Seems like SJ can’t really afford to go higher.
…puts an end to the state bid/moral argument as one man can’t be held accountable for Qatari past misgivings.
Glazers here to stay. Club debt goes to Ineos. Let’s hope better club decisions are made than the Glazers…

New banner idea:
"Milking means Milking DRY #GlazersIn "
"Milking means Milking DRY #GlazersIn "
All the 5th bid will do is more indecision amongst the 6 Glazers Goblins
I wonder how they wrangle dividends out…it’s gotta be part of the deal with Sir Jimmy.
I've read again pal. You're suggesting SJR is only offering 3 billion, as opposed to Sheikh Jassim's 5.2 billionWhat the hell are you on about? you're merging multiple Jim offers together and trying to tell me im making stuff up
He's offering around 3B go read again pal

Didn't psg with the league within a year or two of the takeover? With 4 years you would have thought Jim could have at least made them a CL side
Didn’t the Glazers want 6b USD?
Judging by their track record at Nice I don’t hold much hope of that happening.
To suggest it won’t be considered though is utterly fanciful
Pounds
No. They wanted 6b Pounds.
GBP
If Qatar offer 5.5 it’s theirs.
He’s just raised his bid by £400m or $500m that’s doesn’t sound like someone who can’t afford to go higher? The new bid is $6.5bn plus $1bn
You’re 10 pages behind. News travels fast on the ‘Caf.
That's a lot of quality beef steak.

I mean, as opposed to the childish and petulant behaviour you have displayed in this thread? Even telling us beforehand that you will act even more petulant and childish if a bid that on paper doesn't exactly look good for the future of the club, is the preferred one? There are major red flags with both bids and none of them screams perfect for us, yet you want to gloat which I find baffling.
It's not condescending garbage. It's the truth. Saying feck the Glazers and Glazers out doesn't get them out. Being smart and finding a way to get control of the club with a plan to get full control in a few years is how you get them out, if they are unsure about leaving right this second.
What matters for us is we have a new owner in control. New people making decisions. How that gets done, don't give a feck, as long as it gets done. The person who is clever enough to get in the door, props to them. Nothing stopped Qatar from doing the same.
Nobody is spending billions on the club to take over 51% and not have control. That's a non starter. The Glazers want to remain on because they think it will go up in value. They are entitled to think that, and SJR is finding a medium that gives him control while they can see their shares increase in value because that is what it'll take.
Don't know why so many people assume 6b is a magical number. From the start, it was mentioned that they are looking for 6b minimum if they are looking to sell. Qatar hasn't been anywhere close.
None of our rivals want to see United w Qatar, they’re scared shitless.
3b for 51% vs 5.21 for 100% is the difference between 5.8m/% vs 5.2m/%
6 billion pounds unfortunately, so both parties are nearly 1 billion away in the Glazers valuation. It does get a bit confusing when multiple places keep changing the currency from pounds to euro's to dollars.
There is hardly anything in it
So according to rumours what did SJ offer last time when he lowballed SJR's offer?
So the key is how much they get for the earn down part of the agreement I guess?
The article is over a month old. That was when the news was of a 69% bid
It's looking like his bid of 51% or whatever it is will win him the deal and he isn't paying 5.5B for 51%
Yes
Sure. But yelling at them doesn't get them to sell. They are in control and choose what they want to do. If they want to stay on in some capacity, minority stakeholders where they don't make decisions but get money, there is feck all anybody can do about it. It's still up to the bidders to find a way to get in the door to take control with the future view of full ownership.
Malcolm Glazer has only just acquired the club. Why would he bring in Ratcliffe right now?
Ratcliffe isn’t offering 5billion for 51%
Probably best to judge Nice in 5 years. Sure he’s had a bad start but seemingly good decisions were made that backfired on him too.
Football clubs take a fair amount of time to build. Newcastle got lucky this season due to their manager and smart recruitment.
Part of that was luck part of that was smart. You need a bit of both to get a club steered in the right direction.
Challenging PSG in the first 5 years isn’t even remotely realistic anyways. He probably meant in time which could be correct considering PSG underachieve usually.
You need a fraction of their resources to compete in the French League since the games aren’t such a high level.

Wowzers you're having a nightmare here
After a massive rant about people not reading as well
Because there's like 10 Qatari fans for every person that doesn't want United to become a scummy oil club, and there's way too much made up bullshit against Ratcliffe and way too much made up bullshit in favor of Jassim.
When someone is bringing up all the unethical stuff Ratcliffe and Ineos have done in the last 20 years but at the same time begging for a despotic regime with systematical human rights abuses over its own people, women and migrants from mostly South East Asia...then they are colossal bellends.
Siege mentality, you know.
A legitimate concern.
Question: do you refuse to watch United on the telly when we play City or Newcastle? For those who have chucked their principles into the bin, it could plausibly be argued that we’ve been dealing with the devil.
Clubs in the same league with much less resources available, money spent and less market value have lapped them up on the pitch consistently though.
Its a fact that they were better ran in the years prior to INEOS ownership and it's subsequent nepotism
