United: All Quiet on the Glazer Front
Manchester United say they have received no approach regarding
a possible takeover of the club by American investor Malcolm Glazer.
Speculation that the billionaire Tampa Bay Bucaneers owner is planning
a bid to buy United reached new heights last night after the matter
was referred to the Takeover Panel.
Glazer, who last week increased his stake in the club to 16.31%,
admitted yesterday he was considering his options and could
increase his shareholding.
A statement from the club's plc today revealed they had had
no forewarning of any further activity.
'The board of Manchester United plc wishes to make clear that,
as at today's date, it has not received any approach, formal or informal,
regarding a possible takeover offer for the company,' it read.
Glazer increased his stake in United less than 24 hours after
John Magnier and JP McManus did the same thing,
fuelling rumours of a takeover war between the two camps.
United were subsequently placed in an offer period by the Takeover Panel,
the regulatory body which administers the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.
Glazer also released a statement to the Stock Exchange yesterday morning,
in which he announced:
'The Malcolm I. Glazer Family Partnership has acquired shares in
Manchester United because it has great admiration for Manchester United's
rich history, loyal fans, great players, outstanding managers,
winning tradition and for investment purposes.
'As with any investment, it is considering its possible options,
which may include increasing its shareholding or decreasing
its shareholding in Manchester United.
'It could also include a possible offer for or a possible sale of
its shareholding in Manchester United.
'Contrary to press speculation, no financial adviser has as yet
been appointed in connection with its investment in Manchester United.'
Shares in Manchester United fell today after the club's plc board
played down the rumours.
After initially rising by around 1 per cent this morning,
United's shares closed down 2.75p at 265.5p,
a fall of just over 1 per cent.
