Slightly less absurd than the sale
Club Sale | It’s done!
- Thread starter JB08
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Things had gone silent. It’s either the clam before the official announcement or the fecking leeches complicating things.
I just need to see Jassim announced before the transfer window shuts. But at this rate…

Two things I’d never eat
Anyway, I hope your right, this really hasn’t gone the way anyone would after the November announcements, even talk of a new financing from banks/hedge funds has disappeared.
we’ll end the transfer window with the Glazers still stuck here.
I literally gave up from this.
They don't think it be like it is but it do.
We're getting to the bottom of this!
Time to temporarily close until something significant is reported?
They might just have realised what a can of worms they opened by publicly going out with the begging bowl for new investment. If they say they have not been able to find a suitable source of funds that meets their requirements, it invites the obvious question of ‘why don’t you invest some of your own money then, rather than just take it out of the club’. I really think they are in a bind now, and genuinely don’t know what to do - despite the advice they are being given by professionals. Minority investment really doesn’t work for them because of the strings that will be attached. The full sale bids don’t meet their over-inflated self valuation of the club, so at least one of them isn’t happy with that. Half expect them to try and put some damage limitation spin on this at some point, and if they do the 6 non-Glazer Directors should hang their heads in shame. Glazer’s staying will mean OT gets a lick of paint and some sticking plasters on the roof.Two things I’d never eat

Why? No one is forced to come in here. If you only want relevant updates then there is a sale tweet thread.
Piss off
its
Starting to feel like this is all a figment of our imagination. The last few days have looked particularly pitiful when coming into this thread. Even the most dedicated of muppets haven't even tried to keep the thread alive .. we're going out with a whimper 
used to check for updates all the time but have given up now
I thought the summer window would be some sort of deadline for them selling the club but its already pretty much past that point so I can see the Glazers dragging this on for many more months to come
can't believe at the start the media were saying by easter

I read the bidders have to put a deposit when when bidding in the final round. Is that true?
yes and the Glazers get to keep both deposits no matter what choice they make
They ain't selling
Bidding is expensive. The Glazers aren't going to enhance their reputation amongst their peers if they suddenly announce no sale.
And let's not pretend they don't have a good reputation because we think commerce judge them on fact they bought Obertan with the Ronaldo money or some other myopic footballing issue the business community couldn't give a feck about.

Then we’ve got a mega problem, as they aren’t putting any money in.
They really need to get some bad press in the USA about their shambolic ‘management’ of the club. Won’t happen though as the American press is soft. Only bad press they get is here, UK, but they won’t give a toss about that as they are hardly ever here. Some might not even have a passport.
What I read its 1-5%, that can be hundreds of millions, how are they allowed to do that?
Where are the United fans in Tampa?
Numb - Linkin Park
I keep seeing people say stuff like "Why aren't fans protesting at the stadium!? If I were in England I'd be there!". Great, spoil the megastore staff's quiet Monday morning.
More importantly, why has no one accosted this lot in Tampa yet?
They'll probably face public execution if they did by that Nazi-wannabe of a governor they have.
The quiet is a good thing.
Given they've recently approved using nuclear waste in building roads and that's not even the worst thing they've voted in, not sure why my slight exaggeration is so crazy to you.
I'm looking forward to being told the first time.
True and the deposit is 90%
Considering implementing new innovative highway construction technologies is the road to full blown Nazism.
Hitler immediately started construction of the innovative Autobahn when he took power.
The parallels are obvious when you think about it.
Calm before the storm. Big day tomorrow.
It's fairly simple. B shares have 10 times the voting power of A shares so you only need 10% of the total shares to be B shares so retain control.
However this is more likely a protective measure. From themselves and people like their dad trying to force a takeover. Say they split and some sell without agreement from the others, it allows them to retain control and acts to discourage a buyer going this route.
All of the terms can be changed by a vote subject to negotiation between the parties involved.
Even Nick Speed seems to have given up (Assuming because no one has posted his tweets recently)
Yeh this is my take. I have no doubt it's something their dad taught them to do as well seeing as he was a ln expert in hostile takeovers so would know the best way to prevent them.
Probably to busy throwing gators at Wendy's or trying to time travel back to better days by crashing into a mall.
Usual Florida stuff.
