Who? I’m not British so don’t get it.
Awwww i missed the best page of them all... 1985, the year i was born haha
That was Bloomberg I think?
Bit like this thread
Google ‘Live Aid’, it was a huge deal at the time. It’ll have its own Wikipedia page etc.
Biggest of big years. I was born
Sir Bob isn't British either, he's famous for 3 things, for Live Aid, for being a scruffy twat and for not liking Monday's
Feck the Glazers, Feck Joel, Feck Avram and if you're down with them feck you too- in 2pac's Voice.
Don't ever mention that cnut to me again.
Chernobyl fall out once the Glazers finally feck off.
I missed this gem amid all of the usual comments. Absolutely perfect.
Share price has taken a big dive today.
Ain’t happening I don’t think. Not in the near future anyway. I think they will tough it out a year minimum
The year you met the Mrs?
It's crazy that we are soon gonna start coming up on it being a year since this news was first announced and we are seemingly no closer to a conclusion now than we were then
Bout to crash even future if Mike Keegan’s quotes are anything to go by. Potential pause put on the deal with it running into autumn or winter.
Just my thoughts on a couple of points I have seen being discussed,
"It will be a major embarrassment to Qatar if they don't buy the club now"
I would say that they can quite easily justify not succumbing to the Glazers demands, and no businessman EVER wants it to seem like they have massively overpaid. (Just think of Sanchez, Pogba, Maguires agents, or Phil Jones etc, or Juventus, Leicester City for inflated transfer fees and wages)
" we felt that the current value was approximately £4bn, but with proper people at the helm, even at 5bn we could have made medium and long term returns, but the asking price was prohibitive"
With regards to the sale or no sale, it appears to me (as a total outsider) that there is a wide gap in the glazer siblings as to the way forward.
4 seem to want to cash in (or maybe HAVE to raise cash), while 2 want to stay.
Now why do Joel and Avram want to remain?
POSSIBLY they are looking at top 5 qualifying for the champions league will mean that United are almost certain to qualify every year, so maybe not so much need to spend on transfers, new shirt sponsors will keep you at or near the top of the game's biggest earners, new TV deals they will expect revenues to increase further.
With the move from FFP to FSP though will, if I understand the new regulations correctly, will be the biggest reason for them to want to retain a significant shareholding.
In three or four years, clubs will only be able to spend 70% of income, leaving 30% of £600,000,000+ per year will make for a nice wee dividend each year, and if the ground needs renovating..."due to FSP regulations we can't afford to pay for the refurbishment out of current incomes, however welcome to the McDonald's Soccerbowl Old Trafford, a partnership which will allow the modernising of the ground"

I'm no fan of Sevilla either but come on, he's a pretty good keeper
The Qataris may have more money, but Sir Jim has more patience. Boom!
I'd be at a loss without google
So this ain't happening it seems. It's been 8 months of nothing.
When Berba taps out you know it’s over.
If they don't sell I don't want to see a single home games being playable. Need to get every single one called off to the point we have to play behind closed doors
It is going to take a spectacular turn of events to break this stalemate.
It seems the media have turned towards what is described as a "pause". It started with the Athletic article last week and Jackson followed by Keegan emphasised to lack of communication pointing towards the process always being just a "strategic review".
I think there is little hope of a full takeover now.

Yup. Not many weeks until our first home games. That should significantly ramp up the pressure on the leeches.
I don't think they could give a toss at this point.
Unless of course its something like a riot which got the dippers match cancelled.
They won't sell if we start the season well and will hold out for a better offer.
Can’t even bring myself to be angry. Just completely deflated
Glazers, meet the Glazers
A vulture capitalist family
From the town of Tampa
Greediest cnuts in history
When we've finally kicked them down the street
No more will supporters be downbeat
When we've sacked the Glazers
We'll have a yabba dabba doo time
A dabba doo time
We'll have a gay old time
Avraaaaam!
Take a hint and feck off already ya gooch looking cnut

Is it bad that I sort of want to see the carnage that will come from this if they decide not to sell?
Really drive home the message to the cnuts.

That's the perfect description along with Milk SnatcherHow dare you besmirch Mrs Thatcher like that
It goes back Sohlekol said during one of his reports on Sky, the Glazers did not get the range of prospective buyers they wanted. Hence, why they went public.
They are dangerous owners because the only element speaks to them is money. They do not care about the supporters etc...
There is a split amongst the siblings. United Muppetier does not expect there to be an announcement till mid August. I can see them shifting their stance and say they are staying.
