Club Sale | It’s done!

[Matriac]

Quick question for those in the thread - do anyone of you actually think this isnt getting done or are you just wishing it would be announced? It seems clear its Qatars. Anyone actually think its not agreed?

Maybe it's cause I've stopped checking the thread as thoroughly as I got a bit tired of loads people misinterpreting the same information differently, and instead rely on the information I see through other channels.

But I still think both sides are in it with a chance.
Qatar might be ahead, but like with player transfers it's rarely over until the end.

Can we have a more relevant thread title

What would you go for?

Done.

What would you go for?

The Never Ending Story 4: Club Sale

 

[Matriac]

Done.

Now I can't find this thread anymore without an absurd title.

 

[calodo2003]

Is the new thread title reduction like the slight softening before the orgasm?

Asking for my cock as it’s been anticipating the sale for a while now.

 

[horsechoker]

Does the title mean we've reached the reboot phases of this saga?

 

[Fanta Stick]

Can you incorporate emojis in thread titles?

I would vote for

Close second

 

[Andycoleno9]

Thread title says it all.

 

[AndySmith1990]

A saga so drawn out and tedious even the thread title can't be arsed anymore

 

[Brophs]

The irony of a guy named Nick Speed covering this sale is a bit amusing

It's not even his real name. He just robs drug dealers.

Difficult to see how the Glazer’s can hang on to the club. The fact they are considering minority investment demonstrates they don’t have the money to continue without help - as they clearly don’t want to put any of their own money in. They seem to be up the creek without a paddle right now. Best they can hope for is that Ineos can borrow enough money to make a 100% offer that is better than Qatar. But they are not going to get anywhere near what their twisted imagination thinks what the club is worth. Value is the sum that a buyer thinks that it’s worth, not a made up number. They should take the money and run - fast

I think most will be surprised if it’s not Qatar. If you’re selling your house, Sir Jim is like the plucky and resourceful property developer who has a mortgage, external loans and has been putting bids on houses all around town. Jassim is a cash buyer paying well above the odds.

 

[Tiber]

Meh hopefully thst report which said City think we might be waiting for the new finance year quarter to make an announcement is true

 

[peridigm]

Done.

Should be "Club Sale ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

The thing is, minority investment is putting their own money in.

If they sell some of their own shares to raise capital for the club it means they are reinvesting money they would otherwise have banked.

If they issue new shares to a minority investor, they’re diluting their own shareholdings and they have to be certain that they can achieve enough growth for it to be worth it. It’s a bunch of vulture capitalists trying to buy minority shares, they’re not going to plough money in without a plan to get more money back out.

 

[Red Shorts]

Done.

I nearly didn't click on it, thinking it was a duplicate thread. Utterly misleading and fraudulent.

We'll definitely hit 2000 pages now @Pexbo

No clue. But i'd rather it not get announced than announce a sale to Qatar.

The de Jong transfer thread was a Haiku, this is an epic

 

[Drifter]

The title reduced to just two words, guess the fatigue has set in

 

[brian017]

No clue. But i'd rather it not get announced than announce a sale to Qatar.

So you’d rather the club stagnate and gradually crumble?

 

[Tiber]

Can we have a more relevant thread title

Booo. Titles were the only joy in this thread

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Thread title should be Club Sale?

Completely different mate. Much cheaper to put your own money in rather than sell out to money sharks. This is what makes me think the minority investment thing is just a scam to try and raise the price. No way are they diluting their shareholding even more as that makes the club even less valuable to them.

That’s my point.

Preparing a document, to facilitate a transaction, for a possible green light that could lead to them potentially sealing a deal to buy the club.

They've obviously spent too much time around the Glazers and their negotiation style has rubbed off on them.

I tend to think we'll get in trouble if we make a habit of doing this in the visible parts of the forum.

Took me almost 20 seconds to find the thread title. Used to be 2 seconds. Everything used to be better in the past.

 

[DOTA]

I like it. It's clean. It's modern.

A thread title ready for July 2023.

 

[sewey89]

Ffs I thought this thread was about a sale on club biscuits and I’ve had to read through all 1895 pages to make sure I didn’t miss the sale date

 

[Tincanalley]

If the Sheikh overpays £2.5 Billion for United (we arent valued anywhere near 6 billion), there's no way on earth he aint coming in and just rocking this club to its core. Why would you pay that much for a club and not essentially be a cheat code within 3 years? If you overpay that much for the actual club, what is he going to do when its his (or his families) actual asset?

The Sheik is rocking nothing. He is a cut out, a stand in for the Kuwaiti State. ‘You’ would not pay anything, any more than any tool or instrument would pay for itself in a shop. Not him, no. He is not paying. Not his family, either, in any normal sense.

 

[Fanta Stick]

It's functional and minimalist.

It's the IKEA of thread titles.
