Glazers talk to Jim Ratcliffe for Man United’s sale. The Glazers are reportedly ready to start the last round of negotiations with Sir Jim Ratcliffe on the sale of Manchester United, according to The Times. With his most recent offer, the British billionaire has surpassed Sheikh Jassim bin Al Thani’s Qatari delegation.
According to reports, the richest man in Britain has proposed a plan that would allow Avram and Joel Glazer to continue working for the team. The total cost of the transaction could reach £6 billion.
According to reports, the Qataris sought to acquire all of the Glazers’ holdings and made an offer that was less than £5 billion. Avram and Joel, two of the six Glazer siblings, apparently still want to be engaged.
Ratcliffe’s offer is therefore a better one for them, and they want to start the negotiations to complete the transaction. A last-ditch effort from Qataris, though, might yet be made and might potentially tip the scales. The petrochemical industry magnate now expects to close a deal.
Even if Ratcliffe’s INEOS group gains control of Manchester United, Avram, and Joel Glazer and their allies will continue to be in charge of the situation.
Reportedly, there have been several disputes about B-share sale transactions. The club’s voting privileges are represented by the B-share. The club’s stake in the New York Stock Exchange is represented by its A-share.
If it is sold to the INEOS company, Ratcliffe would immediately spend a staggering £2.5 billion to start the buyout. Within the next two to four years, he will pay the remaining sum in installments to purchase the Glazers’ interests. Currently, the Glazers hold 69 percent of the Red Devils’ stock.
The Glazers purchased Manchester United when?
Recently, the Glazers have not pleased Manchester United supporters.
In June 2005, the Glazer family paid £790 million to purchase Manchester United, according to Reuters. While the team initially enjoyed success by winning the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League, it eventually dried up.
The Red Devils have had trouble winning titles since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. It is a difficult scenario for the supporters of a club with the magnitude of Manchester United to accept.
Inquiries over the club’s activity—or lack thereof—in the transfer market have also been directed at the Glazers. Fans generally expressed dissatisfaction with the American owners in recent years. It appears that a takeover will shortly be finalized.
