They aren’t seeking to buy the club though so very different.
On the other hand we'd retain the moral high ground
Might as well fold the club
Most people who are against Qatar would be on ideological grounds, so would not take any corporation or investment fund over Qatar.
What’s the point in wanting the worst for your club? For moral superiority?
Ethically, the Americans are up there with some of the worst, we just accept it because it's better the devil you know.
Just in case anyone feels like going back to the early 90's Elliot website and making your feelings known having a friendly chat: https://www.elliottmgmt.com/make-contact/media-inquiry/
Elliot group probably means Glazers will stay and idc what anyone thinks , that’s thee worst outcome.
The Glazers are letting them into the second round so they can either get a minority sale and keep the club for longer or to force the Qataris to pay more by saying they prefer the minority sale *wink wink
He means they don't want to outright buy United, that's not what they do.
Elliott Management:
Probably shouldn't be suggesting this as it's the kinda thing that can get the caf in trouble but that is one hilariously poor website, I'll give you that.
Ah fair enough, yeah it’s clear they are the option to partner up with someone be it the Glazers or outside bet of Sir Jim.
I still don’t see how this minority sale works as it would involve the Glazers reinvesting monies in to the club. Something they have never done.
I’m surprised people really see this as likely to happen based on everything we know about them.
Gary never stops crying.
I remember seeing claims Elliot already had some close links with the Glazers. I do wonder if they are rather playing along here, without any expectation of being seriously considered, as a favour to help strengthen the Glazers position.
I hope Qatar get this deal done ASAP. Elliot and the Glazers teaming up is like some sort of horror movie
I think in the case of a minority investment, what the money will be used for will be outlined in the investment terms, not a kind of "just give us a billion and we'll return it x2, trust me bro" approach.
A bullet to the head is starting to appeal. Hahaha.
Jim still best option for me assuming the debt is cleared which some are saying it would be.
Qatar will still win though. I have thought that from the off.
They might have culture and focus, but do they have Pashun and ‘Eritage?
Not for me thanks.
These greedy lizards are a joke, just sell the club up. Sitting there as if they have build this great institution. Horrible watching this unfold.
What's worse is that it could continue but with more vultures perched on OT for years yet. Imagine how badly they're going to strip assets when there's more investors wanting a kick back?
Nobody is turning down 5B for a loan.
From what I see I think it’s now offering finance for others to compete a takeover as well as Glazers. There’s absolutely no suggestion, apart from early hysteria that’s been regurgitated, that they’re trying to stay unless I’ve missed something?
At this level, no minority investor is going to be looking for a ROI via dividends - the club's revenues simply don't support that.
Elliott are offering finance for would-be investors/owners and/or debt financing for the OT/Carrington refurb.
Elliott don't want to own any part of United, but they are happy to secure lending for those that do.
frankly as fans we should be united in doing everything in our power (not violence) to oppose Elliot having any part of the club.
Maybe it's written on the
The Qatar flag is already on the United home kit's collar.
It still means the Glazers spending money on the club though. Putting in not taking out. That’s not what they do.
I’ll say again, I still fully expect Qatar to be our new owners, every day nothing is presented that really sways me from that opinion.
I bet they pitched the same thing to the former owners of AC Milan.
I would say the dynamics are different. Bayern Munich runs a monopoly in Germany. With all the talents in Germany (in addition to a few ones recruited from outside Germany) ,it almost correct to say that, winning two champions league within that specific period should be the minimum. They would only need to concentrate on the UCL without thinking about their league.
Comparatively,the situation is different in England where the EPL is gradually becoming the Super League. The competition here is very keen and Man Utd don't have the luxury to monopolise the system. We are competing with super rich teams like Chelsea,Man City and now New Castle in addition to the other household names like Liverpool, Arsenal,etc.
And very soon more teams in the EPL would be heading towards super rich owners.
I believe it would be very disgusting to see Man Utd fall down the pecking order especially seeing our bitterest rivals taken over by some of these multi-billionairs/sovereign funds/states.
I have seen enough of Citeh and I wouldn't be able to stand Liverpool taken over by such entities especially after rejecting their offers and playing moral trumpets here. I don't even want to talk about the humiliating scorelines and the kind of ordeal and humiliation they would serve us with.
This is our chance.
If you can't beat them, join them.
Yeah that’s what I’m saying. The idea that they’re there to prop Galzers up if they don’t get what they want is misleading.
I can’t see how Glazers could price Qatar out but have Elliott finance the club at their ridiculous valuation. How any siblings would agree to that is insane
Would we, though? Qatari ownership would undoubtedly be troubling from a principled standpoint, but the people in the higher rungs of Elliott Management seem like absolute scum too. And this is just scratching the surface...
