What does it mean?
This is correct.
Another part of what makes City well run is their ability to pay under the table to journalists and agents to get positive coverage.
The numbers Mason. What do they mean?!
Translation? Not everyone here is a stock market guru
They don’t mean anything.
It is a classic Twitter and wallstreetbets post, where they think off-market volume = something fishy.
They are the implementers of the crap that we have been witnessing during their tenure (ie the scattergun transfer window last year and the dithering over Anthony, and subsequent extortionate price, or the weird goalkeeping situation). Sure, they have to follow what the owners want to an extent, but they made some weird decisions last Summer and Murtough has been in post since 2021. Both are key actors in the Woodward shitshow for many years before that.
If the Glazers are the fire, those two are the arsonists.
My thoughts as well.Oh no! Numbers!
Someone translate, please.
I grew up beliving that football is a thing that unites people regardless of their race, religion, orgin etc. Don’t mix politics into football.
Don’t tell other people what to do.
I grew up thinking it was wrong to put kids in cages, try to overthrow a democracy and to bleed a world famous sporting institution dry so I repeat feck republicans they are all cnuts.
But it COULD be
They both won't absolved of any responsibility, however, it all stems from the top. The Glazers are the one's who give them the budgets to work with. We've all read/heard multiple reports of how Joel scrutinises every single spend. This has in the past caused a delay in transfer dealings.
I see we have Libertarin as well
I couldn’t be further from a libertarianIt is not !
There are 8000+ listed names in the US equity markets. Most of them have this profile
They wouldnt be in the position they are in if they werent republicans.
Also hows the wife and the art projects?
Librarian
She's going OK. Need a good freelancer to help me with her website. Preferably not a republican
It’s a breakdown of turnover in the Man Utd share per venue of transaction. Off the stock market, sometimes referred to “dark pool” trading, is in reality just so called Over The Counter (OTC) transactions. You can either trade with a listed share through the trading system provided by the stock exchange or it can be made manually, in which case a transaction is agreed outside of the stock exchange and executed by a bank or a financial institute so that it’s recorded in the digital share register.
Dark pools are sometimes seen as a bit sinister. The idea is that if the people with the best knowledge, the most insight, makes transactions on the stock market their knowledge will fairly fast be reflected in the stock price. Simplified, if a share is worth 100 but an expert understand that it should be worth 120 — the expert will of course buy as many shares as possible until the supply/demand have lead to the price going up to 120. But if a too large piece of the transaction volume is traded outside the stock market (in a dark pool), it can mislead the public. In reality, I think most transactions made OTC is done to cover short positions etc, hedge options. But a lot of regulations have been put in place to force banks etc to report OTC transactions too.
Anyway, the posted sheet shows that the volumes of shares traded OTC have dropped significantly on the 6th of January. But so has the volume of shares traded on the market. I have no idea what could impact trading volumes like that — but these things are not that consistent. I wouldn’t rule out that there is some significance in this data, but I personally wouldn’t attach any meaning to it.
What is important to not forget with this type of data is — if anyone understood what was going to happen to a listed company, before the info is published, it’s free money. Many many millions that just can be picked up for free. If you ask someone investing in shares if they have any sure fire investment tip, it’s like asking them if they knew a way to make many many millions without acting on it.
Before we see a movement in the share price of the Man Utd share, it’s very very speculative to look at these type of data and draw conclusions from any pattern.
Thanks for the breakdown, appreciate it!
We do not want the Qataris sustaining the rats in place. Need to fully sell
This bloke gets quoted a lot but he never seems to actually get anything right
I actually think that City and Pep have taken up some bad habits — because they are structured so much better than everyone else have been. Competition drives development. City have just not faced much competition, before in the later stage of the CL. I think that is an advantage we can have with ETH.
This. And currently the Democrats even more so
Yes. Politicians are all cnuts. Just different levels of cnut.
No ill check it out.
This report from ESPN is probably true:
“The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamas Al Thani, owns PSG through Qatar Sports Investment (QSI), the country's state-run sovereign wealth fund, and sources have said QSI is fully focused on the Ligue 1 side”
https://www.espn.com/soccer/liverpo...ly-not-interested-in-buying-liverpool-sources
Sure, the UEFA rules preventing more than one club — simplified — being controlled by one owner could create inconveniences. But Red Bull has worked around it and all you have to do is to ensure the integrity on the pitch. It’s up to QSI to decide what they want to do.
But I just think that — if QSI — wanted to buy a PL club, wouldn’t we hear more about their involvement in the bidding for Chelsea, Liverpool or Manchester United? They are probably still my best bet for buying us, but not because I would attach a great percentage to it, I just think every other specific option is less likely (Ratcliffe/Dubai/Saudi/each of the US owners connected to Chelsea but losing to Boehly etc).
However, they could still of course participate in a consortium and buy a minority share. This is probably a lot more likely than them investing with the Glazers still in place — because the Glazer would still hold all control with their Series B shares holding 10 votes each.
It’s like in that high flying “dream scenario” I posted about a couple of days ago, I don’t really see any contradictory interest or roadblocks for a consortium built around Ratcliffe-Beckham-QSI — and if they need further financing, one of those US investment firms. Ratcliffe takes 51%, QSI 20%, Beckham 5% and the rest is left on the NYSE…
This. His face alone makes me almost lose it. Stupid grin and these glasses
Not sure why he is quoted everywhere. Not sure what's his credibility.
Just a small correction in that article - QSI is the sports investment subsidiary to their sovereign wealth fund. Might be a minor error, but pretty annoying that British reporters is getting this stuff mixed up (on purpose) - like with them attributing DIC trying to buy Liverpool in the past with Sheikh Mohammed himself fronting it despite him by all accounts not being involved at all in the now dissolved subsidiary.
Really sorry guys for the blind tweet. Tried to ask wtf it meant (I saw a comment about "Dark Trading" and ive no idea myself) and just wanted to share.
This is a good description, I thought it looked interesting so was hopeful Messier or crossy would provide some info over what it meant!
