My understanding is leveraged buyouts aren't legal anymore anyway.

Stock price has had its highest % pump in a day in over 10 years.
I can't believe it
Steve Ballmer as well, American connection is there.
Happened to Burnley recently
I'm just hoping that's the club (the Glazers) slipping it out there to start up a bidding war. Otherwise it could be out of the frying pan into the fire...
Maybe if the glazers were just looking for investment then maybe they would prefer another US investor but with a full sale then surely money talks. Why make the market smaller for no benefit.
I honestly don’t think this is true. We can have all the ad rates we wanted, it’s never making 6b for them. It has to do with the value of the club and if they could invest more to value us more. New stadium, training ground, competing with City etc would be eye watering but would it add much more to 6b? Is it worth doing all that to bring it to say 7b and cut into their profit?
UNPOPULAR OPINION: But new owners should build a new stadium, we need a top of the range modern best in class new stadium!
Honestly we need a stadium that rivals Tottenhams

That was a great scoop by the Sky News reporter. Amazingly no one else got hold of the story either, not even David Ornstein
Relax guys it'll just be another US investment group I'm afraid to say
The US investors thing may be just a red herring for all we know. I’m sure it’s to entice someone non-US into doing something personally.
A state owner is just anti competitive and therefore inherently wrong. I dunno if Dubai ownership would force me to hand in my season ticket and sever ties with the club like a Saudi ownership would, but it'd definitely change things.

No way is anything done by then. On the contrary, it likely means no investment in January at all.
id be surprised if it was any ‘investor’ and not an oil person tbh
Pretty much. They've reached the point of maximum value for them - now is the time to jump ship.
The competition is only getting more fierce and big investment is required in the future.
Tbf, aren't most of the bigger journos in Qatar? Matey boy lucked out big time by being left at home.
It makes zero sense from a business perspective unless it means only a US based consortium can afford it (assuming they arent entertaining oil states because of the bad PR)
Glazers are definitely going to advertise their price to talksport. Multi-billion investors regularly get their news from them 
Why would Glazers sell if Glazers MK2 were to come in, dont they face the same issues?
I can't believe I'm not going to look back through many posts to checkI cant believe its only been posted 4 times
Yep, nice story to get.
If you put it on pay per view we could buy the club ourselves
Fantastic
Give it Giggsy until the end of the decade
Ambani gets rumoured with Liverpool buyout time and again for some reason.
Can Chinese buy us? They did reportedly bid previously.
Maybe if there’s hope of hosting a Superb Owl in a new stadium in Trafford.
If we’re going to be owned by some petro-state’s sovereign wealth fund, I vote that it’s Norway.
I can only get to £5.9mil, i’m out.
Isn't it easier business that Glazers lower price for amount of debt and then new owner do what he wants with dept?
No Saudi's or Elon, if this is true
