Fallen Muppet. Lest we never forget
Uh oh
Do the smaller teams still get the proceeds of luxury tax if the big teams overspend? A lot are just happy to exist, no consequencies for failure as no relegation.Football clubs just don't make money period. American sports are rigged with salary caps and franchise models in order to make money for the owners.
This explains why it’s now either “Qatar or Minority”.Tweet

He may be good at crunching the numbers but I dont think he has an M&A background.Is Kieran Maguire still confident that it's done by the end of this month?
Bad news if true. Glazers/Raine need to give Qatar some competition to get the price as high as possible.Tweet

I stopped reading all the posts a little while back. I go to the last page whenever I log on and it pretty much sums up the mood.I think the best approach is to pop in here at the end of each day and see if there have been developments.
Otherwise some of you will be mentally shot by the time this is done. !
Nice, music to my ears. A better alternatives to the parasites, but the Qatar plan looks so much better for the future.
By all accounts, Qatar's fifth offer was the final offer. 'Accept it or reject it'.Bad news if true. Glazers/Raine need to give Qatar some competition to get the price as high as possible.
Therefore the minority bollocks is going to come roaring back for the next few months. I'd take Ineos any day over that shit
Why is it music to your ears?Nice, music to my ears. A better alternatives to the parasites, but the Qatar plan looks so much better for the future.
The luxury tax is re-distributed to the teams below the tax threshold. All of the proceeds of that go directly to the owners of the remaining franchises.Do the smaller teams still get the proceeds of luxury tax if the big teams overspend?

Every time I think of the Redskins, i think of Theismann's break.Their previous name was the Washington Redskins if that makes any difference, a very well known and successful team.
Do you think that'll stop the Glazers waiting and waiting for them to raise their offer?By all accounts, Qatar's fifth offer was the final offer. 'Accept it or reject it'.
If that’s true and Jassim has an ounce of sense then he should tell the Glazers to whistle for their 6 billion and make a revised, much lower, bid. Madness to play so much over the odds when the other bid is “dead in the water”.
If he does that they’ll simply go down the minority investment route. Not worth the risk at this stage .If that’s true and Jassim has an ounce of sense then he should tell the Glazers to whistle for their 6 billion and make a revised, much lower, bid. Madness to play so much over the odds when the other bid is “dead in the water”.
This could drag on and on…
It'll be something like "look, this is now your only offer, there's no-one else to bid against me, this is as good as it gets".If that’s true and Jassim has an ounce of sense then he should tell the Glazers to whistle for their 6 billion and make a revised, much lower, bid.

The minority angle is just to keep the Qataris on their toes, nothing more than a boogeyman desgined to strengthen the Glazers negotiating position.Why is it music to your ears?
Makes minority investment much more likely as it's now the only alternative, which the Glazers will play on in the months or years to come of this sale process, Ineos being around has always made a sale much more likely.
It did not say much about minority investment in that tweet, right? More like Ineos offer is dead because of fear or minority investors suing MUFC (I guess because that offer is only for Glazers, with the minority shareholders getting screwed, unlike in case of Qatar offer which also buys the other shareholders).Why is it music to your ears?

So does that get used on the team or does it go into the owner back pockets.The luxury tax is re-distributed to the teams below the tax threshold. All of the proceeds of that go directly to the owners of the remaining franchises.
That could also be why INEOS leaked the 'dead in the water' rumour. in the first place. That way lies madness.If that’s true and Jassim has an ounce of sense then he should tell the Glazers to whistle for their 6 billion and make a revised, much lower, bid. Madness to play so much over the odds when the other bid is “dead in the water”.
Thats because he works at Bloomberg.

My guess is that Qatar are in exclusive negotiation period and that’s why the INEOS bid is dead. You’d think that part of negotiations for entering that period would be to protect the Glazers from exactly what you say.If that’s true and Jassim has an ounce of sense then he should tell the Glazers to whistle for their 6 billion and make a revised, much lower, bid.

His update isn’t an update as it’s info we already know. This clown knows nothing.Tweet

He is cunning.Ratcliffe is a business genius
So what about all the British football journos who kept saying INEOS remained the most likely?The INEOS bid has been dead in the water for some time.
Bloomberg also sitting on info in terms of what the bid is and awaiting a second source.
It goes to the owners.So does that get used on the team or does it go into the owner back pockets.
Had a real go at buying united without spending a penny of his own money. I'd I wasn't a united fan I'd be impressedRatcliffe is a business genius
Outsmarted himself by proposing an impossible dealHe is cunning.
I would say they are clueless. Or I amSo what about all the British football journos who kept saying INEOS remained the most likely?
