If we are talking Radcliffe, the way he approached things when Chelsea was for sale lead me to doubt the seriousness of any of his intentions. He seems to be fishing for his name being in the news, or hoping a group like Apple or other investors will see his “general interest” and ask him to be a part of something (like a 30% stake, etc).
He didnt technically have a Chelsea bid I don’t think. Saying to the press. You’d be willing to buy something or “pay x amount” for something is meaningless.
Thrre was a timeframe for purchase proposals to be submitted to the Raine group, and the proposals had to be detailed and include very specific plans and information. He did none of that to my knowledge.
Now, he may indeed want Manchester United. But if he does, he will need to be WAY more serious in his intent.
On he Saudi front….The US just released a notorious butcher and arms dealer in exchange for Britney Griner. Saudi Arabia was the one who brought the deal to us and help broker the situation with Putin. For all the kids who haven’t seen the godfather… the one who comes to you with the deal is the traitor. I still find it amusing the UK chased off a semi-retired rich guy, and are gladly allowing Putins ACTUAL, current Allies to purchase teams… while those allies are aiding Russia to move funds, hide funds, control energy prices, and even backfill munitions. Irony is fun.
