Geez you’d think as much as you hate them you would want them to give up any amount of voting shares. You want to beg them to buy back their voting shares now do you?
Glazers selling a significant amount of shares

Due to the Ronaldo transfer, shares have probably never been worth more. Smart business decision for them and they still hold the majority of the shares so doesn't make a massive difference anyway.
4% of club value. To cover Covid loss maybe?
Where can one see the various shareholders and their % of shares?
Excellent.
Anything that loosens their grip on the club is a step in the right direction.
To line their pockets I expect. I'd be suprised if any of this money went to the club.
Cheeky little CGI on Phil Jones’ gurning face?
Joel Glazer : I will personally pay the fines for the superleague and repairs to OT

You got that with his WC 2018 panini sticker.

They are (unfortunately) his shares to sell though. If that means he's putting his own money into the club then he deserves a bit of credit. Not much, but it would be an improvement and a step toward repairing the damage he and his family have done.
Yeah, its still his money he would be putting in. He's just financing it by selling capital, but presumably the private equity firm will want a high ROI so commitment to future dividends which we'll all be paying towards as fans.
Anyone notice how fecked Carrington was during training videos?
Looks trashy as feck.
Why should it go to the club? The shares belongs to them.
I don’t see how this is a good thing. It’s basically inviting more vultures to the feast, and ones who probably give even less of a shit about the club.
Maybe because all they've done so far is take money from the club and their debt still hasn't been paid off. Of course, there's no legal obligation for him to put any money in.
Especially when they know Glazers will still be the face of United and held accountable by stakeholders.
I owned shares pre glazers. I did it so I owned a tiny part of the club, still have the framed share certificate.
I don’t know much about professional share dealing, but clearly not a smart investment strategy , but I was happy with my reasons and I did actually make a good profit.
All these years later I resent the fact I was forced to sell something I owned without any choice, as the rules permitted that. Again i know it’s not the thought process of professional dealers, but I knew that at the time.
Even if I understood share trading and knew what was doing, I wouldn’t buy shares in United for any reason while the Glazers have any involvement.
This selling of shares has little to no effect on Glazer's greasy grip on their Man Utd piggy Bank.
Not sure I believe this story at all. They could have raised 100m by selling non-voting right shares…why would they give up 14% of voting rights for that?
Hearing elsewhere it's nowhere near the 13% voting mentioned in that article. Simply easy money in the pocket
Yep. Worrying trend if true. The prospect of being owned by multiple faceless investment firms would be the worst scenario imaginable.
Read Ariel Investments have £16b worth of assets, could this be the first steps in a takeover?
Nothing to see here at all then. They’ve just been buying up class A stock and because it’s got over 5% it’s been declared.

I wonder how much AMC shares the Glaziers have.
Weird time to buy shares after the value went up over £250m since R7 signed
No because it is their purchase of shares that has sent the price up - I assume they have buying for a while and it just has to be announced when they pass 5%
>Man Utd will not receive any proceeds from sale
Well, color me surprised.
Money for nothing

At some point these amounts being sold will add up, no? I imagine if they are still interested in the club, which they seem to be, then they'll want to maintain that controlling share, and at some point selling off these shares will stop?
Not that it seems to matter for the club really. Just seems like money in their pockets.
Calm down, folks. I am the one buying the shares. Not gonna be able to change vote on anything significant, just getting REALLY NICE season seats 
The weaker they get percentage wise in theory the stronger the chance they sell it all. The only downside to this is who will buy the bulk of the shares for a controlling interest? A genuine person(s) or conglomerate that wants the team to be successful, or another money making machine thats just after the bottom line?
Just saw this on ceefax.
Seems like a lot of money that won't be going to the club.

Nothing new.
when I sell my shares I don't donate proceeds to the company, don't know about you lot
I’m confused, why do people think that selling shares would ever result in money going to the club?
Probably a combination of 2 things: not understanding financing as well & hating the Glazers for all the money they’ve taken out of the club. So combine a story of the Glazers selling their own shares and pocketing the proceeds = reason to have a go at them!
I loan it to the company and charge extortionate interest.
