But as I say, because Sheikh Jassim wants to buy 100% of the club,the Glazers would get their money from the B shares and the A class shares. So, that is why his offer overall is more.

That's understandable. Different people will have different priorities. I've never told City or Newcastle fans (can't say I meet PSG ones) they should've walked away, I ain't gonna start with our lot.
My bet would be on Soros, mainly because it's the only one that I know has a large amount of shares.
Decided to give myself a rest from the CAF for a few hours,been watching Test Championship Final and my county lose in the blast tonight too.
I don't get it, what are they actually saying in this ? that they want SJR to buy their shares also ?
Yes. Obviously. Or they want the Glazers to take the Qatari offer.
Christ when they win tomorrow night the media wankfest for next few days will be awful. You will be given the impression that this is the first time "The Treble" has happened
So Jassim is his own man, and the Qatari state is neither able or willing to control him. Interesting.
So it's a personal bid but he's not personally involved in the process but a member of the Qatari state has been mooted as a middle man and the rest of the league doubt the money isn't from the state
Nothing dodgy about that, no siree
Nothing dodgy about that, no siree
So basically the Glazers were hoping for a big payday from Qatar, they didn't get it because Jassim is a bit of a chancer and keeps low-balling them, so they'll have to sell to Brexit Jim for a measly sum. They'll be more gutted than we are.
Lots walked from our fanbase when the Glazers bought us, did you enjoy the fans walking from the club they loved?
The toxic binary nature of this whole thing is surreal.
The idea a nation state enters the free market and buys up parts of another country's heritage is a new departure.
I think it's quite sad that other fans would think holding these concerns is enough to want rid of fellow fans.
I promise you, if it doesn’t I’ll delete this Tweet.
what i think they are getting at is that the directors of the club (glazers) have a responsibility to all shareholders and seem to be favouring a deal that only suits them personally
I don't think this is the case. Nobody is reporting this either.
INEOS latest offer still valued the club at a slightly higher valuation. So had Jim gone for 100% of the club it would be go for more than the Qatar off essentially.
The only benefit to going with Qatar as things stand is they get their money out now.
It’s because they’re not being given the chance to sell their shares if they choose Ratcliffe. Because there’s an offer on the table for A class shares too (Jassim), they feel they should have the opportunity to sell at the massively inflated rate should they wish or at least have a say on it it seems as shareholders.
I think SJ eventually will be like feck it & give them £6bn
It's worth investigating but hard to say what Raine and the Glazer's would come back with. They are shareholders, too, and in a capacity that far outweighs most directors and officers in other publicly traded companies.
I wonder if they might try something sneaky like putting it to a shareholder vote? Obviously just a guess and no idea if that would fly under the IPO guidelines that were mentioned earlier.
There are some missing steps. He hired McFarlanes to negotiate on his behalf, he talked to Al Khelaifi about the Glazers valuation, the Glazers contacted Al Khelaifi to convince him to accept their request and he didn't accept it..
And yet anybody that sticks to their principles on this has an "extreme view" apparently. Fecking laughable.
Another final bid?
correct and those missing steps are being ignored in the press and wider conversation that this Ornstein story today proves its a state backed bid.
Neither bidders are chancers and neither of them low balled the Glazers. The reported fee demanded by the Glazers is huge, 8 billions dollars.
Pretty much how I see it as well
Yep, I did smile at the use of extremists in the context of not wanting a religious dictatorship to buy a heirloom sporting and cultural asset.
Yeah lose this and you will embarass our nation or words to that effect anyway
The story says two things QSI are aware of the bidding process, Jassim is the bidder not QSI. Also the Glazers want the backing of QSI.
I do wonder if this hedgefund legal case will cause some genuine issue for SJR. I wonder if he'll just switch strategy and go for a 100% buyout?
I am fine with Qatar buying United but, have no clue how anyone believes that.
He’s gonna have come with money upfront.
get and agree with your first two points but not sure why Glazers would want the backing as that could run foul of premier league approval?
Christ Rood, you calling anybody an extremist in this discussion is beyond ironic. Have you posted anything that hasn't been PR for Qatar in the last 8 months?
I've said it for a while. If the Ineos bid was truly in the lead, they'd be further down the road than they are. The Glazers do want to sell to Qatar, sorry Jassim, but want more money. If these reports that they've asked the PSG geezer to help increase the bid then it backs up what I've thought.
Well, you don't have to ask yourself that question, the report states that it is the Glazers that contacted Al Khelaifi to help them.
agree with this.Also the fact that Jassim has said he has £1bn for investment has alerted the glazers to the fact he has more cash. They want their share of our future investment.
What hasn't been reported?
helping is different to QSI backing.
Helping and backing are synomyms.
