M. U. F. C. officially announce the purchase of shares by SJR has been completed.
Yay! let the start of the rebirth begin.

So he now owns 27.7% because the £200m investment was in return for shares and he will put in another £100m by the end of the year in return for another 1%, is that correct, and that makes him the largest single owner at United.

He has a mixture of the A and B shares. The B shares are worth more than the A shares.
The B shares are what the Glazers own.

That's right Mad Hatter, the B shares have increased voting rights.
I believe it's 10 votes per B share, while it's 1 for A. Up until now all the B shares were owned by the Glazer family.

Great news.

Surely he’ll start picking off the other glazer siblings shares or is it not that simple?
{Ed002's Note - It is not that simple.}
21 Feb 2024 16:29:38
Fair enough.

Doable though ports. I'm sure that's the long term plan.

If he wants to eventually own all of it he has to take the club off the public market which he has done to every company he has purchased before and find a solution like he did in his initial purchase which listening to him was quite complicated.

Thought he came across really well in the interview. Probably said enough in ten seconds to give some hope and optimism that no-one else at the club has said in a decade.

Agree Spenno ?.

He came across very well.
He clearly does not indulge fluff and nonsense, which you expect from hugely successful people.
In an odd way it’s left me wanting to watch it again - aside from the topic he’s somewhat inspirational in the way he handles himself.
