Muhammed Seikki has won control of Manchester United in a £900M (1.74bn) Take over bid.

The Arab has secured a 70 percent stake owned by the American sports Tycoon who bought the Club In May 2005.

Mesahi ltd, acting on behalf of Muhammed, has said the American has sold his stakes for 320p a share.

Club fans have vehemently blessed Muhammed Seikki's takeover of the Club.

The bid comes five days after Muhammed Siekki partner group Ackmed and co reported a $88.5bn profit in thier Oil group firm group.

Mr Muhhamed want's to gain full control of the club and turn United into a team that will be dominate the world for years to come.

Mr Muhammed Seikki added "It is a dream come true" "It's an amazing feeling that i have taken over the biggest club in the world" Mr Seikki also added, "I plan to make United into a team that will not also be successful on the pitch but also off the pitch around the world"

It is thought he has given United a £250 Million transfer treasure chest to sign new players.

"It is important that United grow stronger every year, every season teams will have small departments that need to be replaced and make stronger"

It is thought Muhammed will fly to Manchester Monday morning to seal the deal.

He's ************.

But i heard a while ago that man u where getting tookover, but it is going to be announced in july.

[Wolves]

whos being took over then? Liverpool or UTD?

[Jack.Lfc]

Portsmouth - why ony 60%?
Everton - why ony 60%?
westham - why ony 60%?

Man u will be announced next month (so ive heard) - owners want to stay in some form just needs someone to invest
But i have also heard liverpool have been took over - owners want to stay in some form just needs someone to invest

:/

[Clowgon]

Utd it's sold to Muhammed.

[Jack.Lfc]

Thing about all clubs out the top 4, why would they only buy 60%? when they most probabaly buy the 100. Thats why i have a feeling it could be Liverpool Or United, Chelsea dont need owners and arsenal already have millionaires on board.

Edit

Thinking about it, it could also be everton

-Bill kenright loves them and doesnt want to sell 100%

[Immenseman]

i don't see why anybody would buy united. it can't really be expanded that much more. it's the biggest club team in the world.

[Jack.Lfc]

[Immenseman]

yeaaaah wud be loads to buy it tho. would be cool to say u owned it though ha

[Jack.Lfc]

Thats why its 60%....

[Wolves]

walk into a posh dinner party; ''oh yes, i bought the football club in the world, manchester united, with the change in my back pocket."

Could be... If it was any of the top 4 Clubs it would have to be Liverpool and United because i can't see the dude who bought a massive stake in Arsenal would sell up so quickly. Roman wouldn't sell that's for sure.

Everton.. I'm sure Ken said he wasn't selling a few months ago. 6o percent aswell.... You would think that it was a big team who is worth a lot.

Agree with you. But with the kenright issue, alot of blues hate him and want rid. He doesnt own 60% thoo.

its wierd.

[Jack.Lfc]

Wolves name is getting thrown around now.

[Rock]

Probs either Liverpool, Man U or Everton.

Hmm after reading the Sun... Newcastle and Pompey look like the two most likely candidates of a reported 60 percent takeover. Mike Ashley would of wanted to sell the club fully so i don't know...

It's not Liverpool now... George Gillet has managed to get a financing deal over in American for 230 Million as their saying.. He's selling his hockey team also and Tom Hicks is selling his for an 90 Million pound/dollar profit so well done to them i suppose.

Liverpool better Transfer chest?

[Wolves]

Indeed, Liverpool should have a bit to spend.

Can't see it being Newcastle as the statement said ''Big PREMIERSHIP club.''

[Jack.Lfc]

Ok heres what im thinking but i may be clutching straws, but its possilbe.

The yanks could sell 30% each of there shares. Liverpools new stadium is never going to be built so the yanks have been looking for investors, the investors wont pay all of the debt therefore the yanks have to build up the funds to help as there 40% share.

Why have they just employed a new financial director to represent them?
Why did moores leave his position?

With everton, why not just buy the 100%?
Pompey have came out and denied this is them.

[Wolves]

Jack tbh now you say it, it really does all add-up.

[Jack.Lfc]

Oh yeh, the financial director to represent them is temporary so im told. It might not be these people in my opening post. But it looks like Liverpool could be taken over in the near future.

[Wolves]

Unless the Yanks have made a decision to focus only on Liverpool, thus selling all their other teams, but I doubt that. :P

[Jack.Lfc]

Liverpool FC Co-Chairmen, George Gillett and Tom Hicks, today announced the appointment of Christian Purslow as Managing Director of the Club. Christian Purslow will assume overall management of the Club until the appointment of a new Chief Executive, and will then continue as a Board Director. As Managing Director, Purslow will represent the owners and oversee all financial and operational aspects of the Club, working with Rafa Benitez on player transfers and with the Club's Group Chief Financial Officer, Philip Nash and Commercial Director, Ian Ayre on Club and commercial management.


Thats from liverpools official site, this bit stands out 'Christian Purslow will assume overall management of the Club until the appointment of a new Chief Executive' Why dont they just employ a new one straigt away? are they waiting for someone to take over then they employ there own?

Im loling at myself, all this will turn out to be nothing i bet.

[Jack.Lfc]

'There was growing speculation in the UAE last night that the announcement may be a publicity stunt, though as the news was originally released by WAM, the official Emirates media agency, this has offered some credence to the claim'.This is in papers tomorow
Lmao

Why would they do this? they dont need publicity.

But i still belive liverpool will be taken over.

[Wootzeh]

ITS STOKE

[Wolves]

na wolves.

[Jack.Lfc]

[Wolves]
