United Thread - 2023/24

To those business savy blues out there - hopefully you can clear something up for me.
I keep hearing Scruffy Jim's dealings at them as "a minority takeover" - does such a thing exist??

It's like other rag phenomena, 659m fans, half a million at a game in balmy Barcelona, a youth player in every starting lineup since the second world war.... you get the picture.

Wait until the 'takeover' is actually fully verified in Friday, wall to wall raggy wankathon in the press.

Just a pile of bollocks.

All this optimism at the Rags , then Luton stuff them on Sunday and its back to crisis talks and Ten Bob Out , they are a joke of a football club and have been for a decade , agents must rub their hands when they come calling. If there was a transfer mug league they would be top every season.

You can sum up the rags' transfer policy in three words: Johnny 'Fucking' Evans.

They have a massive pile of porn in the board room. Mainly to soak up the drips from the leaking roof. Ex Giggs and Granny.

No such thing he’s getting 25% of the business,
17% of the Bshares ) the ones that count) the rest are Ashares worth 1/10 in voting power of the Bshares. He is paying £1.28B for the privilege Effectively he’s paid £1.28b for a 25% share of >£1B of debt He’s also doing it with out any real rivals the Qatar Sheikh was never ever able to show proof of funds Glaziers must be laughing even louder that ever on the way to the bank

But presumably if they use that 1B to pay off the debt, then they save shed loads in repayments every year and it’s all gravy from hereon in?
