Saudi own Newcastle (even if they don’t according to the EPL…) - I just don’t see how them buying United would be allowed. It’s a step too far even for the EPL.

True. There wasn't any real issue about who was funding it though, where there is with the Qatari bid.
They'll probably find a way around it anyway as these types of owners don't follow the rules but the League would have to be incredibly incompetent not to see the Qatari State is behind it.
For a strange reason I am imagining a very old man opening a huge piggy bank and counting every penny up until its 5billion.
I don't want the Qataris for reasons already said which won't go over again now as it's just repeating old ground......
However one thing that I'd worry about under them is bringing in players like Neymar for example. I'm loving the atmosphere at our club right now and the players are all playing like they like and respect each other. Last thing we need is adding another big time Charlie like a Neymar. Pogba n Ronaldo sucked the life out of this team and I don't want to see that repeated.

Do you really think a poll would have any sort of impact on the CAF? In fact, I am bemused to see the mods being so unwilling to allow to run a simple poll. My perception of Redcafe has changed in the last couple of days.
As mentioned in earlier posts.
Qatar exclusively want 100% ownership including any shares on the NYSE.
The offer is £5bln/$6bln what the glazers want to sell.
SJR has offered £4bln for 69% (only glazers shares).

Fella seems like he’s on the bugle with all that snortling and snuffling.
Is it possible those involved in the Qatar bid have already agreed the price for the remaining 31% hence the wording of their statement?
Well if it's equal like that, the Glazers will probably sell to Sir Jim for the better PR
Know I'm confused
Are those 31% nyse listed? If yes, the heavy price increase there would make sense
£5 Billion would be the total package. Glazers + Other shares.
They may have agreed a price to offer to the 31% but these are publically traded shares so there's no guarantee they'd get them
Surely the only reason for buying up the A shares would be to remove it from the stock exchange and remove the red tape and transparency that comes with that?
I don’t think that’s equal if I’m following it correctly?
Probably not to be fair
The Glazer's don't give a shite about PR
What does this show? He just believes that the offer is only for the Glazers shares, it is what he literally said. He even mentioned that Qatar said that the offer is for 100% of the shares.
Agreed, destroying the Earth is unforgiveable.
May lock the thread
I don't think that it's correct. Raine only takes offers for the Glazers share and if I'm not mistake your conclusion is based on the "100%" mentioned which should be 100% of 69% since the statement says, 100% offer to buy out current owners the Glazer family.
Also the belief that the club will increase in value in the future. Finally, if they plan to invest their own money in the future, it makes sense to buy all the shares. Otherwise, they are putting money in the club to increase its value, while other shareholders are just free riders (although technically speaking, the new owners can dilute the shares by issuing new shares that they give to themselves).
“Stop saying you’ll invest money into the club for God’s sake!!!”
This Sky Sports piece sums it up really on how I feel, and how majority of the fans I've interacted with feel.
I'm suggesting by the wording of the Bloomberg article they are valuing the club at £5 billion because they have bid around £4-4.5 billion for the Glazers shares. Hence why I said the total package would be £5 billion or around that figure.
I’ve no idea how it works but thought others might.
The fact they specified 100% though, and INEOS have said 69%, seems to suggest there’s a difference and I doubt such carefully worded statements would get the details wrong.
I’m just assuming that the Qatar bid may have already had the greenlight for the other 31% if that’s even possible.
This part isnt clear. If the bid is for entire 100% then its lower than SJR bid. If its for only Glazer share, then it is 1bn more than SJR bid. If latter is true, Ineos bid wont be accepted no matter what.
If you ever need to get around a paywall real quick in the future just go to Archive.is and copy the link in, works the majority of the time
Yes no way Raine can conduct sale for shares which are publicly traded if they are hired by Glazers. Both bid are for controlling shares which Glazers have. Makes you wonder how Ineos will compete considering their offer is 1bn less.
I see, didn't Bloomberg also suggest that all valuations were the lowest points and only meant to get access to more financial information which should be followed with an other bidding round?

Thanks mate
Yes I believe so.
Both statement mentioned something similar right?
Essentially yeah, seems implausible.
Imagine the glazers cut their noses off to spite their faces and take less money because they’re rightfully being looked upon as being shite 
Well what about SJR insinuating they have taken the Manchester out of Manchester United.
