We don’t really know that though. I agree there’ll be very few out there, states or billionaires that will want/willing to part with the best part of 3-4 billion quid and take on millions in debt but you never know. I guess it’s the hope that kills you.
There just isn’t though, it’s been given a lot of thought and the best people can come up with is Bezos.
What we need is an owner that is not looking for financial gain through owning the club, that’s possible for a small value club but not for any business or businessman who needs to pay what we are worth. Anybody who buys us and wants a return on their investment are worse for us than the glazers by default due to our value being massively more than the Glazers paid in their leveraged buyout. Can you imagine the debt we would be in if a leveraged buyout happened at our current value - if it’s even possible. Dread to think.
Says online we are worth $4.65 BILLION as of May 2021. Even an oil state like the Sheikh at City would think twice about that outlay, it’s like a fifth of his overall worth. Difference is they bought city for a relative pittance in comparison so it made sense and met their sportswashing needs. The Saudi’s imo were the only potential suitor who could do the same for us.
So… victims of our own worth and the worst that could happen would be for the Glazers to accept a low ball bid from some Yankee firm looking to make money off the back of our past success like the glazers have.
