Former Nokia communications boss,Thomas Zilliacus, has pulled out of the race to buy Manchester United, calling the bidding process a “farce.”
Zilliacus took to Twitter to air his frustration, saying he “will not participate in a farce set up to maximise the profit for the sellers at the expense of Manchester United.”
He added:
“I have declined participation in a third bidding round for United. The bidding is turning into a farce, with Glazers giving no respect to the club. The delays will make it very difficult for any new owner to build a winning team for next season.”
The 69-year-old, who lives in Singapore was a late entrant to the process and said he wanted to buy 50% of the club, with the remaining half being held by fans.
