以下渣翻请见谅，有翻的不好地方可以留言告诉我，感谢
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.
卡达王子Sheikh Jassim的顾问团与92基金会(致敬曼联92黄金一代而命名)上周拜访了
老特拉福，与曼联管理层进行了会谈，并获允许查阅了俱乐部帐目。
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.
卡达集团是与曼联进行面谈的几个团队之一，在周三截止日前曼联已收到多达八份报价。
然而在周三截止日的傍晚，市场一片紧张的情况下，Raine(格雷泽家族专用财务顾问，负
责销售曼联的中间人)最终决定延长截止日期。
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.
卡达王子Sheikh Jassim已准备在周三晚上9点截止日前提交报价，但当截止日延期后，
卡达团队选择善用时间微调报价。
并非所有的报价都是要收购整个俱乐部，其中约有一半提出收购少数股权或是向其他
报价提供潜在融资，例如美国对冲基金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.
第一轮过程中，出价人递交了简短的意向声明和财务证明，但没有任何报价超过45亿
英镑，远低于格雷泽家族要求的60亿英镑。
But the second round sees more concrete offers put forward to Raine Group and
a 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.
但第二轮有更多更具体的报价提交给Raine Group，现在有一份热腾腾的声明确认卡达报价
已正式提交，连同卡达王子Sheikh Jassim准备支付的大笔费用。
乳摸说，这笔钜款大约是50亿英镑左右，超过了去年Walton-Penner集团收购NFL球队丹佛
野马时的46.5亿美元（38亿英镑），是有史以来最大的体育收购案。
Sheikh Jassim is one of two front-runners who have emerged in the race to buy
United, 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.
卡达王子Sheikh Jassim是曼联争夺战的两位领跑者之一，另一位是INEOS创始人
Jim Ratcliffe爵士，他在上周亲自拜访了老特拉福和Carrington(曼联训练基地在此)
后也提出了纪录性的报价。
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.
但没人能保证格雷泽家族会出售俱乐部，他们将在下周与Raine进行磋商，评估所有报价
并决定下一步。
心得：卡达王子加码了，究竟曼联人生会不会落幕呢？
补一个在Romano推特看到的图，满好笑 XD
