I can see the Glazers dragging this out to extract as much money as possible out of a prospective buyer. The longer it takes, the more it will effect the summer transfer window.
I think a offer of £5.5bn which includes the debt will be close enough to satisfying the Glazers. It was reported that the Qatari group were planning to submit such a offer and that makes sense. The Glazers would get their $6bn and the debt would be either wiped off or be the concern of the new owner.
You’d imagine any top bid would stipulate an end date for both parties to conclude prior to the summer transfer window. Getting off on the right foot is still important for new owners and I can’t see any reason for it to take beyond the window once a price is agreed. My main worry is they only sell a stake and remain here. If that happens….we are in dire straits.
