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’. :lol:

fecking cretins. Honestly don’t reckon Utd will ever be free of them.

Yeah definitely starting to look that way

Will there though? Realistically?

Maybe one game gets called off and then ETH or Rashford comes out and says something like, ‘it’s not helping the team’ etc and that’ll be it.

I just can’t see there being the kind of prolonged, strategically disruptive protest that’d be needed to really damage their ‘product’.

Utd fans are just worn down by the Glazer ownership, I don’t see there being more than a whimper of a protest in the grand scheme of things.
 
I've become resigned to the notion that they'll end up staying.

And I hope I'm wrong.

It's what Qatar's regime have in mind.

Can't see any protests going beyond chanting and a few banners. I'd go further, but not in the name of Ineos or Qatar. You want a 'full sale only' show the gall to display to whom.

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.

Stevie Foster, Stevie Foster. What a difference you have made, what a difference you have made!
 
They'll split your pretty cranium and fill it full of air,
And tell you that you're eighty, but brother you won't care,
You'll be shooting up on anything, tomorrow's never there.
Beware the savage claw
Of 1984.
 
If they stay you can see the legal expense and the Raine group costs all being paid for by the club, leaving even less money or even more debt. Im still hoping for Qatar sale.
 
Seems like most on here are preparing mentally for bad news, and it will be awful if the Glazers continue to pretty much hold back the club, but I just can't see how they can continue without either investment, or a full sale.
 
Rooney should stick to football. Never been a bright spark.
 
Shocked to see somebody who wants to be a future manager of Manchester United publicly back the current owners of the club... Not to mention they probably have some goodwill from Rooney, since they signed off the wages he shit on the club and fans to get.

Wonderful player, one of the best - humble too. But he has a terrible tendency to shit on the people who care about him the most, when it suits him.

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?

Your correct £5.7/5.8 a hunch however the huge delay and all the truthful journalists who have repeated on multiple times that the Glazers will only sell for £6bn, the reality is that they will stay and see out another season unless someone gives them £6bn or a figure close to it, they might and then even then there’s no guarantee they would agree a deal at £5.7/5.8bn but I wouldn’t be sure on that either, the clock ticking and they are sitting on a financial bomb!

After the transfer window the club value can go up or down dependent on next season’s performance but also you misunderstand how significant the club debt is, especially the £535m which had a 20 year term so must be repaid or renegotiated by 2025 add that to the serious amortised transfer debt of £308m which will be an annual debt of £100m per year for the next three years. The new FSP will reduce to 80% next summer and 70% the summer after, without actual investment from a new owner, clearing all the debt and not having to pay increasing interest rates the club will be in dire financial trouble.

Manchester United we’re fined by UEFA this summer because the owners did not do what other owners have done, invest their own money to balance the books, they can not longer take dividends and use high interest rates to service the debt because the club is not dining at the very top table in professional football, they have not competed for a PL for over a decade and a CL for over 12 years, they have to sell just whether it’s this summer, in the winter or next summer?
 
I think Rooney generally speaks a lot of sense about football

Seems to have a blind spot for the Glazers though. Perhaps blinded by them making him very rich by approving that ridiculous contract while he was declining as a player.
 
"I’m sure they will get the credit they deserve for the job they have done, but also they’re going to get the negativity from fans who never seem to acknowledge what they’ve done for the club."

.. I'm confused, is he implying glazers deserve credit for what the club's achieved in the last decade(s)? I’d like to imagine the first half of this sentence was being sarcastic which wasn’t captured quite as well on print but still.

At some point he wants to be the United manager, which he says in the interview, so I think it's understandable that he might not come out and be overly negative in public about the current owners of the club tbf to him.
 
Look at the pre-market on a stock. I have never seen such a growth on a stock market.

This clown reminds me of the post-GameStop Superstonk cultists. They fanatically believed the hedge funds have nowhere to go (similar to the Glazers) and that they have them by the balls, and that the biggest squeeze ever was coming next week. They sifted through hundreds of documents and an obscene amount of numbers, every minute detail, utterly convinced in their financial know-how. Later, it turned into a sunk cost and all that. Nothing ever happened, though it continues to this day, mostly as a meme by now. At least this lad got some following out of it.
 
Rooney wants a role at the club, hence why he is careful what he says about the owners

It's going to be paid for by the club either way. Raine represent the club in the transaction.
