What do you mean by promote? Reuters simply reported on what was currently happening, there has been no promotion.
Club Sale | It’s done!

All of these football/sports journalists don't have a scooby what's going on.
Nah, not Reuters. Their business is based on people making big decisions using the data and news they provide. They won't report something unless they're certain it's true. Reporting rumours would kill their core business.
Exactly and SJR option is so complicated it would take at least 12-16 weeks !
It would be close to a price point where it doesn’t make sense any more demand for the stock coming in as the takeover would only buy them at the agreed takeover price.
However, that’s only if it’s Sheikh Jassim winning. If Ratcliffe wins then I’d expect the stock to tank as Ineos have no plans for the foreseeable future to buy the public stock.
There are around 163 million Utd shares in total I believe. So a price of $35 would put the market cap at around $5.7 billion. Obviously no one knows what the takeover price is or will be yet.
Next week this, next week that..always next bastard week!
This would never happen under Logan Roy.

Totally agree so many fans are not seeing the absolute pure credibility of Reuters, they simply never guess or take a punt, this is Reuters they just don’t do that.
I should have mentioned that part but I was thinking about negotiation more than anything since the idea of the Glazers using it to get more money has been mentioned several times. And the due dilligence should includes third parties who weren't formally part of the process until this point, I don't really know which administrations are supposed to do it in the UK.
Where have all the pro Glazer posters who used to post on here disappear too?
Jesus christ, you sensitive soul.
It was a pop at the media in general.
I won't do it again.
Yes, agreed, some are better than others but I suppose this is not the thread for casual opinions. Unless they exactly match one's own.
They've transitioned to Ratcliffe's.
This is literally season 4 succession.
This feels like it will end in the buyers walking away and being an absolute waste of everyone’s time.
Who's the United version of the gregster? Jones?
Yeah I have always felt it's to sell the club to potential signings,obviously this won't apply until their first window in January
Not seen that show
But it reminds me of Billions or Suits more.Squeeze Jassim for Ratcliffe, Squeeze Ratcliffe for Jassim. Get the best fee, flee.
They are definitely frustrated about that
Just to reiterate, I was bolding the baffling part in someone else’s post. I’m not baffled per se by any of it, my actual point is that I personally think that everything being reported is closer to complete bollocks than to the truth and at this stage it’s more likely the club isn’t sold at all than to either bidder. Glazers longing the whole thing out etc.
However, the news that is being reported is simply not news. An entire article about Jassim entering into negotiations to enter the period of exclusivity is not news. That’s the period you’re in from the very start by virtue of bidding.
they are selling the club in the same manner they have bought it and they have run it, with absolutely no regard for the fans or the clubs footballing performance. they know that stretching this process and trying to squeeze a little bit more out of either bidder has potential to scupper our pre-season plans and having possible longterm consequences, but they don't seem to give a toss.
I want ETH to actually make a statement saying how the sale process is now having a negative impact and front up the glazers.

I cannot allow myself to contemplate that
Some one has to employ all the Qataris in UK. It’s just 800 migrants.
This guy has to stop this mongering of his own thoughts and stop selling the people of Manchester as Feckwits. Likely the people losing their job in these changes will mainly be decision makers and it’s no one’s responsibility to reward incompetency.
i worked at reuters for nearly 10yrs. They are not click bait. They dont just run with rumours, this will be verified with multiple sources. It doesnt mean they are right every time as news changes...but its not based on a whim or rumour as other tweets are. They dont get their revenue based on rumours. they are not the daily star or caughtoffside.
Them & Rio are only ones keeping me positive
Pro Glazer posters? What?
McTominay.
Reuters keep on posting tweets doubling down on their story.
This isn’t directed at you @VP89, but your post sparked a question.
Given the anticipatory outrage at the prospect of Qatari ownership by many of the fans and posters who believe themselves to be the closest or “most attached “ to the club (you know, the match going fans like the MUST spokesperson who besmirched himself on Twitier yesterday and Wumminator who, per their own deluded, Orwellian self importantance, matter more than international fans), if 92 Foundation becomes the new owner of MUFC, by extension of the uber-fan’s logic and apoplectic reaction, shouldn’t we expect to see mass resignations following the sale from those even closer to the club than they are…the staff who are “the fabric of the club”?
What will it say about the make up of the club if the staff continues to take a paycheck from such reprehensible owners? Will the uber fan still root for the team when the fabric of the club is so tainted by their tacit if not overt support for the new owners?
Well he is a better fit by miles. Absolutely disgusting that the club is being whored off like some cheap meat to Qatar. Glazers are a disgusting lot. Knew it would come down to this. All Qatar will do is bring the circus from Paris to Manchester. That last point could be proved wrong of course, but everything from here on in, in terms of success will be hollow from my point of view.
So actually we do not know anything new since the last bid. We might as well read the truth in tea leaves as reading news.
Or just reposting news articles on their Twitter page like every news outlet does?
They've added a nice video breakdown as well.
They're confident in their information, nothing being said by another outlet is gonna change that
Thats not how Reuters operate.
Read again - tweeting their own news repeatedly. It's a twitter thing. Happens with all media outlets
I don't disagree with that.
But wrt the idea that The Times is nothing but a mouthpiece for Ratcliffe...I mean, what's the supposed narrative? In reality it's Qatar (or at least, they're clear favorites), but Jimbo tells his mates at TT he's still very much in the running, and this helps him...how?
Barring some big unknown piece of information, Qatar will buy us after Glazers have squeezed them dry, with no regard for how long the process takes. That's been obvious for months and remains obvious.
