When can I unfurl my Qatar flag in my front garden? I’ve been waiting months for this moment
Don’t even know yet if it is the Qatari’s. Could be Jim Ratcliffe or minority investment as the preferred bidder choice.

How much are second hand/ after market Qatar flags going for

Reporters this evening - "Breaking Exclusive - I understand a preferred bidder won't be named today, and it could happen as soon as next week"
For the JRoades fans…
There's a rumour something might not happen amazing these twitter sources.
soon then?
No chance whatsoever
Glazers are going to chase the absolute maximum they can get and aren’t bothered how it affects the club or it’s fans
I’ll happily predict that we’ll enter July without a preferred bidder announced
Why is this relevant?
That's definitely true and basically what I said.
They left Ed Woodward in charge of it all with no DOF. That was the issue.
He doesn't know anything, he has already been exposed as a fraud in the past, no idea why people give him any attention in the first place.
Everyone gets exposed at least once, doesn't mean much these days.
The Glazers main goal was always increasing shareholder value, which in this requires spending money. City buy players that have been scouted and evaluated to fit their system, with no goal in mind other than winning football games. No comparison whatsoever.
The old maxim 'they know the price of everything and the value of nothing' springs to mind when I think of the Glazers. They are part of the history of the club now but I wonder what future historians will write of them in, say, 50 years time? What will be their legacy?
Nobody has an interest in history remembering them well. Unanimous parasites
That's what I think too. We can't airbrush them out of the United story, but I can't ever see them painted in a favourable light by any serious historian of the game.
Ultimately a failure but more through poor management than financial restraint. The 'we're skint' argument that keeps rearing its head was disproven multiple times over the years but people still stick religiously to it. To the point where some genuinely will believe the two competing realities of us bring broke yet spent an arse load on players are both true
The Glazers succeeded in everything they set out to achieve at this club.
I'm not sure that's true either. This narrative that the Glazers just wanted to leach and scrimp simply isn't supported by the embarrassingly indiscriminate levels of spending over many years.
I've long maintained one of the biggest get out of jail cards they hold is the fact fans can see the biggest criticism of them in relation to restrictions on our spending simply aren't true.
I'm pretty convinced they will hold on as long as possible to see if anyome comes in at 10 billion.
That's not even a full Osihmen at current prices, let alone taking into account inflation
So people think Ineos selling some of their assets has anything to do with buying Utd?
If that’s true, god help us.
If that’s true, god help us.

No. They are buying the club via wall street debt anyway
The important thing is they are buying the club.
And the Glazers stay on? No offence but most matches going reds from around here are totally against it. I'm not sure I'll be rejoicing.
They will have no real power. How difficult is that to understand?
Completely agree serial bullshitter but does it with a sorry look in his face.
Not looking like we're going to hear anything today either
I’ld imagine it’ll be after the cup final now or it’ll take all the headlines away from the cup final and the build up/preparationsNot looking like we're going to hear anything today either
