Watching an Al Thani vs MBS documentary as we speak and I'm convinced Qatar are going to buy us.
Reason?Watching an Al Thani vs MBS documentary as we speak and I'm convinced Qatar are going to buy us.
Just the general pissing match between the two dictators let alone more fuzzier things like growth models, peak oil etc.Reason?
Well that's worrying, Jims bid is dead in the water and SJ has never reached the £5bn mark with 5 attempts. A bit like Weghorst shooting, gets closer each time but never hits the target.If you guys have seen the United View interview with David Hellier, one of the Bloomberg writers who broke the new of JS is confident of winning, I believe he got the source from either Raine or qatar or both since news get out of bloomberg need 2 source to confirm the validity.
1. he said the Sir jim bid has been dead in the water which we already know and he said would be suprised if he wins unless he can find a new partner with a restructure bid. If Hellier's source is from Raine, which means sir jim's bid has been heavily studied and finally deemed as invalid by the Raine.
2. Hellier said the offer from SJ is actually $5B not £5B. He don't post the number in the article because he couldn't find a second source to confirm it.
the 2 point is actually quite worrying because this figure simply imho won't be accepted the greedy Glazers. It may explain why the hold up because there is only 2 offer 1 is deemed as legally impossible and 1 is far from acceptable.
Our history becomes a hobby for old people?!?? Unacceptable!Sir Jim speaks of owning United as a hobby.
I cannot believe Raine would be this unprofessional.No contact in weeks allegedly.

Maybe time moves at a different speed for them? Some sort of temporal anomaly.I cannot believe Raine would be this unprofessional.
That’s the way I see it as well.Because he couldn’t give a shit anymore as he knows he isn’t buying us. Probably couldn’t give two hoots what the Glazers think now.
And is still going to be up to his eyes in debt if Joel managed to sell jim the clubThe thing about Ratcliffe is he's very tall.
Maybe he think's he's close.Any theories on why he's broken his silence?
I've just found Bed Jacobs Cafe accountI'd say both sides know exactly what is going on or they know nothing. And the sale is imminent or there isn't going to be a sale. But I'm only 50% certain of that.
A well thought username.I'd say both sides know exactly what is going on or they know nothing. And the sale is imminent or there isn't going to be a sale. But I'm only 50% certain of that.
It's what I do when I'm close as well...Maybe he think's he's close.
Can`t he just feck off?Also says Ratcliffe is trying to borrow more money to bid for 100%.
Deal could be close.Any theories on why he's broken his silence?
Actually the AH price action can be ignored since the volume is so low unless there is high volume spike. I suspect if the deal could be done the final price would be much higher than us fans expected.HBJ's plane is still in New York. Ratcliffe speaking out. Shares up 3% in after hours trading. It's happening
Or not...
“Your round again I think Jim“Not at all sure that a 70 year old man is legally allowed to refer to his friends as “the lads”.
Ineos have a book coming out next week... It's easy publicity.Any theories on why he's broken his silence?

The Ratcliffe bid for the club doesn't take into account the A class Shareholders, so they won't benefit at all from a sale to SJR. They'll make a significant amount of money in a Qatar takeover.What does that mean ?
What are you even on about?United is too big for Sir Jim, and his latest quotes are evidence of that. We are not a big toy for you to enjoy, sir.
No announcement todayWhat does that mean ?
Significant shareholders of the publicly listed class of shares want the Glazers to sell to Qatar. That's because Qatar, reportedly, want to do a full acquisition, which includes buying the public shares. Contrary to what's been reported about the Ineos bid, which is said to be for only a controlling share of the Glazers' privately held shares.What does that mean ?
He says “United are not a big Toy for SJR”.What are you even on about?
We're only led to believe we are further on if you only believe certain sources. Many in the British media have been repeating that there has been very little interaction since the final bids and that this will roll on into next season. When something is imminent we will know for sure, and it won't be a random article from a single source. Word will start to get out once agreements are reached and wheels start turning, when various different parties are brought in to do their thing (lawyers, finance, PR, club staff whatever).Waking up to the news that Sir James Arthur Ratcliffe FIChemE is still in the mix is disappointing for two reasons -
1. If feels like more steps backwards, we have been led to believe we're further along the process than we actually are which means the damage done to the club is increasing by the day, and
2. the understanding is that Glazers will still be involved in some capacity.
I just cannot support any proposal that involves the Glazers still being around, even if they were silent partners and even if they were contracted to be booted out in a few years time. Tragedies aside, they are the worst thing that's ever happened to this club. The one opportunity in 18 years to be rid of them, we cannot come out of this period with them still being involved, its completely unacceptable.

It means that the guys who stand to get rich off the 100% sale of the club to the Qataris are not happy that the Glazers haven't accepted the bid. If they accept Jim's bid for 69%, they won't get a payout at all.What does that mean ?
Wonder what these doubts are. They don't have the capability to pay up?Tweet
