The Glazers have a much contact with the media as they do sunlight. Anyone claiming to have an inside track on their thoughts is a bullshitter
I understand being a mod is difficult sometimes and that you have many considerations to make, but when United is potentially going to be state owned, I'm not sure I agree that a discussion around that specific state is of topic in a thread about the sale of Manchester United. But thanks for the warning (and the 1 point received). You are the bosses, and I take note of that I in this thread, no longer can express why I am against a Qatari ownership.
Too much common sense mate.
I agree it's bizarre to forcibly limit criticism of Qatari human rights record in this thread. But if people are banging on then a separate thread would be a nice courtesy.
You can discuss it as much as you like, in an appropriate thread in the CE.
When do you think we'll see the first fan at Old Trafford with "human rights" on the back of his shirt?
When do you think we'll see the first fan with "oil me up" on the back of his shirt?

Never been oiled up by a Hugh Munrites?
It'll probably descend into chaos as people go off topic to discuss the sale of Manchester United.
I do think there are valid points relating to the sale of the club that should involve discussions about Qatar given they will be using the club to promote themselves and to clean their image.
But I don't think that's the issue, it's more the weird game of oppressive top trumps over who's worse.

Agreed. There are obviously nuanced debates about the moral pros and cons about potential state ownership which are perfectly fair game. If however things get consistently political to where it drowns out the central topic of the thread, then it’s best to move those discussions to the CE.
I reckon they'll want to be in charge for the next world cup because it's in America
Disappointing lack of journos rehashing their deeply non-committal articles this evening.
Sack 'em all and bring in the nutters Berbaclass follows, I say.

There are other threads specifically about Qatari/state ownership - find one and post there
Although as far as I'm concerned the state of Qatar is not bidding to buy our club anyway
While there is no news, I do wonder if a deal could have already been angreed and all parties are keen to keep it under wraps until our league position is finalised.
I think any kind of assault is just not on. But I am disgusted at how much they don't give a fig about the club. Our ownership has been in limbo for months and our dealings are in stasis.
Seeing as there's a lack of news I'll make some up:
Del Boy enters race to buy Manchester United
Of the two it has to be the Qataris. Debt wiped...proper investment...and no Glazers. Radcliffe has nowhere near the financial muscle of the Qataris.
What if 4 of them leave,no actually that's not cause for a celebration until they all go
No, that cannot happen. United are listed on the NYSE and therefore have disclosure and reporting obligations to the NYSE and the SEC - any information which might reasonably be expected to materially affect the price of the company stock or influence investment decisions, must be released publicly and promptly. And no, player transfers do not count (but a change in ownership absolutely would)!
If a deal is struck, we'll know about it within hours, not weeks.
Think you have it absolutely spot on
Likewise. I'd spit on his back. Like I have said previously, if purge day ever came to being, he would be in a world of shit. Presuming I got there first.
I'm not sure what the difference is or where you draw the line. But I agree most of us are bored of hearing about the Qataris being a bunch of medieval human rights abusers even if it's true so fair enough. It doesn't need saying over and over again. Personally I'm more concerned about how they turned PSG into a circus.
Is that a Yeats quote?
Haven't heard that one in 20 years.
Glazer is in a coma, I know
I know, it's serious

Have murdered them
But you know, I would hate
Anything to happen to them...
It would be nice if this thread stay on topic from now.
Watched Anka on The Brew Stretford Paddock podcast and he seems surprised that neither Ratcliffe/Jassim have met the price yet
It’s called negotiation and it’s pretty common. Holy hell Anka.
Why’s this taking so long? Any chance it will collapse or has it gone to far for that to happen?
Investment is needed regardless so it all depends how much the Glazers want to give up, some or all of the club.
The only chance it will collapse is probably if the Glazers don´t think the bids are high enough (but I guess at least Jassim could go a bit higher) or if they really are just looking for a partial sale.
But I really think, and hope, they will feck off if they feel the bid is good enough
If Jim wins I really don't think the value of the club will sky rocket in the 2-3 coming years. Cuz of that I don´t think Avram and Joel would make any major profit in staying for a few more years before Jim buys them out.
Also I really belive the other 4 sibblings really want out now and get the cash straight away and not a smaller payment here and there.
Because the Glazers are indecisive dithering tossers who don't know what they're doing. I bet by now everyone involved in this process is sick of them
I am now afraid that the Glazers have long chosen the minority investment option and are just waiting for the end of the season to minimize the fall out from the announcement.
Technically speaking they are more LNG state Liquified Natural Gas rather than Oil State. That sounds a lot better doesn't it.
They know exactly what they are doing.
I don't see how minority investment is on table. For a start is a short term fix they can't keep seeking minority investment every 3 to 5 years.
Secondly I think they'll be aware if they don't end up selling this time, in the future if they do they'll have done considerable harm to the future price they could get a many potential suitors would simply decline to waste their time thinking the offer of a sale wasn't made in good faith and instead another ploy to entice more minority investment.
