Surely it'd be Old Trafford Prime and I love the sound of that
At least getting Gonzalo Ramos would be a lock.
Will the players need to participate in "promotional" activities?
The commercials if OT gets a big screen…
Oh snap! We'll be signing Goncalo Ramos after all.
Wowwww
Welcome to Manchester, Oil States
Big quotes from EtH
BBC saying we’re unlikely to hear anything substantive until after the festive period. Definitely looks like stuff is happening though.
Dont believe anything until Romano says "Here we Go!!" and says he knew it all along
That's only three weeks maybe four. I can handle that. Of course we could well be getting close to believable rumour time if things are progressing.
Well, I've had a couple of beers. I can dream.
You installed spy ware on my Amazon ?
There’s a former player or 2 who took this to another level
Damn Richie Rich you got nowhere to hide now, ba-by
Lets be honest, it's not unexpected. But how do we know if Arnold will be on the job long? And a new guy would inevitability want to make his own imprint and have his own ideas? He may not have the same relationship with ETH as Arnold does since it was Arnold who hired ETH.#
New owner/s, a trusted new person at the top to manage the new owner's investment. This happens all the time.
Some people are jumping to conclusions thinking that a deal is nearly done. Surely any new owner would mean more investment than we're currently getting. Think Ten Hag is just referring to that than anything specific.
Well done pub guy. The time spent with Marge Simpsons yielded some results after all.

Yeah I’m reading these quotes as investment not outright sale unless I’m missing something.
Between the lines Arnold expects to be their post investment to continue the same job as they were before.

While its good to be informed about this, other clubs now know we have the money.
Yeah its sounds like their looking to sell certain percentage of their shares which would be reinvested into the club. I always felt this was the first option the Glazers would go for instead of an outright sale.
Indeed. And the same would of course also apply to a partial sale with the Glazers remaining in overall control. The purpose of this action is to secure external investment, so there will inevitably be more money (at least in the short term), because that is the only way the club can fund the stadium refurb.
I felt positive when I saw the Ten Hag comments on Twitter because I thought they were indicating that a new owner is expected imminently. (*Not minority*)
But now, having read a couple of the responses in here!
Speculating that Richard Arnold’s comments to ETH elude more to the Glazers securing the investment they have been after, as opposed to agreeing an outright sale. I’m feeling a bit deflated.
It does seem to sound like this is heading towards being only a partial sale of some of the leeches shares. Which although it’s better than nothing (maybe?) would still be so disappointing. I don’t think I can stomach much more of these Glazer cnuts…

Whereas our riches have always been a big secret before.
While not ideal. Could be a start, the new investors slowly buy more shares. Or in the future the glazers sell their remaining shares to another group. Maybe 50% fund 50% rich multi billionaire could be better then 100% of either.
There's nothing in the BBC article suggesting it's going to be a partial sale. All they're saying is that if something substantive happens, it'll happen after the festive period is over.
The rest of the article is about ten Hag saying he needs significant funds to compete against the best teams in the league. And without significant funds he can't effectively plan and strategize against the other top clubs in the league.
Richard Arnold isn't saying anything out of the ordinary either. Whether he stays or goes, significant investment is absolutely required and that is what the Glazers are trying to bring in to the club. And imo, that investment is most likely coming via a full sale, because I'm not sure anyone is daft enough to invest multi millions of £££, and leave the Glazers with the controlling stake in the club.

Chris Wheeler: "A takeover by Apple, Amazon or Google would put United on another level after a turbulent 17 years under Glazer ownership following their leveraged buyout in 2005"
"In the case of Amazon, its £30m-a-year TV deal with the Premier League is unlikely to be an obstacle to buying United - as it was when the monopolies commission blocked BSkyB's £623m bid in 1999 - because the club's listing on the New York Stock Exchange effectively makes it an American company"
Can't decide if this suggests Glazers have found significant outside investment or an actual buyer
Fake news since @RedDevilUnited369 already said it won't be Amazon. And it sounds like he is an insider.
Or the glazers using Arnold/ETH to make it sound that there is a lot of potential buyers to fish out the actual serious ones now.
Surprised by ETH talking so openly. Too good to be true.
I hope not, because a Amazon or Google takeover would potentially be exciting. I think there's been some sort of denial from Apple, but Amazon have refused to comment.
Hopefully something transpires with either Amazon or Google.
Even now our core players are having a good world cup, add to that is more money for investment under Ten Hag in near future minus the fecking clueless owners in Glazers. It's the kind of stuff that makes you cream your football pants.
A big article came out on Monday, by The Athletic, to say how Joel and Avram couldn't raise funds for a buyout of their siblings, and the reasons behind they are now selling.
Why do people keep going on about Glazers getting investment and not a full sale, when most, if not all reports, say sale. No one has given any credible reasons as how a "partial sale" would actually work. I mean, actual credible reason and not just fantasy stuff.
