I'm sure this has already been asked and answered but who is Abdulrahman Abdulla Al-Ansari?

The news that went under the radar yesterday was the premier league financial results. Record growth across the board and with a new format coming for the Champions League and Club World Cup and talk of streaming rights being considered. The Glazer's will find it very difficult to give all that up considering that the Raine Group advised Chelsea that the club could be worth upwards of £9b with the metrics and analytics they are using. This is not over by a long shot. The Qatari are getting desperate in my view that is why they have since declaring that final bid been trying to force the narrative and the demand for exclusivity is further proof of that. Their bid is still under the Glazer's valuation. I have a hunch that the Glazers will continue to drag this out.
With what money though? Or are the Glazers going to let someone take the reins, which would be the pre-condition in terms of any sensible investor, (a) considering how incompetent they are and (b) to defuse the waves of terrible press/ protests/devaluation which would follow from non-transfer of power. There have been strong reports that at least two of the Glazers are also on the hook for money relating to other enterprises.

We getting any market madness today?
Stock is down a further 2% this morning. I suspect the spike yesterday was a direct result of the Reuters piece and the subsequent deflation is reflective of sentiment in all the other non-Reuters stories that came out later in the day.

Of course it is. The stock price moving based on people like @Pexbo buying and selling the shares based on tweets.

Not really. The volume traded over the last few days was very large, indicating it's institutional money, not retail.

Thanks. The only thing that came up for me when I searched was an MEN clickbait article that had no info about him other than his name in the headline, and an article about what would have been the oldest looking 32 year person I've ever seen.

The share price has over and over again moved based on Twitter rumours and then those rumours being debunked.

If I had my money in a fund that was aping into United stock on the back of a retweet of an account with 250 followers I’d be quickly taking my money out of that fund and the fund manager wouldn’t last 5 minutes in their job.

Yep. And the fact that the share price is pretty much back to where we were pre-Reuters article just shows how much people are buying and selling on news of the moment, as opposed to long term strategies.

Them & Rio are only ones keeping me positive
We are in the end game, SJ wants exclusivity to complete the deal, The Glazers are saying just one more increase and we are there, nearer £5.5bn and we behave a deal then you can announce it because since we last spoke SJR will offer £200m more This is how it as playing out !

If Rio turns out to be wrong on this (let’s say, no announcement by close of play on Monday next week) then he’s dead to me. Absolute weapon to come out with that yesterday if he wasn’t at least 100% sure it was true.

I've got stock alerts for 30 and 35 dollars
I’ve got a stop-limit at $19/$18 - if it gets back down to there we’re in SJR all but confirmed territory and it will probably go down to sub $14.

So he is the one naturalising all those African athletes? Who said Qatar can’t conform to western ideologies. No wonder they went after the PSG because they’ve not done bad following in their ways.

Copycat.

I hope you are right but you have to doubt if the Glazers ever intended to sell the club or is this just a way to increase the share price. They dont care about United and transfer windows, all they care is to get more money. I believe they will even drag the saga on for a year if they thought they would make more money from doing so. With the share price at over $25 a share, lets hope for the announcement of the sale soon.

Does anybody really believe that Matt Lawton and Ben Jacobs moves the markets?

Of course not, but if you take the cumulative sentiment of the reports over the past 24 hours, they are suggestive that the share price shouldn't have moved much since nothing definitive has happened.
