Mark Goldbridge, who obviously can be a bit of a clown at times but 100% has strong Man Utd contacts, randomly released this video yesterday aswell which seems like very interesting timing
That was in reference to earlier proposals I believe when it all surfaced with Najafi/QSI.I think Simon Jordan said something along the lines of £3.5bn wouldn't even be entertained, not sure where that figure came from.
Well, it was deleted for a reason - it was intended for a back-room thread where they can discuss things that are not ready for public consumption.What post???
Fyp.We are the most obvious team in the league to buy or invest in, if you ask me. The only thing that has prevented it from happening isthe priceLevy
I think a few will be thinking the same, now everyone appears to be on the same page at the club we get this which, if true, could be very unsettling whichever way it goes.I was just thinking the same. We finally look to be trying to get some type of calm and normality so why wouldn’t this happen and throw all that up in the air! Would be so us.
Fyp.

They haven't met the negotiation behaviour of Levy thenI do wonder if some of the bidders for United have got frustrated at the behaviour of the Glazers and have decided to look at us instead.
Always found it strange that the price is even an issue in terms of ME investment, as they have the money on hand anyway and all of the pieces are already here. The work is done. Whoever owns Chelsea are going to need to spend 10 years trying to build a stadium that we've already built. The Saudi's are going to need to grow Newcastle's fanbase and turnover to a level where...we're already at. Man Utd too needs hundreds of millions spending on the stadium and Carrington, which is years of work.We are the most obvious team in the league to buy or invest in, if you ask me.

Just opinion mate but the timing doesn’t seem right, we shall see.What makes you say that. presumably if there are murmurings then things have already been disucssed ?
As mentioned on the other page, there is has been quite a few rumours that Qatar a thinking of backing out. How much truth there is in it and if its just a move to put pressure on the Glazers or if they really have had enough is anyones guess. But there would be some logic to them swinging their interest back in this direction if they have stepped out fo the race for Utd. It did seem like all the talk of QSI's interest in us stopped when Qatar got involved with Utd.I do wonder if some of the bidders for United have got frustrated at the behaviour of the Glazers and have decided to look at us instead.
I think Sam matterface also said he’s heard there could be someone new running the club soon or something along them lines, not sure if that meant someone replacing levy or new owners completely.I think Simon Jordan said something along the lines of £3.5bn wouldn't even be entertained, not sure where that figure came from.

The work is already done here, you're just spending the money on the front end rather than over years, and the trade off is that it's immediate. If you wanted to "do a City" to Tottenham and just buy the 8-9 world leading players we'd need to fill out a squad, we could win the league in two years if you wanted to do it, because we can already sink £500m and stay free from FFP issues.
I don't even want some shady investment that I'll have to try to support the club in spite of, but it's just never made sense why we haven't been targeted above other clubs.
