Latest on the #MUFC sale.
For avoidance of doubt, neither Nine Two Foundation or INEOS have been informed yet if they have won. Those close to the process deny exclusivity will be given.
Qatar mood more positive after fifth bid. INEOS always cautiously optimistic...

Both groups pretty frustrated because they are being kept on the brink, ready to execute, but knowing their rival is in the same position. This is very atypical given how far into the process we are.
We are beyond the type of negotiation associated with a preferred bidder stage. Both groups have been already treated like preferred bidders in terms of tasks they've undertaken, including deep talks and legal groundwork.
Next (and final) stage is focused less on negotiation (remember Qatar say they won't engage on financials now) and more on the roadmap to completion.
One final point: I understand fans are frustrated, and it's very easy to just hop on the 'Qatar has won' bandwagon. I am certainly not suggesting Nine Two Foundation won't win. But important not to jump the gun until picture is clearer, even if doing so results in a bit of abuse!
