If the Glazers don't sell now, they won't ever get $6 billion and you can quote me on that

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?

United aren't even a British company anymore, it was transfered to some island tax haven so when the bastards do sell they won't even pay tax on their billions
Some truly shitty source tweets being posted
That’s nice Kaveh, but the first round bids were ‘world record’ so it’s not that big a deal!!
Glazers need to feck off. £5b+ is more than enough given how much investment is required on and off the pitch.
Wouldn’t put it past those greedy bastards to reject an offer of £5B simply because they wanted £6B. Surely even they know they’ll never get better than that. Time to feck off once and for all.
The prospect of the Glazers getting ridiculously greedy and not selling is quite scary. They won’t invest in capital investment and any loan will be both high interest and loaded into the club
Like somebody taking out a 4th mortgage on a house, then asking people to buy it for 100x times it's worth. These lizards need to leave.
Fletcher isn't really involved with the planning and his role from what's been reported is one where he's involved with the youth side of the club.
The planning is going to involve John Murtough, Erik ten Hag, Andy O'Boyle (deputy DoF) the two heads of scouting Mayorga and Wells, the video analysis team led by Mick Court and the data science lead, Dominic Jordan. And we've also reported to have brought in Matt Hargreaves to lead on negotiations.
But the vehicle will only move, once there's clarity one way or the other. That might give rival clubs a head start on potential targets.
No just not blinded by fear of change, and we wouldn’t be losing successful people so don’t see any concern.
There’s no way they accept either. We aren’t that lucky. This will go for another round at least.

i.e. the Qatari state find’s it funny that Sir Jim Ratcliffe thinks he can outbid him for the purchase of Manchester United.
It's quite strange how some of the non-football staff have bigger fanbases on here than the actual players.
We're happy to discard players who do not perform, what's the problem with doing likewise with crap executives. Never seen the point of the obsession.
I hope you’re right
I think Raine would love another serious bidder to come in
If they have WWE next on their hit list, they should get Vince McMahon to make a bid in return
Are just any sources and tweets being posted in this thread? 
Surely the Glazers will sell, having gone to all this trouble….? They’ll get stung for fees from Raine plus have to pay penalties to prospective bidders (right?) and I imagine that’s a no go to tight as feck billionaires who love fleecing assets. We’re getting sold no matter what I reckon.
Id like to think this is made up, and the sheikh isn’t a classless smug prick.
You’re a glass half empty guy aren’t you?!
Stop posting tweets from terrible sources. Known journos only please.
When in doubt, refer to the Journo Tiers in the transfer forum.

feck me is that the most childish tweet yet?
No news then…
Stick around…don’t let the cadre of Qatar cheerleaders put you off!
I reckon they wont sell...
Well, they have to. The financial situation is just too broken to fix if they continue to hold.
Is he laughing out loud about it? Or even rolling on the floor laughing?
To employ a group to sell your asset, have multiple rounds of bidding, force people to come to Manchester for hours or discussions and bring along their best people to negotiate with you also, to then not sell because “nah, changed my mind mate” is terrible, terrible business and would kill any credibility they had when they eventually came around to selling.
I can envisage a scenario where they opt for minority investment but they wouldn’t have encouraged these guys to make 2 bids and waste everyone’s time if they were genuinely leaning that way.
You'd think Sheikh jassim and his team will have learnt something from the mistakes made by their counterparts at PSG. And also learnt something from Man City who kept Garry Cooke at the club for stability purposes which resulted in Brian Marwood developing their football structure to a very high level.
A DoF imo should be judged on the direction he leads a club towards from a playing perspective. The best DoF for Man Utd is one who will make decisions with a view to developing a team that wants to play proactive attacking football. So you bring in the head coach, the heads of scouting and a data science team that will work collaboratively to make that a possibility.
But unfortunately many fans can't see beyond the transfer window and hype people up based on how quickly they can sign players and not how those players fit into the way the head coach wants to implement his play style. Paratici at Spurs is a classic example of a DoF who has now brought in both Nuno and Conte and signed players that don't really suit the style of Conte. Campos at PSG has also made mistakes where he's being criticised for who he selected as head coach and the players he bought.
And even if a prospective new owner removed John Murtough, it wouldn't really be a big deal because he's (Murtough) already created a structure with the missing pieces that need adding to.
I am sure they will.
If both of these bids are that close and still off of what the Glazers want I fully expect a third round. Tiresome.
Some of the tweets being posted in here, f*ck me.
There is more chance of signing Frenkie de Jong than there is of the Glazers staying. This is the end game.
Put it in a tweet and post it here. Since we're on a roll and all...
This is going to run. At least another month of this will they/won’t they with another round of bidding thrown in for the lols I reckon. Tedious.
