Could all this alleged investment in players (Felix, Casemiro, Caicedo) be linked to this potential sale?
I think a sale happens in the next 31 days, my hunch.
I fail to see how Trump is worse than the oil barons. Like.. really? We're talking about beheadings, stonings, burning people alive...
Great post. I also think MUFC was offered to the global elite. One don’t have to invest 2 billion and wait for a couple decades to have an iconic club. Iconic? Legendary club. The Glazers will suck out every penny from the deal. USD6 billion net from this deal is a nice capital gain.I posted this earlier in another thread but I'll post it here for those that missed it. Here's why I believe there's legs to this story.
I actively trade the stock market on a daily basis, about 2 days ago there was some insane and sustained volume on options on the Man Utd stock. Specifically call options (you buy contracts worth 100 shares each and you state a price you think the stock is going to and by which date, high risk, high reward, they expire worthless if it doesn't happen).
To put in perspective how much this is abnormal for the Man Utd stock, trading volume was up 3500% on the stock from your average day.
The call options are for the price to hit $14 within the next 31 days. There has been a large amount of money placed on this happening.
Fast forward two days later and Musk makes a joke about *buying Manchester United and Bloomberg (responsible for all serious market news and data) publish a story about Glazers looking to sell a stake.
There's one of two things at play here, Musk has taken part in some clear market manipulation (which he's been found guilty for a few times) and this is a planned joke on the market in general. When something like this happens it attracts day traders to jump in which creates more volume, it happens to a lot of random stocks, see GME, AMC and BBBY for examples.
OR
A stake in Manchester United is being offered around the wealthy in America and someone with that kind of inside information is having a punt the stock going up.
In my opinion is the latter of the two.
I would ask you to make this simpler to understand but maybe you have and I'm just incredibly thick.They are. When they sell B shares, the shares sold automatically convert into A shares, but the b shares they DONT sell remain as b shares and don’t convert into As until the Bs represent less than 10% of the total outstanding shares.
Trump has no morality at all and clearly does have blood on his hands. 5 deaths on Jan 6th, completely complicit in actions like Kyle Rittenhouse killing 3 BLM protestors to name one of many such incidents, his supporters showing up with weapons at FBI offices just last week. You could argue that as awful as those regimes are they at least do the things they do out of a misguided belief that they are acting correctly in accordance with their beliefs. Trump would also make us pine for the days of the Glazers, it would be completely about his vanity and ego and he wouldn't risk a penny of his own funds to improve anything.
Call me stupid here but what's better? 6 billion in cash now or 10-20 million a year in dividends. I know which one I'd choose...
That's not what they are apparently doing...They wont be making 6 billion by selling minority shares though.
Its probably another nice little nest egg for them while keeping control of their golden goose.

Right? All of this is speculationKey word being apparently.
Of course it is. Similar to the DoF role days after Woodward had chants about him going to die, and so on.Trying to pour cold water on upcoming protests.
I would think we would protest even harder now, the Glazers are joltingTrying to pour cold water on upcoming protests.
Been obvious for a while in my opinion. There was a Ratcliffe puff piece about why he would be a great owner last week by the very journalist who broke this story. The Chelsea bid was to get his name out there in my opinion.holy feckbalsksidndndd

United supporting billionaire wants to buy the club?
Maybe not sale, but confirmation of agreement reached or pending sale.31 days? If so, club books have been passed on a while ago.

Agree, but can see this rumbling on longer than the FDJ saga.Sell before the fecking transfer window closes atleast if you ever going to for fecks sake!
No, unless it was the new investor. If anything we won't spend much money now it doesn't make sense. Maybe a few sketchy loan deals.Could all this alleged investment in players (Felix, Casemiro, Caicedo) be linked to this potential sale?
