Glazers’ Clause Sparks Ownership Drama at Man Utd…
The Glazer family now has the power to sell their Manchester United shares thanks to a clause that sprang into action like a cat on a hot tin roof. This conditional power shuffle stems from Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 25% stake acquisition back in February. Known as the “drag-along” right, this clause means the Glazers can not only sell their stake but might even toss Ineos like a Frisbee alongside it. While this epic drama unfolds, Sir Jim suggests that these legal details should remain in their drawer gathering dust like an old trophy.
Despite all the excitement, it seems Manchester United’s ownership isn’t budging anytime soon because Sir Jim and the Glazers are getting along like two peas in a pod—or perhaps more like two soccer fans at a game, debating which team has the best snacks. Meanwhile, Sheikh Jassim’s interest in United has flatlined faster than a deflated football as he now has his eyes set on the sprawling deserts of mega projects elsewhere. It’s all quiet on the Qatar front as they attempt to nab the Olympics while keeping their sporting ambitions shelved for now.
