The important thing here is what “people are talking about”

Hope the Glazers are keeping track

Just take the money and £#%&! off. You greedy shitheads
Like there's a lot of folks out there with £6bn to spend on a sports club

The whole "most expensive ever" thing should be a good indicator that you're in niche territory, and the cheeky @#%&!s are getting ~10x on their investment as well as all of the dividends they've taken over the years.

Just £#%&! off you utter parasites.

What £#%&!ing investment? Didn't put any of their own cash in did they? And if they did they'll have had 10 x that back already in payments for "management services" and dividends. @#%&!s

Big Jim with a beautiful pump fake. You can tell he used to ball.

STILL no official Qatari bid?! He’s made them look like amateurs.

It’s textbook stuff from Jim. Beautiful sleight of hand with a large dose of poker face to boot. Jim’s playing them all - The Pied Piper of Failsworth.

The guys built himself out of nothing ffs - not just inherited land that they found oil under. It’s a different ball game entirely. Men v boys.

These Qatari lads don’t understand brinksmanship. Turning up in gold plated rolls Royce’s desperate to be accepted, perhaps even just to be noticed let alone admired - whilst understated Jim just quietly goes about his business.

Jim’s fought tooth and nail to get where he is today. Even the Qataris can’t buy that kind of characteristic.

So Jimbo has asked for more time to scrape up the readies whilst the Sheik waits for him to offer another ten bob, then slaps down another 500m and a set of steak knives for the Glazers to squabble over.

Pretty much. suggests they might have an inside man as well, so they will know what his bid is and just trump it.

If the Glazers were properly on it, they’d be cutting big Jim in on the deal.

Heard big Jim impressed a lot more on his visit, already had a good understanding of the club and its surroundings, some reports Shaza and his boys were gawping at things with a level of disgust ...

Interesting times....

Sure the Glazers value that way more than half a billion.

You'd be surprised, in business a personal touch goes a long way, the Qataris were apparently very obtuse....
