Manchester United partial sale completed: Jim Ratcliffe acquires 27.7% share, 100% control of sporting side)

Is it twice as much? Raine valued United at what? 5.5/6? And Forbes has Liverpool at 4.5.

The article you posted has the difference between Liverpool and United at .11bil not twice the value.

Who is posting 10.6

I mean I don't think anyone is taking that number seriously.

I'd much rather have Dubai than either of Bezos or Zuckerberg. Or he-whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned...

Bro, Vinny Mac don’t have that sort of money. In all seriousness though, would be hilarious watching Musk go to town on United. He’d make Chelsea’s new owner look like the folks who run City.

It's supposedly a very legit business publication.

Liked just so I could unlike.

the problem with United is twofold. They have much better name recognition worldwide than Liverpool, so the Glazers will likely want more money in a potential sale. For any of the buying parties, they will have to heavily invest in the facilities that have gone with little to no investment for how long? I was at Old Trafford in 2016 & it was not in a good condition, so I'd imagine it is much worse shape now.

Yeah Old Trafford will need to be rebuilt or completely renovated. So anyone buying it will probably have add what 700+mill minimum to whatever they're paying already.

That’s why when my parents with PowerBall I’m just going to buy a small club in Spain.

Yea, either a new stadium or basically a full rebuild from the guts out. Plus the half billion in loans the company has

I think one of the stands, the main one(?), is yet to be renovated and IIRC, has the chance to increase attendance after renovation/extension.

Saudi government would back private bids for Manchester United or Liverpool

The country’s sports minister talked of the strong interest in English clubs while Saudi Arabia may also place a bid to host the World Cup

No, just no. To buying Man U and hosting a WC. But who knows with Infante. He needs to be removed asap.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Real Madrid?

Nah, @les Habs is actually the 225th lever.

Infantino. But yes, he should be out. Unfortunately, he's safe, since no one even challenged him when he was re-elected.

 

[hatterson]

Also he’s far from the singular issue with FIFA. You don’t get corrupt stuff like this because of one crooked guy.

It takes an entire organization of corruption to get these type of results.

Don’t get me wrong, he should absolutely go, and a strong leader could help change the culture, but somehow firing him isn’t remotely going to fix all the issues.

Better real levers than cooking books.

Hey, Flo is totally legit, I swear...

How they managed to successfully OMIT the Bernabeu renovation debt from the books, dunno

Dude, we're at #224 now. And if I was lever we'd have a better squad.

When they pull your lever, you can make the squad better.

Not my fault everyone wants to pull my lever.
