Glazers won't sell below their reserve price. After all the hype, there could be no winner.
Brexit Jim trying to win the PR war.
you really still believe the bullshit briefs, it impossible for them to stay because if they do, they might be in trouble for market manipulation. Another reason is that when they tried to make an intent that they were staying. the stock crashed like a terrorist attack.
They're only doing this to convince buyers to increase their bid, nothing more, nothing less.
Is it likely the winner will go after the remaining 31% and take United off the stock market?

It will depend on the respective business models
I genuinely don’t understand this. United would still have to operate within FFP rules and a debt-free United would already be capable of reaching that ceiling WITHOUT the Qataris, right?
Factor in money being absolutely no guarantee of success (side-eye in the direction of France).
This forum is hilarious to read and at the end of the day what will be will be. Everything happens for a reason in life and unless you have a Tardis just sit back and enjoy the ride because the future is never written. Captain Harry Stansfield.
Another ''despotic, autocratic regime where thousands of migrant workers'' died thrown in for good measure?
Tbf Its will be one of the biggest sporting stories in the last few years if not for the decade. So everyone needs to show their editors that they are on board, plugged in.
That’s the plan of Jassim’s team as I understand it.
Like I said earlier, did this Glazer leak come out after Ratcliffe's Telegraph interview? Not surprised if it did. They need a competitive bidding war to maximise their price so they need to create uncertainty in the eyes of the key bidders.
Nice stock pop today. Maybe things are actually getting closer...
Yes they did and pulled it to do it in the US, 10+ years ago!
Buying United would be a 'community' asset.
What were the reasons for buying OGC Nice then? If he french now?
Those had been posted here but obviously ruined in hundreds of the posts by people to fight against each other.
however, that position from UK officials are obvious and understandable.
Politicians never turn down money.
Tbf Its part of the Global Britain/Brexit approach.
City and Newcastle have virtually unlimited funds. Chelsea just spent so much they had to alter the rules.I personally would prefer SJR to takeover, I don't really like the idea of a state owning the team I love, and also I'd rather avoid all islamophobia that could come online with ME owners taking over too, I also don't like Qatar spending this huge amount on a football club when their "Arab brothers" in Syria are struggling financially so much.
Funny there's nothing to be said about the holier than thou posters.
Wonder why that is?
do these expectations exist for western investors/billionaires? Are Qatari folks not allowed to make investments because a country in the region is struggling?
either that or the church are paying in children...Only from ever stepping footin the middle eastoutside Manchester
Why per capita, though? Surely total amount is more appropriate, in which case it's China (by a long way).
Or is it to make Qatar look worse than they really are (not good, obviously)?
No, they're both for the Glazer's 69%.
Jassim said he wants 100% so he will have to buy the other 31% separately.
Same.
I think the only big change in terms of investments and debt will come from an owner who has the means to wipe out the debt and invest in the infrastructure. Someone who has the idea of making a return in 10 years or so. If not, then there is no different whether the Glazers remain in control or not. Anyway, I am looking for some finality so that we can continue progressing as a club. Even if the Glazers stay on, they have no excuse (like in Jan) that investments are pending developments on the sale of the club.
Surely you mean Saint JimSir Jim going all out
I haven't made a moral argument, and frankly, I don't find it interesting. If you weren't desperately trying to score points, you would have noticed that.
An investment in our infrastructure, our youth system, etc. would be a great push for the club. We do not need to spend more on players, but a great academy (again), modern training facilities, a up2date stadium would bring us more money, money we can spend, and would make it easier to convince players.
PR isn't magic, it's an uphill battle when a lot of people here want Qatar. Notice that Al-Thani and Ratcliffe said basically the same thing about not wanting to pay stupid amounts, yet received the opposite reaction on here. From the very same users, in some instances. It's pretty fascinating.
They do not. City have about much funds as United with Glazer debt, Newcastle aren't close.
If he had integrity then he wouldn't work for the Independent
I’d take anything Alex says with a pinch of salt if I were you. Let’s not forget he’s the same poster that just a few months ago was claiming he hated state ownership and absolutely everything it stands for.
I recall he actually was very reliable for the short duration when moyesy was the manager and this guy was his pet. Now he's just shite
