Does that mean anything?
The grin from Jassim means he's won.

That angle of the pointing finger in Qatar means “I have agreed a deal for nearly £6bn with the Glazers to purchase Manchester United entirely”.Does that mean anything?
Also pointing to his pockets. That’s where Jim is.That angle of the pointing finger in Qatar means “I have agreed a deal for nearly £6bn with the Glazers to purchase Manchester United entirely”.
It’s a very old Qatari proverb.

Don’t be silly. You can’t fit that in a single pocket. It would weigh 10 tonnes.Time he dipped into that pocket and offered £6bn in total not £5.5bn then isn't it
That’s where his hold iPhone is, that’s all he needs. One swipe of that gold finger and he will be the man with the golden clubDon’t be silly. You can’t fit that in a single pocket. It would weigh 10 tonnes.

Jassim should start an only fans, his pics are the valuable!

If Mr Burns has a trillion dollar bill, surely ol’Jassim is good for a fist full of Billy’s?Don’t be silly. You can’t fit that in a single pocket. It would weigh 10 tonnes.

Depends who, if anyone, wins the auction.Out of interest does anyone own Man Utd shares? The market cap is 3 billion and the talk is of 6 billion bids so it seems like a good risk reward or am I missing something?
Tbf finding out your not overpaying by a couple of billion £ could also be viewed as good news.You don’t smile like that unless you have received some good news
Think the Glazers will not sell the club. It was said that they were just trying to estimate the value of the club to see if they can get a good fee, but I suppose that 5B is not enough for them.
Frustration will grow even bigger towards them, no investment again this summer and they will probably not back Ten Hag this summer.
It's another example of how poor they are at running (ruining) the club.
A couple of weeks after round 3 (officially the final round of bidding - deadline 28 April), the bidders still had not received any feedback, but the Qataris were presumably hearing the same things as the media (ie that Ineos were significantly ahead and were probably about to be granted exclusivity) and therefore Qatar contacted the Glazers directly (bypassing Raine) to put in a new bid outside the formal bidding process that eclipsed their third round bid. That was on Monday 15 May.
Precise figures are hard to come by, but reports have indicated that the additional bid that the Qataris submitted directly to the Glazers, still falls short the bid that Ineos submitted in the third round of the formal bidding process.
A further two weeks have gone by and nobody has really heard anything - we do know that United's board of directors met on Thursday last week to discuss the ongoing process, but no resolution was achieved. It has again been reported that Ineos are still ahead (one assumes that the Qataris have one last chance to at least match the Ineos third round bid, but if they fail or if no '5th round' Qatari bid is forthcoming, I'd guess we'll hear shortly after the cup final that Ineos have won and Avram & Joel are staying on in minority roles - no more matches until August will minimise the potential for disruptive protests).
Unless there was a belief a higher bid may yet come in from one of the two interested parties.So anyone else thinking they are waiting for the season to end to announce no sale or Minority sale to hedge fund?
Because it means they can avoid the initial backlash entirely as there won't be any fans around for another 3 months.
At this point if the club was being sold there'd be a preferred bidder by now imo

The Board meeting seems to suggest they are not yet comfortable with the Ineos/SJR bid, despite them supposedly being in the lead. Yes, could be an attempt to squeeze more from SJ, but who is really behind his bid? It’s looking less likely (to me) that this is a state backed bid. Doubt they would lose out to Ineos if it were. Looking a bit of a mess all round.A couple of weeks after round 3 (officially the final round of bidding - deadline 28 April), the bidders still had not received any feedback, but the Qataris were presumably hearing the same things as the media (ie that Ineos were significantly ahead and were probably about to be granted exclusivity) and therefore Qatar contacted the Glazers directly (bypassing Raine) to put in a new bid outside the formal bidding process that eclipsed their third round bid.

Surely if it’s a minority sale it will be to INEOS. I don’t see what a hedge fund can offer that their bid can’t. Hell, INEOS will even upgrade/rebuild the stadium for them without them having to spend a penny.So anyone else thinking they are waiting for the season to end to announce no sale or Minority sale to hedge fund?

Is there any reason to believe INEOS would have any interest in a minority stake?Surely if it’s a minority sale it will be to INEOS. I don’t see what a hedge fund can offer that their bid can’t. Hell, INEOS will even upgrade/rebuild the stadium for them without them having to spend a penny.
I think it’s down to Jassim or Jim now.
Yeah okay, I used the wrong terminology, my bad. You know what I mean. As on J&A staying on - it’s kinda a have cake and eat it offer.Is there any reason to believe INEOS would have any interest in a minority stake?
I wasn't trying to nit-pick, I think the person you were responding to is imagining the Glazers wishing to retain a controlling stake.Yeah okay, I used the wrong terminology, my bad. You know what I mean. As on J&A staying on - it’s kinda a have cake and eat it offer.

Great summary on the process from the last couple of weeks however the figure isnt known from the latest bid from Qatar however it’s enough to mean that INEOS wasn’t picked then and there.
I don’t think the Glazers have made a decision and it will rumble on through the summer , they are likely playing cat and mouse for a 5th and final offer to push above the INEOS deal. If they don’t they will take the INEOS deal so basically we are waiting, they are waiting and Qatar is waiting to receive feedback.
There is also rumblings that the Abu Dhabi group or the Saudis can’t remember which have a 9% stake in Raine , that is more than enough to piss off the Qataris and make any deal take twice as long.
It’s all a mess.
Qatar dealing with Glazers direct who have instructed Raine to handle the process therefore they would miss out on commission I imagine there’s a hefty fine in their agreement for that?
INEOS dealing with Raine , less cash up front but a promise of paying a bit more per share , it doesn’t seem like a solid deal to me…
Either way I think we’re about 2/3 months out from resolution and it will likely need one of the bidders to back away.
I have seen an insane amount of misinformation about how this functions, and your post has literally inspired me to create an account to reply after lurking for a long time.Out of interest does anyone own Man Utd shares? The market cap is 3 billion and the talk is of 6 billion bids so it seems like a good risk reward or am I missing something?
Van Der Sar leaving Ajax, construction work underway at Carrington, Neymar linked, just all a coincidence right??
Suspect there will be an announcement not long after the cup final that indeed it is Qatar who are the new overlords.
Or, I just got my end away, twiceThere are many things you can read from this picture:
He is wearing a gold robe - it means he already celebrates United's successful future
He has a halo around his head - he is a holy and good man.
But wait a minute...the glory is false - he is a false prophet. Bad news for United.
He smiles and points downwards - this shows which way City will go
There are 2 hearts and he looks directly at them - we win the double next season
Absolutely feck all happening is there
Keep saying after Cup Final,however if we get no news at all then that's not a good sign
