It doesn’t work that way.
Club Sale | It’s done!

Once exclusivity is granted, then I would think that its basically an intention to wrap the deal up, and other bids wouldn't be accepted, though knowing the Glazers if someone else offered a fiver more, they'd withdraw exclusivity
I'll take Reuters over the guys who's claimed Jim is winning for the last 6 months thank you very much
why would we need to cheat?
I can't believe it. It's finally over. The Glazers are... gone. Feels surreal even saying it. I never believed I would see the day.
Deffo. Someone said recently that this will all be revealed by the financial press rather than a sports journalist. You’d imagine a journalist at Reuters would have the contacts at the likes of Raine who could confirm this. The others wouldn’t have that access and I don’t think your usual club source would be much use for this type of deal.
They are negotiating the terms of the exclusive period. INEOS could put a spanner in the works if they put another bid in before they agree terms and enter the exclusive period.
Id rather have the Glazers own us than be a state backed club.
It's not about winning at all costs. You live and die by your decisions so long as you operate fairly. That fair part is gone from us now. I'll always support us, but I'd rather us get to where we go naturally and ethically through normal decisions - because when you do get it right, it all tastes so much better. For a multitude of reasons. You can ignore the problems of being the sportswashing puppet of a human rights violating state, and there are still loads of issues I have with a sugar daddy owner that I never wanted touching my club.
I don’t think he has been? He’s already been torn to shreds about his business registration misinformation?
Look at this
Nobody has said it’ll be done and dusted this week as far as I’m aware? if he means no formal announcement then he’s not disqualifying news like today so all parties wouldn’t confirm news to him if there were any? So what’s he trying to say here?
Are we going to pretend he has his source on speed dial to answer for every bit of news others break? Why doesn’t he break his own in that case?
Zero chance it was done months ago.
The Reuters piece doesn't conclude much, INEOS can still buy the club.
He added to the original breaking news report but hasn't really said anything new in the update.
Why does anyone?
He doesn't know anything anyway, I'm not sure why people think he's clued up on anything United related.Ben Jacobs, ffs what a downer man.
I bet if his missus says that’s she’s about to cum during sex he pulls out and plainly explains to her that it’s equally likely that her orgasm doesn’t occur.
We haven't been competing with one hand tied behind our back due to money, its poor decision making which we could 100% be subject to again. We have seen how Chelsea are getting on with their new sugar daddy. I'm cautiously optimistic but City have done so well because they have combined fantastic decision making, planning and financing.
Ben Jacobs or Reuters? Ben Jacobs or Reuters? hmmm it is a tough call on who is more reliable
I'm pretty sure that means that technically we have 100m to spend but giventhat you could spread the cost over multiple years like Chelsea did last year, that could be made up to 400 or 500m without cheating
I‘ve registered companies in Ireland. It takes several weeks to process. How is it different in the Uk?
Nobody needs Simon Stone for that. Just read the Reuters statement.
If you have a credit/debit card and have £12, it is supposed to take around 24 hours.
Nobody lives in a vacuum. City's treble celebrations were the most depressing, anticlimactic moment you could have imagined. It hardly registered with anyone. I'm in multiple group chats in which football is a fairly big thing and it was barely mentioned (they aren't just United fans). Because it means feck all.Simple don't let how you feel be defined by other people, if you live your life worrying about what other people think I feel bad for you
How exactly would we cheat? Cook our books to make it look like we have the biggest revenue in the world?
Hang on a minute...
Feels like every British journo is just choosing to sit on the fence instead of admit they actually know nothing at this point in time.
I’ve done both. 24 hours not impossible
During an exclusivity period the sellers can only negotiate with the exclusive buyers about terms. That's usually also the period when due diligence is done. Some indicative valuation is usually already agreed upon, but parties still have to agree to the final price/terms. No other buyers can be brought in to bid during exclusivity. If the exclusivity period expires without a deal being agreed then bids from other buyers can be entertained again.
This quite naive, to be fair. Presumably the Qatari owners will want to win and be successful, and cheating is a pretty good way of getting there, especially when other teams are cheating.
This - not helping his credibility with palpably wrong info regarding the registration either...
No one said that it has been granted. Reuters said , it's " negotiating "
Or they out of the loop as usual
It wouldn't even take several weeks if it was done by post over here.
Same day service via the online portal in most cases.
You could also argue that it was unfair to be bought in a fully leveraged deal that saddled the club with debt. Especially now that there are new rules preventing that from happening to other clubs
The Qatari's, a great bunch of lads.
To be fair, it's hard to ignore Reuters, it's a question of when.
I guess the Rio news, Reuters exclusive and the holding company news all dropping within 2 hours is one big coincidence....yeah right
No its both, City have spent similar amounts to us over the last 10 years, but they had aguero, Silva toure, fernandinho,kompany zabaleta etc. All in the team already, while we needed replacements in every position. We only spent really when we finished outside the top 4, then wouldn't push on til that happened again. Look at mourinho in 2018, finish second and he gets one signing. This year, desperately need a striker in January, get fecking wout weghorst
Howard Nurse: Oil struck in Qatar.
Are you sure?Clubs with low revenue cheat in order to spend more on players.
We don’t have low revenues. We have one of the largest revenues in the world.
Nah definitely not. You've got that wrong I'm pretty sure. The vast majority of transfers are leveraged over several years. Doing that doesn't mean you can spend 400m/500m every summer just because the repayments are spread out.
Anybody can with a big offer but it puts to bed the idea that the Glazers either want to stay or Jim was winning.
