But but it the Qataris buy the scum they will have no fans.Dirty oil money,sportswashing etc double standards or will they all turn thier backs on twgc?

It would be hilarious if Sheikh Jassim was just Sacha Baron Cohen pretending to be a guy from the Middle East bidding on United.

Say someone offered the amount the glazers wanted! How do all the shares secondary shares third rate shares the loans that can’t be paid off but have a length of time to be paid off! Plus what the glazers got going in the Cayman Islands get dealt with!?

Is it not like Qatar writes a check then the clubs there’s clean sheet no loans not a public company anymore?

Am interested how they go about it!?

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

I imagine the glazers casually sticking £2bn on top of a more realistic valuation and also saddling any new owner with huge debts is an issue.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

So the two known bidders along with massive legal teams no doubt managed to put in bids to the wrong place ...the ghost bidder's introduced to hike the price up didn't though.

 

[waspish]

Expect the glazers to extend the bidding to keep the rags fans quiet!

 

[abu13]

interesting that on the news this morning they said whoever gets through this stage of the bidding then gets to see the books in detail before making another bid, I assume this would mean the Cayman accounts as well.

Oh right so the bid is for them to just look at the dodgy books? No wonder the glazers asking for so much!

This is hilarious.

All this bullshit and nonsense wafting from shitstain towers then we have that little twerp solhekol on sky sports news telling everyone this is a world record bid.

And?

I can't see what the problem is, name your price, sell at that price, job done.

Unless the glazers have pulled a flanker and led everyone down the garden path.

What a circus, can't stop laughing.

The whole process is a farce. Why wouldn’t you just say £6b until you get to the final two bids. Then look at the books and hang them out to dry?

Smells suspicious I don’t think the Glazers will sell outright and are fishing for investment.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Just read the last 3 pages on rawkcafe, not one mention of "sportswashers" "human rights abusing" "Anti lgbtq"
all those rags that were going to turn their backs on the club.
The shit theyve given us for 13 years only to spread their desperate cheeks for the qataris.
Should hang their heads in shame the fucking hypocrites.

Hypocrite FC

Sky sports news are fuckin pathetic!

With the rags being on the stock market can’t anyone with enough money just buy up all the shares to eventually own them?

No, because the Glazer-owned shares have got 10x the voting power of the publicly traded ones.

Mainstream media aren't much better. Flick through the sports sections of the tabloids and it's like a rag fanzine.

It really has become a major cause for concern the amount of ingratiating sycophancy that our media heaps upon
that one club. Never a word of criticism, never so much as a single negative phrase to be printed, not one journalist to stand up and print a few home truths about the rags.

On the pitch they have pgmol to look after them, off the pitch they have Sly/BT/BBC/ITV to do the same.

As ever it all comes down to follow the money.

With their 6 trillion worldwide armchair fans united are a huge cash cow for the broadcasters, the media and the PL and FA.

The stake the Glazers has makes that defunct I think

 

[blue cigar]

I lodged an official bid if £6.99 for the club but I don't see my name plastered on sky sports?
One rule for rich oily bastards and one rule for me, pure bias

They know nothing. That Kaveh is a fraud. No one is on the other end of that phone listen to the bile he was saying last night. First ‘broke’ the news a world record bid was made (whatever that means) and half an hour later breaks the news that no bids received and extension granted. He needs calling out live on air but no it’s all just a pantomime rather than actual news.

I notice that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani is increasingly being referred to as "Qatari-based" as though the money is emanating from somewhere less, shall we say, "oily"
