Ah 1983. The Brighton FA Cup replay win, happy days and a good sign. 16 pages to go.
I think @pocco meant glazers staying as is. Minority investment is probably the worst option for them, unless they just take that money for themselves. In which case, it's the worst option for the club.
I was joking tongue and cheek
Yep. Absolutely text book Glazers.
Just the beginnings of them trying to normalise it.
Edit - the drip feeding of them staying begins the exact same day that the deal with Onana is agreed
They’re so pathetic and predictable you just have to laugh really.

Imagine in Qatar ;
1. One of their oldest news publications mentioned it was only a matter of hours before SJ took over Man united a few weeks ago.
2. Congratulations messages from reputable Arabic businessmen in the Middle East
3. Nick the Dweeb Speed is more sure than BerbaClass that SJ and 92 Foundation have won
4. And Now SJ has a new shiny red Porsche with MU number plate
If they have lost, this is going to be incredibly embarrassing for the state especially after the recent commotion at PSG with Messi leaving and now Mbappe threatening too, they need a win and a big one soon especially with what Saudi are currently doing ?
Understood, but then why did the Glazers go through this entire process of soliciting bids/investment in the first place, if not because the staying as is option for them was becoming financially untenable?
So we are on the flight tracking and Porsche sighting phase?
Qatar will look complete fecking idiots if they get dont get United. The fact its so public they've been dancing around for 8 months is the one thing were you go "that regime cant not buy it surely!"

They won’t look like idiots if they go and buy another PL club and do a good job there though will they.
If they come out of this feeling snubbed they can immediately rectify that, and take on the Glazers / Ratcliffe in the process.
Which I’m sure they would do. I know I would.
United is the best asset to get, so it’s not going to rectify missing out.
And that probably isn't SJ's Porsche.
Well it certainly rectifies them ‘looking like idiots’ if they buy a PL club for a lot less than Utd and then end up defeating Utd as City have done.
And there’s no other way to spin it.
If they buy Spurs / West Ham / wherever and are beating Utd on the pitch, it won’t be them that people are laughing at and calling idiots…
Imagine a regime like that, chasing a £6 billion entity for 8 months and come away without it. Its one thing to go by another club. That's damage limitation. Not getting this done after chasing it, will be embarrassing for the individuals involved.
It really doesnt. This isnt about "buying a football club." This is about buying a pop culture institution, know throughout the globe. The one who still makes hundreds of millions in profit when they havent won the league in 10 years. You dont put 5/6 billion down if your goal is to simply "own something like that West Ham lot."
Mount signed, Onana on the way, Rashford renewed. Do you think that if Hojlund signs too, they'll be brave enough to announce that they're staying? Or maybe they'll just never mention it again and hope people forget.
I disagree.
If you’re claiming it’s a regime, as you are, then you KNOW they can easily afford to blow this out of the water.
So them choosing not to do so, and instead buying a better facilitated club for far less money, doesn’t ‘humiliate’ them at all.
As long as they succeed at whatever club they were to take over, they’d come out of it fine.
It’s the Glazers and / or whoever is running Utd that are more likely to end up looking like mugs imo.
Class year 1983, I lost my virginity!
We don’t know that it is and we don’t know that it isn’t ? Just like we don’t know if the Glazers are selling or staying ? Que cera cera ?

Yeah, this is as clear a sign as I've seen in a while that there's a decision that's pretty much made. It's got to have come from the Glazers side in some form, so it's only fair to assume that them staying is suddenly very much back on the agenda. I don't even think they're doing it to try and smoke out another buyer, because the info has been put out there too low key.
Whoever runs their PR is extremely predictable.
They may as well just do that now
Yeah exactly
schrodinger's owners
simultaneosly the biggest spenders and the biggest tight-arses in the league
Makes no sense for them to stay. In what world would the club increase in value without investment in the stadium and the squad. The reality is the asking price resulted in interest from only 2 billionaires, that's as good as it gets for them.
If they are intending to stay then the statement signing would be Kane, bought with the Glazer’s own money - but yeah, that’s not going to happen. Still find it difficult to see how all 6 Glazer’s are happy to stay. If J&A are still here it can only mean they are going with Ineos, with Sir Jim buying out the other 4 plus the A class shares.
That was a fun night. I was supposed to fly out to Toronto the Monday after the first match but I managed to postpone it to get to the replay.
Wait! We've re-signed Jonny Evans? Seriously?
Only short term, working with the youngsters, don’t get too excited.
1983-Suny Jim was born
Can they buy it before they get to 1994 and 2017? Both very bad years for me
He’s signed a short team deal For just the preseason, his wife still works for the media team and they still live in Cheshire. You can think what you want but he’s here to stay fit and find a new club.
Only short term to help him stay fit and help out with the kids after losing Huddlestone or McShane, whichever just left us.
I think I’ve already posted that I was joking
Right. And here's me thinking that we'd signed him because there was nobody else to give the armband to.
They are still trying to squeeze £6bn from one of the bidders and that could be decided by the first party to blink.
It’s really that simple the Glazers want £6bn, the current bid from both parties is not £6bn but they could accept £5.7-5.8bn as things drag on, as there is a diminishing return for the bidders, they now can not have any influence in this summers transfer window.
That’s the reality of the process, the Glazers could stay to October / November or all of next season, but they need to sell or suffer higher FFP fines unless they actually put some of their own money into the club and we know that’s never going to happen !
I think people gradually are. Press too.
Can I ask what info you are using to come to the conclusion that it may now happen for £5.75-£5.8 bn? It's so weirdly specific, and I can't see how you could possibly be doing anything other than guessing. Also, how do you know the Glazers are holding out for £6bn, and how do you know the amount by which the Qataris would look to reduce their bid by in the event that they can't get a deal over the line before the transfer window ends?
That’s their tactic. Drag it out long enough that people will get to the point they’re desperate for a resolution one way or the other, so when they announce they’re staying it will be met with relief it’s finally over rather than rage that they’re staying.
Yeah, and the ‘subtle’ shift from -
‘The Glazers will announce who they’re selling to’… to, ‘The Glazers will announce whether they’re selling or staying’.
fecking cretins. Honestly don’t reckon Utd will ever be free of them.
Oh believe me there will be rage coming
