They’ll have way more demand to sell than he’s buying though at that price - how do they choose in those instances? Just by who is selling the most?

Please
Cant wait to hear how he's actually bought shares at lower value than Jassim's offer. Confirming yet again that a full club sale was never possible and Ratcliffe is just complicit in propping the Glazers up when they were at their weakest.
If/when the tender offer is oversubscribed, it will be allocated proportionally. Hedge Fund ABC won't be able to tender 100% of their shares while Putz McGee gets to tender 0% (assuming Putz had elected to tender his shares).
The story says early next week and is based on the Sky news story earlier - so not today. Bloody sky sports news clickbaiting everyone!
If that $33 a share is right, then the size of Jassim's bids has been widely exaggerated.
Or that people have been chatting shit about the size of Jassim's bid.
$33 per share is essentially £4.4bn club valuation, way less than what Jassim offering, for the whole club. Yup, the glazers are staying. 250m investment (if that ever arrives) will probably the only additional thing Jim will invest.
Remember guys, everything positive coming from the British media is Ratcliffe PR and a "spin"...
Except when it comes to Qatar, and their lapdog Mike Keegan publishing shameless articles like this one for 6 months straight...then, it's the truth: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...-five-years-Qatari-takeover-bid-succeeds.html

Yes we can criticise him for not putting forward academy players for the 1st team squad. Makes sense
they aren’t staying
#FakeJassim.
How so?
Yeah that guy that nobody ever heard of before the "alleged" bid. Hilarious shit at this stage.
Jassim may or may not exist but it seems the bid inflations were all done by Ineos and their stooges in the media.
$33 per share values the club far less than Jassim's alleged bid. I can't say definitively but I think the most sensible conclusion is that the press were very wrong about the size of the alleged bid.
I do understand that some people were against the Sheikh Jassim bid, but suggestions he doesnt exist are simply idiotic
There are multiple articles from reputable sources in the Financial Times, The Athletic etc going into details about his history in various finance roles over the years - obviously some prefer to live in ignorance rather than actually go and do a bit of research
Regarding the size of any bid, I would wait for an official announcement before analysing anything - just like transfer fees and salaries, half of these numbers are just speculation
Somebody in another thread seemed to be under the impression that he was in charge of first team recruitment. I don't know where these ideas come from
Most definitely. The numbers bandied about were all over the place depending on the source. Even $33/share for 25% of the club is not consistent with the total figures being reported about this same bid.
I think this, for the most part, has just been claimed to wind up the people who were Qatar In, and they have done so with pretty remarkable success. If genuine, then yeah it's pure stupidity.
Ok but I don't agree. He may well have been offering the $38 in an effort to buy the whole thing. Remember, his bid had no flexibility on the amount of stake unlike Jim, so he had to go big on the money part. It's logical that he kept increasing his bid until it was clear the fecking glazers don't want to leave.
I think I mentioned this before - Ineos were supposedly buying a 70% stake in Mercedes F1, as per the media. They ended up buying 33%
The only announcement I want now is Arnold and Murtough out and Blanc and Mitchell in, then all of sudden we almost resemble a respectable sporting outfit.
The same press people are believing about Jassim have consistently said SJR’s bid was higher per share.
News followed by the announcement of our new sporting structure of:
Darren Fletcher CEO
John Murtough DoF
Dougie Freedman Head Scout
Darren Fletcher CEO
John Murtough DoF
Dougie Freedman Head Scout
Scouts and especially chief scouts should definitely have much more players knowledge than the manager. After all, their entire job is watching players play, while the manager’s job is mostly preparing tactics and coaching players.
This is precisely the reason why most clubs a long time ago decided that the manager is not in charge of signings. After all, there are not enough hours in a day to be able to do both jobs in a very high level for a single person.
I think rather people are trusting the details about 92 Foundation’s bids from respected outlets like Reuters / Bloomberg etc.
To suggest these behemoths were reporting detailed stories with false details about a ‘Fake Bidder’ is a very big, very daft claim.
It’s firmly in conspiracy theory territory.

I haven't said Jassim is not a real person. I am simply talking about the size of the bid. It's clear to me, people got it wrong.
Jassim this, Jassim that, who cares. He couldn't even beat SJR's bid and when the bid wasn't accepted, instead of working with sellers, they were briefing their journalists how they would invest so much money and transform the club.
Too much noise without much content
Too much noise without much content
Still no timeline or even indication of how full takeover is going to happen?
What about Edwards who was Liverpool DOF?

Admire your positivity but I read somewhere that if you buy 25%+ of a club the test is needed. Let's hope it goes quicker and that Murtough is out on his arse as well though, can't wait to get rid of the hierarchy chuckle brothers.
Who is the chancer behind the twitter account?
Do you disagree with the tweet?
‘He couldn’t even beat SJR’s bid’, is a very disingenuous way of putting it.
The accurate assessment would be - he wouldn’t stoop to SJR’s level.
There’s a big difference between those two sentences.
Though I agree with the sentiment that Utd fans should not be focussing on 92F’s bids now.
The focus should firmly and solely be upon the Glazers and Ratcliffe coalition, and what they’re going to do to fix Utd, both on the pitch and in the infrastructure of the club, stadium and debt.
That’s all that matters for Utd now.
They disagree with anything remotely good news as they like to live in perpetual negativity.
This is also close to how INEOS went about the Mercedes, 2 years it took them to get majority I believe.
Jassim simply didn't do everything in his power to purchase the club now or in the future. He should have put less into PR and more into making a deal happen.
