Michael Knighton

About to prepare a formal 'hostile' bid to buy us.

Don't know much about the guy, except he's a former board member and failed in a bid to buy us back in 89.

Anyone share some light on this guy or the proposed take over bid?

I'm confused as I thought we'd have been bought out by Culer by now.😉

The only people that can buy Utd at the prices the Glazers will want are Gates, Musk or the Saudis.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gates would be the pick, the Saudi’s and musk can fack off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Gates would at least be adept at transfer Windows.

Have a word with yourself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe he’d excel
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the very least a bright outlook

He's a clown... Can't believe people are taking him seriously and hoping he takes over

He tried in 89...with a consortium who all ran away before the deal could complete. He got a seat on the board from Edwards after getting more backing but not being able to get the money on time... Mad even then

I've seen prats on twitter proclaiming he was the brains behind our commercial success in the 90s....Jesus Christ

He was gone before the Premier league started.

He took over Carlisle later... Sacked the manager first sign of bother and appointed himself in charge of the team and training for about 18 months

He left them in administration, nearly killed them off altogether

His life and success tho... That's down to him and his wife being visited by aliens who told him to believe in himself.... Google it

Seriously this is what people want to believe will save us... Fk me learn a bit of club history outside of the pitch

As for money men behind him in a consortium

He's worth 7 million max... So he'd need multi or billionaire backers... People with that sort of money don't throw it behind morons like Knighton, they'd laugh in his face

I remember knighton had a bid in 1989 and ITV had a live interview with him on the pitch before a game. Edwards knew he was a clown.

This. Exactly this.

I still remember watching him doing the kick ups. I was only 10 at the time, but still remember thinking that it was all a bit odd.

Knighton is full of shat, he won't be generating the £5bn it'll take to get the Glazers to sell up.

With United's share price plummeting, there might be new actors taking to the takeover stage.
