This needs to happen and happen fecking soon. We are honestly setting us up for an absolute shiteshow of a season at this rate, and can honestly see ETH not sticking around of there is literally zero support from the club.

There is no room for temporary sub-par fixes, we NEED a top class goalkeeper and striker, and we need midfield/CB depth.

Doesn't matter who comes next as an owner, this right now is the absolute worst case scenario.
 
If Bloomberg are reporting that Qatar are confident, then I would take it as read that Qatar are indeed confident - Bloomberg are not in the business of making things up.

Qatar's confidence could be misplaced of course, and Ineos may still be confident, too.

Either way, I think we can all agree that this just needs to end and end soon.

The AGM is in New York today as we’ll likely some gossip around town where Bloomberg might get sources from.

Qatar was always going to win since day 1 IMO, even at the WC there were murmurings of Qatari interest and the Glazers being there.
 
Jesus just leave already! You’ve already ruined the club in the most financially lucrative period in the games history. Selling for nearly 10 times the initial investment even though it wasn’t their own money and still they hang on for every million they can suck out. Sickening. They can’t even let us have this and move forward.

What has Jesus ever done to United?
 
If you're not state-ownership you are anti-United. Just say what you mean ffs.

Don't put words in my mouth, especially when they're nonsense. You can be against state ownership and against the INEOS bid at the same time.

How are people so thick? The world doesn't operate in black and white, binary A and B. Sigh it's so tiresome.
 
The Ineos bid was just more debt supported with the non-reassuring reassurance of "we don't know he isn't going to not expect us to pay any of that debt back"

For all Jim’s money it was a shockingly poor bid and package. He’s nothing more than the Glazers 2.0.

He shot himself in the foot at every single stage. He went from the potential saviour to an honorary Glazer brother. What a disappointment.

Didn't matter how much money he has, he wasn't willing to spend a penny of it.

Never rated him due to Nice and the bid for Chelsea honestly.

He's very frugal and wouldnt make us competitive

Even the PR has been appalling. It's been a slipshod bid from the word go, all ifs, buts and maybes. Amazed he's not destitute if this is how he does business.
 
I hope we hear a formal announcement, not necessary a completion of deal, within the next 48 hours to back this all up.
 
Just want to point out that anybody claiming anything regarding the £260m transfer money available is talking absolute twaddle.

It has nothing to do with who or what is taking over the club, Bloomsberg are just repeating the news from the third quarter report yesterday that whilst the takeover is happening we have £260m of the credit line available.
 
Which time is it that they are "confident"? Sixth? Tenth? INEOS have also been confident on many occasions.
 
We are only partially restricted due to FFP. Sales, extra £50m from paying off debt, we can use our credit facility (which the Glazers have been blocking).

FFP is based on total revenue, not profit. So paying off debt or not having interest payments won't make a difference.

The only way to increase this is to increase revenue (new sponsorship deal for example), or sell players.
 
Any chance it gets announced at the AGM?

From https://www.omm.com/resources/alert...erial-news-by-listed-companies/?sc_lang=zh-CN:

The current version of Section 202.06 requires listed companies to provide notice to the NYSE ten minutes in advance of the release of material news, if the information is scheduled to be released during market hours (between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) or “shortly before” the opening of trading on the exchange (between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Eastern time). The amendments extend the pre-market hours during which companies must give notice to the NYSE before announcing material news by requiring listed companies to notify the NYSE of any announcements made at or after 7:00 a.m. Eastern time. Accordingly, pursuant to the amendments, NYSE-listed companies will be required to notify the NYSE at least ten minutes before the release of any material news between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time
