Someone actually made a thread here suggesting they might buy Liverpool instead of us because of the result!Sky are hilariously bad. Like someone would make such knee jerk decisions with the amounts of money involved here.

O Jassim, Jassim, wherefore art thou Jassim?
It'll be funny if they decide Liverpool for cheaper is better.
I think you are confusing tragic for funny.
That guy is a wum.
Hear hear.
I lasted until the 5th, I didn't turn off but I fell asleep. Woke up thinking I had a bad dream United lost 5-0 to Liverpool, glad that wasn't real.
This is the equivalent of an insta like for a transfer. We're moving ever closer and hopefully fast enough to get Osimhens of this world in the summer.
I thought Arnold was closing the Mayfair offices and moving them back up to Manchester?
Can someone tell me if this is legal? Can a sale be sown up before the bidding process is over?
It looks to me like it’s put to a sale and Qatar have agreed to buy us by promising to better the best bid.
I admit it’s a wild guess and I’m clueless on such matters

Are player transfers all done by the rules?
No, that sort of thing can get you fined and barred from managing listed companies in the US.
Isn’t it the mirror opposite of the two Glazers staging a sale with no intent to sell just to get a price to buy out their siblings?
The Glazers can do whatever they want at phase 1 and phase 2. They only lose some sort of control at phase three when due diligence (UEFA and FA) come to play. So why would they commit to the Kensigton's deal? Maybe Qatar gave United a deal they cannot refuse. Alternatively Qatar had offered a deal that is very close to what the Glazers want and they are ironing the details right now.
The link is tenuous at best. If it happened later on in the road, I could get it but at this point Qatar doesn't have a bid offered let alone go through the whole rigmarole of being accepted as owners by the Govt and Premier League.
The Glazers can decide to sell to whomever or not for how ever much they are willing to accept, there is no control on this, in terms of bidding process etc... obv there is the fit and proper owners etc... stuff but in terms of bidding process they can do whatever
If that's what Avram and Joel are doing, and as long as they've only agreed to this plan between themselves, not written it down anywhere or talked to anyone else, yeah they might get away with it.
But if they've already agreed a sale and a price with someone in Qatar, then presumably the circle of people that know is much much larger (bankers, lawyers, etc). Plus when a company is acquired in the US there's a filing (I think S-3 or S-4, but could be wrong) with a section called 'Background of the Transaction' or something like that, where the instances of interaction between the selling party, company board and acquiring party are all described. So the Glazers, the United board, and a bunch of lawyers would be perjuring themselves by describing a phony transaction process (what we're living through now), which would be quite risky and stupid.
Yeah but United aren't moving into Harrods. Or are we?
The article says commercial team based in these new offices but Old Trafford will be the main hub where Arnold will be based. It also has zero mention of Qatar.

I highly doubt the Qataris are going to make a bid without sounding out the goverment first, if the level of investment that's already here is anything to go by then it's a gimme.
Yeah this is ridiculous. The article says we're moving into The Kensington Building which as far as I'm aware is at least 2 miles away from Harrods.
Shocking defeat. I'd imagine jassim watched it and said to his guy:
I want him, (Bruno) to have a minor accident. Put laxatives in his drink.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the government would like to encourage this deal, like they supposedly did with Newcastle and they’re good pals with the Qataris and I don’t think the premier league give a feck as long as you’ve got money……not that it’s anything to do with the Qatari rulers obvs
Think they mean Qatar owns a lot of property in the West London area in general
Wonder if he did a Casemiro and phoned Murtough screaming in Arabic that he will fix us
Oh yeah that definitely happened
If they meant that surely they would say that, rather than "Kensington houses the iconic Harrods, owned by Qatar". Especially given our current office is only a couple of miles away, still in West London.
The reality here is that it's a downsizing of the London offices because the football club is predominantly being ran from Manchester nowadays.
Unless they are actually moving to Harrods or the Shard this is a complete non story.
Is Manchester United the biggest club in West London?
Come on Chelsea fans, take the bait.
Come on Chelsea fans, take the bait.
That's only a half-truth.
Who better to answer that question than Sir Jim Ratcliffe?
What a useless update by Kaveh.
Clearly not many updates right now
