Ed001, I saw you mentioned on the United page that FSG know of an interested buyer from the UAE, if they decide to sell. Do you know who it is? is it an individual or a consortium? Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - it is not as simple as an individual or consortium, as consortiums are basically a bunch of holdings of one person, but you can not be sure which part is behind the decision making process involved. There are certain extremely individually wealthy people out here who are fans of the club, which is why the previous bid from DIC came about, it was a fan of the club who headed up that particular consortium on behalf of the then Sheikh. The now Sheikh is his younger brother, as he abdicated to concentrate on his business not long after that. It is entirely possible that is why they are interested particularly in Liverpool, or it could be just they see a long term potential in investment. I would not expect it to be any kind of Man City move, they are not looking for a club to throw money at in order to raise the Emirate's standing around the world. This is purely business.}

Sounds promising then, although as you said they'll likely treat it as an investment, being fans of the club will make them want to see success on the pitch as well as off the pitch. They'll also have the financial muscle to increase our capacity beyond 60,000 I assume. Let's hope they keep their interest for when FSG call it a day.

{Ed001's Note - that is if it is the fans doing the pushing and not the investment vehicle itself. It is impossible to know which it is unless you are actually involved at the highest level.}
