Sounds as about exciting as your employer telling you they are going to increase you pay by contributing more to your pension.
I wonder if the Glazers were waiting for this just to see what they can ask for?

Couldn't be further from the truth actually. The Glazers didn't spend a penny. They always use club money and the allocated budget for the summer was known 12 months ago and Arnold even let it slip ages ago.
The sale isn't connected.
It's nothing for us to get excited about. We are just paying off debt.
"The minority investment will primarily be used to pay down bank debt incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic and capital expenses made to enhance Anfield, build the AXA Training Centre, repurchase Melwood training ground and, most recently, acquisitions during the summer transfer window."
The Glazers will have to get a hell of a lot more investment than that to even take a chunk out of the debt.
No one is going to invest that amount unless they are guaranteed some kind of return.
It’s a shame the fake sheikh and his nation state puppet master haven moved on to Liverpool
Or someone

Worth noting that the Glazers don't have a lot of equity to play with before they lose a controlling interest in the club. They currently hold just 69% of the shares. Moreover, these shares are distributed between multiple siblings with differing views on whether to sell or hold out for a higher price.
Joel and Avram are rumoured to be the most keen on holding onto the club and driving the price higher. So they would presumably be the most keen on getting more investment. But are they likely to want to give up equity to reinvest in the club - let alone the other siblings (who probably prefer to sell their shares at a higher price in a full sale)?
Is Joan Collins on the board now?
The debt stands over £500m. They would needs investors with very deep pockets to pay that off

Nit entirely true. Sounds like an excuse to accept Qatari ownership by claiming there is no other option. United the club could pay off that debt themselves and still be among the biggest spenders in transfers. All they need is an owner willing to pay it down. The Glazers have pocketed more money than that debt and have intentionally maintained it because it's not in their interest to clear it. It's remained around the same amount throughout most of their tenure.

I didn't mean that they spent their own money. But they released the funds to start signing players once they had decided that they wouldn't be selling the club this summer. Buying large assets at a time when you are actively looking to sell the club only serves to complicate any possible deal. I think once we signed Mount it became clear that the sale of the club was off the table for the time being.
