There's lots of talk about QIA somehow pivoting from #LFC to #MUFC. Understanding remains QIA did not hold any advanced talks, or make an offer, for #LFC despite wanting to explore the football market. & still told a private fund will front Qatar's expected #MUFC offer. 
What makes Qatar's interest complicated is a variety of groups and individuals have key input. Ultimately any offer is driven by the Emir. But QIA sources, familiar with discussions, say they won't be the face of an offer. As reported, QSI not directly involved either.
The Qatari bid is not expected to meet the Glazer's valuation for an outright sale. All offers are initial and further due diligence will be required to establish a more accurate valuation. Friday could easily be an anti-climax.
As reported, keep an eye on Harris Blitzer Sports Entertainment, who have looked at both #MUFC and #LFC. Unlike the #CFC sale process they don't have Sir Martin Broughton involved. Stephen Pagliuca declining to comment on any interest. He proved the 'mystery' bidder for Chelsea.
3-4 credible bids are anticipated, but the 10pm (UK) deadline is soft. Late offers will be accepted and it's equally as possible Raine Group formally extend the deadline.
As for #LFC, well-placed sources close to FSG dismiss anything concrete from Qatar (historical or active).
