They are indeed awful. Nobody really knows what is going to happen in the coming weeks/months, but rescuing the club from the clutches of the Glazer tentacles would undoubtedly be a moment for celebration (if it happens).

No. The most positive news is the most reliable. That's how it works.
A couple of Orcs
Not on NegCafe!
Only if the alternative is better though surely?
I wonder if they feel a little peeved with themselves considering how much the Glazers are potentially walking away with now. $125M between the two of them isnt something to sneeze at but still...
I wonder if he has dropped like a few million bucks to someone within the Raine Group to get inside info. Or he made some ghost bids to extract information of the bidding process.
The market is the same as SkyBet on transfer news to be honest.
Jackson hasn't been that reliable the last few years has he? I hope he's right though.
Is money really that important for those Glazers bastards? They already have billions. Man Utd is estimated to have 600M fans and what's the point of having billions but become the most hated human beings on planet earth.
Orcs?
Ogden was unreliable for yesterday's news and Jackson is on par with him.
Answer to your question in bold.
Yes.
The king under the mountain.
If the Glazers think that they are better off staying because the club will be worth closer to 10b by the end of the decade then surely they are aware the only way this will happen is if they invest heavily in the club, both on players and the stadium. So as much as I want the cun*s gone, if they do stay we can only assume they’ll invest hugely in the next few season. Because, if they continue to ruin the club the way they have been, it won’t be worth 1b never mind 10 by the end of the decade.
Mate, their Dad bought us with record debts and had zero intention of investing in the club. Their main intention was to make the club pay for their debts and squeezed everything out of us and now is the time to sell for big profits.
What makes you think they will invest in the club now and where they get the money? These bastards are parasites.
its still hard to believe the Glazers could go through such a lengthy and expensive (and i'm sure Raine's time is not a freebie) process not to sell. The Glazers were spending a lot of time in Qatar over the last year and i'm sure they are the bidder they really wanted involved in the process all along. To give the Qataris the 2 fingers at this stage would have long term implications for the Glazers , i think it would see a lot of doors slam shut on them in the Middle East.
Tories say no
Neither has Mark Ogden. Choose what you want to believe.
The Dodgers, they are going to rename them the Jamie Dodgers
The Glazers are desperate. They did not put the club for sale for just getting sense of the market. They would not do it if they did not get into a very difficult place financially.
I believe in Jamie Jackson. I've never said a bad word about the guy. Ever.
i'd take these guys ahead of the Glazers, at least they always seemed efficient at building stuff. The Old Mordor Stadium has a bit of a ring to it too.
This is endlessly repeated on here but it's so clearly rubbish. That would mean 7.5% of the entire human population is a Manchester United fan. If half the total human population is a football fan, that means 15% of all football fans support Manchester United. Again, tremendously unlikely, considering there are at least three other big clubs with very similar reach and following, and a number of almost-as-big clubs.
Not to mention that assuming that half the global population is interested in football is almost definitely flat-out wrong: FIFA claims the last World Cup final, the most viewed event in football, was watched by 'almost' 1.5 billion people. That's a record. There's no reason to believe that there are vast numbers of people who are usually interested in football but didn't watch the World Cup final - I'm sure there were some but I'm also sure they were outnumbered by those who usually don't give a flying feck about the sport but still watched it because it's the effing World Cup final.
Yeah, it's not very important or relevant to the thread but come on. 1.5 billion people watch the World Cup final but there are 600 million Manchester United fans? No.
You are forgetting that there are people who follows more than one club. Maybe the number is a bit inflated. But not that far from it.
Not true. Malcolm died in 2014 but his sons had been running the family business since at least the mid-2000s when Malcolm had his stroke, possibly even further back. I don't think Malcolm himself was ever involved in any way with United other than being the figurehead, and he never even made it to Old Trafford.Malcolm Glazer, not ‘the glazers’. The kids didn’t get involved until old Malc snuffed it! Just to clear this up.
They will sell, but will do everything to get maximum profit.
But then how do you define 'fan'? I mean someone who follows multiple clubs on social media isn't a fan. I have a soft spot for Fiorentina because they have a beautiful name and play in purple like my hometown club. So I always check out their results. Am I a fan? Not really. When it comes to a Fiorentina takeover or if we're discussing the marketability of Fiorentina, I'm a non-entity. I have no idea, for example, who their owners are.
600 million is probably the number of people who can at least tell you that Manchester United are a football club in England and Beckham played for them at one time. The vast majority of that 600 million doesn't give a feck about the Glazers.
Not ideal but not the worst thing to happen.

Make of it what you will
If they're so confident of securing outside investment, then why are they going through a third round of bidding?
Why would the bidders even entertain a third round if the Glazers are so intent on staying? Wouldn't they just pull out and let the likes of Elliot and Carlyle fight it out? I'm not sure how it all works but if the Glazers were so against selling out right I'm sure the main bidders would have pulled out by now

Third round of bidding is where Carlyle and Elliot shone, who knows? It costs nothing for SJR and the Qatar bid to remain, why pull out... Just wait until told.
This video has a crappy sound but its quite informative
