As a general question delisting has lots of benefits. Less risk of hostile take overs, in fact no risk if handled correctly with contracts, more privacy, no speculation, better investment opportunities etc. In this case I presume they just want the club for themselves, as their toy. I am no...

Yes and why would this happen now? It's not like they're leaving next week, even if an announcement is made today. Sending this kind of mass message is more or less a guarantee leak as well, which is why it would never happen until an official announcement has been made.

Chelsea was a forced sale due to Russias invasion of Ukraine. It was a very weak position for Abramovich to be in which affected both the price and the process. Newcastle took 18 months to sell. Qatar is nowhere near as complicated stakeholder as Saudi Arabia, as far as I know. The trade...

Yes it is right. It takes a long time to sell a business the size of Man Utd. Regarding squeezing the last penny of the club, it is was exactly everyone would do. Why the Glaziers should care I do not know. They know they are hated and that no one will thank them or appreciate them if they sell...

There are other ways to invest than new issue of shares, in which case your ownership gets diluted if you don't invest as well. You can make a shareholder contribution for instance. This does not require all owners to contribute. Owners, such as the Glazers, can also protect themselves from...

6 months to sell a business the size of Manchester United is not long. Although very frustrating. And you wonder why they set the first deadline to end of March....They should have announced the sale in August or early September.

It’s too complicated to answer in short. I think it’s extreme hypocrisy to go all in on Russia, ban them from international sport tournaments etc. but have nothing to say against Saudi Arabia for their war on Jemen.

Haha I suppose I am. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss more.

From the end of colonialism and imperialism until the end of WW1 there was a time when the West stood for something good, I think. The economic development of the UK during the 19th century was insane.

Amnesty International is a western offspring.

What morality shall we abandon? The one that has killed perhaps a million Muslim civilians, many children, in Iraq? The one that creates the vacuum of government that enabled Isis to wreck havoc all over the Levantine and beyond? The one that killed Gadaffi? When Putin invaded Ukraine everyone...

Thanks.

Exactly. Difficult to say, although conflicts like Vietnam is perhaps slightly different in its origins.

That’s exactly what I meant. Thanks for your extensive response.

In what way are the bids lower? When they are compared to each other we can presume they are for the same amount of shares. IE we should not believe that SJR bid is £5 billion for 69% and SJ 5 billion for 100% and thus SJR:s 1,5 times as high.
