For MANU- I think it's more likely the Glazers would sell a minority stake to someone. YOu'd be surprised; I don't know why someone would want a noncontrol interet in a minority team, but people do it all the time! MSGS is considering raising one right now

On selling without including minorities- you could just sell all of your shares to the new bidder. For WWE, Vince could just sell his control shares. MANU could do something similar- I believe the Glazers own super voting classs b shares

thanks. this seems like the big risk. that the buyer is happy owning control but not 100%.

and in the case of large minority buys, don't they frequently include some sort of right-of-first refusal if/when the control sells the rest?
