They got just over £5b instead of £6b
More excuses already
Simon Stone:
BBC Sport has been told the offer from Sheikh Jassim is around £5bn and includes one figure that would go direct to the sellers.
Again, is the figure of 5bn going directly to the Glazers? That's what's not clear.
Anyway, I just hope we know the result by Monday latest.
Correct, it's PR to get the fans on board and to put more pressure on the Glazers.
That would be astonishing bid, that would value the whole club at close to £7bn
Season ticket holders need to just quit with the constant moaning and gibbering and invest in some quality waterproof jackets. Sick of it.The heartache if they go with Sir Jim and we reminisce about this very day thinking about Jassim completely overhauling Old Trafford and Carrington and taking us back to the top, all the while the roof still leaks with Jim is trying to scrounge a few more quid to patch it up again as we languish in midtable
Yeah that seems pretty self explanatory.
Bloomberg:
Sheikh Jassim’s bid consists of a sum that will go to the sellers if successful, plus additional sums that will go into the club for infrastructure investments, one of the people said.
And wellies for using the conveniences!
Sounds like a band
You always reach for the sky and that's good enough for me.
Correct. Total package of investment close to 10 billion dollars.
No but Ratcliff keep the glazers on, don’t repay debt, and add more debt.
Heard their first single is a cover of Highway to Hell.
Like I said. They never gave a feck what the fans think of them. They’ll give even less of a feck after they sell up.
Jim will be able to help with that as Ineos own Belstaff.
Leeches, please feck off. At least do one thing right by the club. You've had enough blood sucking.
Well, I usually like things stated clearly when I'm reading about numbers but I guess it's implied. Simon Stone is also not known for his clarity in comms.
But £5bn for the club is insane. Surely that's well above what Ratcliffe was offering given that his figure included debt, so less net for the Glazer rats.
I cannot see how the two Glazers that want to stay convince the rest to follow Ratcliffe.
Suggests to me that they're not confident their bid will be accepted if they are trying to play that card.
Obviously the Glazers don't give a shit abiut the extra 3 billion. But a bid that would value Joel and avi's supposed 20% they'd keep at 1.4bn pounds would be absolute insanity to turn down
Glazers won’t care what happens to the club
All they care about is how much they get
As I understood, Glazers wouldn’t be responsible for paying off the debt before they go anyway?
So Sheikh Jassim offering to pay the debt doesn’t really help their offer be accepted, right?

a very very shit one
The least ETH deserves. Not just to get his first choice targets and squad players. But also to sell the likes of Maguire, McTominay, Martial etc
Another way to look at it is that they're trying to pre-empt the inevitable controversy surrounding their bid. Helpful to get the fans on board and start on the right foot.
They got all parties to sign NDAs with Ratcliffe and the Sheikh being told to shut up after they announced their bids with statements implicitly criticising their ownership so they obviously do care about the PR.
Why wouldn’t it all go to the sellers?
This is local rain provided by a local fan. They should pay for it
NDAs are ubiquitous in M&A - nothing to do with PR in this case.
It does
Wouldn't there be tax savings to the Glazers if the sale price doesn't include the debt?
Would Rainie group not be due a fair amount of it?
There is zero chance of it been Monday
Okay. And What about telling them to shut up when they announced their bids because it made them look bad?
Its unlikely but not zero chanceThere is zero chance of it been Monday
Swear to fecking god I'll scream if we end up with a de facto Ratcliff/Glazer partnership.
Qatari's seem to be the only show in town regards a full sale
