Be hilarious if they put Newcastle up for sale now![]()
I think it depends on size of the club and what fans do to be honest.If it is a 100% sale then they will be queuing up. Biggest Club in the richest league in the world.
I realise you are on a wind up however anyone who really believes the fans, even the great Mr. Wraith, brought about the sale is naive at best.

Bedsheets and boycoutt ! Would be a despicable owner zerur oor contracsQuick sale of the Saudi mags back to Big Mike?
Naaah. They’ve seen the Super League isn’t guaranteed and the price paid for Chelsea should be beaten by both so gives a nice tidy profit. Plus the mags.If Chelsea worth 4.5B so is Man Utd ….. I see these clowns want 2 times that amount. at that price they really are not interested in selling.
I dislike Newcastle but there are clearly putting pressure on the top of the PL pyramid thus they both want out….
Journalist Sam Wallace also reckons that. Also that the Glazers weren't happy 'project big picture' didn't happen.Looks like these American owners are now realising that now the super League is on the back burner they can't see any more ways of coining in more Dosh.
I'd imagine they weren't as an American style closed shop league as always the goal, and without that happening risks such as not qualifying for Europe and (less likely) relegation remain with only limited opportunities available to increase revenues.Journalist Sam Wallace also reckons that.

Kevin ?I hope Ratcliffe buys them.
You forgot to mention how much they have paid themselves beyond the sale.Chelsea went for 3bn, assume Man Utd at least 5bn. The Glaziers bought the club for 800m. The lump sum was borrowed & they used income from the club to pay it off
Me thinks they ain't finishing up in the poor house anything soon
utd come with aassociated costs of redeve,oplijng the stadium though...as have a lot of debt whereas abramavhich got the people he borrowed the chelsea money from to forget about the debt they were owed..Chelsea went for 3billion. How much bigger and potentially more lucrative/ successful are man United.
powners saw how much chelsea went for and realise now could be a good time to sell.If Chelsea worth 4.5B so is Man Utd ….. I see these clowns want 2 times that amount. at that price they really are not interested in selling.
