United Thread - 2022/23

[BigJoe#1]

When, or if this bid happens, is the money that is paid money that goes directly to the Glaziers for them to keep all to themselves and do whatever they want with it?

If so how much money will the new owners be allowed to invest into the club for player transfers and modernisation? Will FFP (if applied in this case) dictate the level of investment that can be made and will the amount that it was purchased for be influential to that actual amount?

Or are the Premiere League and UEFA busily redrafting the rules as I type to ensure they are given a free run the whole transfer market - no limitations? A rule that will likely be prefixed with "these enhanced rules will only apply to acquisitions made after (insert date of united take over)"

Under FFP rules I just don't see how anyone that pays such a huge sum can then move forward and invest billions in the squad and infrastructure, given all the shit we've been getting.

Hes Nordic though

He might be Nordic, but he's got balls like pineapples....

Why are we getting a daily update on who has bid or made an improved bid?! There is a fee glazers want! Is it 6b? So these 3b bids 3.5b bids they ain’t going to except! Maybe 5b they’d consider or it’s not worth while them selling!

They want 6bn so they get 2in each

Does anybody know the asking price, reports of £7 billion for the whole club, or the Glazer's shares at around 69% £4,5 billion, It sounds Daft and we know the club Debts are closer to £7 million plus OT needs revamping or new ground,

As a business, it does not make sense right now to buy united, because of the 3 major things needed before the team gets any investment, you are looking at close to another £2 billion needed to bring it up to date,

At least £500m (plus any penalties for early repayment) will be going straight to Citadel, OZCM and Perry Capital, since they won't have the club to leverage that debt against anymore.

Keeps them in the news during international break which is really what this is all about.

Like a selfish lover the Glazers will nut just before their fans reach their vinegar stroke.

He’s not Scandinavian; he’s Finnish.

He’s not Finnish - he’s only 29

Come in number 5 your time is up.

Will anything really change if they get Qatari owners? They been spending more than everyone already, just wasting it on dross.

They need to buy Brighton's analysis team.

Exactly what I thought. It could become even more of a circus.
