This always makes me chuckle. He's not a United fan because he had a Chelsea season ticket when living in London? Has it not occurred to anyone that his schedule and location makes it hard to be a season ticket holder at United?
He's probably been to plenty of games though over the years. More than a lot of people on here have been to as well.
We will be of other clubs are debt free and can spend freely without having to worry about debt service. Impossible to compete with city and Newcastle with a yoke around our necks.
So your position is you think there is zero benefits the Glazers can offer Utd in a reduced capacity of control?
We've spent as much as City have the last ten years under the parasites so this isn't true.
We can do this - it's been over a thousand pages of completely pointless circular nonsense but this is something we can win on - we will force them all to understand what greenwashing actually is!
As said this has nothing to do with Jassim but on SJR. The guy could have easily watched United if he wanted to and he could have easily proposed a far better bid. The guy has no loyalty to anything really. Which is why he moved to Monaco to avoid paying tax and he threatened to close his factory down if the UK agreed to stricter anti pollution rules. Isn't Failsworth in England?
Big caveat, we don’t know how much City have actually spent hence the investigation into their finances. What about the stadium? The training facilities? Academy? City have spent way more than us, looking at transfers alone isn’t enough, and that’s down to debt servicing and paying the leeches dividends.
They are only bidding for the Glazers 69% but the process is based on Enterprise value. They must place a valuation on the whole business which meets the Glazers valuation. The Glazers then receive that price per share for their 69%.
I have to agree.
He is a Utd fan.
Just in the interests of accuracy...!
You were trying to justify not having him because he doesn't go to games every week. The other guy has been to less games.
Digging a bigger hole. I guarantee you United fans would willingly choose to take ole back if it meant the glazers are out for good. You are completely misreading how much the glazers are hated. Every time something doesn’t go right for SJR the assumption will be that it’s because the glazers are still there. United need them gone so that we can move on. Not keeping leeches that have no interest other than how much they can make out of the club
Nothings changed. The bids are based on EV. The glazers own 69% so that is the proportion of the bid they receive.
I am simply saying that the guy can't be trusted. What he says is not what he does. You only have to see what was promised by INEOS to Lausanne and Nice and what actually happened. Once again Jassim has nothing to do with this argument
This point is irrelevant because neither bid has met the Glazer’s long stated £6bn demand, with the Qatari bid (according to the latest reports) placing less value on the Glazer’s shareholding than the INEOS bid.
He said he has conflicting loyalties. However his support is irrelevant. People can put their support on a side on matters of business
The real world. Especially if his bid is accepted for 51%. That’s only circa 3bn.
Having state owners does not equate to purposely skirting the rules to your benefit, although I appreciate the point.
The inconvenient truth.
GREENWASHING IN ACTION
If he did he’d no doubt have the green lobby on his case about all the carbon he’s emitting by travelling so much, enemy of the planet etc……
You are into denial. If Putin wanted to by buy the club - and a new stadion - I'm sure you would be all over the place pinning the resistance to Russia-phobia.
Keeping the Glazers involved will really annoy the fans but is probably what will see him selected as preferred bidder though.
Already did Spud. Worth noting also that well serviced debt is a normal beneficial aspect of business, is likely to be borne by INEOS not the club and is absolutely nothing to fear.
If Putin was to bid for the club now, you'd have people waving Russian flags and burning their Ukranian ones by half time today.
I love definitive stuff like this. What if he’s been told Avram and Joel won’t sell and keeping them on is the only way to get a controlling stake?
Which undermines your argument.
They will still be there whichever way you cut control
Another fallacy. We’ve already been doing it for 17 years.
If he can outvote them anyway will it make a difference?
