More updates today here from the Saudis if any one is interested https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-united-takeover-saudi-arabia-25602677

Yeah- and knowing the Saudis, I wouldn’t put it past them to squeeze a quid pro quo in there somewhere along the way that would improve their chances of hosting 2030 🙄 (Like agreeing to lift the BeIN broadcasting ban to clear the road for PIF to buy Newcastle ) and clear any PL obstacles for...

Does anyone think that any of the declared interested parties could outbid the Saudis ? Given the financial pot of PIF and the Saudi government’s eagerness to back another consortium of businessmen, the long term Saudi takeover of our top clubs could be well on the way - (and World Cup...

Despite the tone of your post - Small pittance compared to the investment needed to today - Man U takeover was £750m - However, the asset stripping Glazers paid £270m and raised purchase loans against the assets of the club which still haven't been paid off (debts amounting to £500m) which is...

Depends how much of that is tied up in existing assets? Net worth includes all tangible assets (minus debts/responsibilities) so that £10.75bn doesn’t go as far as you might think! - if he did actually have the full £10.75bn as disposable income (which is very unlikely) or used his existing...

For themselves 😡

They can if they are private business interests (like the so called ’independence‘ of the PIF from the Saudi Govt.)

Apple joining the likes of Facebook and Amazon for expressing interests (but it’s the Daily Star so possibly bollox) https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/man-utd-apple-takeover-exclusive-28572111

https://news.sky.com/story/saudi-arabia-wants-its-investors-to-own-manchester-united-and-liverpool-12754745 In a post-fossil fuel world, this is just going to get worse imo as oil-producing States with investment bodies like PIF increasingly look to Global sports to prop up their governments...

At least Ratcliffe is a fan but it’s questionable he has the funds for the amount of capital investment the club is wanting, which makes Dubai based consortium a viable alternative. There maybe renewed interest from Jim O’Neill too (but Glazers again may hold out for more than he could afford)...

I know this wasn’t directed at me but I do remember standing at a bar at a gig, completely off my face, telling some bloke I played drums. He said you should come and have a jam, I was like, ‘yeah? Who do you play for then?’ He said ‘New Order’ - without a pause I said ‘another JD and Coke’ to...

That might have some merit if I had stopped supporting Brighton when I moved nearly 7 years ago and still manage to get to games with a 12 hour round trip journey. I support Brighton coz they are an amazing team - which is why I worked closely with Steve Bassam and others to get the Falmer...

Says the trolling Chelsea fan😂 At least I’m a stalwart Brighton fan and have been for over 40 years - and continued to be so even when living in Man - what’s your pedigree? The Glazers are a waste of space, however anyone frames it.

Look I get now that people on here hate Man U as a club but I don’t think I am ’wrong’ to want them to do better than they have been lately in terms of performance or have better owners because that’s just my personal opinion coming from the background I do of having a previous connection to...

That’s a ‘no’ for Man U then? 😁

Ok fair enough— I didn’t read the room - honestly didn’t realise the antipathy felt on NSC toward Man U!

Do you try hard to be a tosser or does it come naturally 😂 That’s the second of one of my threads in as many days that you have attempted to troll and railroad - I thought you were supposed to be disappearing for a few weeks 😎

Well that’s your opinion and you are entitled to it - thousands of Man U fans would disagree with you - I lived in Manchester (Hume) for several years and while I didn’t turn my back on the Albion as my ‘hometown’ club, I became quite a fan of Alex Ferguson‘s management of the club and enjoyed...

Have I missed something here? So many strange comments- do people actually think the Glazers are good owners and have been good for Man U? 😳 Ok - If you were referring to my typo above - now edited my earlier post, hope that’s clearer 🙂 (like you too 😂)
