I hope we are in the endgame now. This is exhausting.
Club Sale | It’s done!

People with unlimited money think a lot of themselves. They didn't take initial negotiations seriously. They didn't take competition seriously. It's literally Woodward trying to buy Maguire. It's a joke from them in terms of negotiations and we should be fecking terrified of how they'd run us if they were to actually win.
Share price up 6.5% in pre market trade
If you think the Glazers are going to accept the lower offer then you're going to be left disappointed.
They have no sentimental attachment to Man United, apart from their selling their main cash cow.
They don't give a crap who the fans want to buy the club and will only accept the offer that suits them and makes them the most money, which reportedly seems to be the INEOS offer.
in this saga no reporter/media has been 100% reliable. So will take this update with that pinch of salt!
Friday, isnt far away...
We were always sustainable, and the actual people involved with Nice don’t have anything good to say.
But sure keep up hopium I guess since apparently how a club is bought dictates how we’d do transfer dealings as well
It's always been a case of screwing the most money out of the Qataris. I imagine they will be announced Friday or Monday.
The Glazers would receive more money now.
Sir Jim has this locked. This looks like a Hail Mary.
Zero chance
Will this ever actually end?
Imagine them buying a player who is valued at 80 mil. “We will give you 50 mil, but we will give the player 70 mil in wages over the next three years and we will vastly improve him so he can win balon d’or in future. This is our last and best offer.”
Below his initial tweet Keegan said the bid didn’t go in today, it’s just being reported on now

It’s fascinating how some here can’t differentiate from the fact buying 1% for £2 is massively different in many aspects from buying 100% for £100.
Hated by the majority and understandably so,shame really but when you offer to keep on leeches what did you expect Ratcliffe
They wouldn’t be if it wasn’t an option
Amateurish is not taking any deadlines seriously. Amateurish is not taking competition seriously. Amateurish is making 2 offers after what was supposed to be the 3rd and final round of bidding. Ratcliffe was smart and clever with negotiations and found a medium that got him discussing finer details with them to get the deal done, with the eventual succession plan to be the full owner. Qatar didn't have the business nous to think of that. That's all it is. They've been entirely amateurish this whole process, Ratcliffe has been smart and showed his experience at getting deals done.
Yeah Ratcliffe is too soft on them
Yeah pity he has then ruined Lausanne and NICE with terrible ownership,don't worry rivals they will be staying on to ruin us more
This was the only way he could buy into the club.
Reckon that will be that. Glazers have done what they are best at, squeezing the lemon until there’s nothing left and taking the cash.
Likely true. If true, a grim future for United is in the cards. Buckle up for more of top four football for years to come, amigos.
Looks a little desperate, yes. A Hail Mary, possibly, but I think it is more likely that, as per The Times above this is a bit of PR cover to allow Qatar to walk away before Ineos emerge as winners - "we tried, but the Glazers didn't want to sell". It seems that negotiations between Ineos and Raine are a long way down the road.
This is what I don’t understand - why do they not understand that the Glazers don’t care what SJ is going to do after a takeover because they won’t be involved anymore. Just like they’re not bothered about what happens with the shares they don’t own.
Which is everyone’s problem with him in the first place
The Qataris are not clever enough to do either of those things. The only ones who will hate Ratcliffe are, well... Like the Qataris.
Yeah sold his soul to the satans
It's a mess
You speak for yourself
It's good that not all United fans have completely lost the plot.
Yeah and no league titles for us,hope you can sleep at night dealing with the devil JIM
If SJ is serious he’d be better off just trying to buy the Glazers out first and worry about the minority shares after that.
Sir Jim beat Jassim completely. Guy just knows the business. I bet that Jassim didn't expect that trick with bid which includes Glazers staying.
This "final bid" (second final bid
) is just another proof that Jassim is losing a battle.
Well done Jim.
We are fecked.

Even if Sheikh’s bid was higher valuation than Ineos, it would be true Glazer arrogance to still reject it just because they didn’t like the fact he gave them a deadline.
Hard to believe we're very likely not going to be rid of them. Rival fans must be pissing themselves laughing.
It's about as good an indicator as anything. Well that, and look at how PSG is run. You want our new owners handing the keys to the kingdom to Mbappe, bending over backwards just to keep a player at a club? Being a rollercoaster off the pitch? A revolving door of managers, constant 150m+ signings and the owners wanting to be the center of attention, everything the club is about being thrown in the trash?
Run us like a normal, smart club. How the feck do you get we are a sustainable club? We are run like shit under the Glazers. All they had to do to be acceptable owners was run us smartly. We don't need Arab money. We need just smart owners.
Obviously Glazer's have been waiting for another's bid from Jassim otherwise they would've accepted this bid that Ineos put in weeks ago that was worth more and has apparently had Ineos in the lead. So now the bid is made and the deadline has been placed by Jassim, hopefully it is the endgame. Unless Jassim goes back on this Friday deadline, which would be suicide basically. Would leave him in no position of strength.
I feel this is what the Glazer's have been waiting for and hopefully, it's enough to convince them of Jassim or accept the Ineos offer. One way or the other, finish this damned process.

That’s what he’s trying to do. Buy their 69%. There’s no obligation or deadline to buy the remaining from the stock market.
Because the other clubs were bought for a fraction of our asking price
