I'd take that too. But not sure if other people have the stomach for that.

Given some of the takes in the last few minutes, you single this one out?
And being owned by a nation state with a laundry list of human rights atrocities and murder by proxy in the name of hosting a football tournament is perfectly acceptable?
Get a grip.
I’m 100% Glazers out. I’m not happy about the 20% shares they may have after it. But the Qatar bid seems incredibly dodgy for the last couple of weeks.
How the feck is Qatar going to go out and sign Mbappe etc when he can’t even out bid a Brexit pensioner who lives in France?
The moralising about people's positions on this when the option you're in support of is a sportswashing exercise is staggeringly hilarious.
No it isn’t. You’re only saying this because it’s what you want to happen. Bloody hell. Not everything has an underlying agenda
Seriously both pro Qatar or Pro Ineos camps need to chill out ,as long as Glazers are out take the win .
There’s genuinely no saving this club going forward with Ratcliffe.
Hasnt even bought the club yet and the eulogies are out.
Yup, here we have Saint Top Red being his usual self.
You’d take relegation rather than have Joel and Avram keep a minority 20% stake which gives them zero say in the running of the club and will be sold later down the line? Sweet Jesus.
That's if Qatar is actually in it.
Think you’ve missed something here mate.
If you really intended to plow the huge amounts in to the club that the Qataris supposedly would if successful, I don't think you'd be getting outbid in the way that's being suggested. So I'm inclined to think either it is not true that the offer is low, or that the bid was never actually what it was made out to be.
Well, it's a Brexit pensioner who's the richest man in the UK but yeah that Mbappe and Mullin post is nonsensical hyperbole.
People aren’t just worried about the Glazers staying on even if it’s in a very limited capacity. The real concern is the fact Brexit Jim and INEOS have shown feck all with their current clubs that they’ve got what it takes to run Utd in a competent and successful manner. Now before people chime in with ‘They won’t run Utd the same as Nice or Lausanne’ that maybe the case and let’s all pray it is but we can only go off current evidence and their first two ventures into football leave a lot to be desired.
People like you seem clueless
They have committed to not only a 5B bid but to also spend money of the stadium and to clear the debts so whilst those 2 numbers aren’t known we can get a figure of around 2B easily so that’s a 7B commitment
Meanwhile ‘Sir Dickface’ can’t afford the club so is offering to buy 69% on borrowed money keeping the American leaches involved with the club and making no commitments what so ever
To say the Qatari’s aren’t paying up is fecking nonsense they’ll commit more to this club with that bid than Jim will in about 10 years
Jeez. It's a bit hysterical in here! Surely we are in a better position than out current state in either case? And right now we have no idea of how involved/influential the Glazers would be in SJR's plans.
This time last August this forum was bending over for Sir Jim.

I see it this way, Qatar would've been a mental cheating code and fans would've got bored. With SJ, we'll get investment and stadium renovations. With the right structure in place we can rule Manchester. Again.
Once again, welcome Sir Jim of Failsworth and Moston.

How so more debt to the club?
It won't be coming from United's budget like it currently is, it will be debt serviced and put up by INEOs, nothing to do with the club.
INEOs will be buying out the Glazers shares, that was the original plan, the only way I can see the Glazers staying is if INEOs/SJR allows the Glazers to have shares either as a minority stake or they can buy back a percentage as an investment.
Quite why people would riot over this option is anyone's guess!?
I’m not bothered either way but is green washing suddenly ok now?
Both sides are doing mental gymnastics to push their own ideas, thread is full of it.
Today, we all feel feck the Glazers.
As long as they have zero input, are relegated to after thoughts, it's all gravy. I've never looked but I wouldn't be surprised if some rather unlikeable characters owned part of the 31% of the club so as far as I am concerned, the Glazers would just become the same as those absolute cnuts.
I’m ignoring the really disgusting posts, they speak for themselves and will be dealt with by mods. They never last long on here
Qatar also promised it was a private bid, they didn't even match the offer made by INEOS to buy the club so I'm not sure why I'd take their promises about their plans to invest that seriously. The reason United haven't been successful over the last decade is because they've been incompetent, if you spend fortunes on rubbish like Maguire and appoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as your manager then you deserve to win dick, there's no indication that INEOS are particularly competent but then there hasn't been a ton of evidence that the Qataris are either. INEOS taking over doesn't mean that the club can't be successful, they will just have to be smart and actually earn it.
Yeah but I'd drive him around in style. Music blasting. Rollin rollin rollin.
Maybe if Jim can hoodwink elite teams the way he has hoodwinked this, we can do things
I mean it’s not like PSG are very well run either. They just spend a silly amount of money. Is that the only way to be competent?
You do realise the whole green washing thing applies to Qatar too right?
The club needs the Glazers to be wiped clean from board completely. Now or never. If this INEOS deal goes through, we will never be free from the Glazers. 18 years at our club and what do they have to show?
Because people in here are convincing themselves of the worst and acting as though it's true.
INEOS or Qatar in means Glazers gone.
We all agree Woodward has.gone right yet he still has his fair load of shares, Glazers would be the same (Joel and Avi)
Their control would be done and I don't think we would see them again.
Lot of people in this thread who misuse the term greenwashing.
Maybe it was a private bid after all?
And what about if they want you to stop wishing death on pensioners?
They won't have any power, annoying that they stick around though
its actually mental if true. They get to stay on as a free ride while other people pump money into the club. Just mental
INEOS bid might value the club more, but that’s because it’s not offering to buy the entire club.
Jassim bid is for the entire club.
So it’s like me offering you £1m to buy your house and someone else offering you £550k for 50%
