United Thread - 2022/23

[yeah whatever !!]

Just said on SSN that the minimal stake that uncle Malc wants to sell is the roof at Old Trafford. ;)

What a cracking read that Giovanni article is.

Absolutely. Really moving.

 

[Maly]

These assets, with the obvious exception of the wasteland on which it's built, what would they be?

Well they have about £24.75 worth of player assets

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Why anybody would pay £5billion for them, knowing the amount of money they will need ? It's not a pot noddle and going to be an instant success, 10 years is needed, then Manchester city would still be improving each year, also Liverpool Chelsea, even Newcastle, that's without taking into account arsenal and spurs,

you need to be a very good club with a foundation built around the future and not the pasted

Or the pasty for that matter, as both Luke Shaw and Mourinho can testify to.

I'd sign him on the back of that alone.

Which again, lands the question, if the 2 billion speculated they took out as loan re-payments, were not enough, then how much is that club in debt by?

Again the other fishy aspect was the fact that they were looking for capital injection. Capital injection in a club that size is a fucking huge red-flag.

Couple that with their CEO stating " Next Summer will be much worse".

There's some horrid shit going on there. My only thought is that they are effectively using the club as a front for some very dark, shady unstable business practice.

And? It all sounds *ucking marvellous to me!

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Nope - but it's not enough for me... I genuinely want to see them go the way of Bury

Is that the same Bury that was a small thriving sea port on Atlantis ?

If that last paragraph is true (everything crossed) then there's no way the Glazers will want anybody looking at their books.

Have you thought this through?

;-)

My mistake,really meant Community Service,:-)

Scrap is still quite high, plenty of scaffold steel there.
Get £100m for the playing squad.
Take a seasons TV money & commercial revenue.

Might only cost me £5bn to close them dow.
Save £5bn for even Sheikh Mansour gets bored.

Leaving me with £10bn, no United and owning City.
Just need the £20bn now..

 

[chesterbells]

It does look like the cowards are aiming to get this game abandoned rather than get given the 4 or 5-0 spanking they will get otherwise. A couple of games in an empty stadium will probably even do the players good. Here's hoping there is a points deduction as well.

I’ve always suspected that will he the most likely outcome, esp after what we saw last time. (As if doing that is going to “make it all go away”).
Blues hoping for a night in front of the telly, with popcorn at hand, may be disappointed and end up with Neville, Carragher etc talking for 2 hours instead.

 

[waspish]

MUST Quote "Any prospective new owner or investor has to be committed to the culture, ethos and best traditions of the club."

They are so far up their own arse it is embarrassing. What the fuck is all this culture, ethos shit they're pedalling now? It's up there with the "United way".

Because they believe they are superior to all the rest and years of the media saying “This is Manchester United” “The Biggest club in the world” over the last 30 years has set that narrative in those entitled glory hunters!

A tad optimistic me thinks!

You mean you want them to get Buried?……









I’ll get my coat. Matron, Matron, tablets please. ;-)

 

[Protein Junkie]

Is Bryan Riggs about to be awarded with yet another soft Penalty ?

 

[dhruvblue]

Casemeiro for €70/75m then. Decent singing but he will be finished by the time Rahs challenge for anything

 

[waspish]

And why they only looking into someone putting in some money for a stake in them..

Like I said, if you're generating hundreds of millions in capital year-round, why would you need a partial buy-out / capital injection. Those yanks are some dodgy fuckers. And to think the holier than thou' bacon face facilitated the whole shit, and is still slowly maturing in the board room like a ripe parmegianno.

I have it on good authority from 2 sources that Ineos are not that great to deal with. Ratcliffe is a hard-nosed businessman. Why would he throw away his hard earned net worth on that basket case?

He certainly is, Ratcliffe lives in Monaco

Ineos Automotive, owned by billionaire Brexit backer Jim Ratcliffe, announced it will build its first 4x4 vehicle in France, which confirms that its plans to build a car manufacturing factory in Wales have officially been abandoned.
Back in September 2019, Ineos had confirmed that the Grenadier will be built in a bespoke new manufacturing facility on a greenfield site in Bridgend, South Wales.

It said this would create 200 jobs initially, and up to 500 in the long term. It announced site development was now under way to support planned start of production in 2021.

This is sure to come as a blow to Wales. According to some reports, the Welsh government has spent around £5m ($6.7m) supporting the project.
