Manchester United bidder Thomas Zilliacus believes the Glazers’ disconnect with fans is a major reason for their unpopularity.
Zilliacus formally submitted his proposals on Friday after the Raine Group - the US bank conducting the takeover process - extended its Wednesday soft deadline for second bids.
The Finnish businessman told the Manchester Evening News that his offer was “on the same level” as those from Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe. On Saturday morning, the 69-year-old announced that he had further increased his bid.
