Nobody knows currently which is why there is a bit of apprehension with his bid.
Club Sale | It’s done!

I can't believe I was on holiday in late March wondering if I'd miss the announcement, and now I wouldn't be surprised that I'll be in literal Qatar in July and this will still be rumbling on 
After all the bluster from pro Qatar fans about blowing Ratcliffe out the water...
And it's not a nickname, it's an observational insult because we're clearly not dealing with Qatars finest here...
Mostly likely a loan like most normal clubs do. Increased hospitality/naming rights then more than pay this back over a period of time.
Absolutely incredible that so many of you are twerking for this level of shadiness to take over the reigns. Would he ever even attend OT if he was successful? Big red flags over him.
A repayment loan is fine if the increased revenue covers the cost of the loan which it surely will do.
The Glazers just had interest only loans - never relayed the capital just serviced the debt.
However, cost of borrowing has gone up a lot lately……
£800m on planned investment doesn't seem much considering his apparent grand plans. What does that cover?
A new stadium alone would be north of a billion. Does it include the training ground, women's team, youth team and signings too?

Yep it's less than half of what Ratcliffe was going to invest in Chelsea.
Laurie Whitwell has never been close to the Qatar bidding process.
Its hilarious you are cherry picking tweets to try and fit a narrative.
From what I’m reading it’s for the training ground
, the club and surrounding areas in the community
Yes, in fact.
From DHGate that
He is reliable because he's able to use his brain to interpret what people are saying and not be used as a PR machine for shady bidders unlike others.
Yes, in fact.
Oh look, you've found one of the 3 known photos of Jassim in existence. Gold medal for you!
He is not reliable on Qatar because he doesn't know what's happening on that side. That's why he said there is mistique on their side.
If you listen to his podcasts he and Crafton and Mitten even caveat they aren't close to that process.
The other 4 Glazer siblings will want a full buyout so if the state bid is highest its a done deal.
There's the danger of legal challenges from the shareholders who own the 31% that are listed, the other 4 siblings won't want that.

They're each individual shareholders and are free to do as they please with their shares.
Think we are all sick and tired of this saga now.
Probably by looking to get costs to a minimum and borrowing more.money. Joel and Avram will be able to help with that from their board seats
The other 4 Glazer siblings?
Mate - you and @Remix are the most ITK on here
How would you know the insight without reading the article?
What worries me about the Jassim bid is the secrecy and lack of transparency.
If everything was above board he would have launched a PR campaign to sway fans.
Every supposed photo I've seen of him looks photoshopped.

This thread would be a great example for anyone studying confirmation bias (I include myself in that assessment).
Yes. Each is entirely separate from the other. They do not work as one entity.
Several have already sold chunks of their shares over the years, they do not require permission from the others to do so.
So if 4 want a full sale, then a full sale is the sale of their individual holdings.
Yes, in fact.
instant meme/gif classic
If they just wanted a list price they wouldn't be going through all this. The aim is to drive the price up, you don't do that by disclosing rival bids. The companies advising them all certainly don't. As @devilish says you might get an indication at best.
If SJR has bid 90 and the Qataris come in with a bid of 100, if they tell him the exact figures then SJR will up his bid to 101. If they tell him nothing, or that he's a 20% off, he might up his bid to 110. That's why you don't tell him.
How many times has the owner of City attended games? Doesn’t matter if he comes or not. What matters is the club being in a position to succeed, which is what would happen with Qatar.
Don’t understand why this would be a joke?Please tell me you’re joking
Very different to the criticism that the Glazers get about never being at games and only turning up to cup finals
Dear me, thanks for stating the obvious.
Read it. It's essentially what you've seen here repeated with reference to our camera shy Sheik.
Everyone say Qatari's will go and buy Spurs if they lose out here. Liverpool also come into that reckoning.
That would be terrible to think of.

Just surprised the Qatari's haven't spoken to the major shareholders who own the 31% that are listed and negotiated.
Give the Glazers their 6 billion valuation of the club which gives them 4.14b.
If the Qatari's offer is 5.6b that leaves the 31% with an 80% upside on current share price which I'd like to think most would be happy with.

We don’t know much about Qatari happenings..
So it’s mystique..shady mystique.
It’s funny when this gets trotted out and you ask well what other well known Qatari bankers should these people know as if Elon Musk is the norm.
And it's not in the buyer's interest to disclose their bids either. Which is why the so-called leaks that have become established facts for so many gullible posters are complete bollocks. No quotes not facts.
