The club is in limbo ffs.

Referenced in video posted on page 1508 when Stretford Paddock did interview with Kieran Maguire. Remember it has been touted before about uncertainty of funds source.
Yeah this is an absolute shambles and poor Erik is trying to prepare for next season
I have no doubt hes real, I dont see why people want to see his ID or birth certificate or something but don't need to see SJRs.
Just a western thing I guess
Only the glazers could make selling United even more of a disaster than owning United.
The bolded part is where our opinions differ. In my view, I believe the volatility has been a function of the circumstances rather than inside information.
- Very small float for a company of this size.
- Being a Class A shareholder is not very appealing outside of a full takeover.
- High ceiling, low floor depending on the outcome.
- The media coverage of this process has resembled that of a transfer saga, rather than a plc seeking investment.
So it's not from the club, come on you can do better than that..
Maybe because one bloke has been in the public eye in the UK for years, and the other one has the same 2 or 3 photos on every news story about him because that's all that exists?
That's correct. And the stock price has reflected market perceptions of what was about to transpire. Each time it peaked above 26 was immediately following news and sentiment that Qatar was going to be successful in buying the club. Each time it fell was surrounding sentiment either of the other three scenarios may happen (INEOS or INEOS plus Glazers or Glazers don't sell at all)
Saw that earlier. Nick Speed was talking about it
These are not serious people. Their market cap is $8-9 million. They appear to own like $100,000 of the Class A and they expect the Board to meet with them to talk about ESG? Just a ploy to attach their names to Man United.
All hail Alfa Romeo
I think the stock market has reflected the PR game. Ratcliffe seems to be on top of things these last couple of weeks, whereas Jassim's gang have gone quiet.
Yes, as would be expected, and my take is that these perceptions simply follow the media coverage, a lot of which has been drivel (i.e. "Mark Ogden says Joel and Avram are reluctant to sell to anyone." Shares down 5%). I have not seen anything to suggest the activity is a precursor to anything. From memory, the only news throughout this entire saga I would actually consider meaningful has been:
- Qatari consortium bidding for 100%.
- INEOS bidding for 69%.
- INEOS offering a bid for control now, but less than a full Glazer buyout immediately.
- INEOS offer values the club higher than Qatari offer.
No, of course. But if the Glazer’s keep B shares - and why wouldn’t they - then they should chip in pro-rata to SJR. That’s why I think his deal will be difficult.
Jassim’s gang have been quiet the whole time… now they’ve gone SILENT.
Whether that’s ‘silent domination’, or the silence of failure is what remains to be seen…
Apparently suspicions were first raised about the credibility of Jassim as a bidder when the Raine Group were told they would need to create a ChatGPT account in order to communicate with him.
They kept on feeding Keegan but there's not much thesedays. Either it'll get sorted out at the end of this week, or it won't till later on. IMO. That's my two penneth.
Warning, you may not like but you can swallow the bitter pill now or later. Yasir Al-Rumayyan in 24 months has bought Newcastle and taken over Golf none of this is going to end well folks.
Its a qatari state funded bid and because of PSG they have put a quango company and figurehead up to say its different. In fact its documented the Emir is a Utd fan.
I’ve been thinking about it and I reckon, whoever takes over, it’ll be announced in the wake of City’s CL win…
If it’s Qatar, they will want to immediately trump City’s achievement by overriding them in the sports news.
Imagine City winning the treble and it being announced immediately that Utd is now backed by Qatar…
And if it’s Brexit Rat and his Glazer pals, they’ll want to sneak it in while the sports media is focussed on City to avoid bad press (this would be absolute classic Glazer style media tactics).
The more I think about it the more confident I am that’s how it’ll play out. The news will drop, either way, in the immediate wake of City’s treble.
It's true, it become very clear that the disastrous negotiations in the transfer market we have conducted have stemmed from Glazer's negotiating tactics, of basically waiting and hoping people come around to their way of thinking.
Zilliacus bowed out of the race to buy the club and recently said that he thinks the Glazers are staying. With that in mind, why are people still complaining about the fact that SJR might allow two or more of them to stay on in minority positions, in order to get control of the club?
Seriously, we're looking down the barrel of the Glazers remaining and potentially taking more finance on to cement their position, and still people wouldn't accept SJR in a majority, controlling position, just because the Glazers would remain in an insignificant capacity?

I’d rather they weren’t enabled and allowed to remain for longer.
I’d actually prefer for them to stay without backing and be FORCED to sell due to their epic failure than watch them bring in another Daddy figure to bail them out.
Either run the club that you were gifted, or leave, properly.

He's still in a prominent position within that country. There's probably a lot of info about the top guys at Bank of England, for example.
Unfortunately for us, tough shit. We can't force them to do anything. So SJR in majority control is better than them staying. That isn't them being bailed out. Them being bailed out is being bankrolled by a hedge fund, which will see them remain for another 20 years. That is a big possibility right now, in my opinion.
So what is the best outcome if these are the only options, as it's starting to look? There is a reason SJR made the offers he did, and that is because he knows they don't want to go.
Yeah have completely lost hope now
Leaks are surely less likely from those negotiating to buy the club.
Not your catchiest song
Also..assuming you’re correct, what happens if Inter win the CL?
To the masturbatorium!!
After the Saudi buyout of the PGA tour, you have to wonder what is the point of holding the “moral high ground”.
We’re going to get a billionaire owner one way or another. Might as well be one who pays off all our Glazer debts and builds us a new stadium.
Might even win a league title along the way.

They won’t. And everyone knows it.
What a shame you're only allowed to make 10 of these razor-sharp jokes a day. Truly, the Caf is worse off for it.
Someone's upset that their AI generated sheikh still hasn't paid up the 6 billion.
Well it’s the Glazers who would have this grand plan. They wouldn’t have a clue. For all they know Inter still have Brazilian Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos
How nice and welcoming of you.
Neither has king rat
