Can they persuade him is still the question
Club Sale | It’s done!

I agree but in all fairness the future of the club is about more than just this summer.
I imagine we won’t see much of him. He’ll probably be at a game once it’s done but after that I’d expect him to just be in the background.
Make sure it's a good one Jassim
As long as their true to their word and put the money in the club and invest then I don’t really care personally.
Well he seems heading towards that direction. The issue is how long will it take and if they have the patience/time to wait till then. Its all a poker game here. On one hand they would want to make as much money as possible. On the other hand there is every chance that SJR or Jassim could pull out of this farce. In that case they'll end with only one owner who'll have every incentive to lowballing them. The Glazers are walking on a very tight line here.
I can't blame Jassim either. There is every chance that he's bidding against himself here.
I don't recall that one of him in the United shirt is photoshopped. Apparently it's a leaked photo from a friend of his Instagram story.
Well I might be completely wrong of course and will have to look silly. But there is no timeline on this game of chicken and the INEOS bid has to be real for this to work. At some point the Qataris will get fed up with looking like chumps and say take it or leave it. And the Glazers will most likely take it. So it's as long as the Emir's patience.
There's plenty of other photos showing him preforming pilgrimage (Umrah or Hajj) & pictures of him at business conferences. The newspapers have just been lazy to do any digging. I'd like but I dont have enough privileges
Plus the huge business opportunities SJ bid will offer them in the Middle East with their Cricket and NFL franchises
Honestly if I was an advisor to the Glazers I would tell them the following. Unlike your good self whose wealth came straight on your lap, SJR is a self made man. Don't go into a long term deal with the guy as he'll probably screw you over.
They've pledged £800m to improve the stadium, training ground etc, that isn't going to go far at all in the current climate.
I don't get this angle. No NFL player is going to want to suit up and play in the heat of the Arabian peninsula.
I don’t think that would be for the stadium
10/10 for effort.
That’s ridiculous by the way. Why do they do that?
Be up front, not rely on doctored images and made up stuff.
That QatariFC tweet about the INEOS car crashing in ‘qatar’ when it was actually a Mercedes in Monaco pissed me off too. It’s all so murky and sketchy. It’s pathetic.
It’s blatantly obvious that it’s doctored. Embarrassing really
It was a joke man
Damn right it was, and so is that particular account!It was a joke man
Don’t take it so personallyDamn right it was, and so is that particular account!
So when is the news planned to be released?
a. when we lose the FA cup
b. when city win the treble
Bit of a conundrum for them I bet

Other reports say the £800m is to clear debt. The lack of transparency means that everyone is just guessing. It really is a shambles from a fans perspective.
that gave me a laugh. Thanks.At this stage I’m seriously doubting we will be sold at all
Why? Deals like this normally take much longer.
Oh he is definitely not in it for the money.Considering what her brothers look like (especially Avram) Darcie could have been much, much rougher. She’s quite lucky
(she’s the one on the left)
It’s illegal to offer a price per share for the 31% listed stocks. Can only be done via the NYSE.
Is it normal for bidders this big to be toyed with the way Glazers are doing?
Surely there is some clarity behind the scenes.. They cant be waiting for this long without any feedback...

I don’t doubt that they do.
but here we have a deal where it’s been fairly clear what the asking price is from the start of the process.
I don’t buy any of the stuff like the Glazers are waiting for such and such an event to announce things with Sir Jim to avoid any kind of protest. That’s always been a red herring for me quite simply cos the Glazers could care less about such things. They have had protests since day one of their ownership so another one isn’t going to rock their world. This leads me to believe there is no deal with him.
In terms of the sheikh it’s more or less the same - he hasn’t met the price and there is no deal there. At least at the minute. If there is a deal to be had I’d still wager it’s with Qatar though.
But One, two or even all three of the parties are bound to lose patience sooner or later the longer this drags on. And we could be right back where we started.
No, take absolutely no notice, Sky are rubbish.
There is actually very few good sources around, they all talk bollocks for clicks and views.
Someone might correct me but I think the journalist who broke it for sky news (not skysports) is the same guy who broke the original story in the OP of this thread
Apparently he’s very reliable, if it’s the same guy
The day City are winning it, because our news will massively overshadow their illegitimate trophy haul..
It's being run on very simple maths if you understand it...
https://web.stanford.edu/~jdlevin/Econ 286/Auctions.pdf
2.1 A General Model • Bidders i = 1, ..., n • Signals S1, ..., Sn with joint density f(·) • Signals are (i) exchangeable, and (ii) affiliated. — Signals are exchangeable if s0 is a permutation of s ⇒ f(s) = f(s0 ). — Signals are affiliated if f(s ∧ s0 )f(s ∨ s0 ) ≥ f(s0 )f(s) (i.e. sj |si has monotone likelihood ratio property). • Value to bidder i is v(si, s−i).
This is simple maths!!!
c. middle of next season, just after the January transfer window after we haven't signed anyone and we're lying in seventh place.
Air conditioned Stadiums remember the FIFA World Cup ?
I know right. People should just skip straight to the numbers and it's all crystal clear.
In English it is roughly translated as fek everyone about until you maximise the chance of getting the best price.
Yeah, also play the game at Christmas in the middle of the night. No problem
He hasn't done that. He's buying the Glazer shares.
I don't get the nfl thing. Tv deals aren't negotiated by a single owner and the NFL preseason is so structured, the Bucs aren't going to just jet off to Qatar for a week during training camp
