Club Sale | It’s done!

United aren't even a British company anymore, it was transfered to some island tax haven so when the bastards do sell they won't even pay tax on their billions
 
Glazers need to feck off. £5b+ is more than enough given how much investment is required on and off the pitch.
 
Wouldn’t put it past those greedy bastards to reject an offer of £5B simply because they wanted £6B. Surely even they know they’ll never get better than that. Time to feck off once and for all.
 
The prospect of the Glazers getting ridiculously greedy and not selling is quite scary. They won’t invest in capital investment and any loan will be both high interest and loaded into the club
 
Like somebody taking out a 4th mortgage on a house, then asking people to buy it for 100x times it's worth. These lizards need to leave.

Yep that will be that parting gift to the club make sure all our top targets are bought by other clubs. However you would have to hope that Murtorgh and Fletcher are working on players by telling them to wait for an even better contract than Todd Boehly offered!

Fletcher isn't really involved with the planning and his role from what's been reported is one where he's involved with the youth side of the club.

The planning is going to involve John Murtough, Erik ten Hag, Andy O'Boyle (deputy DoF) the two heads of scouting Mayorga and Wells, the video analysis team led by Mick Court and the data science lead, Dominic Jordan. And we've also reported to have brought in Matt Hargreaves to lead on negotiations.

But the vehicle will only move, once there's clarity one way or the other. That might give rival clubs a head start on potential targets.

Because they might bring in worse. Money does not equate to common sense and great judgment. People are blinded by money.

No just not blinded by fear of change, and we wouldn’t be losing successful people so don’t see any concern.
 
There’s no way they accept either. We aren’t that lucky. This will go for another round at least.
 


i.e. the Qatari state find’s it funny that Sir Jim Ratcliffe thinks he can outbid him for the purchase of Manchester United.

It's quite strange how some of the non-football staff have bigger fanbases on here than the actual players.

We're happy to discard players who do not perform, what's the problem with doing likewise with crap executives. Never seen the point of the obsession.

I think Raine would love another serious bidder to come in

If they have WWE next on their hit list, they should get Vince McMahon to make a bid in return
 
Surely the Glazers will sell, having gone to all this trouble….? They’ll get stung for fees from Raine plus have to pay penalties to prospective bidders (right?) and I imagine that’s a no go to tight as feck billionaires who love fleecing assets. We’re getting sold no matter what I reckon.

ChatGPT does it again @Cantonagotmehere

Prompt: Explain a leveraged buyout according to Chaz and Dave.

Certainly! Chaz and Dave were a British musical duo known for their cockney accent and songs about life in London. Here's an explanation of a leveraged buyout using their style and language:
Alright mate, so you're lookin' to buy a business, but you ain't got enough cash in your pocket to do it. No worries, a leveraged buyout is 'ere to save the day!
Here's how it works, yeah? You find a partner who's willin' to put some dough into the purchase with ya. Together, you agree to buy the business for a certain amount, let's say 50 grand.
Now, you and your partner put in some of your own money, maybe 5 grand each. So now you've got 10 grand.
But you still need 40 grand to buy the business, right? So you go to the bank and ask for a loan. The bank agrees to loan you the 40 grand, but they wanna make sure they get their money back. So you use the business itself as collateral for the loan.
So now you've got the 50 grand to buy the business, but you owe the bank 40 grand plus interest.
Your plan is to improve the business, make it more profitable, and increase its value. If you succeed, you can sell the business for more than you paid for it, and that's where the real money comes in, mate.
You use the profits from the sale to pay back the bank loan and your partner's initial investment, and then you get to keep the rest for yourself, ya see?
That's the basic idea of a leveraged buyout, Chaz and Dave style. It's like takin' out a loan to buy a business and makin' it work for ya so you can sell it for a tidy profit.

Stop posting tweets from terrible sources. Known journos only please.

When in doubt, refer to the Journo Tiers in the transfer forum.

To employ a group to sell your asset, have multiple rounds of bidding, force people to come to Manchester for hours or discussions and bring along their best people to negotiate with you also, to then not sell because “nah, changed my mind mate” is terrible, terrible business and would kill any credibility they had when they eventually came around to selling.

I can envisage a scenario where they opt for minority investment but they wouldn’t have encouraged these guys to make 2 bids and waste everyone’s time if they were genuinely leaning that way.

I don’t think it’s scared of them leaving. It’s more frying pan into fire. Realistically none of us know what is going on behind the scenes. We don’t know what direction the club is heading in now. It’s not just a case of appointing Ten Hag, there could be work going on to support Ten Hag, etc.

Also, looking for the “best people” is no guarantee

You'd think Sheikh jassim and his team will have learnt something from the mistakes made by their counterparts at PSG. And also learnt something from Man City who kept Garry Cooke at the club for stability purposes which resulted in Brian Marwood developing their football structure to a very high level.

A DoF imo should be judged on the direction he leads a club towards from a playing perspective. The best DoF for Man Utd is one who will make decisions with a view to developing a team that wants to play proactive attacking football. So you bring in the head coach, the heads of scouting and a data science team that will work collaboratively to make that a possibility.

But unfortunately many fans can't see beyond the transfer window and hype people up based on how quickly they can sign players and not how those players fit into the way the head coach wants to implement his play style. Paratici at Spurs is a classic example of a DoF who has now brought in both Nuno and Conte and signed players that don't really suit the style of Conte. Campos at PSG has also made mistakes where he's being criticised for who he selected as head coach and the players he bought.

And even if a prospective new owner removed John Murtough, it wouldn't really be a big deal because he's (Murtough) already created a structure with the missing pieces that need adding to.
 
If both of these bids are that close and still off of what the Glazers want I fully expect a third round. Tiresome.
