Financial analyst (name?) did say on Stretford Paddock (I think) it it'd cost around £8b to buy United. This was around six months ago.

So the Chelsea rejects will now look to buy us. Hardly fills you with confidence when that muppet Todd Boehly was deemed the best of that bunch.Tweet

They struck oil in the 70s, formed a nation and then invested well it's a brilliant place honestly they have great infrastructure.I know absolutely nothing about U.A.E and particularly Dubai.
Are they just as bad as the rest of them?
Dubai for me just seemed like a random place that shot to fame about 15 years ago and seemed like a new business hub of the world
Woah is 6 more than 5
Man City?I know absolutely nothing about U.A.E and particularly Dubai.

Yes, just to add. Dubai is not an ‘oil country’ and we wouldn’t be an ‘oil club’. Dubai makes c. 1% of gdp from fossil fuels, most is from finance, tourism, construction etc. it would be like saying the UK is an ‘oil country’ for our few % of GDP we make from the North Sea.They struck oil in the 70s, formed a nation and then invested well it's a brilliant place honestly they have great infrastructure.
The nations only 50 years old though
Did Ratcliffe not want to buy Chelsea at the time?So the Chelsea rejects will now look to buy us. Hardly fills you with confidence when that muppet Todd Boehly was deemed the best of that bunch.
Dubai don't officially own Manchester City, it is someone from Dubai, so you would think another person from Dubai could buy United. Same with states who apparently don't own Newcastle and PSG either.Man City?
someone from Abu Dhabi not Dubai no? They are all part of the UAE but separate sovereign nations. Bit like Scotland, Wales etc. I thinkDubai don't officially own Manchester City, it is someone from Dubai, so you would think another person from Dubai could buy United.

Ratcliffe sounds like a nice chap, but isn't he actually... quite crap at actually running a football club?The main problem United have here, is that Glazers won’t care who they sell to as long as they get top dollar.
I couldn’t support an oil team so I hope it’s someone like Ratcliffe
I think Ratcliffe’s all talk. He offered to buy them for £4m after the deadline was set for potential buyers to make their offer. He would’ve known fine well they’d have no intention of accepting his “bid”.Did Ratcliffe not want to buy Chelsea at the time?
Ronaldo warned us against 'rats' maybe means RatcliffesRatcliffe sounds like a nice chap, but isn't he actually... quite crap at actually running a football club?

I realised I got the states muddles, but just saying you could get two owners from the same state. Imagine the Abu Dhabi Derby.someone from Abu Dhabi not Dubai no? They are all part of the UAE but separate sovereign nations. Bit like Scotland, Wales etc. I think

The financial analysts on the radio earlier said that they thought the deal would be worth £4b to 5b to the Glaziers, but it would be announced as £7b to £8b as the deal would take into account debts and any asset expenditure required such as near-term stadium workFinancial analyst (name?) did say on Stretford Paddock (I think) it it'd cost around £8b to buy United.

Yep, as @crossy1686 mentioned before recent earnings call, people were betting on the stock hitting a certain price by a certain date.What does that mean? Some investors already know/knew we're on the verge of a sale?
I posted earlier that a potential buyer is already known and due diligence has already been done. Just about dotting the i's and crossing the t's.
This is further along than we think. Considering Liverpool put the same news out a couple weeks ago, I've heard absolutely nothing about what FSG consider a good price or potential buyers. Less than a day after this news the Glazers are already consident of a price?Tweet

This is what worries meCan someone convince me that there isnt a scenario where we actually regret the Glazers going and somehow end up with even worse owners??
nope, nobody can do thatCan someone convince me that there isnt a scenario where we actually regret the Glazers going and somehow end up with even worse owners??
There isn't anyone who can guarantee that all we've waited 17 years for this moment now that it has come we have to risk the unknown now. Will we have better or worse owners time will tell.Can someone convince me that there isnt a scenario where we actually regret the Glazers going and somehow end up with even worse owners??
It's unlikely to happen as Man City is owned by the Abu Dhabi royal family. I can't see them allowing a competitor to emerge from the same emirate to buy United.I realised I got the states muddles, but just saying you could get two owners from the same state. Imagine the Abu Dhabi Derby.
Think it will be done by January tbh. How long did the Chelsea one take?It's going to feck up our transfer window isnt it. Can't see them agreeing to any sizable transfers whilst things are in motion.
It's been happening since the Summer. It's only just gone public as it's getting quite close now - hence the insider trading with the share price.This is further along than we think.

OK. I don't like City, but it would be nice if whoever buys us can develop the area for the local community as well.It's unlikely to happen as Man City is owned by the Abu Dhabi royal family. I can't see them allowing a competitor to emerge from the same emirate to buy United.
Other emirates in the UAE simply couldn't match the financial firepower of Man City's owners, basically every single one of City's sponsors is owned by them as well.
there's nothing in the rules about having two owners from the same state, they just can't be connected (eg run by the same people)It's unlikely to happen as Man City is owned by the Abu Dhabi royal family. I can't see them allowing a competitor to emerge from the same emirate to buy United.

Think it might mean would you want to go up against a very powerful royal family. It will be another buyer from a different country.there's nothing in the rules about having two owners from the same state, they just can't be connected (eg run by the same people)
even that rule got magically broken by the red bull situation with little blow-back
Imagine if they buy us as well and then they simply merge the two clubs into one big Manchester United.there's nothing in the rules about having two owners from the same state, they just can't be connected (eg run by the same people)

yeah I agree the chances of it happening are basically zeroThink it might mean would you want to go up against a very powerful royal family. It will be another buyer from a different country.
You wouldn't want your owner mysteriously disappearing.yeah I agree the chances of it happening are basically zero
