Within reason yes.

The real question should be, could something that has been repeated ad nauseum still carry meaning?
One Hag
It makes no sense. No one yet, who believes they will stay, have been able to explain a viable option which means that they will stay.
Even if all the siblings stay and give up some shares to Elliot, they would be expected to reinvest that money (something which they've not done in the past 18 years), and bank on being successful, to somehow grow the club to a point where they will make more than the $1bn they're apparently looking for now. All whilst paying the stupid interest fees which Elliot will charge them.
And let's not forget, there is already a small pool of people who will pay $6bn. You p*ss these off now, do you think they'll be around next time around?
Exactly

I perhaps am one of those who don’t think there is any change for glazers not selling.
They will sell.
It isn’t about their reputation within Manchester United fans that’s at stake, it’s the wider business community that they need to interact on regular basis or future opportunities. Trust still matters in business and I don’t think they would want to rock that boat especially if the offers they are receiving are attractive already.
Also why haggle for another 0.5b when you can use the 5.5b (eg) to find another opportunity where you can get 5-10x in 10-20 years, something United won’t be able to deliver at their expected valuation.
I am sure they would not want this whole exercise to be seen as a way to con market and raise external investment, there is too much to lose in a broader context with these tactics.

I can only apologise.
Red flags and Di Maria vibes all over this.
Half Hag.
Too late. The horse has bolted.
Either you play the proper way or you don’t.Ad Nauseam. Now write it out a hundred times.
Five is half of Ten, hence my answer stands.
Six Hag
Haven’t seen anyone mention it yet but the big question here is.
On which page did people start referring to Sheikh Jassim as SJ?
Surely a person needs 3 names/titles like Sir Alex Ferguson or Erik Ten Hag before their name gets abbreviated to just initials?

Interesting point and says a lot about them. All feel the need to inform and dictate. When really they could drive traffic and clicks by just discussing with their audience in the absence of any intel or developments that they’re aware of.
An important question being raised by s here
The guy’s dad is called “ Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber bin Mohammed bin Thani Al Thani” you can take a guess at how many names he has but I’m certain it’s more than 3
For those that are curious the bin = “Son of”
So he’s most likely Jassim bin Hamad bin Jassim ……………. So SJH?
Not sure the S is necessary either. His dad is HBJ so surely he should be JBH. Cos that’s not confusing at all!
If it truly is 6 billion or nothing for the Glazers I expect we will see a minority deal done with Elliott instead which will put the club in a dire position of course.
If our only options involve the Glazers and or Elliot, then I'd rather Jim make a deal with Elliott than see the Glazers stay on in any capacity.

Too Jassy for you?
Such an educational experience the caf is
It's definitely more than 3. And SJH would be more appropriate.
But if we want to get pedantic then most people have 3-4 names if you include their middle names.
The point of my tongue in cheek post was that Sheikh Jassim is being shortened to SJ for no apparent reason.
No ones ever called Sir Alex, SA or Erik Ten ET for example.
945 pages to say Qatar are buying us because they have the most money.
I think the problem might be that it's not Jassy enough.

And SJ isn’t the best abbreviation in this case, because it could equally refer to Sir Jim.
Don't forget the 7,300 posts with people saying "but what about their morals"
Funny they say he’s due to leave this summer. The interview I read with him is that he’s given notice but will work with them one final year to help them find and onboard his replacement
Jassy Jeff
Are they though? 1 billion off the asking price and we know the Glazers greed has no limits.
Minority investment by Elliott still as likely as Qatar for now
Elliot’s lending for AC Milan takeover has the rate above 20%. Just saying.
Do billionaires walk alone?
I would hazard a guess that if the Qataris offered 5.5b with full removal of debt, and Ratcliff offered 5.6b without removal of debt, they would pick Ratfcliff to buy the club. That is how much they don’t care about how good the new owners will be for new club they owned for 20yrs.
Looks like the Qatari bid know that the Glazers are playing a game. They’ll probably submit a bid if they have assurances that the sale will go through.
You think billionaires walk?
