United Thread - 2022/23

[Blue Mist]

The truth is, the Glazers looked on BM and saw the dip thread was catching up on the number of posts made. The simple solution, in fact the only solution, was to sack ronny and pretend they were selling.

Nice one Malkys lads

The rags are making them money. It makes no business sense to sell your cash cow to prop up the ones that aren't. Sell the malls keep the rags.

Yup, but there is no one wanting to buy malls any more. Busted flush. On line is killing them.

And what they are going to find out is that no one will pay £6 billion for a business with years of toxic administration, a decrepit infrastructure and a stadium that needs replacing.

PSG were bought for around £50m if my google sources are correct
We were bought for £210m
Newcastle £305m

Good investments and the clubs will all be worth a lot more now

Would be hard to say the same when a club is valued at 5 or 6 billion!

Also how much do the united fans who are wanting new owners want to spend in the transfer market? Given that they’ve spent well over a billion in the past year and not get very far with it

FFP will hamper their transfer activity.

Oh, wait - I forgot.
It's the SCUM!
Different rules apply.

It’s like that now but with a billionaire owner willing to plough money in and not taking out like ours, PSG and Newcastle they will be a big problem, if there brand gets going again ffp won’t be a problem to them and will be able to outbid anyone

They outbid everyone now. They outbid us, who supposedly can buy any player in the world, on numerous occasions

Its been the way theyve spent it thats been the problem.
Theyll get it right again eventually

Whats the saying about monkeys, typewriters and Shakespeare?

Less chance of getting shot by shopping online.

Pure olive oil, naturally.....

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,

Brilliant, loving no.15.

Ratcliffe is able to do all of that. He’s loaded; from Manchester; is a rag; loves the glory.

I believe he’ll also be able to invest another billion on the rag’s infrastructure as its outside FFP ( not that FFP applies to rags of course)

Think he’ll be the only bidder at the price the glazers want & will get it all - sadly.
