This has become some sick fecking joke.
Club Sale | It’s done!

Obviously the “full sale” option is out of the window otherwise that would have been done by now but still think they’re working through some sort of “part sale”, probably to Ratcliffe with them retaining some sort of interest, it’s just quite a complicated deal and they need to ensure they don’t get sued.
The Athletic saying no party has heard from the Glazers since their final bids. Previous reports said Jassim hasn't heard from them. Ratcliffe said he'd had a few conversations with them in recent weeks. Nothing really adds up.
Re. Takeover I don't think Athletic have a clue. They're good for football news, not mergers and acquisitions.
We actually did get reports from Bloomberg and Reuters on this but they were shat over and rubbished because @ManUNooz34, or someone, wasn't able to corroborate so all we got was a few days of the title changing to "mixed reports" or similar
1974
Football WC takes place In West Germany.
33 people killed in Republic of Ireland bombing carried out by Ulster Volunteer Force
Turkish invasion of Cyprus
Watergate scandal
Rubik cube is invented

it adds up to me
they always take forever to make a decision, and that is what's happening
it's probably the biggest business decision of their lives
1974 IRA killed 12 people including 2 kids in yorkshire, Birmingham bomb killing 21, Guildford killing 5 and I can go on and on
Undoubtedly yes.
They’ll implement complete silence hoping that 92 Foundation pull out.
They’ll then wait until a really good result has happened and the team is also challenging in one competition or other and thus ‘needs your support’, and then they’ll start to drip feed info via a few journos that they’re staying.
They’ll do this all season until the thought of them remaining attached to the club has been slowly normalised.
If they go the Ratcliffe route, they’ll just quickly put him as the face and disappear into the boardrooms.
Been away the last 10 pages, Beatlemania was pretty huge then. How’s it doing now?
probably yeah
but to be honest, we've already secured 1 of 3 essential signings needed (other being striker and GK), and by all reports we're very close to getting a keeper too.. whilst being linked with some Casemiro backups in the event of a few sales
given our summer history of the last few years, even getting 2/3 would be an improvement
and I'm hopeful the striker situation will get sorted too
Only the Glazers can make ManUNooz34 look more credible than fecking Reuters.
Yep, nothing happening since then doesn’t prove those reports meant nothing, it’s just where we are at in the Sale at the time
1974: the filming of Jaws, Utd relegated, Tom Baker is the new Dr Who, Abba win eurovision, womblemania...
Yeah whole thing turned into a farce and clear as day those leeches only want to sell to Ratcliffe. Mind you definitely starting to look like they had us all for last 8 months
How likely we get a shiny new toy to defuse the toxic atmosphere with glazers not moving on...
The transfer window is open. Usually that's when every club signs players. What's toxic is this idea we'd only be doing it because of some imaginary shit the Glazer's give about fans feelings.

My dream scenario would be for the 2 bidders to pull out. The fans revolt forcing them to sell next year for half the price they're being offered today. It would be another year in the doldrums but would be totally worth it.
Maybe they’ve simply changed their mind. They only ever said they were looking at options.
They may as well do that now
Only Kane would lift fans morale but we know for a fact that won't be happening
If they are staying (which is the last thing I want as I don’t trust them at all) I’d infinitely rather they fixed up the stadium and training facilities and started investing in and communicating with the community instead of signing Kane or anyone else for the next few years. If we finally get these things right with the manager we have we are going places while playing modern football. The very best young players will want to come here again. We can and should be looking at a few years to build the team and club back up sustainably again. There’s no quick fix after 10 years of mismanagement and quick fixes.
I feel there’s a very good chance they end up selling for less.
Look at their history of transfers - both buying and selling, look at the contracts they hand out ffs.
They’re experts at losing money and finding a fail from basically every situation they’ve been in at Utd.
If they don’t sell now, Jassim WILL buy another PL club, and he’ll obviously be very determined to make a point of it being a huge success - that’s on top of City, Chelsea, Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool.
I can totally see them selling for less, and to some crap buyer like Ratcliffe or a Levy type.
In many ways it feels like the most natural, fitting way for their time at Utd to end, doesn’t it?
Qatar going to a rival will hurt a lot but yep starting to look a very realistic possibility
Well if it's all about investment in stadium and training facilities then we should have taken an offer from the likes of minority investor
If we dont sell to Qatar we have no chance of regular top 5 in the fuure never mind title runs. Were already failing to compete in the market now, imagine if Qatar buy Spurs or West Ham. Us Chelsea Arsenal and Liverpool battling for 4th/5th place along with the occasional Brighton, Villa, Brentford etc in the following seasons. Meanwhile the stadium drops to pieces.
Yeah I completely agree with you
Yeah I feel sick to my stomach they have strung us along and annoyed at myself for being gullible enough to buy they would sell
It is in the Glazers very best interests to sell the club now and not later, surely they can see this? they will not get any better offers further down the line, especially if Utd slip out of the top 4 next year and a stadium that is no longer fit for purpose.
They need to realize theyre not a seller on Alibaba.
They couldn't care less so are happy to leech on
Don’t have to remind everyone of the comments from the editor of the FT?
Please do, I don’t recall
Yeah, go on then.
It would be nice if they communicated that to the world though if that's the case. Surely if they aren't going to sell now is the best time to announce it. Pre season protests won't garner as much media interest etc.
Yep may as well give us the dreaded statement seeing as pretty much everyone has accepted they aren't going anywhere
If this drags to the season start the Glazers might be in trouble. I think the fans are pissed of to the point were games being called off is a strong possibility
This gonna be a disaster if they are still here come opener
