State of him in that picture with his oversized ring on!
Of course they are.
Gosh, I really hate the Glazers. People say greed is not as disgusting as other things in this world but theirs is greed that makes you question it.
I assumed that this was a given as the debts are the club's
Wait and see if that debt thing is feasible. It's almost too ridiculous to accept
I won’t be surprised if they choose to stay with some additional investment.
The thing with the debt is not so much it staying as it is them expecting to get the top of their valuation and not factoring the debt into that. Greedy pricks.
Just click bait rubbish. The debt is held by Manchester United, not the Glazers. It would be the new owners decision to pay off that debt when they come in, but that will clearly affect the price the Glazers receive for the club.
Nothing much new here
The Liverpool situation is getting interesting. The dire straits on the pitch are really cranking up the pressure on FSG to do a deal quickly, due to the damage purportedly being caused by the uncertainty.
However, from a business perspective it makes far more sense for FSG to wait until the Manchester United process is concluded, as it's likely that a fair amount of the dropouts from our process will switch attentions to Liverpool.

Super Bowl winner and all
Going to be an interesting summer that's for sure. If both United and Pool get absolutely minted new owners than the Premier League will basically become the super league.
We need big investment this summer to continue on the great foundation ETH has set for us and for that reason alone, I can’t wait to get under new ownership.
No one is spending billions and not spend few hundred millions on transfer this summer.
New ownership irrespective of who it will be, will end up spending money as a signal of intent and also set the mark.
Chelsea spent a ridiculous 600m in 6 months of a new ownership, I am not saying we will do the same but I am sure we will spend Big.
Striker: A lot of talk about Harry Kane and stuff, but I want Victor O. He will suit our style perfectly. I will sell Martial and terminate Weghorst loan and buy another decent forward as a back up. Total outlay: 150m including back up striker and some peanuts from Martial.
Midfield: FDJ, no one else. The guy will come if we make top 4 which looks likely now. 75m
Another defensive MF: 75m
Sell Mctominay: 30m
Net: 120m
Defense: RB, as much as I am happy with AWB progress, he isn’t a solution. I see we might reignite our interest in Timber. My only problem is that unless we are getting him to play RB, it’s another short defender of plan is to play centre back. One is fine, two is an issue.
Net 10-20m after selling ABW
Another solid central defender by selling Maquire. It’s clear he won’t be a first choice under ETH so let him go and buy upcoming Gem while Martinez and Varane continue to be first choice fornext year Atleast.
Net: 30-40m
In total in these 3 areas, outlay net:approx. 320m.
We will get some money by letting go of Elanga, Baily etc so overall a 300m window and we will be ready to challenge for the titles again. That’s only 150m extra vs our usual summer spend.
Ideally, I would replace GK but that might be stretching things too much.
With this approach, our wage bill will also stay in check.

What's a Serie B team got to do with this?That ought to boil the piss for Barca and Juve. Lovely
Its more or less exactly like you put it. It doesn't make sense. Some might think, 'oh they could make 4bn if they wait 3-4 years, surely the sneaky buggers will do that!'
My point is just, since they need outside investment to rebuild OT, their profit would only be like 1.5-2.5bn -- and of a 6bn investment over 3-4 years, that is pretty crappy. But you never know with Joel and Avram...
Touché!
We were debt free before Glazers came. When they bought us, they loaded the club with debt more than 500m.
Least it's somewhat positive and just wish it was coming from the likes of Luckhurst, Ducker & Stone who are reliable for Utd
I’m well aware, like every other United fan. Doesn’t change the legal status of the debt now belonging to Manchester United rather than the Glazers.
Doubt we will hear anything more concrete until the end of this month when the formal bidding process begins.
The Twitter is saying that Glazers are not going to be responsible for the debt they have caused and left to the club. I’m not sure why it’s clickbait rubbish to say that.
There is an article on the Mail website basically saying the same thing, and also that the current minority stake holder in Liverpool might increase their percentage in the club that would negate the need for FSG to sell, which some think they don't really want to do yet.
Seems alot for them is hinging on what happens to us over the next few months.
Still no real news I guess...
Ratcliffe’s only being dubbed the frontrunner because he’s the only one they know that’s got concrete interest and can put a name to. They’ve got feck all new info and are just rehashing what we already know.
Man this is moving so slowly. I thought we would get a clearly picture end of January, start of Feb but it seems like this is either going to take a long time or gonna get announced out of the blue
I reckon hes only the front runner because no one else has made their interest known yet publically so journalists cant report it. They are hardly going to say Amazon are front runners and take a massive hit to their credibility when it turns out to be total bull.
Konnichiwa.Japanese owners confirmed.
I'd suspect Chinese, a lot of billionaires there and one might fancy the opportunity to flex their ego and get more visibility.Japanese owners confirmed.
I think the ultimate buyer of Liverpool will be the guys that narrowly missed out on United.
What a crappy consolation prize that is!
A bit like Bullseye back in the day “let’s see what you could have won! Oh it’s an Austin Metro, bad luck Nevermind!”
End of the month I expect some news but until then it's going to be very long wait
It's over. I'm on this train now and no one can stop it. Manchester United-chan on the rise, our dominance is assured:
“AND BULLYS 2ND PRIZE!…….. a loovely washer dryer”What a crappy consolation prize that is!

Biggest change of ownership in football history potentially, so I never expected it to be quick or a rush job honestly. All the signs point to it going in a very wealthy direction though.
And if we were told start of the season they would be gone end of the season, we would have been elated
Thought I read the other day the Glazers still don’t want to sell and are only interested in investors, This news of a sale was just testing the market to see what is possible.
They’ve probably maximised the money the club can return without major investment hence why they are looking for investors.
Does feel as if the “selling“ news has died down a bit as you would think there would be news of more bidders than just Ratcliffe.
That’d be hilarious!
