So, who will the Rags be happy to buy them?
Some pretty tight criteria for them.

1. Must have in the region of £5 billion to hand over to the Glazers.
2. Must have fuck knows how much to pay off their debt.
3. Must have a shitload more to spend on the stadium and training facilities.
4. Must buy the club outright without leveraging the debt.
5. Must not take any dividends out of the club.
6. Must be seen to invest their own money into the club.
7. Must not rename the stadium.
8. Must not be Arab.
9. Must not be Russian.
10. Must not be Chinese.
11. Must not be American again.
12. Must not be from a country with any sort of Human Rights issues.
13. Must be happy to accept that any time they lose a game they will think they bought Norwich.
14. Must be happy to have abuse directed at them every time they fail to win the league / Trophy.
15. Must be happy to pay a raging alcoholic £2million a year to sit in the stands.
16. Must be prepared to live in the past instead of looking to the future.

I'm sure there is a queue a mile long of suitable owners they will be happy with.

I've got a feeling there will be some moral gymnastics taking place,

17. Must also meet the approval and expectations of their great socialist hotelier and human rights envoy/hypocrite, Gary Neville (affectionately known as Rat Boy).
 
Just a quick update, my proposal to put together a consortium to buy the rags is gathering pace.
So far I have had firm offers of a score, which let's face it, is more than the rags get most weekends, 3p and a curly wurly. I'm just going to recheck the posts in case I e missed anyone off but all I will say is, my offer to join me in buying the rags will close Thursday night as I want to put the bid in when the New York Stock Exchange opens Friday.

Assuming Blue Mist's consortium doesn't raise sufficient funds, I've had an interesting thought about why the Glazers are doing this now. Various estimates and rumours reckon the rags could net the glazers 6-10 billion yet just 4 billion would buy the dippers. How about the glazers buying the dippers, pocketing a cool net 2-6 billion in the process and opening up an entirely new market to tap into, and of course a new club to completely screw up in the process.

I'd laugh my tits off if that happened

MUST be joking.

Another group of fans just like their red shirt friends in Liverpool who want a say in the ownership and running of both clubs.

Never have these 2 $worn enemies and bitter ‘Red Shirt’ rivals off the pitch been so close, so friendly and with the same (own) goals as they have now.

——

Finally any new ownership structure must embed supporters, including a degree of fan share ownership, in their operating model.

Manchester United's fans are its greatest asset and hold the key to unlocking the true value of any football club. That relationship has to be one of equals - sharing in ownership and and unified with the same goals.

So now you can do two things for your legacy - the first is to prioritise the best interests of Manchester United Football Club over the financial interests of the selling shareholders. Our club, at this moment in time more than ever, needs the right ownership and that should be the priority rather than simply the highest bidders and highest return for you.

So the very same people who have spent 17 years protesting about the glazers and singing songs about them being killed now want the glazers to do them a favour and miss out on monet by selling them to a lower bidding buyer.

They also want a stake in the club - I presume they have the hundreds of millions required for a 10% stake or do they want that handed to them?

And we all know that all of those demands will go out of the window if they think they’re going to win anything. Just like the protests against the Glazers stop every summer when they spend shitloads of money and then start again a month or two later when they realise they’ve bought dross. Someone needs to recreate that Liverpool boom and bust cycle graph with one showing the likelihood of a rags protest.

Whatever happened to that 'bring Ronnie home' group and funds ? Wasn't it a £10 and you got a free shirt ?
