Evening Ed, are the owners going to reverse their decision to put the club up for sale?

{Ed002's Note - I don't think it will be off the market but they have not found a buyer to match the asking price.}

If they don't sell now, there's nobody coming back in with an increased offer surely. Protests aren't working i guess.

To anyone who wants a decent return on their money the club is not worth £6bn let alone the "imminent" £7.5bn or £10bn offers, as some reports have suggested.

They better hope Ten Hag is successful, indeed that he even stays because I'm sure he feels let down too. The Glazers, or at least their managers, have run the club into the ground: the facilities, the scouting/ recruitment network, and the squad etc are falling behind those of our leading competitors. Can they even get us out of the FFP conundrum, particularly if we fail to become a regular participant in in the Champions League?

The Glazers' valuation has to be based on a permanent seat at the top table, and that can only be achieved through something like an ESL. US franchise owners enjoy closed shop monopolies. They can even move clubs around to take advantage of local tax benefits. That underpins recent selling prices across the pond. Maybe the EPL club owners believe they can ultimately force this change. Until then I think the Glazers are taking a big gamble. For all we know both United and the EPL may be at the top of there value right now. They may have overplayed their hand. No one seems to be biting.

I'm trying to refrain from a Pythonesque list of insults to describe what I think of them for what they have done to MUFC and it reputation. Suffice it to say that some sort of financial meltdown as result of failure on the field may be the only way to get rid of them.

When the protests got the Liverpool game postponed I was a little annoyed, but at this point, the Glazers deserve everything they get. Part of me would love to see the fans get every home game called off until the leeches sell up, even if that means us forfeiting those matches and finishing in the bottom half of the table.

I’d much rather one season without European football than one more with the Glazers at the helm. Heck, I’d take relegation and a season in the Championship if that’s what it takes. And hey, if our fans’ actions force the FA to revisit the issue of leveraged buyouts of football clubs then all the better. People like the Glazers have no place owning football clubs.

The leveraged buyout has been a curse, and not just for Man Utd. Millions of people saw their jobs disappear, often overseas, so that financiers could arbitrage differences in labor costs from nation to nation. It's affected the whole of the Western world. Any system that dismisses the interests of people generally in favour of corporate profit, which is the basis of American monopoly capitalism, is bound ultimately to lead to the death of democracy and social welfare by concentrating wealth in fewer and fewer hands.

I have to say it seems like they have unreasonable expectations, although the Qatar bid seems a little silly as they keep telling the glazers, who we all know are money hungry leeches, "here's X billion for the club, but we've got another 1 billion you can't have"

Transfer of the club is taking the same path as everyone of our transfers over the last few years.

The daily fail don't have a source cause to the glazers as no one is close to them. This story came from their imagination because like the fa premier league var etc the really hate utd and want to slate a club that's already on its knees.

I’d imagine our near half a billion £s worth of dross that has nearly zero value will be a sticking point on anything the club wants to do.
