I know you are right, but these comments coming from SJR directly. My only hope with him, is that the accuracy of these reports that his proposal includes keeping the Glazers involved are not true. Would have no problem with him, other than I'm really concerned they would still be around.
Thought Woodward had class B shares.
Probably "is this coming from the State".
So Jims bid is dead in the water. Just waiting for the two hold outs in the board to wake up to the fact
I think for balance, mods should autocorrect SJ as "Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber bin Mohammed bin Thani Al Thani"
Sure, but why would they be concerned with that? It's unlikely to hold up any formalities given the front is still Nine Two Foundation.
I don’t think we should resign CameronHBJ's plane is still in New York. Ratcliffe speaking out. Shares up 3% in after hours trading. It's happening
Or not...
Like a lot of finance reporters have said, nobody actually has a clue about the true process/progress of the deal. Football journos need their clicks and traffic.
They won’t be. If anything Times article confirms the previous stories, it seems that’s just added for so called balance in the narrative.
Same thoughts here. feckers should just end our agony and announce they've called off the process.All I'm extracting from the latest development is that we are no closer to finding out who the bidder is or when this will complete. If anything we are further back than I thought
Jim wouldn't be delisting the club.
Bloomberg and Reuters I am sure reported on information they thought was solid, but with each passing day it appears less solid, even if Qatar end up winning.
Cheers, makes sense.
The Athletic feature on Sheikh Jassim insinuated how close he is to the State.... i mean, anyone with some figment of imagination can see that.

No but it did take Newcastle about a month to go through the fit and proper test.
The main issue with Newcastle was that Saudi were literally pirating the Premier League TV rights. Once that was sorted it was pretty plain sailing wasn't it?
Thats alot of souls you are wishing eternal damnation upon.
The easy way to please the shareholders is to buy the public shares at the same price as Glazers shares even in full or part. People don't want Glazers to stay (more so than they hate an immoral regime) but the public shares plus an amount of Glazer shares to gain control would be the obvious solution.
Ah, cheers for that.
Thats quite sad... what have you against the people of Qatar and the ME countries?
It’s not sad, it’s a fecking horrible statement.
He also likened it to a rich bloke buying a piece of fine art as it represented an opportunity to have a bit of fun later in life.
Ratcliffe has all his media chums working hard today. The Athletic published a full on propaganda piece spinning debt as a positive
I'm sure Qatar has some media chums on their side too.
United fan Jimbo willing to have our season compromised incase the Glazers get desperate and decide to buckle to his offering.
I mean I already know about it tbh and you don't need to tell me about it. Still that wasn't really cool of you for saying that.
Indeed.
From the article:
That's a lot of money owed, especially if he borrows a total of $6bn for the club and piles that on top...
That's the British media in a nutshell.
I think as part of the takeover completion he was given some class A shares?
So not only fecking up the fans by keeping the leeches, he is happy with fecking ETH and his preparation for next season. If this brexiteer take over the club, we will swim in mediocrity forever.
I can’t understand how he expects the Glazers to talk tough his bid when Jim knows it falls at every hurdle.
Thats the majority of the united fan base, about half a billion.
You know for a fact half a billion of United fans want Qatar taking over?
