Why can't England force Glazers to sell like they did with Chelsea? The US has plenty of war crimes amongst other things under it's belt in recent times to reason it

Can't you Brits make a plea w your king?
Sounds like a great plan. If the Glazers resist, we'll just lock 'em up in the Tower of London until we can find a catapult to launch them into the sea.

The United share drop at NYC opening :lol:

Don't drop below 20, please!
Well the markets think INEOS more likely than last week. There are probably a lot of high frequency algos gaming each other on a hair trigger so it's hard to read much into it.

Well yes and then there is the part where it's convenient for Utd to brief the media that FFP is an issue. People are sick of us over-spending so it makes sense to claim poverty to try and force down prices.
Agree and would expect a couple of signings in the next few weeks prior to the takeover. As soon as that's announced United are going to get ripped off.

You'd imagine there speaking to several players in any position their looking to buy so can play clubs off against each other. Chelsea can't afford to let Mount leave for free.

A tad barbaric. Just play glory, glory, man united 24/7 in their cells. Poetic justice!

They don't mind war crimes, but forcing Glazers to sell wouldn't be an easy poll booster.

Well since it was a lot of positive vibes around Qatar last week and nothing happened I guess it´s kind of expected that INEOS get some kind of momentum gossip wise.

This is due to the upcoming release of financials. The street is typically a bit nervy before these things and some shareholders will dump stock if they think the news will be less than positive. Happens with my employer every quarter.

There has to be something going on it the background surely? - Defies belief that the Rats are waiting for one of the parties to raise the stakes (again) ?

The idea floated by Luckhurst that they’re waiting until after June 30 for financial reasons seems about as feasible a reason I can think of

Aside from the more obvious reason, which is that the Glazers are absolutely shite businesspeople

Not the least bit frustrating seeing the two clubs that finished above us strengthening their squads whilst we’re hamstrung by these leeches. :rolleyes:

Feck off already.

Beginning to feel like nothing but bluster and PR from the Glazers since that damaging Ronaldo interview last winter.

No but they can make it illegal to own any club with debt of more than £250m that gets rids of them asap !

The most feasible reason is they still haven’t made their minds up yet and are in no hurry to. They have consistently taken ages at every stage and found ways to drag out their decision.

I don’t see why would make any difference to delay it until 30th just like theory they’d announce today because of financial results didn’t make any difference. They’ll do it whenever they want to which could still be weeks from now.

Pure unadulterated greed.

Sprinkled with sheer incompetence that could only come from nepotism.
Perfectly summed up but it’s important to realise that the actual debt is about £520m, the rest is owed transfer payments Agreed with other clubs as part of the Payment structure to buy new players, any incoming owner is only obliged to meet the agreed payment schedule and in SJ case clear the club debt. It’s also important to notice that SJ through 92 Foundation could actually pay off all of these amortised costs with the clubs and probably increase the transfer budget by another £100m next season however FSP becomes 80% next year reduced from 90%.

Looking back and seeing that point in time when debt was down to £342m hurts. The Glazers showed that is was possible for them to milk us AND pay off the debt. Since then its been a disaster. If we'd kept up the pace of repayments we could have been debt free even under their leadership.

Because we have sided with the US for most of them

If we don't get anything soon, 2024 completion might not be out of the question. Crazy stuff.

The only positive out of thenews coming from the club is....no dividend payout for the nepo-leeches.

If they were planning on staying they'd have dipped their snouts into the trough.

Them not taking a dividend makes the financial status look less perilous than it is so they can get a sale happening.

Is it possible the Glazers/buyers were waiting for these results to come out before moving to the next stage? I'm clutching at straws, I know.

Only in so much they will demand more for the full sale as they will say the club is now in good hands, has an elite Manager, woman’s and mens team back in CL. If the rumoured turnover is £630-640m this season without CL, they are seriously thinking about sticking around another year or Asking for more money and probably want the cash reimbursed for any summer transfers.

No, that’s just waffle.
