Make-or-break talks for United
A MAKE-or-break meeting between Manchester United's board and advisers to US millionaire Malcolm Glazer will take place this week.
No member of the Glazer family will attend the meeting, which will determine if a takeover offer is formally made to shareholders.
After months of speculation and uncertainty the Old Trafford board must decide what to do regarding Glazer's 300p per share proposed bid, which values the world's richest club at £800m.
All the indications are that the board, led by chief executive David Gill, will refuse to recommend the bid to shareholders, even though they concede 300p per share is a fair price.
Aware of a backlash from fans groups bitterly opposed to a takeover by Glazer, the board is likely to say it does not believe a takeover would be in the company's best interests, because of the level of debt involved.
However, the share price has fallen in the last few weeks, particularly after half-year results showed a 50 per cent fall in profits. This may affect the board's thinking.
Racehorse-owners
The key to Glazer's bid succeeding will be the position of Irish racehorse-owners JP McManus and John Magnier, who own a crucial 28.9 per cent stake in the club.
The ultra low profile Irish pair, have never spoken publicly about their intentions, but have made it known they see themselves as long term investors.
However, they have not pumped a fortune into the club for sentimental reasons.
Advisers to the American believe 300p in cash will be acceptable to the Irishmen.
A source close to the Glazer team said: "It's make your mind up time. We have now completed due diligence and funding has been confirmed. We have done everything the board asked us to do and it will be up to them."
The source said there would be no change to the planned £300m debt which is part of the £800m deal.
Glazer, and his son Joel, who is leading the bid, are "unlikely" to attend the meeting, the source said. "They will not come to the UK until we have got some clarity as to which way they are going to jump.

Go and die Glazer, leave our club alone!
Our board be absolute mad if they accept it. They will taking a debt free club into the red to the tune of £300m, we'd be ****ed over night.

Not that the nondescript midfielder should shoulder all the blame. For the third time in four games, Manchester United's £65 million strike force drew a blank. The combined tally for Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Louis Saha and Alan Smith in the Premiership stands at 20, less than Thierry Henry's contribution to Arsenal and just two more than Crystal Palace's Andy Johnson has managed.
Still more damning for the misfiring quartet are the statistics from Spain; Diego Forlan, with 18 goals, is almost outscoring them. However, it is still hard to imagine that the Uruguayan would be the answer to United's dearth of goals.
They have only 48 in the Premiership; unless they can score 16 times in their remaining six matches, an unwelcome club record beckons.
With Arsenal, now holding the advantage in the battle for second place in the Premiership, possible opponents in the final and the chance of another bitter rematch with Wenger, the FA Cup is assuming ever more importance for Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson.

Saha Sielined for 2 more weeks.
he has to be sold.we'll be lucky to even get 8m for him now.
no doubt his potential.
or maybe he can be swapped for essien.
that will leave us with ruud,smith,rooney as main 3 strikers.
Rossi can help to that list too.
it may be that when we sell saha he'll be prevented from injuries at other clubs and will perorm great.
thats our luck--forlan,veron,stam,beckham
