Most of the actual legwork is done by intermediaries though - lawyers, bankers, consultants, etc. Even in the busiest periods of the deal, I can't imagine it's something that takes a lot of time out of the Glazers' schedules.
Club Sale | It’s done!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

When buying or selling a house, even after a price have been agreed by both parties everyone still has to wait about 12 weeks for a solicitor to be bothered to print out a standard template letter before anyone can move in anywhere
so trueSo what’s the latest update?
Weren’t all the legalities meant to be done during the due diligence period which passed a couple of weeks ago?
So it’s all “Brighton chances” and “Steele saves”
Looking for the matchday thread?
Sky do have a camera in the Brighton dressing room. feckS SAKE
oh FFS.
I noticed that, how weird!
@Berbaclass has lost the plot.
Come on now you Yank feckers, feck off and give us a bit of good news!
New owners can't come quick enough as far as Im concerned. I don't care who they are, United have been rotten at the core for years.
We need to start afresh and bring the club back to where it should be.

And this game is why I'm desperate for Sheikh Jassim to buy us
Imagine if we could bring strong subs off the bench... Rather than a failed Burnley loanee

That isn’t exclusive to the Qatar bid…
We really need this sorted so that next season doesn't get screwed due to lack of summer activity owing to lack of clarity. JR or SJ, don't care who comes in as long as our debt is cleared, funds made available and better decision makers are put in charge of the footballing side. Spunking 90 mil on Antony was a shambolic business and just goes to show we have a long long way to go before we can get back to where we are.
No to Qatar banner in our away end tonight.
Interesting.
Was speaking to a lawyer from INEOS today at a family event.
They believe they have it in the bag.
Deals been worked on the last 18 months.
Also fourth round is not out of the question.
That’s literally all he said.

Seriously?
Regardless of who buys us, even if they make funds available immediately and our transfer window isn't disrupted, we're still going to be heavily constrained by FFP this summer. The abysmal business we've done over the years (in and out) is finally coming home to roost.
I'm guessing by being worked on the last 18 months, they've worked out what they'd bid at the 2nd and 3rd round of bidding?
I have some news for you...
Are you serious with all this or taking the p*ss? xD
Please do not believe Mick Ruby on Twitter
If an Ineos lawyer said that, my guess is that he means that Ratcliffe has been talking to the Glazers about selling for 18 months. It would fit with what he said when he bid for Chelsea, that he was bidding because United wasn't for sale (implying he had inquired, as opposed to just not seeing it listed on Ebay). And then his comments a few months later (I think), that said something about how he would be interested if the Glazers decided to sell.
Yes I know. TrebleChamp99 on Redcafe is a much more legitimate source
How can they have it in the bag and still a fourth round not being out of the question?
That was my next question
What 4th round?
Did you not read the whole post and just got excited after reading the first part?
What post?
This has turned into one of those daft transfer threads where people think they're being witty by pretending they genuinely know something. Come on folks, engage your brains. No one on here knows anything about what's going on
The one you replied to here. The guy says he met an Ineos lawyer who claims it's in the bag, at the same time a fourth round is not out of the question. How can that be true unless he means the fourth round is the exclusivity period?
He also said it was a family gathering, so if he was any kind of supporter worth his salt he’d have been in touch long before now for news - especially a family member. @TrebleChamp99 knows nothing….
I do.
Im not lying or pretending. This is legitimately a coincidence he told me he works at INEOS as a commercial lawyer.
He said they pretty much have it done as they have overvalued each share and ultimately can continue to do so to get the club.
He went on to say he’s been working on it with the team for 18 months (bid/deal) and that they think Glazers will just keep on going and a 4th round is possible.
I asked about Jassim and he said he knew nothing about him and no one does.

First time I’ve met him and got speaking about football as our game was on.
@Berbaclass More than 24 hours have passed now, where are the news that Qatar has entered the exclusivity period?
The guy on Twitter said it will be yesterday evening or within 24 hours.

Tomorrow would be an ideal time to get a positive update on this.
