Club Sale | It’s done!

The Glazers don’t give a shit about backlashes and protests. So, erm, they may, quite possibly, be here long after the last protester pisses his pants in a frenzy of righteousness.
If everyone stops going to the games and stops buying merch, campaigns at the hq of every sponsor, boycotts every enterprise with a connection to United, the glazers might look up from their breakfast with a confused expression. That’s the best we can hope for as a result of fan action, I fear.
At this point feck it ha. Let's have glazers still here come first game and mount being the only signingthats a bit cruel mate
some of these lads are on the verge of a full meltdown
Is "Sir James Arthur Ratcliffe FIChemE" a new Caf meme or is it an auto-correct like "YAWN" and "Ole ole ole I love you"?
So because they can’t delist themselves as shareholders due to the debt, it looks likely the Glazers will be staying for the foreseeable future? 
Left wing is probably the lowest priority position in term of potential recruitment.
Striker, GK, CB, CM, RB and possibly LB should be getting reinforced first.
Hearing some murmurs that this might not be happening now.
There’s going to be riots at OT if this is true. Glazers must know this.
Earlier today I held a seashell to my ear.
I'm sure I heard "the glazer's are never ever leaving"
I bashed a baby seal's head in with it.

Have you been on Twitter or does your mate work for Raine?
The Glazers can't afford the status quo. They need outside investment one way or another.
Word on the street is that Joel wanted a clause to be inserted in the sale deed declaring him to be the most conventionally attractive sibling and when Darcie heard she was so mad she couldn’t even finish her Boxercise class, much less agree to it.
needs to happen now. i’m spending up to two hours each night putting the kids to sleep, listening to their concerns about what happens to the debt if ratcliffe only takes over the glazer portion of the shares. will the higher interest rates impact our ability to borrow more money and sign the latest superstars. will ratcliffe commit to the regeneration of the whole club or will he look at it as the final piece of his billionaire jigsaw. and how is it fair that one of them got told off for laughing at a boy in year 1 who accidentally pooed himself at break time. it has to end.
Whose kids are they?
I agree, although the way that fans are so impatient and desperate for news has driven that whole subculture of journalistic reporting on football matters. Everything is made out to be a season of the Bold and the Beautiful with all of these twists and turns to satiate the appetite of fans.
On the plus side it's a lot more interesting than the usual muppet summer threads
I doubt the Glazers are aware but probably wouldn't care either way. They'd be tucked up in Florida.
Joel is dreamy though in a Sloth from Goonies sort of way
United can't afford it more like.
No I hit my post limit, how did you know my mate works for Raine?
My point is that it's not in the interest of the Glazers as owners to maintain the status quo; thus, they are better off selling.
I think you missed the irony. Someone on twitter telling me not to trust people on twitter.
What nobody realises is that the Glazers are playing a high stakes game of buckaroo (seeing how far they can push the United fan base before we actually do something meaningful) and the sale was never real.
The reporter from Bloomberg, who wrote that report, retweeted a tweet that said Qatar are still in the dark. I don't think they have a clue what is going on.
Butler: Sir, I am sorry to inform you that there has been a riot at Old Trafford
Glazer: Where the hell is that?
I'm not basing anything on what this apparent FT editor has said. He's probably full of shit too. They all are. This is clearly under close wraps and any information from a legitimate source is being but out there for a reason. But Reuters claimed weeks ago that it was breaking news about the exclusivity or however they put it, but that reporter backtracked slightly if I recall correctly when interviewed by somebody on YouTube. Besides, weeks have since passed and still no announcement on this exclusivity. They're full of shit or just reporting a story planted with them for a particular reason.
Perhaps this was a ploy to distract from the bargain basement summer coming up, much like when they'd always release news that we're looking for a DoF after every poor transfer window to appease the fans.
Would they care, I doubt it.
That sounds more like a high stakes game of securities fraud.
They won't be able to attend another match
Would be fun if the Glazers decides to stay and the United supporters protest every game just like the they did before the Liverpool game a few years ago. Totally feck up one season to lower the value of the club instead. Payback is a b*tch.
The siblings/Qatar and J&A/INEOS are playing chicken. That's the whole story. It could end in a day or a year but it has to end because they have to sell to someone.
Everything else is just noise.

I don't really understand what the Glazers gain by not closing a deal.
Why have they put more on the company credit card with Mount?
They are actual billionaires, so they probably have that over me in business advice, but I just don't understand what they gain by hecking around.

Is there a scenario where it's in the best interests of the Qataris to delay the sale until it's theoretically too late for a 'Qatar transfer window'?
e.g If SJ bought the club tomorrow and spent 500 million this transfer window, besides the fact that every selling club would want silly money, would it inflate the price of the remaining shares that he would need to acquire 100% of the club?
Don't know if it makes sense, it was just a theory I had camping last night

True, don’t think that will bother them either.
Big news on Threads!
You might want to get under your desks for this one and brave yourselves.

No ss the takeover wouldn't be official till after the season started now anyway with the fit and proper tests etc.
Collectively billionaires but each one I doubt is.
Genuinely, yes it would. I just can’t see it happening.
Remember when they said this could be a quick sale and boxed off before the end of the season. They must’ve meant next season.
Some of them will be surely. At least on paper. With United and Tampa Bay plus whatever else makes up their empire. Some also have their own interests separate to the family businesses.
If I had to guess, Darcie is probably close to of not over the $billion mark and possibly Joel.
It’s the hope that’ll kill you
