Club Sale | It’s done!

[Berbaclass]

There was loads of talk last week about it being sorted within 48 hours

Nobody knows feck all do they

Must have meant 48 days

You would think the major sponsors need to step in at some point. This doesn’t reflect well on the club at all, and any reputational damage is also a risk for the sponsors.

This is quite possibly one of the most absurd takes I've seen regarding the sale.

This does absolute nothing to the reputation.

The only thing getting hurt here is fans feelings.

So, if a board meeting did take place, there seems to have been no discussion on the minority interest options - at least not reported. Wonder if this is the clearest sign they really want to sell, but not until they receive an acceptable offer.

I think MI6 will be looking at intervening at this point. It's causing untold harm to the image of this country.

The problem for Qatar is that the Glazers have no rush to sell at all. If Qatar really wants to buy United I really think they need to upper their offer asap. Otherwise they won't be able to compete in this summer transfer window. Hopefully they can put in an other couple of 100M to complete the deal.

Doesn’t affect the sponsors at all - all they are interested in is Utd winning and qualifying for CL. Job done.

And after all the shit the social media team get too. Well played lads.

Based on these latest reports coupled with how the whole process has been,it is very clear that,the Glazers seem to be using SJR to extract more from the Sheikh.

I see the Glazers preferring full takeover instead of partial/minority stake.

 

[The Brown Bull]

Are we sold yet?

Fan protest has already turned away two major sponsors that we know of

Neville races onto the pitch and begins hitting Avram in the face and stamping his foot on the floor at the exact same that his slaps land, but Avram tags Joel in and the two of them double clothes line Neville, leave him dazed on the floor. Avram struts around Neville, running his hands through his weird ‘ponytail’ and holding his hand to his ear gesturing to the crowd as they boo loudly…

Suddenly, the Undertaker theme kicks in and the lights go down…

Sheik Jassim slowly walks up the tunnel with his head down and his kaffiyeh hanging down over his face.

Avram and Joel begin to panic, pointing at the emerging Sheik and covering their mouths with shock…

(someone else please carry this on)

Then a fan jumps the barrier and shoots them all dead. It was hosted in America after all

That looks photoshopped

Thoughts and prayers ensue.

[KiD MoYeS]

To be fair the players don't need this distraction the week of the cup final, I'm not expecting any updates until after the final.

 

[croadyman]

That leaves them really short in terms of the valuation for the sale. It’s Jim’s to lose!

Yeah and won't change until they match him

Interesting point, that’s a very valid assumption.

 

[croadyman]

I don’t think they can. They seem really limited in terms of initial investment.

Well it's time to admit defeat then

 

[Nou_Camp99]

Seems like the leeches are holding out for Qatar as who they’d prefer to sell the club too.

They prefer to sell the club to whoever gives them the best deal. That's all they care about.

 

[Plant0x84]

Exactly, they should either put up or walk away.

Yeah me neither

That's what happens in an auction mate

Interesting that Stone is one of only journos who hasn't actually talked up Ratcliffe as leading the race. Surely if it's not a state bid they couldn't afford to buy us anyway

To be fair the best deal seems to be having two Glazers get feck all when we don’t know if that’s what they actually want.

cliffe as leading this race

I just had a look on the Muppetiers discord and they are now doing their absolute best to discredit Stone

One of the most reliable sources around so would always believe him over yankee muppets

Why? Are they pro Jim?

What’s a delay in selling got to do with fan protests?

 

[croadyman]

Certainly anti Qatar from what I gather

 

[cyberman]

I was responding to a post asking if sponsors would step in. They’ve already shown to be sensitive to fans anger and becoming a toxic brand.
Sponsors do care beyond just wanting us to win

So what’s the good of Jassim increasing his offer if it’s still a lower valuation than INEOS. He just wasting everybody’s time!

 

[Berbaclass]

Why? Are they pro Jim?

Very much so.

The guy that runs it JRoades claims to have a source on INEOS side and has very recently said he thinks it will be done by June 7

They don't want INEOS offer.

But you replied to my post which said the delay doesn’t affect the sponsors. Just like us fans, the sponsors have no control over the sales process.

 

[Nou_Camp99]

They will have a clause written into any such deal that makes it compulsory for Jim to buy them out fully eventually if that's the route they go down.
