Rumour:Prince wants to buy out McCabe...

[AdamSufc1997]

Rumour that the Prince wants to invest big in our club and take us to the top as he said he would. He wants to buy out McCabe because he doesn't want to match the investment the Prince wants to invest into us.

Load of bollocks if you ask me

Sauce?

 

[Superblades]

As much as I would like that to happen, I can't see McCabe selling up.

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

The source is Adam himself , I am always sceptical when someone starts a rumours thread and offers no credence to back up what they say other than "rumour has it ...." Etc ! Rumour has it that most of the rumours on here are pointless boring threads with nothing to back them up .
As ever UTB

 

[Kev Gee]

I doubt the Prince could actually afford to buy out mccabe.

Hes only worth about a 100 mill isnt he?

 

[robbiez666]

Wasn't the initial agreement that Kev would match any investment from HRH and there have been rumours before that he's refused to. Could have legs.

Yes that rings a bell, wasn't the figure $115 million? Something like that?

If it's on a bacon sandwich then HP please.

He could buy out McCabe, look on the internet because the telegraph says he is worth in the region of 18.5 billion. I don't know if that's right but his business turned over 225m in 2014/15. That being said, with the restrictions in place with FFP you can only spend around 50% of income generated in league 1 so that's us fooked.

Prince is dead isn't he ?

It's not right

 

[TC's Magic Boots]

Like I said I don't know how right it is but I could imagine he could buy the club. Now is the time he needs to put his money on the table though, it's the opportunity for him to show he means business.

It's completely wrong, poor journalism confusing him with his dead uncle who was King.

He's thought to be worth £100M but it isn't spare cash. McCabe would want a considerable amount for the other 50% of the club plus the ground.

Doesn't look likely.

 

[TC's Magic Boots]

You are right UB, the figure quoted is for the former King and not the prince. He himself says his fortune only runs into 'hundreds' of millions.

Unlike Hammond...

 

[Esablade]

What exactly would Princey be buying/is McCabe selling?

The other half of Blades Leisure?
The ground back, those proposed flats McCabe is keen to knock up..the hotel!?!??!?

It's a tangled web

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

That for me would be a massive step forward for this club - but its too good to be true, I would imagine.

Turnover isn't profit and 100% of profit wouldn't be directly into HRH's pocket anyway. He probably isn't a billionaire.

Agreed, mind you a consortium within the family could probably muster near on a billion no problem.

 

[Bladesman]

Well it would be a good move if true, anything that takes the decision making away from McCabe.

Why is everyone obsessed about being owned by a bloke who can't get involved with the day to day running of sufc?

 

[Sirius]

Prince is dead isn't he ?

Yes unfortunately Prince is still dead

A good point Blade58. If HRH has in fact invested as much as we are told, his investment is decreasing in value, with not much prospect of any sort of return.
Is he prepared to sit on his thumb and oversee further decline?. If that is not the case, IMO. he must invest further, and invest NOW. The upward progression needs a kick start, now Chris Wilder is here, Princie might just see light at the end of a vrry dark tunnel.
Frankly, all the talk of waiting until we are promoted before investing is a load of bollocks. I'm afraid if HRH wishes to move the club up a notch, it is hands in pocket time to get the loose change out
Just one more thing. I know the guy must be busy doing whatever it is that princes do but, it would be good to see him at the Lane once in a while, and for him to tell us what his plans for United are.

 

[JJBlade]

It's no use talking about his family
There are thousands of them and they probably don't even know each other or have any sort of relationship with each other

 

[Jackson Blade]

His family is worth £18.5bn, his net worth was reported to be £152.66m in a Forbes richest Arabs list. Im sure he could have a whip round though.

That's why no fucker wants to invest.
[Maybe]

A good point Blade58.

How very dare you S, Blade58 would be mortified using his tag for my ramblings

Sorry about that 56 Small phone keys' poor eye sight equal to any refs coupled with a drop of Highland Park and a stab in the dark Let me downl

The worst thing that could happen to Utd in our history ,cant believe some people want a foreign investor from the middle East who has only been to one match this season ,with questionable funds to take over full ownership of Utd. What have we become ,or what would we become ? McCabe for all his faults which are grossly exaggerated on here at least keeps an eye on things at the club. Adkins was the princes man not McCabes although some wont believe it. I just cant believe some would gamble our club on this ,we would become a neglected toy in a couple of years and left to rot.

Got a feeling this post is going to drag on longer than the made up Chinese consortium post..

Move on, nothing to see here
