You can't just use inflation as a measure of previous fees and current. Things like revenue also need to be taken into account.
Surely he won't say anything his masters don't want to.
Good point. They wouldn't want to lose face by saying something that wasn't true and have it proved to not be true.
You haven’t factored inflation into our revenue
I don’t think anything this guy says or does has any impact on the Glazers. Just like any other BS merchant he’s now backtracking.
It seems there is some backtracking, saying that you have to be patient to be successful, and they’re willing to pull out if the deal is not right, or something along those lines..
If he is a mouthpiece droog then this is just a bit of to-and-fro.
I've probably just been added to some FBI or CIA list for even reading that tweet.
So the trick is to try and find another Arab Prince to buy it, suddenly it'll become an ego thing and they'll be signing cheques like Woody for an aging big name player.
"Hello. I am the New York Stock Exchange, and
I announce that some blokes have bought United."
Yeah and right now we are playing FM with two amputated arms.

So basically crap to start with and now they're pulling the same rubbish reporters do when they have no idea what's going on? Braw.
Some news from a non Saudi source...
That's an absolutely staggering amount of money. Outside of oil states is there anyone who can realistically buy us, that price seems a lot even for the uber wealthy?
They're worth 1.2 trillion? What the actual feck?

Everything about this guy just screams 'twat'
You think oil money owners will want him? I say theyll want a Pep type. None of the sugardaddy billionaires have bought clubs with the vision of playing defensive footballLooking forward to Jose's thoughts if we get oil money owners
Looks like the Western journalists are giving this some more attention. God I feel conflicted.
basically, just like how reporters say we signed a player when we haven’t, but I still feel like there might be something in this..
our new Ed
Time Warner is a much bigger company that generated 19bn last year, their net incomes are in billions while for United it's in the dozens of millions. In that context 4bn is an awful lot.
Obviously they have to but is it really enforceable? These guys could discuss the broad parameters of the deal and when you see them confirming anything it will be as good as done.
My opinion on this is that with recent results and the fact that if we have another poor finish, sponsorship money will take a huge hit, the Glazers would likely jump at the chance to sell.
