Can I buy your motor for £100? House for £500. Don't be so stupid. I take it you are the guy who answers the emails from Nigerian princes?

Funny to read Man Utd fans warning us about Americans buying the club. It's the ones from Motherwell you really need to watch.

Yup, you would think they would be facing some sort of sanction for the nick of their pitch and number of call offs. 20 point deduction sounds about right to me 🙂

Taylor Swift was on the news last night because her net worth has reached $1BN. Could this announcement possibly be coincedence ? On a more serious note (just in case someone thinks the above was serious), I see the amateur accountants and corporate lawyers are out spouting shite again. It's amazing that a few people on here with such a multitude of business and football knowledge haven't bought the club already.

Regarding the statements, or lack of. There are all sorts of legal, compliance and regulatory issues defining exactly what can and can't be said during these kinds of transactions - and they mostly boil down to not being able to say very much. That is true for dealings both sides of the pond. I don't see anything about the potential investor being American, only that they are a "US-based family" - and there's a quite a few us of us here that fit that bill and are not American (I'm not the investor, btw). Enjoyed the analysis of the "2017 Trump Tax Reforms' though. Thousands of pages of complex tax law distilled into "you can write off overseas losses". BTW, not saying I'm in favour of this - I voted against allowing overall control for any investor and I'll need to see some serious detail before I continue to contribute to the Society.

I for one welcome our new Kardashian overlords.

you really are a bad tempered ignorant sort. I'll make this my last interaction with the likes of you. The club is only worth what someone will pay for it, that doesn't mean that the club would be sold at any offer offer. You can ask for £8/9 million until the cows come home but if if no one offers that then its not worth £8/9Million.

Wanting and requiring are two different things. Nobody says anything about the club struggling or going under if they don't get money in that video.

Aye it's the gie us some dosh bit. And it's not like the wean is ad libbing it's all scripted. Putting out a video suggesting we require American investment when they were in talks with a potential American investor is extremely dubious.
