Club Sale | It’s done!

How far into this week will we get into before we see a journalist write about another delay?

My guess is today, afternoon
 
After such a long wait and so much anticipation, I hope INEOS can bring about some positive change to our footballing structure. It'll be very disappointing if at the end it's just another leech of a different nationality sucking the life of the club.

What a fecking shambles. Hardly surprising given the Glazers track record. You’d think they’d be desperate to get this done as soon as possible because it’ll take a further 6-8 weeks to be finalised after the announcement as the Premier League do their ownership tests.
 
The whole process is inkeeping with what you'd expect when utter numpties like the Glazers are involved. Nothing is ever done quickly and efficiently
 
I have the summer penciled in for SJR, if it gets done before, it will be a bonus. Glazers are glacial.
 
If things were going okay on the pitch these delays wouldn't really matter, but as is it's difficult for the club to make a decision on the manager with a change in those who would have to make that decision pending.
 
I was going to ask was the "next week" tweet in yet.
But there it is.

"next week" so. Cant wait.

In the meantime there will be another couple of fan base meltdowns after the next couple of maulings against Munich and Lpool

16/1 bet for United to win both games by the way
 
Only reason the Glazers are giving up full control is because it's fallen apart for ETH this season. I think if our form from last season had carried over to this one they would have pulled the plug on the sale altogether. They really didn't want to relinquish control.
 
None of these football journalists know anything. They barely know which players we're trying to sign half the time never mind what's going on at the business end of the club.

This whole "it'll be next week" thing is just going to keep going on until it's finally announced "next week", at which point every journalist will say that they were right. You'll have the usual suspects saying things like "just like when I said they would buy the club next week and then they did, this proving my journalistic credentials, I can now confirm that United are interested in turning Old Trafford into a theme park" or some other shite that will get them clicks on YouTube.

And even if the deal does in fact go through this week, after this new announcement that it'll be "next week", every journalist that said this will back track and say something changed at the eleventh hour. Joel found his pen under his desk or something. It's impressive how much rubbish they can talk and get away with.

16/1 ? I was expecting 40/1
 
I am now resigned to thinking this isn't happening at all.

I feel the Glazers have no intention and this is there go to PR piece when we play shit.
 
As far as I'm concerned it's better to lock this thread because it's mostly just tweets by folks who continue to say the equivalent of "next year" and clearly know Jack - all the while people keep clinging onto their words like gospel.

If it happens I am barely even excited about it anymore at this pt. Apathy has fully set in.

It will be after the transfer window closes. Because ratcliffe won't want to take the blame for this season.

Don't think money will be available January whether there's a partial takeover or not, so this is irrelevant.
