So many people are convinced that we get battered on Saturday and the Qatar announcement comes at 8pm. I cant say I'd get my hopes up about one of those things happening.

What do the Glazers actually do after receiving these bids? They seem to take a month responding to them
Well, isn’t that a good thing for Qatar? If Jim was ahead wouldn’t they negotiate with Qatar and see if there was any more there?
Argue amongst themselves I’d imagine, that‘s probably why this whole thing is being dragged out.
As I understand it Jamie this is a nothing post
I deal with clients and if they aren’t interested they don’t get back to me
'Sorry, I thought I'd replied to this. Yeah, we're still mulling it over. Talk soon.

Of course he is. The last time the Glazers didn’t respond he upped his bid by 500m quid.
It really is just like succession
Sneijder or Giatan
episode.But Glazers will leave, there are no many options for them. They have reached the point of diminishing returns, they have squeezed enough juice from United and they know the juice is not worth the squeeze anymore
Fair enough, but that’s not competing at football, just a “who’s got the biggest dad” competition.
Which is why it becomes less interesting.
In my humble of course, other views are available
Sure, but like I said, that Pandora's Box is already open whether we like it or not. Short of new regulations to help level the playing field (which may or may not even be enforceable), there's not much we can do about it.
Leave them on read
But then she never does want to talk again because she doesn't want to be mean to you but she just doesn't like you so keep hoping she'll text again but she never does
The whole thing is just a complete shambles
Just out of curiosity, what would happen if there was a rule that said all companies over a certain size by market cap must be public companies?
She's just not that into you, Jass...
It honestly feels increasingly like they don’t even want to sell.
I think for them, having someone come in and pay for all the things they’re too pathetic to sort themselves - stadium, infrastructure, compete with other clubs, while still remaining attached to the club is what they want.
I mean their whole lives have revolved around someone else paying for everything they want - it’s natural that that’s what they gravitate toward.
They’ll need to be driven out of the club imo.
You have only just noticed that now?
This thread is so bad.
I take it they weren't blown away... ?
Nope, but every time I‘be popped in, it’s even worse than before.
"As I understand it", I know every day is a day off for these sort of journos, but just have a day off Jamie, and tell Miguel to do the same, it's embarrassing at this point.
ESPN sources understand that neither of them get days off when it comes to nonsense.
Someone confirm? Its Manchester United up for sale, so any bills associated with pulling the plug (i.e Raine group bills) is on United and not the Glazers, is that correct or am i miles off.
The Glazers' shares are for sale, they are the clients.
Why would the debt be passed on when Raine Group have a binding agreement with the Glazer family and not Man United?
A player we had agreed a fee for with his club was a ‘stupid thread’? Right.
Raine are advising the club. The Glazer family are being advised by Rothschild & Co. I'd assume that is how the fees will be allocated.
Some really bitter people in here upset that the likely outcome is SJR, it is what it is.
Hopefully it’s not one of the minority investment firms
Hopefully it’s not one of the minority investment firms
Raine are acting as financial advisors to Manchester United.
It’s not the devil but a devil. Big difference.
Also, give me Nice over Malaga any day off the week.
Yes, wasting our time agreeing a fee with his club before even ensuring he was interested in joining was remarkably stupid.
‘Remarkably stupid’. Absolute nonsense. You’re firstly a million miles from being qualified on determining what approaches are remarkably stupid anyway, but secondly - whether a player wants to leave or not, there is always a GOOD chance that player will leave if his club tell him they want to sell him. That didn’t happen in this instance, however, it’s never stupid to pursue a settled/happy player who is no longer wanted by his club. We have a few of those who will likely leave us in the next couple of months ourselves.
Whilst running the auction for the Glazer’s?
