Just watched the Streford Paddock interview with Kieran Maguire - quite interesting and he reckons whoever it is will look to be in place by the end of the season with a view on the summer window.
Which interested parties did he think are genuineJust watched the Streford Paddock interview with Kieran Maguire - quite interesting and he reckons whoever it is will look to be in place by the end of the season with a view on the summer window.
He gets info from sources in and around the club, not from Apple themselves. Apple contact the club, people start talking about it inside the club, someone down the vine tells Luckhurst.It's completely out of the realm of possibility, but walk me through the thought process. Let's say Tim Cook is interested, how would Luckhurst even hear about it?
Is Luckhurst based in Palo Alto and has a good line into Apple HQ? Based in Florida and heard it at the Glazers' gulf club? In New York at some boardroom where financial and legal advisers are hashing it out?
No, he's a grifter based in rainy Manchester and is so completely removed from anything going on.
I like the idea of Zara guy despite his age,clearly wants a long lasting legacy for familyYeah.. cant see Apple buying united.. would be very weird.. not something I'd expect them to do.
Mukesh bhai is probably our best hope.
I’m loving itHave Greggs or McDonald’s expressed their interest in buying us yet?
White text would have been appreciated!!That's the joke
I’m sure he knows people who know people etcIt's completely out of the realm of possibility, but walk me through the thought process. Let's say Tim Cook is interested, how would Luckhurst even hear about it?

Worth around $95bn apparentlyYeah.. cant see Apple buying united.. would be very weird.. not something I'd expect them to do.

I shall do no such thing (maybe I should, no everyone is rimaldo)White text would have been appreciated!!![]()
He has sources in the club. He was first to link us with Varane in around March 2021.It's completely out of the realm of possibility, but walk me through the thought process. Let's say Tim Cook is interested, how would Luckhurst even hear about it?

Itrafford …. with new versions every year!Apple Trafford
So might SJR. Legacy and profit don’t have to be mutually exclusive.I like the idea of Zara guy despite his age,clearly wants a long lasting legacy for family
So in the hypothetical situation that Apple are interested, why would they contact the club?He gets info from sources in and around the club, not from Apple themselves. Apple contact the club, people start talking about it inside the club, someone down the vine tells Luckhurst.
That being said, I agree with you. No way this is real.
Very true but just can't believe this story at allHe has sources in the club. He was first to link us with Varane in around March 2021.
Ok fair enough but like I said everything I’m seeing seems to be quoting the Star, when has anything factual ever come out of that rag?Direct to fans streaming ie MUTV. That's a gold mine, when the content delivery, gets more fragmented. They are already offering a match on MUTV less than 24hrs after its played.
Money isnt the issue.. Activision would be in line with what Microsoft do.. it would give them an edge over Sony as well ..Apple has almost $200bn cash on hand. Of course buying United does look odd but it's not like they could not easily do that for marketing reasons. Microsoft are paying $70bn+ to acquire Activision Blizzard, $5bn looks pale in comparison... BTW can't Microsoft buy us and put us on Game Pass?
Where has he said it?Apple interest confirmed
Apple > AndroidApple interest confirmed
RidiculousHe has sources in the club. He was first to link us with Varane in around March 2021.
He is worth around 4 times what Ratcliffe isSo might SJR. Legacy and profit don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Surely they'll go to jail for insider trading if that's true.Someone bought a feck tonne of contracts before the news broke, 1 contract is equal to 100 shares. They made 1000% on everyone they bought, millionarie status basiclly. In other words, someone knew this was about to happen.
Rude!I shall do no such thing (maybe I should, no everyone is rimaldo)
FFSI’m sure he knows people who know people etc
That’s how reporters work. They don’t have to be based at the location themselves to get their bits of information.
indeed
He's filthy rich.. and more importantly, has invested in sports teams.. Owns Mumbai Indians in the IPL. No clue if he is looking at a football club, but if he does buy a club, he'll do much better than the Glazers..Worth around $95bn apparently
Alot of things had changed since then. The most important of all is that none of the media companies has exclusive rights on games anymore. That might be a game changer. For example Berlusconi owned both Milan FC and Mediaset (who showed serie A football)which means apple buying United would rule them out of showing epl games.
Not sure if I like ITraffordLuckhurst confirms Apple are interested
As long as he bids enough that is largely irrelevant.He is worth around 4 times what Ratcliffe is
You really have no idea how the world of journalism works it seems!So in the hypothetical situation that Apple are interested, why would they contact the club?
They would simply ring up the Glazers and their advisers would draw up an agreement.
No one at the club would have a clue - certainly not anyone that Luckhurst would have access to.
It's so fecking stupid - this shit needs to stop
Liverpool fans might take a chunk out of their revenue, but only the really old cheap models-to be honest it might be a new selling point ‘your Applis less likely to be stolen now’Liverpool and City fans will throw their iPhones in the Mersey/Ship Canal respectively
JIOld Trafford.Not sure if I like ITrafford
Convinced this is happening quickly. Ducker said yesterday whilst thought unlikely formal offers can’t be ruled out before Christmas. Shit has been happening in the background for months.Just watched the Streford Paddock interview with Kieran Maguire - quite interesting and he reckons whoever it is will look to be in place by the end of the season with a view on the summer window.
I worry that he couldn't compete when it could take £10bn to sort us when everything is said and done (worth around $13bn) whereas it's a mere drop in ocean for guys like Ambani/OrtegaAs long as he bids enough that is largely irrelevant.
He’s a right wing asshole.Worth around $95bn apparently
We have many Ronald McDonald candidates at the clubHave Greggs or McDonald’s expressed their interest in buying us yet?
