Club Sale | It’s done!

Qatar are on Eid today, and USA have another of their many bank holidays tomorrow.
Even if we're really positive about things, nothing's happening until later in the week anyway
According to my back of a fag packet calcs, J&A control 33.4% of the votes and so (by a suspiciously exact 0.1%) can block the two thirds majority needed for major changes to the club. Someone else can check my maths but I have it as

On the 4th of July?
Finer details with the Qatar bid.
Maybe @Spoony has some ideas for how to get rid of them
They touch, they break, they steal.
No one here is free.
Here they come, they come for money,
No transfers unless you fix FFP
That could be the reason why this is getting delayed. Where is Woody when we need him (he has some Shares B, I believe)?
He can't. Only Glazer family is allowed to own them.
I could be wrong, but I'm sure he owns like 0.05% of B class or something.
That really could be a good sign, huge NDAs plus if funds are being transferred and checked, this will take time and today is a bank holiday in US.
A Friend of mine whose high up with KPMG told me, just to pay the debt could take a week or two, dependent on whether new loans have been taking out and how the original debt was managed and refinanced. I think we find out one way or another this week and the Goblins might actually stay but then they will have to spend big as the fan base will go crazy at the thought of them not leaving.
Ed Woodward own 0.05% of B shares too !
Long weekend in the US and Eid in Qatar. US back online on Weds, most people I know in Qatar are offline until next week but I think Eid offically ends tomorrow
I can't see them staying, no chance. They are broke and we would see riots never seen at a ground in England. It wouldn't just blow over this, fans pushed to the limit now. The distain we have for them is mutual. As previous posters said, hope we are the final stages before an announcement.
Didn't know that - they must have made an exception if it's true rather than rumour. In any case it's not enough to alter the maths.
Good stuff mate. I know how I will make my kids vote on their 10 shares each I got them for Christmas whenever they went public. (even with the abhorrent ticker).
I mean in general not just today.
I know, was only last week you were celebrating the Qatar buyout for the 11th time this summer.
Believe me, the celebration will come later.
Can't they just use the online app for a settlement figure and then send it via HSBC online banking? Takes a day tops.
I know the YouTube 'fan channels' aren't too popular on here but Stretford Paddock are currently interviewing the guy who penned the Athletic article about Sheikh Jassim.
Why do you think they will care about that any more than they did before? I don't see much prospect of them staying but fan annoyance won't be why they go.
Nope not with sums these large it doesn’t plus it’s more to do with the debt and whose actually owed what, they need to clear the Club debt not the amortised transfer debt, but even club debt of £535m plus operating debt of another £190m or so who are the creditors, and who are there creditors of the creditors, United financials are without doubt a mess, the good news of its SJ he has the best of the best in place to sort these out quickly but I would say 3 or 4 working days from Friday I keep saying it’s either done and all hush hush or it’s not getting done anytime soon?
Not for you though obviously.
Yeah last we heard was Lawton doubling down on his stance about Ratcliffe
Stretford Paddock is probably the best of the lot. Relatively speaking, they're like a broadsheet newspaper compared to most of the others as tabloids. The Athletic is the Financial Times. Mark Goldbridge is a trashy gossip mag for hormonal teenage girls.
But they think the fans are Goons.
How would you rate Utd View
Not watched them, to be fair. Thanks for the recommendation. I might give them a go at so point.
Not rating anything involved with Flex after he repeatedly made fun of Lisandro Martínez while interviewing Toney after Brentford game. Toney even defended Licha and Flex kept humiliating him.
Didn't realise he'd done that
