Jassim’s bid was multiple times over what Jim Brexit is bringing… like multiple billions over it.
That turned to glass and then shattered.
Logically, the more they need to pay to get the club, the less they have money to spend when owning.
It looks like it wouldn’t have mattered even if they bid £7 billion just for the Gkszrd shares they have it in their heads the club is worth £10 billion how does SJ counter that without looking a complete bafoon when Forbes overvalue the club at $6 billion, time to move on and more importantly for united fans to stop fighting amongst themselves!
And then stone cold came out
And promises
seems like Raine aren't born yesterday, they know how to negotiate with them By slaves.
The mass meltdown from you guys is definitely one of them.
Was desperate to buy Chelsea and Barce too and they fecked him off.
One of, if not the richest. These people's wealth tends to fluctuate quite a bit.
This is how I'm reading things. Think they always prefered a partial sale, and it looks like Jim is going to give them that.
Feels like we’ve been waiting a decade for someone to point the club in the right direction. We had a glimmer of hope and it’s been taken away. The Glazers are cruel and vile, they don’t care about success, just money. That’s my simple take on it.
Ratcliffe succeeded because they were willing to keep the Glazers. 25% is what they own. Basically we will still be run by idiots at the top. Only difference is Ratcliffe will show his face to the fans and keep giving false promise.
Do you really think he is going to take control and not try to be successful?
I think it is now clear that the two protagonists did not want to sell entirely. It is imperative for INEOS to gain control as soon as they can. Was the David Beckham interview a last ditch PR? Or did they believe that Jassim had won it after yet another 6th bid?
People just want owners that put the club first, nothing more, nothing less. That’s why the Qatari bid was attractive, regardless of supposed “sports washing” motives, it was in Jassim’s every interest to inject money in to making every facet of the club best-in-class. Club first. This will absolutely not be the case under the proposed SJR/Ineos deal, we’re more likely to see private equity investment and more milking of the club as nothing more than a revenue-generating machine in order to filter any profits to a select few stakeholders.
To achieve what?
And in the process, made himself an absolute villain to the entire fanbase that he's trying to get on his side.
Jassim's bid valued the club less than Ratcliffe. His bid was for a higher percentage yes, but Ratcliffes still is a 25% start while progressing to a full takeover. The total value is what counts. Not just what someone earns today. Jassim was well within his rights to do the same, or up his full takeover offer to be equivalent to the total value that Ratcliffes bid values the club at.
It’s one thing to have a baron period, it’s another to be owned by incompetent owners who have leached 1.5b from the club while letting the stadium rot and picking terrible staff over and over again.
I am ready to give him a chance but am not too optimistic
I'm there. I just want my club to be clean and rid of the ticks and leeches.
That’s nonsense. The alternative is them just staying on for the next 20 years.
The only good thing is, Jim has no need to leech from the club. Himself and INEOS have more money than they know what to do with, so there is that?
People are not forgetting, they are arguing in bad faith and melting down because they didn't get what they wanted.
