So are they realising that in the new sports wash economy, they will have to invest far more than they are prepared to in order t ostick to the business plan and compete for CL place and money every year?
They’ve now become toxic to the brand. And stand to make shit tons. EPL clubs haven’t properly tapped out media revenues yet - that’s why Boehly is buying Chelsea - that’s where the growth is and why someone will buy us and Liverpool for billions.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?
Correct.My understanding is leveraged buyouts aren't legal anymore anyway.
If we’re going to be owned by some petro-state’s sovereign wealth fund, I vote that it’s Norway.
Sportswashing for a space karen aint so badNo Saudi's or Elon, if this is true
Feck this I want to know how that tagline came to fruition.
We've got timeIt's a long story...
Elon could buy us through Twitter. Social media sites are looking to get that football money.Can cancel out Elon, Russian Oligarchs, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Saudi. So we have Bahrain (?), Dubai remaining of the oil nations . Doubt Ambani and Adani ( Indian Billionaires ) will be interested.
With Sky high interest rates i dont see a hedge fund buying us
Correct.
So new American owners then.No Saudi's or Elon, if this is true
Maybe if there’s hope of hosting a Superb Owl in a new stadium in Trafford.
He's the owner I'm praying for. But, since UTD is publicly traded they have an obligation to go to the highest possible bidder. So, this could get interesting.Jim ratcliffe bid more than 4billion for fecking Chelsea at the last minute but lost. Now his boyhood club is up for sale for 5-6billion, let’s see the dream of the childhood fan owning the club makes him put his money where his mouth is.
This is the first thing that came to your mind after the announcement? He is living rent free in your head. feck that scrote.
Ratcliffe.So new American owners then.
Anything after the announcement now is pure speculation, these journos had no clue it was for sale an hour ago and suddenly some claim it’s going to a US investor?
It will go to the highest bidder which I very much doubt will be a investment fund
they aren't saying it with Certainty, they're saying it's most likely.Anything after the announcement now is pure speculation, these journos had no clue it was for sale an hour ago and suddenly some claim it’s going to a US investor?

FSG? Kroenkes? They are all the same. Some worse than others.Are US Investors all bad or are we just shaken by the Glazers?
Any link?Glazers have confirmed it’s for sale.
Any link?
You're not serious, right? That would be worse than what we currently have.
The Glazer family confirms Manchester United is up for saleAny link?
Uniteds statement on the website mentions a sale.Any link?
Good shout. However do you know any football clubs that are owned by people who live on the doorstep?Someone born within the M60.
