Looks like they were never interested in selling after all. Rags got their hopes up only to have to bring out the Norwich scarves again

if the 25 percent stake purchase costing Radcliffe 1 billion takes place and the Rags use it to remove their mountain of debt of 960 million. Then i would expect their share price to rise. If the Glazers take the money out , i would expect the reverse and a share price nosedive. Although the latter is somewhat tacky and tasteless, i fully expect the Glazers to fill their bank accounts.

What would Radcliffe get out of putting a billion quid into united for a 25% stake?

A foot in the door?

And as this values the rags at £4B, if they were to be sold to someone else in a couple of years for the £6B that was mooted this time, then it generates a healthy profit for him.

Luckily this won't really benefit the rags. The Glazers are still there and there is now another nose in the trough. Plenty to go round I'm sure

He’s 70. He’ll be dead or as senile as Joe Biden before the Glazers sell up.

That is assuming the value goes up, mate. When the people running that club are this incompetent (snigger), I feel it is quite a big assumption.

If I were him putting that kind of cash in, I'd want a say. I can't see him not, to be honest.

The confusion around them is fantastic. Their left hand doesn't even know what the left hand is doing, never mind the right.

Win win for us. Regardless of the actual value of the rags, the Glazers turned down £5B this year so aren’t going to accept less than this in the future. And if that means they stay longer then brilliant

So my brother said a few words about his 18 yr old daughter at family meal before the weekends carnage… he spoke well tbf and she’s lovely. He has a bit of a cold and coughed. His Mrs passed him his drink. He cleared his throat and because he coughed his eyes were glazed. Quick as a flash someone said you ok as he composed himself. I added I know Natalie was 8 when you last won the league, brings a tear to your eyes. Well he nearly chocked. Tbf he laughed after the paramedics left and Nats BF is a blue so all good.

The interesting thing there, is that if this money is used for infrastructure and debt repayment, the club was actually only valued at 3bn pre-money, as 1bn for 25% in this scenario would be the post-money carve up.

Thats a big hit on what they were allegedly trying to rinse Qatar for......no wonder he walked away

Ten Bob's getting all the blame again.
Poor deluded souls think changing manager again will make it all better.
Apparently Jim and his 25% is going to turn it all around.

The comedy continues apace.

They can get all the managers they like. It will make no difference. The Glazers don't care about football. Jim will be 80 plus by the time it's sorted and in the meantime they will suck the life out of him.
It's a basket case.

2016 - Since Pep Guardiola joined Manchester City in 2016, they have earned 145 more points than Manchester United (649 to 504), winning 60 more games in the Premier League (205 to 145) while scoring 229 more goals (681 to 452). Territorial.

From rag cafe

It's just the same story isn't it.

It's like we're trapped in one of those horror movies set in an old mansion where the doomed guests keep ending up in the same room whichever direction they go. Just when you think you've escaped the ghosts of MacGuire and Lindeloff they're somehow right in front of you again, clinking their chains and lumbering slowly forwards.

Ten Hag has gone the way of all his predecessors, rambling like a madman and dancing about under the shadow of a swinging axe. Bashing at the door of the crypt is the walking corpse of Johnny Evans, freshly risen and snarling in defiance. Above the mantelpiece a huge portrait of Alex Ferguson seems to be weeping blood.


Made me chuckle
