Would you say Glazers would have been using The Raine group anyway, even if the Glazers never wemt public?
If we weren't reservicing debt then dividends wouldn't be a huge issue. It's both of them.
Either an American conglomerate who are already involved in sports teams over there, like Mark Cuban and a couple more, a Middle Eastern or Chinese buyer are the other options.
I think the Glazers would prefer to sell to an American buyer because that's where they'll get the highest bid, ego and all that. I think ultimately though, we'll be sold to a state in the Middle East, the opportunity for sportswashing on a global scale is too good to turn down.
The only concern I have is it that the glazers are finally realising their mistakes like signing commercial players (ronaldo, pogba) is not beneficial and have finally started to correct things with directors, data analysts etc.. and if a new owner comes along will they do a boehly of trying to play football manager and also boot out out ten hag?
I love the "it's complicated" yet he's acting like has the capability to unpick it
Where are these links?
It’s already the “super league” in my opinion. But an official name change?
Almost definitely
Whereas, i think they realise their mistake given they don't seem to understand/ harness the power of social media profiles and how truth through real reading, real research has less power than a player/ex player as a negative force. They're business traditionalists dinosaurs

Do a search.
Noooooooo
No more American "investors", please. I don't care who it is, just not that. No consortiums, funds, whatever. You have to be insane to want this after the Glazers. Surely there is someone else? I will take that.

Ask Jeeves not working.
He's not rich enough
How do you mean? They've most likely been looking to sell a stake but absolutely no one wants to touch it with them involved. The Raine group will specialise in selling companies like this and will advised them how best to do it.
We're looking at a recession soon and I'd say 2-5 years before things recover depending on how pessimistic you are. The time to sell is now if you want top dollar, they could have got more if they'd have sold about a year ago. I reckon they would have been advised to get out now before it gets too expensive for them to recover the asset.
This is going to be sale of the century stuff - they’re going to make a fecking fortune
New owners may have other plans though of course.I know it sounds typical ITK but a lad I know who really is ITK
The Dubai owners will find it difficult to raise the funds. I know I didnt like going to the cash point in the heat when I was on holiday over there.
They're also broke every few years. Dubai's littered with their failed projects, that they ran out of money for half way through.
So all Americans are same as Glazer?
Utd are like Real, Barca and Bayern - how often are clubs of that stature ever on sale?rich folk the world over will be putting a bid togetherThis is going to be sale of the century stuff - they’re going to make a fecking fortune
I’m really not sure about him, seems like a bluffer to me
Yes, their fancy project is sinking 5mm every year. They make horrible financial decisions. They want to be extravagant but dont have the money like Qatar or Abu Dhabi
Which projects?
Speak for yourself. I don’t want to be a state run toy regardless of whether they’re Middle Eastern or Scandinavian
Hopefully our fanbase take every option on their merit instead of pushing for one person. We need the best option available to us and we cant feck this up
Dividends at like 17m/year were never our problem
Sell the rights to the Burj Khalifa, rename it the Man Utd Tower
everything google touches dies
google is not a very patient company and they don’t tend to stick with investments and/or new ventures long
I'm not too sure how I feel about SJR anymore! Eek.

Rule him out. No way our club value will increase more than the amount we will be bought for.
Plus this sounds more like Glazers than any other potential buyer
Big deal.
I said the same thing back then when we spent £200+m on our transfers for one reason only.I said that the glazers were dressing up the shop window, with loans that the future owners will pay for.
Smart of them and typical/consistent of them - doing things on the backs of others.

Thanks for the reply.
It’s what he seems to do, even with the ridiculous Chelsea bid. Get his name out there, become a large percentage of the fans choice then not make a proper bid hoping fan pressure will bring price down.
Maybe, maybe not. But after seeing the circus over at the Bridge, and the stinginess at Anfield, I'm leaning more towards maybe. I find the entire sports culture access the pond distasteful. They are clueless about "soccer" as well, again proven by Boehly in no uncertain terms. And keep in mind he was supposedly chosen because he is the best choice or something. I shudder to think what the other options were. I wouldn't trust American "investors" with anything, least of all Manchester United. They are all shades of Glazer in my eyes.
