nirav 1,143 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Lot of noise regarding the present parasites willing to sell the club. News on Michael knighton consortium, NY PE fund and now Elon Musk tweeting about united. Considering Fan protests, failure on pitch and other teams picking up united is no longer a cash generating machine for glazers. Club will need to spend to stay relevant and glazers do not have the deep pockets for that. Created this as I could not find a thread on ownership John Locke, Pap1918 and Fordie 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay007 3,379 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Jim Ratcliffe's would be the best of a bad bunch if someone was to buy the Glazers out. As long as the clown Knighton is kept well away, but I'm sure his claims to be involved is all about him trying to boost his ego and PR.

TheManc 4,052 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 We're in talks with Appollo apparently, who are an American investment group andwould also take out dividends if they got in. Owner has ties with Eipstein as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will cost over £4.5 billion to buy the club and then how much more to plough into the club for players, stadium upgrades and training facility upgrades. It's a big ask.

John Locke 1,162 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 The glazers must realise they cannot take the club forward. They have milked it dry and will increasingly feel the wrath of the fanbase. Surely a sale is imminent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Quixall 3,807 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 2 hours ago, Gary said: Purely and simply, no Agreed. Apparently, there's some Epstein-connected hedge fund in NY that is interested in investing. The Glazers aren't going to sell outright, not when there's a good chance that the super league will get established. My guess - and that's all it is - is that the Glazers need more cash to invigorate the club and get the team back into the top 4. If we're consistently out of the CL places, will be be invited to sup at the table of the super league moguls? Gary 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Quixall 3,807 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Wille Morgan, our skipper in 1974, has weighed in. He doesn't think much of Ten Hag stating: " “And then they make matters worse by hiring someone who seems more like a below-average school teacher than a football manager. He’s hasn’t got that air of a manager in no way whatsoever. He hasn’t got a clue. He’s got no authority. That’s surprised me because when he came in and told them he didn’t want Rangnick around I thought it showed he meant business." I though that was quite funny.

Deez Nutz 340 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 The Glazer's probably paid Ratcliffe to pretend he's interested as it would surely raise the share price! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
