General Football Nonsense

SM001

bosstrabs Less weird than Irish people supporting English towns/cities football teams at their most popular sport.

bosstrabs

SM001 To be fair, I get why you would support United, Liverpool, Everton, Leeds or Villa.

Even City, which have also always had a significant Irish emigre following, given how many there are in Manchester.

It’s the Irish Chelsea supporters I absolutely can’t fathom.

The NF club with longstanding supporter ties to Rangers.

Starting to look like they never had any intention of selling. Just an exercise to put value on the company.

Cankles-McJeggings if they don’t sell, the value will collapse so I don’t buy that at all. Neither do I buy the idea that they’ll hold on - just a tactic to boost the sale price imo… reason being that they can put the sales proceeds into US government bonds and get a much higher return than they do from Man Utd….

Wally

Jules72 They could short the stock expecting it to go down and make a killing.

Jules72

Wally think it’s a very small market - don’t think they could do that even if they wanted to.. anyway might be illegal given they’d be trading on inside information

Cankles-McJeggings

Jules still clearly sold on illusion. Like the fuckers give a shite about anything but money.

vinnyt77

Cankles-McJeggings Isn’t Jules saying exactly that? That they care fuck all except about the money?

Jules72

vinnyt77 exactly… selling will maximise their $ imo…

Wally

Jules72 Sure, if they bought in before the announcement - but it’s now been announced. They can buy in freely now and just wait.

Jules72

Wally again… a tiny market - I don’t think they’d be able to make much that way

Wally

Jules72 What do you mean? Man U have a market cap of 4.3 billion at the moment.

Wally yet they won’t even upgrade their 90’s pool

Jules72

Wally the shares the glazers own (think they’re 67%) will never be quoted (on exchange) because they have voting rights… the remainder can be traded, but I’m merely telling you that those shares are illiquid and can be easily moved.. if they wanted to accumulate a long and large position (in non voting, quoted shares), it would likely move the price a lot…. Just telling you after working on the business for 25 years the practicalities and small profit involved (from the Glazers standpoint) doesn’t make manipulating and trading the quoted market very likely…and that’s without even considering the legalities

Amps

It’s a clash of European royalty tonight gents… and I’d be amazed if we get anything but a hard, dry tonking. I’m sure we’ll raise our game a bit, but we’ve been so far off it, I can’t see anything but an embarrassment for us.

Amps don’t be surprised if we pull something out of the bag. Real are not having a great league season tbh. I do however think we’ll lose out over 2 legs

Fuck that Jules. Wal knows Crypto, he doesn’t need no playbook.

Wally

Mad_Cyril My Mrs and the kids savings accounts were in crypto and were cashed out at the very peak so they did nicely out of me getting them into it.

I staked mine so it’s stuck in coinbase and it most definitely not at the peak.

Down about 6 grand. But I made 250 quid from staking so not all bad lol.

Mad_Cyril

On an entirely separate note, so NOT a dig at anyone on here, has been funny watching internet berks making shit up about the whole process over the last few days.

A proper whopper magnet!

Current fave is all the Utd fans doing mental gymnastics re: state ownership since a Qatari bid was announced.

Heno

Mad_Cyril was at my sons football training the other night with the other parents good few united fans who now think that it would be great for them to be state owned! Last week they were giving out about City etc

Lol, love it!

To be fair, citeh cheating and being a state / oil club aren’t the same thing. The bar codes aren’t cheating so far as I know. And Utd generate enough income that they shouldn’t need to artificially inflate it.

But… the ones convincing themselves that this bloke has nothing to do with the Qatari state are something else. Just an average Joe with a few billion living in a liberal utopia that doesn’t interfere with how it’s citizens send go about things.
