I was just thinking about what bullshit it is to sell stock where the purchaser has to buy a 'non-voting' share for each share they buy.
So the Glazers can sell 50% of the stock and still keep control. But that 50%, say 100 shares for argument, will really be 200 shares, which should account for 100%. So the Glazers get to sell stock amounting to 100% while still keeping control of the team!
I believe I read you can't do that in England, which is why they're doing it in Singapore.
It would make sense that, if the Qatari are serious about buy the team, you'd want to do it before this phenomenon artificially inflates the value of the club.
