There's only six weeks of the season left.
There is a zero per cent chance of a sale being completed in six weeks!
Stone is realistic, no way this gets done before the end of the season.
Yeah most likely. As long as it’s done for preseason I’ll be happy. We can’t let this drag on and disrupt our summer transfer plans.
The media know absolutely nothing…they proved that live on air during the last round of bids.
Ignore 100% of this garbage until an official announcement from the club.

I am sure the Raine guys would have spoken to the various parties to assess their bid's upward mobility after the 2nd bid was submitted. Who is in a stronger position to pay more and/or has a higher propensity to pay more?
And if I was the bidder, I would always plan for the worst and hope for the best. So there would have been multiple pathways for the multiple scenarios of how this deal would go.

Doubt if they would do this again in 6 months. Raine probably won't do it for the Glazers as they wouldn't risk flipping through their Rolodex of clients to pitch. Besides the Glazers themselves would look foolish or desperate & weak.
A couple of years later when the economic conditions have improved -- and probably not with Raine.
The thing in business is that you always assume the opposition is smart as hell (and so you plan accordingly) -- until proven otherwise.
Only a naive person would enter negotiations thinking that the other side is dumb.
They are staying
One final feck you to the fans
United fans hate them anyway. So they dont owe us anything
Never underestimate the other guys greed.
this is exactly it. Great post.
They’re going, i have 0 doubt, but as parasites do, they’ll suck every last drop they can before they just feck off once and for all
Wheres Harry? He's gone a little quiet since this last bit of info...
I think it's safe to say the Glazers will sell, but they, as we well know, want to squeeze every last bit of money from this sale. I don't think they have any intention of actually wanting to stay. Thats just my opinion though

Haha, I did countenance that possibility too!You're a braver man than me using the name Ruy López in a footie forum. I wanted to, then feared a "Who does he play for?" comment
So our crumbling stadium has been dropped from the Euro 2028 bid. No surprise but another reason why the Glazers need to go.
Surely the rules of the bidding process are known to the bidders. If the Glazers, or their advisors, are changing the rules mid-way the bidding process one would assume this might create dis-trust amongst the bidders, risking them to walk away. Seems rather incredible to add step by step to the bidding process without this being known beforehand to potential bidders.
Not to defend the Glazers but I thought we weren't in the bid as we can't guarantee our stadium will be available then as we might be renovating or building a new one.
Well that and the fact its not up to modern standards, thanks largely to the neglectful parasites who've let it rust away over the last 19 years. Its obviously a historic ground with a large capacity, but it's a relic compared to some of the other stadiums in the country.
Embarrassing? Because it will potentially be under construction in ‘28? I don’t see it myself.
Nobody has said OT is not good enough. Let’s not let that get in the way of a ABU narrative though, eh Ducker?
Renovations few years too late.. (I haven’t been, but according to many).
I mean it isn't good enough and it should of been redeveloped years ago and the only reason it needs such drastic redevelopment is because nothings been done for years.
I believe that club club withdrew OT from the bid due to possible the renovation process that might be occurring during that period.
Yep, it’s because the club is predicting they’ll be doing constructing and renovating on OT during that period.
It’s absolute nonsense
That is of course correct. Not defending the Glazers at all here, but Ducker's assertion that OT "hasn't made" the shortlist implies that the stadium is so bad that it has been overlooked in favour of others - that is simply false.
United said they pulled out because they couldn't guarantee availability. But the suggestion was that even before that the Etihad was favoured because it was the more modern stadium.
Interesting to note that Anfield isn't included either for some reason, while the new Everton stadium that isn't complete yet is.
You have the inside scoop?
This is anti glazer not ABU, he's right.
Is villa park on the list?
1. Wembley Stadium (London) (capacity 90,652)
2. Principality Stadium (Cardiff) (73,952)
3. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London) (62,322)
4. Etihad Stadium (Manchester) (61,000)
5. Everton Stadium (Liverpool) (52,679)
6. St James' Park (Newcastle) (52,305)
7. Villa Park (Birmingham) (52,190)
8. Hampden Park (Glasgow) (52,032)
9. Aviva Stadium (Dublin) (51,711)
10. Casement Park (Belfast) (34,500)
I had a mental image of Avram dancing to the Bee Gees before clicking that
Anfield’s pitch is a couple of cm shorter than the required size.
The issue is that the construction should have been done already not that it might be getting done and the fact it wasn't/isn't likely being done under their stewardship of the club
No more than the other in the know's. Just my gut feeling
Problem is like Stone has said it's now looking like it won't be sorted by end of season,therefore unable to have them in place for the summer transfer window.
