Do the six Glazers all have equal shares, and therefore equal say in what happens?

Hasn’t the value of the club, and therefore their investments, soared since Malcom died?
I'm just trusting some of what is reported on the basis that hopefully some of these journalists do get some inside info. They've said SJR has held positive talks, nothing saying he's being used to try to get more from SJ.
To be fair, just because you are born into money doesn't make you dumb/not as smart. If anything they tend to have a much better education and grow up in the 'right circles'
Well that bout of optimism lasted a long time. I really don’t fancy being right on this one.
I'm having a pretty crappy day at work but you've put a smile on my face with that one
Malevolent till the end.
Eight weeks before the season starts. A very real danger that no new signings come in.
Class B shares become class A shares when sold to anyone outside the Glazer family. Meaning they no longer have 10 times the voting power when acquired by SJR or SJ
That's down to being in the Premier league. Nothing to do with these leeches
Tell me one thing they have done right under their ownership. They have failed upwards, and that's down to their dad being savvy enough buying the club. All of them are morons.
Shares are going up now $19.36 and rising which is interesting
Totally agree this is 50/50 so sone might be setting themselves for future misery !
It isn’t what is expected at all, and likely not true. If we are not taken over until Autumn, we will still sign players this summer. Just as we have done every other summer in which we haven’t been taken over.
Not strictly true. There is a mechanism for them to be transferred with their voting rights. Something around selling to an “affiliate”. I think essentially a private sale of them is possible, what they are protected against I’m not sure, maybe it’s a way of avoiding other siblings losing voting control if one sibling is forced to sell.
Along with every other football club on the planet. Relative to our peers we are falling.
Don’t give false credit.
Right, but from their point of view, they’ve done the right thing in waiting until now to consider selling, whilst in the meantime they’ve taken consistent dividends out and not had to put anything in.
I see JP Morgan is in the news for some vile stuff. That's the company Brexit Jim and Ineos are gonna get the loan from. Same place Glazers got in bed with to put us in debt
The due diligence phase that was reported to happen once second bids were in? The due diligence that INEOS have been going through with United representatives according to Whitwell.
Yeah I wouldn't worry about that due diligence.
My point is that you can shop outside the global stars market and still be a success. The Glazers/Woodward's obsession with signing those players have cost us in more ways than one.
Pre 2005, Fergie tried and failed to sign the players you mentioned but things didn't exactly turn out badly did they? Yes, he was a genius but it proved to be the best method to sustained success.
On a wider point, in recent times there has been a strange development where transfers/deadline day etc have seemingly become more important than football. People talking "winning" the transfer window. What does that even mean? I heard a Newcastle fan claim that finishing in the top 4 is more important than winning the FA/League Cup because it attracts better signings. How on earth has this sport reached a point where acquiring new players is seen as being more important than actually winning something. Especially for a team that has been starved of success for so long.
You could read the rest of the thread and then comment
It's the largest bank in the world
also theyve played a blinder in that the current offers on the table are significantly (to the the tune of hundreds of millions) higher than they were a few months ago.
So is the stock going to go up or down at 2:30?
I can see EtH walking away if the takeover keeps dragging out and player signing becomes conditional to the sale completing.. setting up for failure if we can't move on purchases by July
Day 3568 in the big brother house and Ben Jacobs like most of the journalists haven’t a scooby doo what’s happening .
First time poster long time reader.
Something that hasn’t been mentioned.
Should the Glazers sell to SJR they’ll lose over 100m on Class A shares.
A pervious poster claimed Glazers own 193m worth of class A shares selling at 28 dollars a share. Should they sell to SJR those shares will tank and probably only be worth 13/14 dollars a share. Makes no sense to sell to Jim if both offers are similar even if the two boys want to stay.

I see the share price has gone back up to where it was in May. Market no longer quite so sure about a SJR partial purchase. Worth keeping an eye on.

Transfer ban was obvious thing. Even one transfer (lets say Mount) is investment worth over 100 mil in a long term. Not to mention other transfers (striker, full back, defender) which could end with over 300 mil investment for new owners. Despite the fact that they would agree over those targets.
Glazers on the other hand, don't want invest and basically throw money away (if they are serious to sell club now).
Yep, we are losing time here. If this will not be over soon, clubs will demand silly money from new owners when they start buying players.
Glazers.....their last "feck you fans".

Agreed. I’ve always thought of them as brats without a shred of business acumen between them.
If Avram & Joel think they’re being shrewd, then they should also realise that the situation could potentially backfire on them if they think they can carry on and choose to do nothing.
People make tongue-in-cheek comparisons to Succession but it's really not that much of a stretch.
I see them mostly as Connors though, not even one of them is close to Kendall.
Flat ish i reckon
The Glazers don't give a feck about the club and success. They care about how much they can squeeze out of it. I can see this one dragging until next season if the Glazers think they can keep the bidding war between Qatar and Ineos.
That would be disastrous for us as a club but if that means an extra dollar for them they won't care.

Last night I dreamt Qatar was announced. I was in a tile store shopping for an armchair. Make of that what you will.
A worryingly high amount of our fans seem to have zero understanding of the club's history.
People seem to think a Sheikh buying us is better than the Treble. Again, back to my previous post about obsession with transfers.
The poster seems to think we won the league in 92.

No out its very rare that transfers happen in the midst of a takeover. Namely becuase it impacts ths value of the club if the suddenly spent 100 million. I would be surprised to see any transfers take place before this is settled.
I’m sure Utd would have a lot more bids if we were being sold at the chelsea price as opposed to a world record £6 billion.
Probably because the majority of people voting were either not born or too young when we won the treble 24 years ago and even more so when we won the first title in the 90s.
That and Twitter users in general are dumb as feck.
