Quarterly Quarrel - The Financial Discussion Part 5

Knighton could have bought United with financing through the Bank of Scotland. Most of what was written about him then came through the tabloids.

Knighton is just a fan trying to get the Glazers to sell United. He's not trying to become the owner himself. The point of his hostile bid gambit is to get the ball rolling, to put the idea out there, that they need to sell. You guys really want to blame a guy for trying? Would it be better if no one did anything?

 

Apparently the Glazers are trying to sell a portion of our TV rights to find a stadium renovation.

This shit needs to be stopped at all cost. They would not only be screwing us now, but screwing us well after they leave. This is the type of shit that’s going to ruin Barca. Hopefully the FA has the balls to stop this.

 

F the FA. They let this shit happen in the first place. And those horse racing muthas too.

 

They had no intention of backing ten Hag initially. It's all because of our protests.

The second part is really scary. Where is the money coming from?#GlazersOut pic.twitter.com/i0MBNmID8b

Even after they leave, we'll be paying the consequences of their ownership for years to come.

 

🚨 Lewis Hamilton asked about Sir Jim Ratcliffe: “I haven’t had a call from him asking if I want to be involved in that (United bid) just yet. But I do want to get more and more involved in teams because I really do believe in black ownership, there is a lack of it in sports.” ✅

Welcome to Manchester United, a certified mess where people have no intention of learning from their mistakes even after a decade of repeated failures#GlazersOut pic.twitter.com/xA9lCIBVEa

Who are these recommended peeps? I thought ETH brought his guys and had insisted on control over signings.

 

Antony, Lisandro, Malacia... Def ETH signings. Arguably Eriksen too. Case was signed b/c of ETH req to get De Jong. We didn't sign Case b/c board thought Scott needed replacing.

 

Manchester United interest cost £62.2m for 2021/22, mainly due to weakness of £. Takes total interest cost for the club under the Glazers to £886m. Gross borrowings £636 million. Despite the losses the club paid record dividends of £33.6 million in the year #MUFC #Glazernomics pic.twitter.com/FdDI510pBX

Disgusting but unsurprising...

 

Manchester United have borrowed $650,000,000 from US banks. When United published their accounts on Friday this was shown using the 30 June exchange rate at £530 million. Using the exchange rate this morning it is now £612 million, an increase of £82 million #Glazernomics #mufc pic.twitter.com/4m0hjTEgvQ

I hate this thread.

 

^ I'm fine with Ratcliffe, although the grass isn't necessarily all that greener. Others, no.

 

From Mark Kleinman Sky News City (Finance) Editor. Claims bankers being instructed to determine options …

🚨 According to Sky News, the Glazer family are exploring the possibility of selling Manchester United after their 17-year reign as owners 🔴pic.twitter.com/6Rpo54kQOp

EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, are to explore a sale of the club as part of a review of options that could also include selling a minority interest. An outright sale would bring an end to 17 years of controversial ownership. https://t.co/ZJurxzvUxK

Looks to be legit - says on club website looking at options.

It's here. It's real. The official statement from Man United: https://t.co/EoBWU618ro pic.twitter.com/LPZjuRi9WU

We are top 2 news stories on the beeb and Ronaldo story 2nd with Glazers considering selling the club top story lol

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news

 

These sons of bitches better not get my hopes up and this end up being a sale of non-voting shares. If this is the real thing, an end to our misery under the Glazers might finally be here. Ratcliffe is hopefully on notice.

 

Whitwell says it’s a sale they want. Have officially hired a banking company to oversee the sale.

Holy shit.

Edit: the Sky reporter who originally broke the story says a minority sale is a possibility but that a full on sale is also on the table. Sounds like if a big enough offer comes in they’ll sell. And you’ll have to think some big offers will come in. A club of our size hasn’t been for sale…really ever.

 

This day gets better and better,

 

Let’s see if the guy Radcliffe is worthy of the pedestal everyone put him on.

 

It's going to take an offer of around 9 billion dollars for a complete sale IMO.

Liverpool being available might be a tremendously complicating factor too.
