We need Elon Musk!! And his billions
Michael Knighton preparing a hostile bid to remove the Glazers
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Back to the Future then.
I read the title as Michael Keaton at first for some weird reason.
We need someone like Phil Knight rather than this pretender.
Twitter is hilarious right now people losing their minds over this video.
One person said all he needs is Jim Radcliffe on board with him, like yes Jim Radcliffe Britain's wealthiest man needs Michael Knightons help to buy United ridiculous

There is nothing worse than the glazers
I’d rather be relegated
Has this eijit released a video to tell us all he is literally "preparing a bid"?
Read the fecking room man.

We’re probably worth less than Chelsea went for.
Masses of revenue but I can’t imagine we have many costs that could be cut. Few playing assets. A stadium that is only valuable as development land.
We’re ripe for a takeover.

Kick ups on the pitch?
I think he should stick to painting.
How have you figured that one out? Our revenue streams are far higher, we have a far bigger fanbase and we own our stadium. Proper investment, competent decision makers and the fanbase together behind the owners and the growth potential is huge.
A little hyperbole I think (from me)
Our playing squad needs £500m invested. Our stadium is a liability, not an asset, our fan base is shrinking, not growing.
I went OTT. but we’re not worth as much as many would think.
Potential is massive. Issue is they aren’t interested in selling for anything other than a hugely inflated fee. Chelsea are spending over 300m on the squad this summer and are still miles off city so they needed huge investment on top of that fee themselves.
It's hilarious. This guy once sacked a manager and put himself in charge. As if any serious businessman would want anything to do with this joker.
Whatever his motives are at least it gets the snowball rolling. If this in any way or form helps spark the protests and boycotts that are needed then happy days.
Who dis?
He's a small time grifting prick with as much chance of buying United as you or me. Anybody who could make any kind of serious difference to the status quo wouldn't want to even be accidentally associated with him.
Can't take it seriously if it's this guy.
Potential is massive from 2022-2025. I don’t see it increasing beyond that.
We’ll be Aston Villa inside a decade without a buy out
I get your sentiment but shockingly yes, there is. Saudi Arabia is prime amongst them. I’m confident fan ownership would be a shit show too.
Barca are making themselves a pretty good advertisement for the pitfalls of fan ownership lately indeed.
At face value it's perfect, but adding elections, politics and all that comes with that to a football club isn't the best mix.

The David Icke of Man United folklore. Clown, should be given no time. Charlatan, wouldn't trust a word from him. Get rid of the crooks in charge, let's not listen to his drivel though.
Yep, I agree. Anyone trying to drum up interest from various parties is an ally in my books.
We need more like him imo.
No problem. I understand that you got some knowledge in this environment. Very good post. The model the Glazer are using is not the worst if they had somewhat different approach around fans, media and probably employees. Economically they have done a very good job. Sports wise they should have done what they are doing now right after Ferguson left. They got away with it with him.
I like your ideal owner, especially if that owner can be long term and wants growth. My ideal owner would probably be less rich and more hungry on both economic growth as well as the sporting side.
Definitely. Positive thinking. I’m looking forward to seeing the protests for the Liverpool game and fair play to everyone involved.
Slimy character. Do not trust.
Or even worse, Fred
Higher chance we sign FDJ than him buying us.
There were over 100 offers for Chelsea , I think we’d get similar numbers perhaps a little less considering location and similar valuation of 2-3 Bln considering recent events. In the world economy it’s not tht much when you have the likes of Microsoft paying 70bln for call of duty.
I reckon he was on the sauce early this morning
Hopefully he'll be able to find some affluent and like-minded people to back him up.
Please someone with money buy this club because not sure how much more of these yankee scumbags I can actually take
I want to buy United too, but with what money?
Then, before the takeover is completed, he will announce to kickstart the planning to play the first football match on mars.
Let's play the match on Venus if it means the Glazers can feck off.
I swear to you that I really wish that Paul Allen was still alive. He was loved by all of Seattle when he was the owner of both the Seahawks and the Sounders.
