A perverse part of me will miss this thread. 1636 pages of utter bullshit (and counting) but it's been quite a community effort before we all try to murder each other over the final result

Does a bidder "getting rid of the debt" mean that in addition to paying off the debt put on the club in the Glazer's leveraged buyout, all prior transfers that had a portion of the fee payable over time (not the bonuses, etc.) will be paid off as well. For example, I don't recall what the payment schedule was for Sancho but if the 73m was to be paid off over 5 years, would Dortmund receive a check in the mail for the balance due to them?

If so, this frees up so much additional cash flow ON TOP of the lack of dividends and no more interest payments to banks.

Take this with a pinch of salt and shit all over my post if you wish as it may be complete bollocks…there’s a guy on tiktok who’s been doing videos in the last couple of weeks on the sale. He claims to have a contact who’s very closely involved in the takeover.

Anyway, long story short he’s made a few ITK claims recently, in particular the fact Sheikh Jassim was going to put a 4th bid in. He reported it was happening a day or so before any news broke which is where people have started giving him credibility.

Anywayyy, the same guy is claiming the deal with Sheikh Jassim is done and the Glazers have even gone as far as asking the Sheikh if they can use some of his investment money to put towards transfers right now.

He’s not revealed who his contact is til now but has said today it’s someone on the Qatar side. Anyway, interested to see if it’s true or complete bollocks. He claims that’s what’s going to be revealed this week.
I’ve been following this guy for the banter with a view he’s been talking bollocks. But to be fair he released a video today claiming news would break tonight about SJ winning. He’s also said all along his contact is on the Qatari side. Interesting the news from Al Watan broke tonight.

If this is a "State Bid" as many say, then state owned PSG moving Mbappe to state owned Man Utd (If Qatar manage to buy the club) simply means they are moving a player from one hand to the other, irrelevant of the transfer fee as the money is staying in their hands.

Mbappe also announcing he won't be extending his contract. All our christmas's could come at once in the next 48 hours.

Both Ineos and Qatar both seem to think they’ve won according to the newspapers

Reckon the Glazers are just bored?

To be fair to the bloke he has been consistent.

It would also make sense for PSG to sell him to Utd for £5 and a packet of crisps to keep FFP limits cushy for Utd. Whatever they charge, it’s going in the same pocket.

Is this after market trading thing legit? A 3% rise during the day isn't exactly significant. How formal is the after hours figure

If they did that the shit would hit the fan. It would legitimately move associations to change the games rules and laws.
I can see this narrative of PSG and Mbappe being upset being leaked to cover such a move with the excuse that he has one year left that can lower the fee but it’s a bit of a reach at the minute

Feels like Jim was on the verge of a deal but that last Qatar bid and them announcing they’re out of negotiations has done the job

Lads we've seen it already the stock price goes up whenever the news of a Qatar takeover seems positive but it likely doesn't mean anything just like the other times it happened earlier in the process.

Not saying it's not done but I don't think stock price is really much of an indication

It’s more of where the news has come from. Not the stock specific
