Club Sale | It’s done!

Probably bought it from The Works.Clown
It's a much shittier deal for the Glazers than Jassim's bid though. They get less money, their grip on the club becomes looser and they probably cede control outright to Elliot within a couple of years.
They would all need to agree to a sale. I can only see a partial sale working where they each sell a very small percentage to raise £500m odd just to alleviate the pressure and allow them to sell in a few years time.
How and why anyone will offer them a lot more in the short term is fairly unlikely but they are motivated by greed not competence.
Funds from a partial investment have to go to the club so they will only sell off the minimum if they went through with it. Obviously any percentage they effectively give away has to be made up as well which will only push their unrealistic price even higher.
And then those two will get through to the next stage again where they will be asked how much they are willing to offer for the club
I don't disagree. It just seems like they aren't willing to let go.
Is Fred going to hustle the Glazers into selling up quicker?!
Oopps, sorry about that. Multitasking is not my strong side while watching United play.Not your day either fella, you’re in the wrong thread!!
I don't believe anything related to this takeover unless its reported by Unclecuntypal
No need to apologise, raised a smile at least!!Oopps, sorry about that. Multitasking is not my strong side while watching United play.
People have really fallen for this Joel and Avram being emotionally invested in the club business hook line and sinker.
It’s a negotiation tactic. What sort of position would they have been in if all the Glazers were known to want rid?
Nah, feck him. He’s Ole out!
Actually, at this point, you won’t have many hours ticking on the advisors side. The process was lined up so that a buyer could be selected in late March.
Depending on who wins the auction, if the buyer will go for 100% or just the 69%, the merger process could easily go on for 8-10 weeks — after the Glazers have agreed to sell their shares. But that is another issue.
I wonder if Keys and Gray will suddenly love United and lavish praise on the team?
Urgh, that’s a more sickening prospect than state ownership to be fair. Fecking dinosaurs.
Indeed I prefer the current state of affairs where United winning or even anything positive about United triggers Wolfman Keys.Urgh, that’s a more sickening prospect than state ownership to be fair. Fecking dinosaurs.
It would be hilarious if the Glazers manage to feck up their fecking off. Won't happen tough, as it's probably the worst outcome for themselves.
They would have damaged United's brand, their own reputation and (as they surely shared a lot of private information with the bidders) they should be prepared for the leaks that make the stock price drop a little more. Letting Elliot in would in fact mean having two insurmountable debts instead of one.

Someone just needs to invest in some effort and put together a compilation video of their ABU behaviour and they will be sent back to Blighty.
Well if Ratcliffe did the same we are screwed
Yeah but INEOS has said they are prepared to part invest, whereas Qatar want all or nothing.
I don’t doubt the Glazers are pissing everybody off but I think Jassim is more likely to walk and Jim will stick around and pick up whatever scraps are on offer.
I’d love them to bankrupt themselves with their own stupidity and greed, but sadly they would take United down with them in the process.
Interesting to see that our govt actually lobbied the PL to accept the Saudi bid for Newcastle, I'm not sure which horse they would be backing in the race for Man United though
SJR is a Tory donor and massive Brexiteer but HBJ (Jassim's father) also likely to have high level governmental connections from his past investments into the UK

Aim to invest 30b. I'm sure Qatar will aim to 'invest' a similar amount and all. This will please the government, I'm sure.
Very small time behaviour this
I don’t get it?
It's a skill some of the posters in this thread have down to a tee.
The guy is draped in a Qatar flag.
Don't get what?, why I think it's small time?
Shall I expand its the same as those Newcastle lads who dress the same way as Sheikh's and who carry Saudi flags it's all very cheap and small time and a bit begging like, bootlicking behaviour imo

Seems Boris and his cronies already sold off football's soul to the highest bidder
Yep…spot on. Partial sale news is purely window dressing to try and create leverage.
Still weird and small time if he isn’t Qatari
Ugh, I fecking hope United fans have more sense than to do that type of cringy shit if we are bought by Qatar. City fans do it too, fecking embarrassing themselves dressing like knobs with tea towels wrapped round their heads.
Yeah grown men who should know better. Let's be honest it's just embarrassing.
Look at this feckwit.
So judgement
No no; I literally was asking what was going on in the photo, hence “I don’t get it”.
Not a massive fan of Tifo, but this is a pretty good overview of Elliot Management:
AC Milan & Elliott Management's "Vulture Fund" - YouTube
Seem like a noble and upstanding bunch of fellows.

Nah the Newcastle/City fans dressing up like Sheikhs look like utter feckwits. Completely fair game to say as much.
