They all get a vote
FC United of Manchester is hiring
Hopefully Ratty goes for the dippers next.
"This is a scouse bid, for a scouse club.
I am making this investment as a fan of the beautiful game.
I'll put the poo back in Liverpool."

I feel like INEOS will need to do more to get fans on side again, because that PR statement earlier basically said everything fans would want to hear.
Truly Glaston's spiritual successorNo point saying welcome now, I think he's gone
Football Twitter is no joke. Savage environment if you get on the wrong side of people.
Absolutely terrible. The state of that. Feck me.
He gets constant homophobic abuse.
They need to ask Johnnowhite then. He babysat Busby as a kid.
When you see that it’s no wonder players don’t come out.
No chance they will care about that. Glazers are in it for the $$, nothing else.
Nope. But they let them set up offices in Qatar in 2012. Not really making me warm to a Qatar bid.
Yep. Look at the reactions to the rainbow devils statement. We even had a few appalling posts on here.
Ratcliffe and his Wall Street investors will be the vulture Glazers mk 2. Club will fall into oblivion within 10-15 years.
Qatar all the way. They'll put money where their mouth is and get shit done.
Why should United be the moral banner holder, while every club leaves us in the dust because of financial boosts from nations etc.?
If the Qataris don't take money out of the club, we'll do great because of our own finances and wouldn't need a sugardaddy. The vultures have been sucking us dry for the last 17 years and shackling us - we need to be set free Forrest Gump style.

Nah they are just trolls. Look at the spelling and grammar on those posts.
Exactly this. How can anyone prefer Radcliffe over Qatar is mad.
This high moral is boring, choose another thing to get on your high horse let my club go back where it belongs. At the very top.
Haha yep definitely
But the PR isnt there for winning the bid but the fanbase trust. The PR is for what comes after.
From what I read of that the debt stays the same, nothing about infrastructure or investment but noise about a 70 year old man being the long term British custodian and how Dan James should never have been sold
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
So the class of 92 are backing it?
"I am a local lad"
Where’s Kroenke from again?
You lot are a rare breed, you haven’t been british owned for years. You can’t afford the Neymars & they’d never have been interested.
Big fail to be talking about local bids to a global fanbase. The issue already divides us on a daily basis. You can't be talking about protecting traditions when the same release shows a level of tonedeafedness that shows you don't know what you're doing.
I'm also not surprised he resorted to it. He's just appealing to his sympathisers. For weeks we've been asking Pro-Ratcliffes why they push his name so hard and it almost always boiled down to being a local lad and having faith. Even after the news of needing loans to buy us.

Lovely idea that the Glazer would put the long term best interests of the club ahead of the most lucrative option but you know…
Not sure what you and the other person gain from being cnutish about posts like that? He's not asking you to feel the same way, or expression some moral superiority.
Nothing to do with it.
That Mikeluhg clown has 22k followers on it. Says it all. Football Twitter is a cesspit.
I'm sure I seen Dell technologies interested?
Yeah agreed, no such thing as an ethical multi billionaire.
Anyone praying for Ineos should Google about them and greenwashing. One FT article as well as going into this references “a relentless approach to keeping costs down” as their business model which, ethics aside, sounds shite.
We’ll have a choice between a dictatorship or a company contributing heavily to the climate disaster which is just as bad.
On a side note I see Ronay’s already done a hit piece saying Qatari ownership will destroy any progress we’ve made this season. That circle of ABU losers at the Guardian must be thrilled to have an angle of attack again since ETH made us a great side… they’ve been conspicuously silent on United matters the last few months.
fecking hell, I share the Earth with these people,
You make it seem like we've not spent an absolute fortune on utter shit. We are known for overpaying fees and wages. feck the Glazers they loaded the club with debt but United has always been a commercial entity, which Nice isn't.
What’s he been saying about the takeover actually? He for or against Qatar?
Barring the Human rights discussion I don't get the comparisons with City, Chelsea and PSG if Qatar get us
They were tiny pissant little clubs who used the wealth to massively accelerate growth, City potentially illegally
We are fecking huge already we've just got a dated stadium and training facilities, I wouldn't expect us to be spending on shiny players every window especially with ETH in charge just evolution of the squad and improvements to the facilities

And you are a prime example of what i was taking about, by the tone of your post. You'll likely be queuing up to defend a regime if they take over.
Brexit FC.
What people who say Qatar are just better at PR than Jimmy Rat don't understand is that this displays willingness to understand the fans and actually cater to their wishes.
On the other side, we have Ratcliffe coming up with no info on key aspects of the ownership that fans are keen to know about. It's just arrogance and presumes he should be winning because of his passport. What does that mean for his eventual running of the club? It just feels entitled.
It's basically a political campaign. One side has made the effort to sell their message, the other just feels entitled to the vote.
Of course, it's the number on the proverbial check that will make the Glazers' mind, so it's all a bit academic in the end.
You do realise that every football club is rooted in its locality? That’s the literal heart and soul of the club. So depressing how many fans don’t get this.
And in the long term when we have completely morphed into a circus like PSG? Will be tough luck, they will treat us as their plaything forever more and we are stuck with them for better or worse. At least if Ineos fail they will sell on.
That's not what im saying. The people who are responding to those who have issues with some of the problems with Qatar by saying "but look, the Glazers are naff people too".
