Who hasn't it gone down well with? Of Raine/Glazers weren't happy, they could have refused the extensions and continued owning the club, or, accepted the bid of the others who bid.
Not too sure why it hasn't gone down well.

Should be doable but yeah a lot of work.
I do see your and others points that the other bidders might be minority only. Otherwise this really wouldn't make much sense.

It should go down well if the delay reason is to outdo one another so a higher fee for Glazers
Id imagine that a few things came to light in the accounts that needed working through and fully understanding……when the club is hiked up on multiple loans structures and other, one would assume, complex financial structures, exits from said loans are not always black and white.
Serious bidders would need more than 7 days to fully understand and be comfortable with this and how do we know how quickly questions raised would have been answered thoroughly?
Don’t think any extension in time being given is any concern - probably given by Raine as they couldn’t get all the answers back in time.

What are the chances neither bid arrives, scary times indeed.
Zero, ya wet lettuce.
This.
This is a clear message from INEOS and Qatar that they will not overpay and be held to ransom. They have held back and waited to see what offers are no the table. It is no coincidence that both parties did not bid.
I agree. Also how many weak teams could they play their reserves and win against, resting their better players over a weekend before the midweek Ch Lge game? Our teams, apart from City who have virtually 22 exceptional players anyway, dont hav that luxury. Probably 17/18 teams can beat each other on their day.
This is a lesson that just like the transfer window, the media know very little about what is actually going on and are mostly guessing
The process is ongoing and will not happen fast - even once a bid is accepted it could take months of legals to actually close it
Deals of this size don't happen quickly - it took 18months from Mike Ashley accepting a bid from Saudi Arabia before the deal was actually done. There were some special circumstances there but anything is possible.

This is a good one. How it Jim Ratcliffe a "generational recipient of success on the backs of English Slavery and colonialism"
He grew up in a council house, with a father who was a joiner and a mother who worked in an accounts office.
I was just about to say the same thing. Well said.Here’s some wild-eyed speculation/fantasy. Big Jim is still trying to source a better price on his finance/someone to partner up with to bridge the gap. The Qataris have the inside track and aren’t going to put in a bid that might not be the highest, so they backed out and won’t go back in until JR has.
Yeah that sounds about right.
Not very wild i think, when you consider the makeup of team jassim. Big hitters from the financial world in there.
This misunderstanding and counter claiming bollocks is the sort of thing that happens before relations break down and a takeover deal collapses.
I speak on behalf of all of RedCafe when I say this is the beginning of the end and we'll soon get a Glazer statement confirming their intention to stay

Is there a compilation video of all Kaveh Solhekol videos from the last 2 week?
It would be very comical viewing.
The glazers want to sell. The glazers don`t want to sell. Qatar won`t overpay. Qatar will overpay. It`s classified information. I`m being told. The glazers want 6bn. No one knows how much the glazers actually want.

I for one, do not welcome our new old terrible overlords, The Glazer Clan.
I speak for you when I say I agree
He's got the easiest job going. He's completely pointless.
It’s done.
Glazers for another 18

Was reported that jassim asked for an extension after Ratcliffe asked for an extension.
Maybe they don't trust the process within Raine (ie leakage of information) and didn't want to expose themselves by sending the bid in a day before Ratcliffe's?

I think the more romantic option is Sir Jim, alas I feel this is the one most likely to be the worst option. Rarely do these match made in heaven options actually fulfill the promise.
If the extension request initially came from Qatar's side, I imagine it's because they want to outbid the rest of the field.
I somewhat imagine that, were this to indeed be the case, the Glazer's and whoever else is frustrated by the extension might be able to overcome their frustrations fairly quickly.

Do we take it that as Sky are saying Raine have stated that they have received other bids for investment in the club that Ineos and Qatar are the only ones going for a full buy out. If so, less than a week is quite a short time to fully go over the books when such a vast amount of money is required.
The Glazers, one presumes.
How long this extension is hasn't been mentioned yet has it?

No deadline, according the the BBC. The extension is indefinite.
Love how there are so many experts on this willing to make huge inferences, yet slag off the journos for knowing nothing.
Transfers are highly volatile as it has too many moving parts in it. You have the seller (owner, DOF, manager) , the buyer (owner, DOF, manager) , the player, his agent (or agents) and if he's got a collective type of culture then his family and friends will also have a say in it. This is different. Most journalists agreed that the deadline was tomorrow, they committed themselves that both main players has bided and it turned out that that was false. Its a binary thing. Has the bids gone in or not? They said yes and then they said no.
So fitting that the selling of the club is being handled in the same way Woodward handled transfers.
No-one is slagging them off for knowing nothing, they are slagging them off for tweeting absolute nonsense all day yesterday.
These people get paid for this.
Glazers just want as long as possible to get the highest bidder. They do not care about selling united to the best people for the club. They just want to squeeze as much money as possible out of this. Wish they would just feck off already and leave this club alone, they have done enough damage.tired of this already.
If your professor tells you that the moon is made of cheese and you go there and it turns out its made of rock then surely you'll start wondering if your professor is an idiot. We're not talking about a mistake in the small print here. Either INEOS and Jassim had placed a bid or they had not. Its a binary thing.
