Yes, they'll get a premium for their shares if Qatar's bid wins.Surely they're already in the money? Greedy fecks want more perhaps

How did the Manchester City Group do at all the other clubs that they own?
Melbourne City? (100%)
Montevideo City Torque? (100%)
Troyes AC? (100%)
Lommel SK? (99%)
EC Bahia? (90%)
New York City? (80%)
Palermo? (80%)
Mumbai City? (65%)
Girona? (47%)
Sichuan Jiuniu? (29,7%)
Yokohama F. Marinos? (20%)
And what effect did that have on what they did at Manchester City? I don’t think what they do at one club really matters for other clubs, they are different clubs, as Nice is totally different in size, ambition and potential to Manchester United. They only own Nice since 2019, maybe a bit soon to judge there?
The Nice fans don’t seem that unhappy about what Ineos did in the last years:

I’m really not sure Jim buys the rest of the shares since the only reason he’s paying Glazers so much is because he only wants 51 percent.Lindsell Train LTD and Ariel LC own 17 million shares currently valued at $18 per share. Imagine after SJ takeover the shares go to $28 that’s $170m profit they could potentially lose in a depressed markets, they won’t win but they will send lawyers after the Glazers, this makes things messy in an already messy takeover process, have all 6 Glazers got the stomach for this, I’m not sure. It’s maybe more palatable for SJR to buy the 69% and show a process to taking the club private afterwards. The reality is that everything just stays the same as now 2 weeks into the future destroying ETH chance of improving the First Team Squad.
Puts any questions of Jassim not being state backed to bed so.
So the hedge funds are betting on Qatar then. Interesting
Also why the hell is the PSG president doing the talks? Can Jassim do anything? Will he call the PSG president every time a decision on United would be made?Puts any questions of Jassim not being state backed to bed so.
Basically saying that Glazers want to sell to Qatar
To be fair if it’s a state bid then SJ is just a puppet so why would he have to be persuaded? Just have Qatar tell himHe's just a private investor lads, it's fine.
To me yes. Not to most on here.Hasn't that been clear for a while? They would've accepted the much higher bid according to the reports weeks ago if it weren't the case.
If you can’t read it then how can you say that?I can't read the article but I don't think there's anything concrete to substantiate it? Just the Athletic trying to associate the Qatar bid with failure.
But the PSG boss, one of the most powerful men in global football, has subsequently been contacted by the Glazers in an attempt to persuade Sheikh Jassim to increase his bid.
Al-Khelaifi, acting in an advisory role for Sheikh Jassim’s bid, has met the Glazers and Raine Group, the American bank that is conducting the sale on behalf of the Florida-based family, to discuss the proposed takeover.
Yes they're already trying to sell off upto 15%Does seem like once Qatar get a PL club (probably Liverpool in 2024) that they will just slowly feck off PSG
I’ve bothered to read the details and not just headlines?
Have you just ignored all the reports that say SJ's bids have undervalued the club compared to SJR's bids everytime, including the latest one?
To be fair the CL aspect has nothing to do with the FA. It’s a UEFA rule that has no bearing on FA allowing the takeover. It’s simply up to UEFA to decide if both can play in CL or notOther PL clubs can feck off. All is well in the PL so long as United are not at the top then?
There’s no way they can stop it if it’s actually happening. However it has often been one rule for us, another for the rest in the past. Rooney getting banned for swearing and him and scholes getting banned for red cards in pre season tooOther PL clubs can feck off. All is well in the PL so long as United are not at the top then?
