The sheikh has a good chance to win the bid, but it is possible that it will not be to take full control of the club but maybe a buy in as an investor in the club and have a huge stake in Manchester United. The current owners are hoping to be able to secure this of deal, so that they won't just leave the club. This is a possible end to the long going bargain and speculations about the new ownership, the kind of end that the glazers would want, but it is also likely that it may not go that way, they may be forced into selling the club entirely.
