Or that? They will accept a lower offer?
"Damage the Glazer family".
Yes. As if the last 20 years haven't already done so.
These parasites really are tone deaf. Are they that oblivious to what is going on?
It'll be just a different way or wording the same thing, the Glazer's only have 69% of the club to sell, and Qatar are saying they will but 100% of what they're selling - that's the way I read it
Qatar can't get a greenlight as such because they would have to make a public offer to buy the A class shares which they haven't yet
Elliot can feck off, it’s literally the worst case scenario. I guess we’ll just have to pin our hopes on the Qataris
They know themselves how shite they are as owners.

He believes that both Ratcliffe and the Qatari are only aiming for the 67% class B shares. The others are simply too expensive for their controlling power worth. If the Qatari want to buy all then their offer would be vastly inferior to that of Ineos. Its simply silly to bid for them at this point
Cheers. yeah could be that too.
quite sensitive for blood sucking parasites happy to kidnap the club into a league they made up for themselves, aint they
We know
The Qatari bid did throw shade at the Glazers mind. I did think that when reading it Yet again this is great PR for that bid - as they’ve now pissed the Glazers off.

Nobody has actually formally tabled a bid yet. These are just indicative offers. Once the interested parties have been given full access to United's financial information (presumably next week) there will be a couple of rounds of formal bidding ahead, during which Raine will try to drive the price up as much as possible and look to pair off various minority investors. I wouldn't get too hung up on the prices that are currently being reported - they don't mean a whole lot and are likely to be revised in the next 3-4 weeks.
Obvious Dailymail PR campaign is obvious....
also explains why it's been so quiet regarding the other bids
Good point.
But it is his opinion. And we don’t even know what either parry has offered. The only thing we know is that INEOS have said that it is for a majority stake, so the Glazers share, while Qatar have said a full takeover. The 4B or 5B are just guesses at this stage, heck the offers might even include clearing the debt or whatever (for example the ‘4B’ Chelsea takeover actually was 2.5B to Abramovich and a pledge to invest 1.5B in the club).
The details will come later, probably when the deal is made. People are just guessing at this stage.
The Gimps aren’t arsed about criticism.
There is no guarantee we would turn into a circus like PSG,just remember we have a manager more in control than them. Presumably you are very much backing Ratcliffe from that first paragraph then. He still hasn't made me sit up and take notice with his statements like Qatar did. Have heard nothing at all about investment in redevelopment either so far.
Apologies if this was mentioned earlier but what will happen with the stocks fans own?? The 5 shares I have worth $100 or something will be lost?
They are arsed about a PR campaign that puts one bidder way out in front and stops a bidding war though…
You have to laugh at the delusion here. "Don't make us look bad". As if anyone's opinions of the Glazers could possibly get any lower.
I doubt there will be any kind if bidding war between Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar to be honest.
Yeah that part is true but seeing what they are prepared to offer, Ineos have tough competition to beat
Between two bidders? Not much chance of that descending into a bidding war, no. I very much doubt there will only be two bidders, though.
For me, this goes to show how much support the Qatar offer is getting from the Manchester United fans.
It's an odd situation to be relying on the Glazer's fragile ego and Qatar's inability to rein in it's own bombast to save the club from state sponsored oblivion.
Ratcliffe doesn't have the facilities or the intent to enter a bidding war with Qatar.
There are two types of shares. The class A shares are the ones floating on the market. The class B shares are the one held largely by the Glazers (woody has 0.5%). The latter has 10 times the controlling power then the former
Therefore even though the Glazers hold just 67% in reality they hold like 99% of power. Those are the shares that count. Buying the A class shares would be insanely expensive with no real benefits. Its like losing out on a central london penthouse because you insisted that the former owner leaves his favourite chair in it
Indeed. Going up against a nation state in an auction where the sellers only care about who offers highest, is an uphill battle for Ratcliffe.
The Glazers are absolutely shameless
I wouldn’t even be surprised if they end up selling to their American banker mates as one final feck you to the fans.

His hope is the authorities block it. That’s the reason why his statement references it being an important time for football governance. Unfortunately for him I think Qatari influence beats his influence in the Tory party.
Sure but
A- raine has zero jurisdiction on the A class shares
B - A class shares are expensive with little benefits in holding them
It's like being a whisker away from buying a penthouse only to bail out because the owner refuse to leave his favourite chair there
Load us up with another loan before they leave and take the money no doubt.The Glazers are absolutely shameless

A class shares get dividends don't they?
Yes, his best bet is the Glazers picking his bid because it is more likely to pass with the football authorities. I don't think that is likely to be decisive though. I would much rather see Ratcliffe win this auction than Qatar, but realistically, the biggest threat to Qatar is US private equity (or another nation state eg KSA). This of course all assumes the Glazers sell outright, which I'm still not wholly convinced about.
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
Yeah that would be dumb decision to say the least
Keegan has said it’s those two plus an unnamed US bid. Saudis haven’t bid.
Maybe the Emir should ask the Glazers if they are interested in doing business in Qatar anymore. I doubt that these rats are interested in pissing off people with huge influence in the Western world and who are sitting on a fund which is 400b +
