Looks like Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani isn’t taking his withdrawal from the Manchester United bidding process lying down.<\/p>\n
After nearly a year of proposals, the Qatari banker has reportedly fired off a letter to the Glazer family, insinuating that they may have never intended to sell the club in the first place.<\/p>\n
According to SportsZone, Jassim claims the Glazers were only interested in using the bidding process to increase the club’s valuation and sell minority shares at a higher price. Ouch!<\/p>\n
Jassim’s final bid was reportedly around $6 billion, but it wasn’t enough to convince the Glazers to part ways with their prized possession.<\/p>\n
Instead, they’re now in talks with British businessman Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is only interested in buying a 25% stake in the club.<\/p>\n
It’s a bit of a comedown for the Glazers, who were originally hoping to sell a majority stake in the club.<\/p>\n
But hey, at least they’ll still be able to cash in on some of that sweet United money!<\/p>\n
