Every thread on here grafitates towards mayhem.Mayham, oh Lord
Jassim is using a PR firm that Premier League were using. They ended the agreement with the Premier League to assist with the takeover to remove any conflict of interest.Also, did I see a piece a while ago that Sheikh Jassim had hired Premier League lawyers to assist his bid? Or am I just making that up in my head?
Oh yes, he will visit the stadium so its all good.Tweet

Odd considering that the ultimate decision-makers are in FL. Raine will base their decision on the biggest commission. Not sure how a personal touch will help.Tweet

Dont know about the new FFP rules but I expect the United coffers to improve later in the season when they get their TV monies like most clubs do. In tranches.Any FFP experts care to explain how the takeover would affect the summer transfer kitty?
As I understand it United are currently skint with about 20-30 million to spend this summer, plus 130+ million payments due for past transfers.
Would a takeover wiping out the debt on the club mean United can spend a tonne this summer?

If he wins the bid, yes.
If Ratcliffe wins, they'll sell chemicals and hand sanitizer
If a US hedge fund wins, you'll just get kicked in the bollocks as you enter and they'll take your wallet while you're down
Hehehe pee pee.mopping the piss up
The Glazers playing a blinder here. Take him on the stadium tour and then end it in the gift shop, mentioning to him that he can get 10% discounts in the mega store if he buys the Premium Membership package. Easiest £50 they'll ever make.Oh yes, he will visit the stadium so its all good.
That was the year they sold Griezman to Barca for £120m,Atletico Madrid spent £120m on Felix
We will need it, especially when you expect the top 4 to become the Big 8 clubs of the PL in the next few years. I can see clubs like Spuds, Brighton, and Brentford being taken over too by Big Money.Everyday that passes it looks more and more likely that we will change hands to Qatari owners. A new era for the club, where money will be put into it for a change. At the very least, we will now have an infrastructure for the match going fan, of that I am sure.
A lot of people mention FFP, but with no debt and dividends we would potentially free up 100 million pounds a year. That alongside the likes of Maguire, Mctominay and even DDG/Henderson going mean that we could have a very strong hand in the market.
Next pledge is to watch most games live if on TVOh, wow, this guy is capable of getting on a plane and flying to Manchester, he's definitely the right choice as owner of the club, with qualifications like that
Not a very happy puppyTweet

I KNOW this means I would alienate a large chunk of our fanbase
What's romantic about alienating people?because of my romantic views of football
What conundrum? Unless you have 8-10billion quid to do all that, I am not sure the issue is.So IIRC the ideal owner should:
-Buy the club: ~5B
-Clear the debt: ~1B
-Remodel Old Trafford: ~1B
-Invest in the squad: ~150-200M/year?
What is your order of priorities as a United fan?
A) Get rid of the Glazers
B) Get rid of the debt
C) New Old(?) Trafford
D) A stronger team
From a business POV C and D look more important IMO, as it should allow cash flows to gradually do B. Thing is, that prevents A from happening, and the Glazers don't have the money to make C and D happening without getting into even worse debt. A real conundrum.
Let's get it done. Champions next season.Tweet

Full on Bank of America posse (Shabaz worked there for over 20 years). I thought bankers were the devil, but I doubt it will be perceived this way in this instance.Tweet
