This is the news that’ll keep this page ticking along. Doubt we hear anything for another few weeks again, followed by some improved confidence!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Just waiting for that sixth round of bidding now
When I think of Bloomberg I think of Cartoon Network. I swear the Sky channels used to be close to each other back in the day.
Make of that what you will.
Make of that what you will.
First time any bidder has been confident they have won rather than winning.
The fact it’s a reputable source too.
What? No...
The new rules from this year look at the gap between revenue generated and debt owed for old transfers as well as wages. So, yes, it does matter.
This forum is OBSESSED with PR
To be fair, we are part of the "P" in PR.
Stock market closes 30 mins after AGM starts... interesting...
Already destroyed if you know world news.
Did British media already call BS on this? Or was that sharp reaction reserved only for the Reuters news.
Qatarrington
Oh great. We're becoming Manchester City II now.
This is just tiresome SJR should just walk away and let the Qatari bid win if he’s a fan like he claim
Well played.
Is this the latest storm before the calm?
Reuters and Bloomberg are both very solid. Only source more reliable than them is Chilevision, but they have not reported on this takeover for some reason.
Well, not really, considering we already have actual fans.
I understand that, but I'm guessing buyers of shares wouldn't be interested in long term guidance given the impending sale after which the company would presumably be taken private. Therefore, any fluctuations in the stock price going forward are almost exclusively going to be driven by perceptions of who is going to buy the club (if Qatar it goes up dramatically, if INEOS it probably goes back down into the teens).
Let's just agree it was a daft statement by you and move on. Unless you have been living under a rock then you are well aware of the reasons for not supporting the Qatari bid.
The only time I generally believe a source is when they write it onto a player's football.
Scale of 1-10 how confident are you that you are not in fact thinking of the kids Sky TV channel 'Boomerang'?
Love it when a thread comes alive with some good news 
I first read that as Chucklevision
The way this sale process has gone, it honestly wouldn't shock me.
Oilintons
The guys who wrote the bloomberg article are just the floor below mine. Might give them a visit
Meh.
We’ve been here before lads, many times.
Until / Unless a proper announce is made all focus should remain upon the Glazers’ releasing funds and supporting ETH.
They own the club and should be running it - DON’T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK.

Where did I mention Jim?
Why can't people be critical of both? When did we all become so easily won over?
Sounds ominousThe guys who wrote the bloomberg article are just the floor below mine. Might give them a visit
You will need lot of "sponsors" for that.
Please do! Journalists are famously loose about revealing sources so it’s definitely worth it!The guys who wrote the bloomberg article are just the floor below mine. Might give them a visit
I mean there's no point really. They are journalists worth their salt so they wouldn't say much anyway.
It feels like this point has been talked to death enough times over the past 7 months that anyone who still does not see the distinction never will.
Manchester City were nothing until oil money. That defines who they are. Man Utd are who we are regardless of our ownership, as the Glazer era has demonstrated. Our history and support is not rooted in our ownership. That's without even mentioning that wealthy Middle Eastern ownership does not have to mean fraud and FFP breaches, particularly if one were to compare the true revenues of 115 FC and MUFC.
This is the muppetiest of all muppet posts.
This is a joke right?
"Confident of winning" means nothing to me. Been hearing this type of message for months and nothing's happened. I'll believe it when it's announced and not before. Fully expecting we won't have heard any official new by this time next week. Hope I'm wrong but I don't think I am.
Take a fruit basket with you.The guys who wrote the bloomberg article are just the floor below mine. Might give them a visit
It’ll get downplayed soon. It’s how this works
Im fairly confident that’s exactly what I’m thinking of but until I see the news on Boomerang I am believing nothing.
