Come on the glazers, dig in and don't budge, set the selling price at a ridiculous amount so nobody will touch it.

 

[bluelol]

Yes, but only if the plan is to brick the windows etc etc ....If once we've burnt it down we can set it to pasture for alpacas then I'm definitely in.

Hitler had the best idea when he bombed the place and turned it into the hole that the place is.!!

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

I meant “Ronny”. Oh how giddy they were in his return!! I had one tell me he’ll win them the champions league

The rags could have sold Ronaldo in the transfer window but didnt. Now he walks away. That's great business lol

Statement from the Glazers & United.

More via the link.

Manchester United plc (NYSE:MANU), one of the most successful and historic sports clubs in the world, announces today that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is commencing a process to explore strategic alternatives for the club.

The process is designed to enhance the club's future growth, with the ultimate goal of positioning the club to capitalize on opportunities both on the pitch and commercially.

As part of this process, the Board will consider all strategic alternatives, including new investment into the club, a sale, or other transactions involving the Company.

There can be no assurance that the review being undertaken will result in any transaction involving the Company. Manchester United does not intend to make further announcements regarding the review unless and until the Board has approved a specific transaction or other course of action requiring a formal announcement.

So they’re not actually for sale. A sale is just one of the alternatives they might consider.

That’s Lingard, Pogba & Ronaldo gone now, I think the proper laughing days could be coming to an end. Shame.

Oh ye of little faith. The next rag multi billion dollar fuckup is only ever a transfer window away. They could build a time machine, teleport back to 2008 and buy Messi, and it’d still be a disaster.

The yanks and dips are selling because the closed shop Super League isn't happening. That seems to rule out Yank investment in either.
China has put the brakes on Chinese investors, no Russians. The middle east ? I somehow doubt it. Looking at us and Newcastle, they buy the clubs with potential to grow. I think the dips will struggle to sell at the price they eant. The rags supposedly have the Ineos fellah. He would use borrowed money but it really is a bad time to go into debt.
Personally I think the rags won't be sold, it's a ploy to keep them in the news.

A ploy to make their share price rise. Glazers then plunder money for crimbo shopping. Win win

Just corporate-speak for Get Me Out Of Here.

 

[markstephenhickey]

Wanting between 6-9 billion.

Needs a full stadium revamp ontop.

Carrington needs rebuilding.

Players need to be bought.

Liverpool also on the market as competition for a bidder.


Lol good luck.

Yep, that's how I see it too.

Anything is for sale at any time for the right price!

This has been knocked up on what would have been an embarrassing day for the Club.
The returng hero fucks off after taking a fortune out and exposing a whole list of truths about them. Shit squad, shit facilities and unprofessionism.

Remember the fan fanfare when he arrived, apparently he snubbed us and was to take them to the title!

This genius manager of theirs has them in exactly the same position they were in a year ago!

Compare to Eddie Howe for example who has transformed the Mags.

 

[BlueRockape]

Listening to slimey Stone this morning it's ours and Newcastle fault ; )

 

[oscbarcelona]

It maybe harder now for them to find a buyer than it was before.

In addition they should not delude themselves that any new owners are likely to saddle the club yet again with debt , they may even take a leaf out of Barcelonas books and finance off the future income of the club. Especially when they are needing to rebuild everything.

Ojalá

So they are for sale then.

Yank investment not wholly out of the question, but the field is smaller. They would need a rich man/men who are very vain. Pop stars and film stars spring to mind.
Dubai might be interested provided they haven’t bought the dips first.
Ineos put in a late bid for Chelsea, so……
Somebody might consider moving them to a purpose built complex along Etihad campus lines and selling existing site for commercial development.
I think it’s all about the investment needed into the Old Toilet and Glazers short of cash.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Simon Stone offers his 'anslysis'. Journalism at its most shallow and superficial.
Shame he offers no insight into current financial markets, impact on debt payment, costs to future investors for leveraged buy-outs, impact of exchange rates, off shore tax arrangements etc etc...
Seems the BBC are awash with the political posturing on sport but not the more sinister aspects of globalisation and financials involved.

Simon Stone doesn't klnow his arse from his elbow, and everything is scripted for him to deliver the rag message.

He is not a journalist just a paid mouthpiece .

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

My choice of new owner would be a middle eastern potentate, human rights denier, rolling in more diesel than the Good Sheikh, and I would await the response from the RDAHMeedya as to how they would do stuff 'the Yoonited Way' and after due diligence the FA would find them the most honourable among billionaire owners.

“Finally we might get an owner who’ll spend some money”

Is what I’m seeing every United fan saying now. Sat there with the worlds most expensively assembled and highest paid squad ever.

I hope it’s another shit Yank

 

[svennis pennis]

They will be able to justify any potential owner because they are ‘history’.

 

[waspish]

Correct and it boosted there share price! If share price drops again they just leak to a the rag bias media that a deal is close to sale to a Qatar prince! It’s a no brainer for the glazers to come up with this propaganda just like the FSG did!

It’s like the media and the fans have the goldfish syndrome when it come to spending on players! They did spend 220m last summer not one word from the media about that or the 1.4b spent in last 10 years!

They just don't get it mate at all, they think that they can just go out and buy Mbappe for £250m and stick two fingers up to FFP-the rule that they and others were so much in favour of to slow City down! Their revenue wont grow much further than it already is to cover the amount on transfers that they expect.

God bless FFP!
