Depends on the context I suspect. In pregnancy it's roughly 12 weeks, or a third. In academia it's one of the three terms, autumn spring or summer, so again a third.

All of these are based on a year, that's the context. Trimester means a period of three months, not a third, a trimester is a fourth of a year and also a set of three consecutive months.
 
Q1 of 2023 is January, February and March of 2023. It's not as complicated as you tedious know-alls are trying to make it sound.

spot on.

honestly im laughing the last few pages have been a discussion over the meaning of Q1. Only this place:lol:

Right, I was thinking of academia, where three terms in a year would make it a third of a year, not three months, but having thought again they might well have had three months off, so that would fit then..
 
He clearly mention Q1 of 2023. That is Jan to March. He isnt financial reporter, so if it was April to June, he would have mentioned it.

Not signing big money players make sense as the new owners would want it as their statement signing. Loan if reasonable for Felix is fine and if we can get a RB on loan as well, then we are good for 2nd half of the season
 
Guess you are someone who buys a brand new set of tires right before you sell your car just as a gesture of goodwill for a new owner.

If I sold the car for 100 000 and it would cost me 100 to change the tires, sure, why not. Out of sentiment for my good, old 17-year-old car. But bad analogy anyway. There aren't millions of people who love my car.
 
Ornstein might be respected but he's a huge attention whore.

That statement is Romano levels of waffle.
 
Like you I'd love to interpret it in the positive way I hope it was meant. That was my initial take. I'm a great overthinker though. At times like this when you want something so much you start to think things can be too good to be true so start to look at the half empty approach. It's not easy being me!

fingers crossed it’s all good mate

$50m is hardly a $100. Point is, nobody in their right mind would spend such amount of money on something they are looking to sell soon unless it increases the asset value which in this case it will not, certainly not by that amount.
 
So which is it lads? Is Q1 from January to March or April to June? :lol:

January to March. Generally to avoid confusion, reporters will mention the new financial or new fiscal year if they are talking about those calendars.
 
I may be over interpreting but I don’t think I’d see a transition to some investment consortium as a “seismic event” in the clubs history given our current ownership.

Maybe I’m giving him too much credit but that quote from Ornstein makes me think oil state ownership.

It's obviously Jan to March, not because of one convention or another but because Stone mentioned early spring and June is not early spring.

Agreed, if he isn't talking from his backside then it sounds like United are getting a benevolent owner.

Yes this is also how it's understood in corporate with distribution / supply chain. I know in accounting the new year for the UK is April however if someone told me that Manchester United are selling their business in Q1 I would also assume January-March.
 
Some are desperate for it to be before end of January because they think that means £200m to spend. It's so transparent. Hahaha
Some people are desperate to look smarter than they are. Guess which description you fit?
 
I’m no Sherlock Holmes’s but If we’re being bought in Q1 which is on the Gold Coast in Australia it surely points to Rupert Murdoch being back in for us, seriously guys have a word with yourselves.

A building which is owned by Sunland Group who have a history of doing business investments in Dubai (albeit some shady ones). I think you are on to something here.

Yes I agree with above posters it's hardly groundbreaking,however it's from a tier 1 source which is significant.

If you listen/watch the actual segment (it's in the Felix thread in the transfer forum), he actually says 'seismic event in the clubs history' and specifically says it with reference to the fans wanting rid of the Glazers for the longest, so there's really nothing new there, unfortunately.

The 'expect big news soon' is interesting but nothing much beyond that
