Just glad it’s over. Still feel aggrieved if it props the Glazers up with no long term route to removing them
The ‘this will lead to full ownership’ has always been fan talk to prop up what is quite frankly a shambolic extension to Glazer rule.

SjR will have what he wants as will the Glazers.

I've been anti-Jim throughout but I must give him a chance

I am very interested to see his statement and long term plan for the club. There's so much to know about this deal.

Delayed for weeks. Honestly feck this shit.

Basically means no roadmap to a full takeover. Never made sense anyway, someone could come with a bigger offer than the agreed deal and the minority shareholders would miss out and we’re back to square one

We would need to pay Chelsea compensation for Potter. No way we do that for an interim. If he comes, it would be as our next permanent manager.
Oo I didn't know that. Why is that? They didn't pay him off to cancel the contract?

Hoping when the stock market reopens there is an initial sore in stock price. Would make for a nice Christmas present for myself since I've got a few k to cash out if it goes up.

“I very much believe in what the greatest football man in history once said, ‘Stand by your manager’…”

Cue Samaritans having their worst Christmas on record…

Fairytale of Ten Hag

It was Christmas Eve Jim,
Down at Carrington,
Murtagh says to me, we won’t see another one.

And then he sang a song,
You’re getting sacked tomorrow,
I turned my face away, and dreamed of the Eredivise..

Got on a lucky one,
Lost by two goals to one,
I’ve got a feeling, this year we’ll be top four,
So happy Christmas,
I love you Jimmy
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true..

They've got pace, they've got Sheikhs, dodgy rivers I'm told,
And the teams pass right through, it's no place for the old,
When you first came along to the Premier League,
You promised me glory was waiting for me.

You were handsome, you were pretty
King of Amsterdam City
When de Jong finished playing they’d be howling for more,
Fletcher was grinning and Murtough was singing
Arnold watched on from his local bar..

The boys of the New York Stock Exchange are chasing a payday,

And the bells are ringing out for the close of trade.

The boys in the MUFC squad are downing tools again,

And the fans keep turning up,
For groundhog day..
:lol:

I firmly believe glazers had no interest in selling unless they got a really extravagant offerz

It’s not as quick as we want but if it’s the beginning of the end of glazers and actually have some football pyramids correctly set up could have been best we could have hoped for

Hooray! The Glazers get their Christmas money after all. That's about as much as I expect this 'takeover' to achieve. A huge sum of money for the Glazers to roll around in, and nothing to invest in the club as usual.

Hopefully there’s truth to the updated structure, maybe with a new head coach too.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
It's Christmas Eve, there will be club employees worried about their job when they should be celebrating the festive period with their family and friends. He's right, no functional company announces this now.
Club employees will have been worried about their jobs for months. It has been happening ‘this week’ for 7 weeks.

I think yesterday was the worst I have felt about United through all the tripe. I need this today. Please let this happen.
At least the Ravens are going good (assuming you follow the NFL, if not then yeah, it a pretty grim time for you on the sporting front! :lol:)

Still doesn't excuse it. This takeover has been another shambolic undertaking from the Glazers, but hopefully their last with Man Utd.

And they wouldn't actually make any decisions til the new year even if they took control right away, but it'll take another 6 weeks or so for the league to ratify it based on everything I've read?

Yeah exactly. Nothing will actually happen for 4-6 weeks at the earliest anyway and presumably there will be a full audit too before changes are made.

Honestly, the last few years have tanked Manchester United's reputation. Why would they sell low?
