The thread has fallen off the front page!
Jassim is going to tell them to whistle and walk…
This shits getting real boring now.
We joked about this deal going the same way as our transfer windows but guess the Glazers don't do jokes.
fecking parasites.

Really don’t understand the complaints about it taking too long.
WWE didn’t get sold overnight, rumours of a sale have been going on since like Oct/Nov!

If Jassim and Jim cant succeed in getting them out, I doubt anybody else can, because they are asking for something unrealistic.
It's not supposed to be entertaining.
Wonder how the scene at Old Trafford today would be like.
They will sell, but will go at lengths to get maximum profit.
I cant wait to see the back of the parasites. I hope Jassim or Jim do not give up in the middle of the road.
I hope so too.
These fecking pricks man, what is there left to talk about? The bids are on the table. They're going to lose both bidders at this rate.
Great, Avi and Joel can stay on as ball boys, job done.
Ffs, I just knew you'd come in here with this nonsense. Should have written in white text, now I feel I've missed a bet.
And we've been officially on the market since November and it's a smaller deal.
This is the epitome of a protracted business deal, so much data to plough through for all concerned but it all surely points to an eventual sale to get this advanced stage where it is now, unthinkable they could just string along such big hitters in business like Qatar and Ineos without concluding an agreement.
Bit mote intricacies with United though, we have owners who are on the fence about selling. WWE have been eager to sell for a while now.
Well then too bad the rest want to sell right?
I have to say, this is a terrible sequel to Groundhog Day.
You mean Groundhog Day: Groundhog Day
At every stage we’ve heard the Glazers don’t really want to sell yet they still progress to the next stage. Now they’re going to enter into direct negotiations even though they still don’t want to sell. It’s clearly bullshit to ensure they get the highest price - they’ll be saying they don’t want to sell even after the club has been sold!
Someone still hasn’t explained what a partial sale would be. Would the two dickheads sell their own shares or expect others to simply sell theirs to keep them all on? Why are the other 4 relying on the two asshats to agree to a sale, they can sell their shares at any time
I take this as pretty positive. I’ve said all along that they need to move towards face to face negotiation now, no more of this sealed bid nonsense. It’s the only way to break the stalemate.
So Sheikh Jassim and Ineos are both through to the next stage?
It’s an article based on little next to no new information.
- Sources have said (I made it up)
Something is definitely going on but the journos won’t have a clue until Raine drops the information.

My point is only that this delay has nothing to do with the size of the deal or anything else, it's just pure Glazer shithousery, really.
And just off that, we might as well be sold in 2024.
Exactly. Minority stake has never made sense. The only thing that could potentially happen is the others sell and Joel/Avram or both stay on as a minority knowing the investment from SJ or SJR will increase the value.
What a piece of shit article that is.
It's a hell of a skill to be able to write a whole lot without actually saying anything.

'Asking price ROCKETS to the amount it was reported as a year ago and has been ever since'
Yep. Was going to say that myself. The only ones unsure of the price are the journalists themselves as they can’t seem to get their heads around pounds, dollars and euros.
If I had to place a wager, I would bet on the Glazers staying and Elliot investing about a billion in return for (a) roughly 15% of overall ownership (b) lots of control in deciding how the club is managed (particularly with respect to player recruitment). There are too many rumors now about the Glazers not being willing to sell, and some of the recent decisions (e.g. hiring a lead data scientist to help with recruiting) do not strike me as decisions that owners on their way out would make. Not saying this will definitely be the outcome, but it's the one I'd bet on.
