More talk of Glazier today. Is anyone else concerned about these Murdoch friends (has he got any?) and associates are piling our shares into their pockets?
Tanya Man Utd bid talk intensifies By Dan Sabbagh The Times October 04, 2003 Bid speculation surrounding Manchester United intensified last night after a mystery buyer snapped up another large block of shares not long before the stock market closed. Shares in the football club jumped another 7 per cent to 218p, making them the third strongest riser in the FTSE 250. Officials at Manchester United could offer no explanation for the price movement or shed light on the identity of the buyer, who picked up three million shares at 220p. The likely explanation is that Malcolm Glazer, the American sports property investor who owns the American football team the Tampa Bay Bucaneers, is buying up more shares in the club. He has been actively acquiring the stock over the past fortnight, and raised his stake to nearly 6 per cent earlier this week. The club, which is trying to contact Mr Glazer, has not met him as yet and does not know what his intentions are. Mr Glazer controls First Allied Corporation, a property company that, according to its website, �pays all cash� for investments of �anywhere from $3 million to $500 million�. However, Manchester United will cost a little more than that: at yesterday�s close the club was worth �566 million. Mr Glazer could not be contacted for comment ------------------------ Yahoo!
