Elliot Rodger ?
But your honour, I urge you to reconsider the sentence on the base of excessive fixationGuilty as charged!
Well there is evidens he is clueless. Look at the state of his two football clubs. They are worse than before his takeover.
Finally. A refreshingly new take on the matter
Well, they specialising in bending companies over and shafting them hard.
I like that. You can continue to call me that from now on.
Can't accept this.
Which is why I'm not taking the faux outrage seriously. The important part in this alleged offer is that Ratcliffe takes control and that when all is said and done, is the most important factor.
It's far from the perfect situation and nobody is pretending otherwise but those who look at the whole picture can see it's a far better option than the realistic alternative on offer.
Another thing I've been thinking about is that of the 6 siblings, Joel, and particularly Avram have always been far more aligned with their father's way of thinking and for them, in some twisted way, they may well have more of a connection with the club because of that. Not because they care about Manchester United, but that it was their dads prized possession, arguably his greatest ever bit of business from a purely business sense. Hopefully nobody takes this as me suggesting they secretly love the club, it's the complete opposite and rather their last connection with their dad.
I only foresee a full sale in that case.
You’d hope so! Going to be a long day tomorrow
So it’s literally nothing new then, the Glazers will still have the final say even if they do go into partnership with Ratcliffe.
It just seems more & more that Jassim is our only hope to rid ourselves once and for all of these leeches.
There is a very easy way to fix that. Ratcliffe purchase all the Glazer shares and immediately sell a predetermined amount to Joel and Avram. We are not talking about an insumontable issue and the other Glazers will not jeopardize the sell for that kind of thing while Ratcliffe isn't purchasing a football club to not have control of it.
Real fans want Qatar. Only solution.
Agreed. I doubt INEOS would go for that too. There has to be a restructuring of the shares otherwise what’s the point?
Exactly. They can restructure the shares
Ratcliffe is being used to squeeze more money out of the Qataris.
We argued on somethings and we agreed on others but there was never an instance I wanted you to be right then on this one
Don’t think Madrid are for sale. The members would never allow it.
The whole A and B shares thing was done purely to raise personal capital for them while maintaining control of the club.
The very first thing on the agenda in any negotiations will be the removal of that clause. Otherwise it becomes pointless even bothering. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a stipulation in place already that negates the clause in the event of a sale.
Imagine if this had to happen and SJR refuse to sell those shares to Joel and Avram
This is a test. Ignore this post. It contains a secret code, "864086"
Wouldn't that cause problems with A shares who are on the market suddenly become far more powerful then expected?
They would agree on both at the same time.
get in the bin mate.Settle down Sheikh bin Berbasbullet.
The honest truth is that that clause is not set in stone. The Glazers can get rid of it anytime.
I am sure that the snakes would protect themselves but it would be hilarious if a loophole is fount and they are locked out
Yeah because Ineos are going to spent £3bn on 50% of a business they can't control. They aren't stupid.
I would hope anyone looking to invest 5 bil into Man Utd is at least as smart as David Ornstein and already knows this and are working around it.
The easy solution to that is that the shares Ratcliffe buys maintain their B status. The clause says they would be converted to A shares so you just remove that clause and Ratcliffe becomes the controlling party.
No way Jim is buying the club without having a majority voting rights, makes no sense, c'mon.
They can change the mechanism to include Ratcliffe in the mix
Settle down Sheikh bin Berbasbullet.
Yes, and doing so gives him 66.49% of the B shares and therefore an unchallengeable majority.
