Jesus, came in because I thought there might have been an update and now I feel like I just walked into the Nuremberg trials by mistake.
Club Sale | It’s done!

It’s not about people having the audacity to speak up, it’s the fact we’ve had about 4-5 different threads on the morality argument, and it’s basically the same conversation repeated over and over again. At this point it’s just repetitive and would be better placed not in this thread where most people (at this point, having discussed the morality aspect to death) just want updates.
seriously go find the numerous Saudi threads when they were interested in us, it’s the same discussion in every one.
I have no clue why this thread keeps going? Unless its heading is changed. It's not about Glazers sale, just posters telling others why they hate certain countries. It's for sure not the reason I would click on this thread. I wish the mods would get involved the internet warriors are killing this thread for others looking for info on the sale.
Mate, you know the markets better than anyone in here, the chances of an actual update in the next month or so are close to zero!
you're right unfortunately! I still think before Spring but at the end of this Q. For what it's worth your previous post was spot on also.heard Ghislaine Maxwell is going to buy United, am sure some in this thread will be posting about how she's a shining beacon of morality now
I was thinking how mad it is that “The richest British man” Sir Jim Ratcliffe doesn’t have enough money to buy a football club
Cool bro.
He already owns a football club. He can probably buy a few more football clubs. Just not Manchester United.
No sh*t Sherlock
Just about as valuable as bringing up Ghislaine Maxwell tbf. The world is the way it is, taking a moral stand is cool but at the end of the day it’s you that’s losing out. There are no good guys. Not how big business works. Supporting the club doesn’t mean you’re best friends with who owns it or even agree with what they do in either business or in their own countries.Thanks, great addition
Same here. I literally scroll through to see if theres been any updates via tweets or whatever and leave just as quick.
Cool bro.
Anyway, this thread is a pretty boring circular discussion that just ends in people pontificating about arse nobody asked them about. Better off just using this thread for updates as it's just become a homing beacon for edgelords and agenda posters to spam about their chosen agenda of the week.

Agreed. Glad you’re seeing it the sensible way.
We should ban this account. The Tifo video taken completely out of context.
Amazing logic there by Kieran. The market cap is currently $3.8bn and we have another £1bn of debt, so you only have to google to get that 'valuation'.
Kieran Maguire could spare himself some blushes and just wait 4 months and actually see what United are being sold for instead of mindlessly speculating.
He is a known, massive Liverpool fan in fairness, surprised he even put the valuation above Chelsea's.
Who the feck is this bloke?
I think he is Brighton Fan.
Yes, I’m sure that’s how this works. Chelsea weren’t in dire trouble and needed to he sold sue to sanctions, it’s comparable
I'm being a bit of a picky tit. But the "investing in the first team squad" (ie signings) part doesn't seem a crucial part.
Simply letting United spend their own profits would allow them to stay competitive with city and Newcastle.
The crucial part is investment into the facilities
A financial expert.
He would know that market cap doesn’t equal value then. The stock market is always forward looking, the Glazers are looking for the price they believe the club will be worth in the next 10 years, not today.
I’m fairly sure he knows.
In all those 4-5 threads, anyone who says they’re uncomfortable with the prospect of a state backed ownership are ridiculed too.
I just find it funny to be honest. I’d estimate about 95% of this forum objected to the City and Newcastle takeovers on moral/sports washing and/or financial doping grounds. But when it’s us, “it’s the only way to compete” and the ones who still have reservations are the hypocrites because they put petrol in their car.
That Tifo vid is for the general fan who is coming to this for the first time/been living in a cave. There is absolutely nothing in it for anyone following this at all closely (i.e. United fans).
To be fair, his valuation is higher than our market cap but it's basically market cap plus debt.
Gonna be a Dubai takeover.
Because?
Most likely one.
Because?
Someone who bought Bitcoin at £60k
Football finance expert. The tweets are just from the tifo vid where nothing was really said.
Aggregator accounts falsely claimed we have dubai interest when the tifo video made it clear it was pretty speculative.
I'm not surprised, there will be a bunch of click bait stuff this month because we're desperate for it
