Banter aside I do hope you get rid of the parasite Glaziers but this dude has the air of a bluffer to me. The way he tried to buy Chelsea was so unprofessional.
It's been suggested he never actually wanted to buy Chelsea but that the last minute bid for Chelsea was an indirect message being sent to The Glazers that he's ready and willing to buy them outBanter aside I do hope you get rid of the parasite Glaziers but this dude has the air of a bluffer to me.

That seems an utterly insane way to send that message. What if his bid was accepted? Putting the bid together would've also cost time and money.It's been suggested he never actually wanted to buy Chelsea but that the last minute bid for Chelsea was an indirect message being sent to The Glazers that he's ready and willing to buy them out
I hope whomever suggested that wasn't serious. That's just beside all the legal troubles that you can bring on yourself with using sham bids at such an advanced stage. It's not exactly the same as bargaining at their local fish market. I don't think he'd go about sending that message like that .It's been suggested he never actually wanted to buy Chelsea but that the last minute bid for Chelsea was an indirect message being sent to The Glazers that he's ready and willing to buy them out
Glad I'm not the only who thinks that line of thought is rubbishThat seems an utterly insane way to send that message. What if his bid was accepted? Putting the bid together would've also cost time and money.
A simple text "yo Joel, let's talk" would've been more effective.
Or he had to clear his credit card bill that month before he could submit his bidIt's been suggested he never actually wanted to buy Chelsea but that the last minute bid for Chelsea was an indirect message being sent to The Glazers that he's ready and willing to buy them out
Jordan talks some shit and every time he’s wrong and gets called out on it he starts babbling on about contextually for 10 minutes
Jordon thinks it will be very very very surprising that the club will be sold in 4 months time.
Maybe his Chelsea season ticket was also some kind of signal to the glazersOr he had to clear his credit card bill that month before he could submit his bid
I think some people underestimate just how much £1billion is.I love how people are saying we need owners with over 100 billion rather than just 60 odd billion
Billion is the new million.I think some people underestimate just how much £1billion is.
Yeah it is. If you want to buy something you can just tell the person who owns it you want to buy it. Pretty much a flawless strategy right there.That seems an utterly insane way to send that message. What if his bid was accepted? Putting the bid together would've also cost time and money.

He also stridently ( default setting for Jordan ) predicted that the Saudi's wouldn't, under any circumstances, take over at Newcastle.

Yep, he also loves to have his name in the media. I am wary of his seriousness.Banter aside I do hope you get rid of the parasite Glaziers but this dude has the air of a bluffer to me. The way he tried to buy Chelsea was so unprofessional.
Maybe we could rework the PL into one huge Royal Rumble match (or at least make the City and Liverpool matches "hell in a cell")
I'd pay good money to see both of these scenariosWar games, each team starts with 1 player in the field, every 5 minutes one team or the other gets to add another player. It could work!
Journalistic shit stirringWhat's with the Bezos talk?
Talks a load of shite generally because it's effectively his job to cause controversyJordan talks some shit and every time he’s wrong and gets called out on it he starts babbling on about contextually for 10 minutes
I think it can be interesting to hearing industry people discuss a transaction like this that does not concern them -- but for any projection of them to have any accuracy, they need to have or obtain information about the conditions for each potential party. To put it like this, if you don't have that, its like being asked if a player would be a good fit for a specific team, but you don't know who is coaching that team, which league they are playing in, what other players they have, what style they are playing, the club's financial status, who else is available, and at what cost, and so forth.He also stridently ( default setting for Jordan ) predicted that the Saudi's wouldn't, under any circumstances, take over at Newcastle.
And yet Mcdonald's spent $ 650 million in 2020 and $460milllion in 2021 globally on advertising.That is unless someone like Bezos or a company like Apple are part of that American buyer list, although I don’t know what Apple stands to gain from owning United hypothetically. They dont need global exposure like I imagine INEOS are looking at it. Your average person has probably not heard of INEOS but they know who Apple are.
Yep. Apple's big strength is how it portrays itself as a lifestyle brand, rather than about their products selling themselves for what they are.And yet Mcdonald's spent $ 650 million in 2020 and $460milllion in 2021 globally on advertising.
Fyi. Apple spent $ 3.7 billion in 2021. Do you wonder why you know who Apple is?
You are assuming that "the ME lot" are nation states, even though it has been reported that nation states (or their investment vehicles) are unlikely to be in the running, in part because the only states that are interested in owning football clubs, have already acquired them.I’m curious about hearing from Times(?) that they think the main competition to the INEOS/Ratcliffe interest is an American buyer. You’d have thought that if one of the Middle Eastern lot wanted to seriously go for it, then they can blow any American interest out the water, because the Americans do want to treat it like a business whilst the Middle Easterners treat as a vanity project and don’t give a crap about revenue.

"But at this time Sixth Street is not looking to buy Manchester United and is not in any active discussions to do so". Doesn't sound like ruling out buying a stake? Just states they aren't looking to buy the club as a whole.Debunked already on previous pages.
OK just ignore the last three pages of discussion about it then."But at this time Sixth Street is not looking to buy Manchester United and is not in any active discussions to do so". Doesn't sound like ruling out buying a stake? Just states they aren't looking to buy the club as a whole.
The Glazers are inviting bids from parties only interested in acquiring a minority share of United (along with those who want to buy the whole club). Either outcome is possible, but it does not sound like Sixth Street are really in the running in either case."But at this time Sixth Street is not looking to buy Manchester United and is not in any active discussions to do so". Doesn't sound like ruling out buying a stake? Just states they aren't looking to buy the club as a whole.
It won't. There would be a massive backlash from the fans. Not worth it.Who in their right mind would invest in the club with the Glazer family remaining on in some ownership capacity. It is a terrible investment. It won't happen.
I hear ya, but I’m getting the bloody fear, the thought that they could still be here after feeling so positive that they were leaving doesn’t bare thinking about.Who in their right mind would invest in the club with the Glazer family remaining on in some ownership capacity. It is a terrible investment. It won't happen.
Pretty much all of it to be fair.Tell me exactly what i said wrong.
Give us a Ratcliffe like tweet today we need itFull sale it will be - I don’t think it makes a great deal of sense for the Glazers or a minority owner
It was never not news that they also explored partial sale. Think it was literally the thread title at some point. They are being forced out by their brokeness not because they really want to. Even their asking price seems like they are mad about it.Tweet
