以下渣翻請見諒，有翻的不好地方可以留言告訴我，感謝

A delegation of advisors working on behalf of Sheikh Jassim and his ‘Nine
Two Foundation’ – named in homage to the Class of ’92 – visited Old
Trafford last week for talks with United’s hierarchy and were given access
to the club’s books.

卡達王子Sheikh Jassim的顧問團與92基金會(致敬曼聯92黃金一代而命名)上週拜訪了
老特拉福，與曼聯管理層進行了會談，並獲允許查閱了俱樂部帳目。

The Qatari group were one of several to meet with United, with as many as
eight offers having been expected prior to Wednesday’s deadline – although
the time period was belatedly extended by Raine, who are marketing the sale,
late in the evening amid some degree of confusion.

卡達集團是與曼聯進行面談的幾個團隊之一，在週三截止日前曼聯已收到多達八份報價。然而在週三截止日的傍晚，市場一片緊張的情況下，Raine(格雷澤家族專用財務顧問，負責銷售曼聯的中間人)最終決定延長截止日期。

Sheikh Jassim was ready to submit his offer before Wednesday’s 9pm deadline,
but when an extension was offered the Qatari group opted to use the time to
fine-tune their bid even further.
Not all of the offers are to buy the club outright, with around half
proposing minority stakes or potential financing to other bids – such as US
hedge fund Elliott Management.

卡達王子Sheikh Jassim已準備在週三晚上9點截止日前提交報價，但當截止日延期後，
卡達團隊選擇善用時間微調報價。
並非所有的報價都是要收購整個俱樂部，其中約有一半提出收購少數股權或是向其他
報價提供潛在融資，例如美國對沖基金Elliott Management。

The first round of the process saw bidders submit brief statements of intent
and proof of finances, with no offer exceeding the ￡4.5billion mark – well
short of the Glazer family’s ￡6bn asking price.

第一輪過程中，出價人遞交了簡短的意向聲明和財務證明，但沒有任何報價超過45億
英鎊，遠低於格雷澤家族要求的60億英鎊。

But the second round sees more concrete offers put forward to Raine Group anda fresh statement has now confirmed that the Qatari bid has officially been
submitted with Sheikh Jassim prepared to stump up a mammoth fee.
A rumoured offer in the region of ￡5billion would eclipse the $4.65bn (￡
3.8bn) sale of NFL team the Denver Broncos when they were bought by the
Walton-Penner group last year – the biggest sporting takeover in history.

但第二輪有更多更具體的報價提交給Raine Group，現在有一份熱騰騰的聲明確認卡達報價已正式提交，連同卡達王子Sheikh Jassim準備支付的大筆費用。
乳摸說，這筆鉅款大約是50億英鎊左右，超過了去年Walton-Penner集團收購NFL球隊丹佛野馬時的46.5億美元（38億英鎊），是有史以來最大的體育收購案。

Sheikh Jassim is one of two front-runners who have emerged in the race to buyUnited, with the other being INEOS founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe – who has also
made a record offer after personally visiting Old Trafford and Carrington
last week.

卡達王子Sheikh Jassim是曼聯爭奪戰的兩位領跑者之一，另一位是INEOS創始人
Jim Ratcliffe爵士，他在上周親自拜訪了老特拉福和Carrington(曼聯訓練基地在此)
後也提出了紀錄性的報價。

There is no guarantee that the Glazers will sell the club, however, and they
will consult with Raine over the next week to evaluate the bids and decide
their next move.

但沒人能保證格雷澤家族會出售俱樂部，他們將在下周與Raine進行磋商，評估所有報價並決定下一步。

心得：卡達王子加碼了，究竟曼聯人生會不會落幕呢？
