Jeremy Cross has apparently posted the Glazers want "£8 billion after rejecting £6 billion." Is he someone who talks ballo#*s? It is on United Zone and Utd Exclusive.

what a knobhead

must be a city fan?
scouser, though on the Evertonian side so the loathing towards us is probably slightly less vehement ... Considering SJ's the only party (out of Glaz, SJR and SJ) making concrete commitments to investing in the local area, Burnham might want to carry out some diligence before he starts disparaging any prospective ownership...

He supports Everton but yeah it's a ridiculous take but something a lot of journos are also guilty of. Piling on the praise for City and then saying United should remain out of Qatari hands.

I think this is $8bn not £8bn which is about £6.3bn makes sense, they’ve obviously want more after the latest accounts are projected for record revenues without CL will soon be released,

Probably not wrong, as the Glazers always want more money.

But I also don't agree with this latest accounts view, since it's very short-term, so what happens if we flop hard next season and finish 8th? Will they reduce their valuation then? Will they feck.

No but their argument is they’ve managed to increase revenue from £583m to £640m without CL football, plus they’ve won a trophy for the first time in 5 years and now the Top 5 in PL will qualify for CL, we’ve only finished outside the top 5 three times in the last 30 years, accepted they’ve all come after Sir Alex ?

Indeed, that's a fair view to take but then you look at the investment needed to sustain the valuation levels (i.e, keep OT from collapsing) and if it wasn't a football club, bidders would walk away.

In any case, these guys will want what they want, so I just hope they are gone before Xmas, so we can enjoy most of this season.

I’m surprised these pricks haven’t taken to Hazard/Greizmann style arse-wiggling Tweets yet.

Yeah fecking hypocrite and certainly not helping our cause with views like that. Will be sickening if some of the reliable sources back up what Cross is saying about the leeches wanting £8bn

Of course not, but it increases pressure on them, that’s something.

And if more players who supposedly Love the club did the same it would make it more difficult for them to keep treating fans and the club so badly with literally no come back.
Yeah too many ex players aren't vocal enough

Mad that he’s got issue with Utd potentially having ME ownership when this was his take on City just a month ago…

Mayor of Manchester reacts to Man City

I wonder why he has such radically differing stances on two clubs within the same city…? Very odd.
I like Andy Burnham but this sort anti United comment is so typical these days, it used to be reserved for journalists but now politicians are wading in too but I suppose like any politician if the Qataris do take over United and throw a few billion into the infrastructure and community around Old Trafford his tune will soon change.

Just popped in and last time I was here was 26 June. Thanks feck for that, it's the hope that kills you.

Only interesting thing I can see is that mancs somehow voted a scouser as their Mayor :wenger:

So Manchester’s Mayor is also ABU? What difference have Qatari owners for a United to City owners?

Appreciate the City money and their investments though.

How quickly do the pro-Qatari commentariat attack Andy Burnham with allegations of 'hypocrisy' and whataboutery. They can brook no disagreement. Can't, not won't. It's how sports-washing works.

Burnham actually does not say no to precious Qatari rule, rather questions where the 92F's money is really coming from. This is what provokes discomfort. A legitimate point.

As for Qatar's 'investment', it is just gentrification. It doesn't help actual citizens. Either do 'state of the art' concert venues or other distractions.

Where Burnham does go wrong is implying the Qatari may now become open to dialogue regarding legislative changes. A complete pipe-dream. Qatar want United to sell Qatar, to consolidate the regime and not to change anything. To buy consent just like city and newcastle have.

Judging by the hyperbolic over-reactions on here, it's a sad process off to a depressingly good start.

Odds we would've been sold come start of the season?
Roughly the same as Luton winning the PL this year, maybe slightly lower.... or, higher i guess i should say.
