Except that's not a realistic price (an actual realised sale like Chelsea at £2.7b remains the benchmark). It's just the latest figure to try and inflate the market. They simply kept upping the 'asking price' just to see how far desperate potential buyers would go. All it demonstrates is the lack of willingness to actually sell. I'm surprised Qatar played along this far, when it was obvious what the gameplan was. But they must now realise the Glazers are time-wasters, so will look elsewhere. Hopefully not down the M62.

Why sell, when the value of the asset keeps rising?

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Why sell, when the value of the asset keeps rising?

Yeah the same way that Trumps buildings used to rise in value.

[PeterTheRed ...]

Yeah the same way that Trumps buildings used to rise in value.

The difference being, the value of the Premier League clubs will keep rising, as long as the value of the TV deal is rising too. One day, the bubble will burst, but today is not that day ...

These c*nts are never going to be Glazer free and long may that last.

Fernandes has been a success for them, loathsome though he is.

He has made an impact of sorts, but he is actually one of the main reasons they struggle every time they play a good team. Lacks too many midfield basics, loses the ball constantly and then just cries and gives up when the going gets tough.

Not including him as a success given the price tag.

[4pool]

From the article link above

The Glazers hope for a higher price thanks to an uplift in TV rights revenues, the expansion of FIFA’s Club World Cup to 32 teams from 2025, which could be very lucrative, and the forthcoming 2026 World Cup. That event, to be hosted in the USA, will heighten the interest of American billionaires in football investments. The Glazers think this may help them sell United for between £7billion and £10bn.

A sit-in protest by United fans was held at Old Trafford last week and urged the family to sell up, yet again, but the Glazers have long ignored supporters.

The owners have backed manager Erik ten Hag and hope he can deliver major silverware to the club over the next two seasons, which would help boost the sale price.

Chelsea went for about £2.5bn….

No … yes ?

It's not so much on the pitch, United spend hundreds of millions in every summer transfer window due to the money they generate anyway [& they're still awful after all that money they've spent , plus they get lucky because the refs/var gift them 15 extra points a season], it's more off the pitch stuff, i believe our owners have a good relationship with the Glazers, so one less ally to take on the sportswashers.

[ScouserAtHeart]

They've leaked this at the perfect time too. Away game today and then 2 weeks of international breaj

[rob1966]

The c*nts would be crying after a couple of season of Qatari ownership when they realised they were still fucking shite. They've well outspent us and have fuck all to show for it. 7hag has a larger net spend than Klopp. If only they didn't have such corrupt neighbours, who they happily cheered on, they likely would have got Ped

They've changed their tone now. Before it was all "Glazers don't spend money" and they saw other fans mocking them for it, so now it's "Glazers are incompetent and they don't hire the right people"

Start a rumour it's why Saudi are desperate to land Mo. They know they've no chance of getting him from a Qatari owned Liverpool. Yernited will go into meltdown.

They were creaming their kecks when they signed 7 hag,  pissed off now that he's just Ole mk2?

He has the look of a chancer that has found himself in a job way bigger than he was ready for. United's Rodgers, talented, but just not ready for the massive step up of managing one of the worlds biggest clubs.

He is the same, but without the wonderful football we were treated to in 13/14.

They'd have been better sticking with ole until a better manager was available, although not sure who that would be.

That's part of their MO isn't it?  All flavour of the month signings or appointments for players, Managers and now their DoF and Technical Director.

I know the latter two were already at the club but they've been given fancy new titles cos all the other clubs have those people so they have to have them too.  The fact they're fucking shit doesn't matter, at least they're "modernising" 😂

It's deffo the Utd I grew up with, Billy Big bollocks, horrible fans, winning the odd cup and LFC being their cup final.

Pretty much the same Rob.

[Crosby Nick]

Except they didn’t lose many cup finals 7-0 back then. Or 5-0. Or 4-0.

Has the Caf worked out 7Hag is a fake yet?

Apart from the Ferguson era anomaly, that's the only United I've ever known.

Yeah the younger generation only know the dominance and thats why they panic, we know the fergie years were an anomaly. I remember a poster on On The Kop saying Utd were finished and would never be a power again, 10 years later he's been proved correct. They made all the same mistakes we made in the late 80s/90s but we learned and still did well in that 30 years, these just repeat the mistakes of the 70s

They were bastards at beating us back then

That's very harsh on Rodgers. Ten Hag will never get Utd as close to a title as Rodgers did with us. And we know City cheated their way to everything they won in the last 15 years, Rodgers's Liverpool would have won that title comfortably otherwise.

There's something in their psyche that's deeply flawed. Maybe it's their overblown arrogance and sense of self importance. They basically believe they are too big to fail. Too big to get it wrong, and I think this leads to complacency.

They were European champions in '68 but relegated in '74. Now that's some epic collapse. Did they learn anything from that? They saw us dominate for two decades before going into decline in the early '90s. They laughed at our fall from grace, but did they learn anything from it?

Did they learn anything from being an overblown, pompous, self-aggrandising joke in the 70s and 80s? Well, no. They've fallen into the same vanity trap they always fall into. The learn nothing from their own history or the history of the rivals they so avidly watch.

Their Achilles heel will always be their cocksure arrogance and the belief in their own ridiculous hype and bluster.

[RyanBabel19]

Can someone explain exactly what 7 hags actual gameplan is?

Just looks like a free for all every time I see them play

[TomDcs]

Great news about their owners not selling, not much will change until they do. Their squad still looks crap, their manager is bang average, and their fans are mental. As you were.

[MonsLibpool]

The Glazers want a slice of the TV streaming and/or Super League pie.

[Tokyoite]

It's hilarious to me their fans think they are the biggest team in the world and players would love to play for them if they had decent management and tried to sign them. Delusion at its finest.

[Skeeve]

Great. Now I hope they get beaten by Arsenal tomorrow. It will further improve the atmosphere at their club, before the international break ...

Nah, this early in the season you still want a draw out of it so both teams lose points.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

How many bent decisions will they get today?

There already must be 2-3 match-changing decisions that were a fucking joke which went their way.

But don't fucking worry. It'll 'even itself out by the end of the season'

Football. What a fucking joke. How we can't get rid of this PGMOL shite is beyond belief. A world reknowned league getting fucked over by a bunch of fat, thick, inbred fucking wankers.

It beggars belief.

[rob1966]

SNIP

Short answer is no.

Their arrogance is what costs them and prices like Neville stoke the fires, little fucking gobshite.

MOTM today for them will be Anthony Taylor

Until the clubs come together to get them gone it'll never change. We can, as a club, cry all we want but we may as well go shout at clouds if we're the only ones doing it

Just another baffling thing that the PL allows to harm their asset, much like them continuing to allow cheats to dominate their league, allowing a ref organisation to invent results just makes the league more of a joke.

[RedSince86]

Real Madrid must chuckle everytime Varane gets injured, they rinsed them £70 million after starting for them since he was 19 and sell him to these patsies just as his injury problems start, the wear and tear on him being a starter for Real and France at 19 was reckless recruitment, he's 30 going on 40 now, he's probably missed around 60% of games there since he signed.

Casemiro, enough has been said about him on here, that's going to be an albatross of a contract until he's 35.


That almost £130 million on 2 Real castoffs with loads of mileage on massive wages, we built our entire midfield for £10 million more on 4 players.

They should be hoping Saudi take these terrible contracts off them, the will probably give them away for free in desperation.
