[Chingo]

Five live’s top sports bloke is reporting a bloke that doesn’t exist is trying to buy United … some of our fans

Sheffield United: Henry Mauriss has £115m bid to buy Championship club accepted

American businessman Henry Mauriss has had a £115m bid to buy Sheffield United accepted by the Championship club.

Blimey just went you thought the last PL season was weird this season just gets weirder and weirder. Fookin ell.

 

[LewishamBlade]

Obviously it’s terrifying if you’re not a United fan..

Wait are you suggesting I’m not a United fan? Are you oreyt?

 

[Hagan/Currie10]

This is Sheffield United we're talking about here. He's got to be some kind of con artist.

We'll probably end up liquidated and playing at graves park in 2 years.

Would rather be playing at Graves Park as opposed to my club being run by the HORRIBLE OBESE MAN. What was he doing with his life when I was born in Sheffield ???

 

[JJBlade]

True, my first thought is "What is the catch?"

Plenty of other clubs ripe for purchase at the moment.

Yeah, so many more attractive clubs to buy
Plymouth, Exeter, either Bristol club, Gillingham, or anybody else that our fans feel inferior to

 

[Frank the tank]

Can't be many clubs that turned a profit in the last financial year
Remember a wolves fan saying that their investors main attraction to them was their profit in the last years account giving them 3 years maximum benefit to spend against ffp

Reading between the lines in his press interview PH knows it's going on...

Nope, I just check it’s just white background

Ooowwww YB, hit delete, you might want to interview him one day

People saying he's been done for fraud.

Only link I can find is this, which suggests to me that the people parroting this "fraudster" stuff just have poor reading comprehension.

Newcastle subject of new £350m bid brokered by convicted fraudster

Newcastle are the target of a fresh £350million takeover bid which is brokered by a convicted fraudster.

www.express.co.uk

"It is added that Chris Ronnie, a good pal of Ashley, has been brought in to broker the deal.
Ronnie is the former boss of JJB Sports and was imprisoned for four years in 2014 for fraud worth £1m.
The convicted fraudster apparently brought Mauriss to the table in January and it is thought he would have no further involvement once a deal is struck."

Not Mauriss that is the fraudster.. that's if he exists and isn't Ronnie/Ashley's alter-ego

Newcastle fans were basically using that as proof of stuff. Could be true, also is pretty meaningless.

If this happens then won't you request an interview with him..........

He will

I agree with this to a certain extent.

I think the Prince's intentions have been good, but he's been somewhat naive at times. He's spread himself too thinly over too many clubs, and he's nowhere near wealthy enough to achieve what he or we want, longer-term.

He's been fairly transparent throughout, although the radio silence since that odd-job yank held a presser to say he doesn't care about football has been weird and unwelcome, and doesn't sit well with Yorkshire folk.

But what he has done, he's done with good intent, I believe. He's just not experienced enough or wealthy enough to stick around longer-term.

That has been my concern and the fact he has just disappeared off the radar. I just hope despite his lack of visibility in recent months he is selling us to someone who he trusts has the financial backing to take us to the next level rather than him making a quick buck to fund his vanity project at United World. Time will tell.

Ian Dennis (commentator) on Five Live has just been talking about it. It has been months in the planning according to him.

Has Chancer put on a lot of weight recently
You dont own your own ground so there is a chance you might be playing in a park surely the one next to the Sty would be better than Graves Park

The prince disappearing and the Newcastle take over are too close together to not be linked imo!

I have an inkling that he was privately 'referred' to us by the Saudi consortium following, or maybe even during, the talks with Newcastle.

Many things could just be a coincidence but I can't help but feel like some of the dots do actually join up.

Here is a man who has no money, you can have him buy your club.

 

[Le Cynique]

The Prince will always be a Blade to me. I know some people don’t like him, but he oversaw the greatest PL season I’ve seen in my lifetime, and if not for JOC’s injury we might have made a decent fist of things in the second season and beyond too.

You've got to much time on your hands mate

 

[We're back!]

Hmmmm...this all seems a bit odd. The fella's net worth is reported to be in the billions! What's he want with us? I'm intrigued and a tiny bit excited!

Just our luck , major investment just as the nukes are going to start flying

Yes but it will be just after half time in the play off final when we are 5-0 up and Forest are down to 9 men.

He playing with a fractured foot is he?

 

[1888to1889]

Sadly, I’m possibly the only person on here old enough to get that.

Pint of cooking and a bag of nuts please!

No your not
