Club Sale | It’s done!

[croadyman]

I’m wondering if this is all horse$hit? The Gremlins are holding on as tightly as ever.

Just don't because thought is horrific

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

A bit like a very popular TV show.

They are not serious people.

 

[croadyman]

I’ve changed my mind.

They’re not going anywhere.

It’ll be them and Rat for the long haul.

Jeez and you were so optimistic not long ago,will admit my belief has waned too

I remember when Keegan tweets were cause for optimism but even he's losing faith

Yeah Croads, I was confident but there’s just this creeping feeling that they’re up to something and are orchestrating a more complex deal (i.e Rat’s deal).

If they want a proper, all out sale, with the lack of bidders - basically just ONE bidder who’s after a proper sale, I think it will be announced by July 1st, I think if it drags past then, they’re staying and are arranging some kind of stupid deal with Pratcliffe where he basically finances their mess and becomes the face of the club with those two turds loitering around in the boardroom shadows.

It’s got them written all over it. They can never do anything properly, or fully.

Selling the club is beyond them imo. They suckle on it like sickly babies and have gotten too used to doing so to cut the apron strings and make a clean sale imo.

Hope I’m wrong, for the club’s sake.

i have to say, im with you there. i just cannot see them letting go. I think someone else here has said they are protracting this to punish the fans who have been abusing them for years. It's a kinda ''up yours'' to the fans. the Club I love is being held to ransom by a couple of wannabe wise guys.

"#Man Utd Takeover, Largest holder Lindsell Train continues to raise it's holding in #Man Utd, I spoke with @Stretford_End12 last week,
said he should speak with LT discuss the legal battle Glazers will get from Class A holders. Transfer of ownership Lawsuit #SHEIKHJASSIM only path"

"#Man Utd Cayman Islands law gives the right to challenge deals and to receive “fair value” for their shares as determined by a judge.
The Cayman courts in October ruled in favour of minority shareholders in a take-private case that lawyers at Loeb Smith called a landmark decision."

 

[sparx99]

You have imagine that shareholders will be asking about the takeover at the AGM or at least the club have to have an update on it. You can’t keep shareholders in the dark forever.

 

[Ted Lasso]

Manchester United still has £725+ Million in gross debt.

If you support INEOS or any other buyout bid that 1. Keeps the Glazers here and or 2. Doesn't clear the club debt, then you're anti-Manchester United. It's that simple.

 

[Majiek7777]

Has to be an update at the Shareholders meeting. They can't treat them like this and get away with it. Nobody knows where they stand.

things are starting to boil over now. The anger.

 

[JediSith]

They are not serious people.

when the dividends ran out, and the bids weren’t as they thought. They talked about love

 

[Adisa]

This is disgraceful. Sell the club ffs!

 

[Cantonagotmehere]

Nothing will happen to them. Too much security and very few people are that stupid.

Hope so, and that makes sense. But if i'm them, now facking way. Enjoy their blood money in the States and Middle East.

 

[Cantonagotmehere]

When Slabhead decides to go, the Glazers will go? Kind of makes sense.

 

[Cantonagotmehere]

When the Glazers took over, they basically handed full power to Fergie & Gill - they didn't need to do much apart from approve transfer budgets. Fergie had more power and freedom than he'd ever had before as he used to have to answer to the board of directors.

The problems came when Fergie & Gill retired and Joel Glazer become involved in day to day running of the club via Woodward.

Sad, but true. Gill leaving was a death blow.

 

[RedIke]

The longest, most depressing episode of Succession playing out... Except it has to do with a something much more important than a fake television network.

 

[oz insomniac]

Just a prolonged episode of the Glazer failure, they sat back put the incompetent Woodward in charge as a reward for organising a cash free purchase. Sat back and watched the terrible decisions he made in appointments and recruitment and wages. Now they are content to suck the club dry so that the most decent manager we have had since Fergie can watch his endeavours shrink as they waste time for a few dollars more.

Has there been a worse example of ownership , I don’t know enough about Blackpool for instance, at such a major club. They seem awful and uncaring , and incompetent other than counting cash.Please fornicate elsewhere and let the club move on.

Amen to this. Fully agree.

feck sake.

Go on, tell us all why Ratcliffe is going to spunk 6bn on financing the Glazers and is essentially just a figurehead while they continue.

Would be incredibly stupid for anybody, Ratcliffe may be many things, stupid isn't one.

 

[bringbackbebe]

Their love for United is unquestionable. It was worth 20m a year in dividends.

 

[sglowrider]

What the feck are you talking about you mad man.
The bit I bolded was the part where you claimed an inevitable recession for the uk.?
The IMF has predicted the Uk was heading into recession for the last 2/3 quarters and they got it wrong.

I want the AGM to end up like the future planning committee from In the Loop. Just loads of people blagging their way in.

Will say by July 3 as we both know this club never announces big news on a weekend. There is also the fact that it's Eid which will delay things again on the Qatar side. I completely agree it's hard not to feel they are staying if we hear nothing by then

 

[sglowrider]

Yes but any US recession will almost be a global recession.

A U.S. recession is coming this year, HSBC warns — with Europe to follow in 2024

So if the Glazers are smart, bird in hand is the best approach.

 

[Wezzaldo]

They were basically running things long before he died as well, almost from the very beginning of the nightmare. For all his many, many, many faults, old Malc was at least somewhat competent as a businessman if nothing else. His children, well the two ghools charged with running United are anything but.

Is it a coincidence though that our debt was at its lowest in 2014 (£342m), the steadily rose after he died?

I’m sure one is coming, I have no idea how this shit works but my main point is that many posters on here claim stuff as fact, they put stuff down on here like they know more than anyone else and that if you even begin to question their claim you’re thick as shit and this thread is particularly bad for it.

Anyway crack on

From my point of view the Jedi are Evil.

 

[stevoc]

When all the fans realise that the Glazers are only selling at £6bn, that’s when the euphoria will soon be cancelled out by sheer disbelief !

It's genuinely sickening.

I believe Malcolm would have got a grip of Woodward burning all his money. The children have no concept of loss

Because it's not their money Woodward was wasting.

A bit like a very popular TV show.

Is it called cnuts?

Is this an issue of:

A) Death of expertise?
b) is this the case of the inability to differentiate opinions from facts?
C) or both?

My country's recession indicator has been flashing for years. It's not flashing anymore. Mainly due to load shedding

He had the big daddy diesel balls to come out when the Reuters news broke, at a time we all thought it was over, and predicted we'd be none the wiser after two weeks.
