Which tweet was that?
Arnold knows his head's probably on the chopping block regardless of who comes in
Please dont ban me for this...... :
(Verse 1) Yo, listen up, I got a tale to tell,
About Manchester United and two owners so swell,
In a life-or-death game, the stakes are high,
Gotta pick between Radcliffe and Sheik Jassim, oh my!
(Chorus) Radcliffe, a titan with a treasure chest of gold,
Financial stability, his story's often told,
Sheik Jassim, from Qatar's royal clan,
Experience in sports, a part of his grand plan.
(Verse 2) Radcliffe's got the cash,
he's a business tycoon, Ineos founder,
he'll make United swoon,
But Sheik Jassim, he's got that royal touch,
Qatar's involvement, it might mean so much!
(Chorus) Radcliffe's got the wealth, a mountain of dough,
Sheik Jassim, a sports master, don't you know,
Both have their merits, it's a tough call to make,
Who'll lead United to glory, for goodness sake?
(Bridge) In this rap game, decisions ain't easy,
Analyzing the options, it can make you queasy,
But remember, my friend, it's more than just the dough,
The club's values and vision, let that knowledge flow.
(Verse 3) So, as I wrap up this rhyme, here's the final say,
Choosing the better owner, it's not child's play,
Consider the facts, but keep an open mind,
For United's future, the right choice we must find!
(Chorus) Radcliffe or Sheik Jassim, who'll take the lead,
United's destiny, their actions will feed,
In this rap battle of ownership might,
Let's hope for a decision that makes everything right!
please don't ban me.

What in the RAWK is this?
The preferred bidder story.
If you want the oil / gas money then just say it. Don't hide behind this BS argument. Jim and INEOS have to operate in a highly regulated system and to a code of ethics. Qatar can do whatever they choose to.
He's not wrong, there''s nothign official yet.
Most insightful post in this thread. Make of that what you will.
Please ban him for this
It’s better management of club needed, not more cash according to those figures.
Ahh okay. They're still running it on their site though
Fairwell brave Redcafe soldier
What reports?
So I've just checked my email and National Lottery have told me to check my account. Not one to jump to conclusions I am ready to prematurely conclude I have won big and presumably, it's in the region of £20billion (that's the midweek jackpot I think).
So I'm putting a bid in. For those concerned, let me reassure you that I have some sunflower oil in the cupboard, about 400ml left. For the local club for local people, I work in Rochdale and am a global leader in sports. I also once took Cheltenham Town to the Premier League on Championship Manager.
Clearly the perfect candidate. I'm willing to buy out 5 Glazers and keep Darcie.
Thank you for your support.

Edit
The above is on hold. Was a free lucky dip and not £20billion. I plan to appeal this farce but feel confident it will be resolved by Saturday, probably at 10pm.

The Sun's story or has there been another tweet/source saying the same since I checked the thread at 6am?
Congratulations! The sun is already running a story about you being preferred bidder.
Enjoy your exclusivity period, the hard work starts after that!
D’oh! Seems we have found Zilliacus’ Caf account.
Riveting stuff. That something Jackson may not be considering is the obvious possibility that Joel and Avram want to stay on in a minority role, which the Qatari state backed bid would not address.
Yeah there is so much guessing still going on
Not really. We need 2 strikers as Martial isn't good enough. So assuming money isn't a thing for the owners, they may want it.
Not saying that's going to happen but isn't a "clueless" thing as you portray
Yeah Ratcliffe doesn't strike me as ruthless enough when you look at how much of a reboot this club needs in the boardroom and on pitch
I wonder; if you were super rich, big United fan and you become an owner; how would you stop yourself from buying/selling players on your own?
No way that i could stay away from transfers.

You not into the Mitchell rumours? Seems a decent place to start to me.
Probably watch the pennies and take an overview - trust those you hire to do their job the way you want it done.
I’m not sure I trust the City numbers but no argument that we have squandered huge sums of money. No overarching strategy and a tendency towards reactive buys when top 4 is at risk.
The point not disclosed by those figures is capital expenditure on infrastructure upgrades. In the last 18 years, United’s has been limited to paying someone to fix the leak in the roof. We badly need to catch up in that area as well as the playing side.
Sure, Ramos will pick a club as his next destination that's just signed Harry Kane.
Yeah, striker who is wanted around Europe, will choose to be a sub for Harry Kane next few years.
The Sun
Yeah that's my fear as well but agree with those who say it's not Ratcliffe's fault if Jassim isn't willing to bid high enough for the club
This is such a funny post because you replied with so much vim, and all your post shows is how shit things are for these clubs under INEOS
I Don't even need to watch the podcast to know he went up to promote himself and probably got asked about the Sun story.And we will spend 80 million on a 2nd striker.
Shares trading at lowest price since end of November
Keegan has gone awfully quiet

No, not really. The two clubs haven't improved, but they aren't worse off either. And I'm tired of this "Ratcliffe got Lausanne relegated" and similar stuff.
I have no clue how anyone would think those City numbers are real in making any argument. That is beyond me. They are cheats.
there cant be any leaks because of implications on NYSE stock market rules. There's going to be transactions no matter who wins the bid. This is not like buying or selling players. No one has a clue except there are negotiations on-going between all parties.
