They are hoping to do sport washing on a budget.That falls way short to what the ferrets are asking
I did a currency conversion just now 5.5B Euros comes in as $5.91B, close to what they want.That falls way short to what the ferrets are asking

My God people are so desperate to hate on the INEOS bid they are now calling out why all three owners were thereThere is a difference between Ratcliffe saying it directly to the journos and Jassim's PR company leaking things into the press.
Deniablity.
Also, I don't see Ratcliffe's purpose in doing this interview right after the very high-profile meeting last week. If anything Ratcliffe and his team should be busy getting down to crunching out numbers to make the deal work.
Besides the hi-vis meeting, it is odd that he brought his two other partners into the meeting last week -- it seems like he has to convenience them of the potential of the project.
At this stage of the process, when you need to give a first official firm bid, you need the domain knowledge folks (financial and legal) involved who can do the due diligence and analyse to eventually come out with a bid. Not the C-suite folks who aren't the number crunchers.
Thus the cynicism.
Its £6B they want, so its still far off.I did a currency conversion just now 5.5B Euros comes in as $5.91B, close to what they want.
Its $6blnIts £6B they want, so its still far off.
Really? Because most reports have repeatedly said it’s 6 billion pounds they’re looking for not dollars.Its $6bln
True it's abit off, but hopefully the Glazers will think this is the best offer we'll get and compromise. Wishful thinking but you never know.Its £6B they want, so its still far off.
ThisIts £6B they want, so its still far off.
According to sky is £6bIts $6bln
To be fair, it's been £6bn since the start according to shitty tabloids. But the broadsheets (Times, Guardian - not sure on Telegraph) seem to avoid mentioning any valuation at all. Basically like a transfer window where no one knows a fecking thing and it's all speculation.Its $6bln
Only around £4.5bn though.. well short.I did a currency conversion just now 5.5B Euros comes in as $5.91B, close to what they want.
Of course they want £6B. They’re not going to say “oh we would take anything, make us an offer.”Its £6B they want, so its still far off.
Really? Because most reports have repeatedly said it’s 6 billion pounds they’re looking for not dollars.
Its been completely bungled by the UK media and now they have thrown Euros into the mix to confuse things further.True it's abit off, but hopefully the Glazers will think this is the best offer we'll get and compromise. Wishful thinking but you never know.

Stop being infantile. Its nothing to do with 'hate' -- it's an operational issue.My God people are so desperate to hate on the INEOS bid they are now calling out why all three owners were there
Is it a British or American billion? An African or European swallow?To be fair, it's been £6bn since the start according to shitty tabloids. But the broadsheets (Times, Guardian - not sure on Telegraph) seem to avoid mentioning any valuation at all. Basically like a transfer window where no one knows a fecking thing and it's all speculation.
Probably think $6bn should do it, will come down to how it's structured and how greedy the Glazers are ('very' being merely a starting point).

Surely they can work on two deals at a time?Vince McMahon, WWE Retain The Raine Group to Oversee Potential Sale | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors | Bleacher Report
Which is rumoured to be at least double that of the United sale, it could be they would like to wrap on the United deal before focusing on this.
It’s because £€$$ I$ MOR€. Or because RUB£€$ are the all inclusive currency. Or because £€$ $€A£€Y:It always amuses me how the football media struggle to tell the difference between £, € and $
Sky don't know whether they need a shit or a haircut. And we expect them to know the difference between £$€¥According to sky is £6b
It won't be Jim & his partners doing the number crunching & legal due diligence esp in such a short turnaround. C-suite guys don't do that. Their team does that.They both have a significant financial interest in both INEOS and this deal. Of course they would be present.
Plus, who wouldn’t want a tour of OT and Carrington. They are football fans too.
You think Sir Jim summoned them at gun point?!
Yes, but INEOS is a private company so ultimately it’s their money on the line. I’d want to know what I was getting into before the deal personally - seeming so do the INEOS trio.It won't be Jim & his partners doing the number crunching & legal due diligence esp in such a short turnaround.

You have to assume he is a serious, smart guy. And not that its ''a private company'' and he can do whatever he wants with his money.Yes, but INEOS is a private company so ultimately it’s their money on the line.

It’s the three owners of a company all going to an an extremely high profile meeting regarding the possibility of acquiring one of the biggest sports brands in the World.Stop being infantile. Its nothing to do with 'hate' -- it's an operational issue.
see above.It’s the three owners of a company all going to an an extremely high profile meeting regarding the possibility of acquiring one of the biggest sports brands in the World.
But sure, you can find that strange if you like and pretend it has nothing to do with your negative bias to all thing INEOS.
I’ve seen it, it’s nonsense. Of course the 3 owners would all want to be present.see above.
How many deals have you worked in your career? Any with INEOS?Stop being infantile. Its nothing to do with 'hate' -- it's an operational issue.
I’d have to agree. It would be more strange to not want to be there. I imagine this whole process is quite exciting for them.I’ve seen it, it’s nonsense. Of course the 3 owners would all want to be present.
There’s nothing even remotely strange with those three all wanting to be heavily involved and at that meeting.
