Maybe he was knowingly helping the turds raise their price?
‘Help us get to 6b dollars and we’ll repay the favour’.
So end game now.
Then surely Jassim's people must've known and all?
The Glazers cannot afford to not sell to Jassim, they will have to accept his offer ultimately and they certainly cannot risk him walking away, this will be done soon, they are out of road with Ratcliffe out of the equation.
Surely this thread is going to exceed well over 2K pages 
Of course it’s massively affecting every fecking deal.Even aside from the financial element, it will be affecting the decision of players signing.
There’s a huge difference in signing for a 92Foundation owned Man Utd, and a Utd with the Glazers still involved.
Not necessarily.
Just don't spread the minority investment stuff in here because we don't wanna hear it
Put simply, Ratcliffe knew he was up against Qatar and he wasn’t going to outmuscle them financially so had to be creative and it looks like it hasn’t worked out for him.
Seen a lot of posts saying sir Jim's bid is dead? Wonder if its just the usual tripe.
Exactly they knew their only fight was with the Glazers themselves on whether they wanted to sell or not ?Exactly. Yet there were folk on here in the pro Brexit Jimmy camp who were trying to suggest the Qatari’s were handling this like amateurs.
Bloomberg journalist has a source that has briefed him that it’s now dead.
Well it's coming from a business expert David Hellier not Hillier who played for Arsenal. He was on the Utd View with Flex earlier today talking about the takeover situation
Obviously, SJR doesn't have the financial muscle of Qatar (duh), so he tried to solve the problem by only buying a controlling stake in the club (51%), offering the Glazers more money per share in the process.
To someone like me, with no in-depth knowledge of takeovers and regulations, that made perfect sense. I guess it's not that simple, eh?

Thanks guys I'm stuck at work so was briefly scanning and saw it from a few sketchy sources. Appreciate the info.
If it is true that SJR bid is dead because of the minority shareholder issue, then that issue has been known for ages. So the reality would be that SJR was out weeks ago and yet the Glazers still haven't sold. That to me tells me that there is much more to all of this, and that there probably is a good chance the Glazers don't sell.
It’s a Bloomberg journalist that confirmed it this morning. Literally it’s Qatar or minority investment/nothing. That’s where the standstill currently is with the Glazers.
Unless I've missed something, he made an offer to buy out all of the Glazers also.
Shareholder disputes aren't exactly uncommon either. As always an hysterical reaction over snippets of news in here.
Every couple of weeks is more than enough, really. If something actually happens - something tangible, not just articles and tweets about who's confident of what -, you'll see it immediately from the thread title anyway.
Deeeeead in the waaaater - at least he had a try

Probably been posted but that Bloomberg journo retweeted this...
Seems his source is the Qatar group. So not sure if their views on the SJR bid should be trusted.

Which is exactly what is being reported.
The Qatari take it or leave it offer was nearly 3 weeks ago. Bloomberg sources are saying that they don’t understand what is taking so long and attribute the hold up to “The kids” referring to the Glazers being indecisive and arguing between themselves.
It needs 6 of them to sign it off, I love bashing them but it’s a multi-billion deal and the culmination of an 18 year process for them. It’s really no surprise that they are doing their best to squeeze it.
He’s summarising the Bloomberg article. He has no sources.
Glazer advertised it as full sale or minority investment. If they reject Qatar bid, then minorty shareholders will ask the question why bid to buy them out was rejected. So at this moment, Qatar is most certainly winning this bid
He could have considered something really drastic and invested a little of his own cash
Been said many times
Maybe why their offers haven't shifted THAT much if you believe the reports.
Same journo 2 days ago...
I'd take it all with a pinch of salt.

So Bloomberg were quoting Qatar sources? Not reliable then?
And achieve what? He’s still never going to outmuscle Qatar.
Revenue vs profit with us straddled with debt. Not sustainable them staying.
He has not changed his tune. He has just reported on one of the bidders being confident of winning. Not sure why you would pick that tweet to try to justify your stance of not wanting to trust Bloomberg.
More like 6 or 7 weeks ago. Or have they made another 'take it or leave it' offer that I've missed?

Is that confirmed as to how the decision would be made? I had been thinking the decision might be weighted by each respective shareholding % as they are not equal shareholders?
Due diligence and lawyers looking at outcomes could have taken weeks, they may have been exploring the legality of it and whatnot
Absolutely
And it's likely we currently have a shareholder dispute within the Glazer family too - probably a major reason for all the delays and lack of progress
