Comparing the sell of united to the sell of Washington commanders is like comparing the sell of a car to the sell of a house.

The latest bid is reported to be £5.5bn.
I am pretty sure this is illegal.
As said, the glazers are not good business people they wont understand the logic
Good point. Yeah if Bloomberg have been reporting then there's substance.
I’m quietly confident this is still going to be going on on during my birthday - in January…
I don’t doubt they would, but hopefully they’ll be gone by then.
The Reuters “update” was just telling us that SJ is negotiating for exclusivity. Which he’s basically been doing since he made his very first bid.
What earth shattering revelation has Bloomberg just dropped? (Can’t read article, paywalled)
Their previous name was the Washington Redskins if that makes any difference, a very well known and successful team.
Sources say the Qataris feel they've won. Either their sources are the Raine Group or Jassim's crew. Surely they're not going to comply eith Raine leaks? This is Bloomberg. But I must admit to having doubts.
"Those within the inner circle of the Qatari bid have now begun communicating their confidence of victory and believe it’s just a matter of time before an official announcement is made "
Not really. I hate both options but it’s glaring how reports before and after the Reuters article have been treated.
I’m just pointing that out.
The problem is, you're putting too much onus on their articles. A quick scan through Reuters football articles shows that they often comment on what their sources tell them, which often turns out incorrect.
The other issue is that, this isn't putting their reputations on the line. 99.999999% of people don't even care about the Reuters article, it's just mainly people on the internet that are absolutely obsessed and dripping with desperation for Qatar to win. Their journalist even clarified that the article wasn't confirmation of anything. It was worthless, and I bet the Bloomberg article is too.
That Qatar are expecting an announcement of their takeover imminently?
Edit and Reuters were first to claim Qatar were now the favoured option of a sale. Not small updates at all
Correct. They may offer certain products and services which some find useful, but to cite them as a source of any exclusive news is way off.Benzinga are disreputable now?
To be clear, I have always been of the belief that it's the Qataris' to lose, and the Reuters and Bloomberg reports do mean something. Nothing Bazinga say is going to move the needle.
Ta
This is a big claim:
So Bloomberg are claiming to have sources which have heard directly from within the Qatari camp that they have won.
You can be as cynical as you like about it but short of an official announcement you are not going to get anything more solid.
1. Bloomberg have a solid reputation.
2. It’s come from financial journalists, not headline chasing football journalists.
3. Bloomberg trusted sources claim to have heard it directly from the Qatari camp.
4. The claim isn’t that their bid is “preferred” or “in the lead”, they think it’s actually won.
This isnt a transfer. This is about finances. They absolutely wouldnt just throw that out there.

Pane with the Glazers.
Aye its simple price action. But when it comes to technical analysis its very easy to appear smarter than what you're actually showing. Ofcourse after a bullish movement there will be some profit taking, resulting in a slight pullback
They won't leave before the end of the transfer window.
I guess that's why they call it window pane
Football clubs just don't make money period. American sports are rigged with salary caps and franchise models in order to make money for the owners.
Hence why the Super League refuses to die.
Word has it that Joel believes he may have struck gold and is considering entering the film production industry, having recently finished a book about a boy wizard. He is trying to reach out to the author about writing a sequel.
Is this one of the most dull and protracted saga ever? Worse than the FDJ nonsense from last year.
Nothing about SJR package seems appealing to me. Why are people all for it? Just feels like more of the same to me.

How does Sheikh Jassim’s proposal seem more of the same (Glazers) to you? I can’t see any similarities at all.
Two more trading sessions this week. Do we think it can go to 29-30?
Thought SJ was for sir jim?
Think he missed an 'R' there in his post
Didn't Benzinga used to play FIFA on Youtube
It’s down 2.5% at the moment at $24.50
It's SJR or BJ for Jim Ratcliffe.
