Manchester United: Where to next?

[Bojan KantKick]

You would hope he did that a month or two ago.

That's not how it works. You appoint after the beauty parade, not before it.

If you're appointing someone to advise you on how to win a beauty parade I would have thought after is a bit pointless.

Probably. The beauty parade is the advisory firms and banks pitching to the client for the lead advisory role on a deal.

Any chance of you getting any mail on this after the transaction completes from old Goldman connections glenferry23 ?

Would Big Jim have to sell Nice if the buys United?

Only if they are both in the same UEFA competition which seems unlikely.


If they are he would have to dispose of his majority in Nice to comply.

I mean it’s not that unlikely to happen in the coming seasons. Nice were literally goal difference from being in the same UEFA Compeition as Manchester United this season.

Nice

Or. Niece.

5+ bidders around or over the 5 billion mark. Unsure if this is pounds or dollars. if it is dollars then it is under the market cap which would be a surprise. 2 x sport washing countries, SJR, at least two American funds. Pretty sure that bids are due in by COB New York time today.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Qatar bid £4.5m plus the debt. Hopefully not enough

Feels inevitable United are about to become the next sportswashing club.

He hasn't got the money himself to buy United so it is defo sportswashing money.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

‘Nine two’ foundation (apparently named after the class of 92), and ‘lifelong United fan’.

I mean are we meant to really believe that?

PR Bullshit

Yep. When not even the prospect of being debt free can prevent a bid from dividing the fan base, you know it’s shitty.

Today I feel Qatari.

 

[RPCB]

The deadline has passed and all we have heard about is the Qatari bid. No one else has placed a bid?
