Manchester United Sale: Second Offer to Acquire Club Is Still Valid Says Thomas Zilliacus
Posted : 18 April 2023
Thomas Zilliacus says he is still interested in buying Manchester United and has pushed the Glazer family to set a price for the team.
The Glazers decided to participate in a third round of bidding this week.
A Finnish businessman named Zilliacus declared on social media that he would not participate "in a farce" and that he had declined the chance to make a third bid.
Instead of hinting that he was fully withdrawing, Zilliacus stated that his second offer is still on the table.
"My earlier offer still stands and I am willing to pay a premium above what I offered," he told reporters.
"I'm not going to be participating in a third round because I find it highly unprofessional. I see no reason whatsoever why a third round is basically starting the whole thing from scratch.
"It seems odd to me that, if there is a genuine will to sell and you have three serious bidders, why you don't sit down with the bidders, discuss and negotiate and hopefully come to a number that everyone can agree."
However, Zilliacus did not suggest that he was fully withdrawing; rather, he stated that his second offer is still on the table.
"I can't see the Glazers spending a lot of money on new players," he said. "If they have decided to sell the club, why would they do that?
"The potential to have a negative impact on the club is big and is growing every day when there is no decision on this."
