Ratcliffe is that person in netball that just tees the other player for the serve. Bridesmaid.

Glazers. You can hate them but they are managing to squeeze every single million that they can.
This feels like an episode of The Wire somehow. "Tell your mans price of the brick has gone up"
Which is why we hate them
My personal opinion is they're just using the ENEOS bid to yank the Qatari's chain and milk them for what it's worth. And in a worst case it blows up in their face, they still have the ENEOS bid which values their shares higher, albeit in instalments rather than up front.
The next tweet will almost certainly invoke such a response.
I'm incredibly lazy and I refuse to read through twenty new pages of shite. What has changed since yesterday?
Other than the date? Not a lot, maybe swung towards Qatar bid a bit with news that the Glazers have asked PSG owner to get SJ to up his bid and that today isn't actually a real deadline
United to become PSG feeder club confirmed
Shock, horror, right. All the financial gurus out here explaining to us how Jimmy's offer for a couple pennies more in 5 years is so much better than the sell-and-forget money from Qatar.
Thank you for the info, and also for enduring this thread so I don't have to.
Imagine Michael Scott is Nasser and the old man is Ratcliffe
Jimmy's boys are taking a pounding!
This is what I find infuriating about all the "reporting" over this. Some want to paint a picture where the Glazers don't take Jassim seriously and have been busy working out details with Radcliffe, and others are trying to paint the picture that they are just holding out for that magic number from Jassim. It's impossible to pick anything near the truth out of this mess as they simply haven't released any actual information.
In some way, shame that both Ineos and Qatari are in this deal. Ineos became perfect plan B for Glazers while Jassim is their plan A.
Now they have plan B done and using it to milk money from plan A.
And after Jassim made two "final" offers after deadline i bet that Glazers are thinking; "They will offer again"
Imagine Michael Scott is Nasser and the old man is Ratcliffe
That's really not what the Ornstein article says or even implies, but who else would read imaginary stuff into it if not you...is the English media suddenly something you trust? I thought they were clueless!
I know you guys really needed this but didn't think you'd go as low as simping for Nasser
Jimmy's boys are taking a pounding!
Honestly the pendulum just swung from 60/40 in SJR favour to 65/35 in SJ and Qatar favour, I think a 5th bid is more like an adjusted bid of probably £5.4/5.5bn now.
United becoming a vehicle for sportswashing, while the leeches probably get out of running us to the ground with an absurd truckload of money. Not going to lie, breaks my United heart in several different ways.
Cheer up
You can still see how Jim does with Nice next season I'm sure they'll put up a massive fight for a top half finish. Might even sign Walcott and Welbeck this summer!
If Nasser does his job, i am buying his shirt.
They released Barkley, plenty of wage budget available for a big swoop for Phil Jones now.
What
The Athletic article literally only states that at one point these last few months, the Glazers had contacted Al-Khelaifi to see if he can persuide Jassim into increasing his offer.
Guess what, his 5th bid is still lower than Ratcliffe's 3rd one from late April.
Feel like pure shit just want Fergie back x
Mate give it 10 years and a lot of the clubs will be sportswashing playthings.
You seem like you're in denial here. Read between the lines.What

Interesting that all of this dropped before INEOS' usual Friday brief. Pre-emptive strike.
We've learned that this long drawn out process has been all about the Glazers squeezing every penny they possibly can out of Qatar
You really don't get it do you? The people who wanted INEOS did so because they don't want human rights abusing murderers owning United where everything we will do will be stained.
Enjoy the stench

Least we have a bit of moral fibre though.
Are you labeling yourself a Qatar poster? That's weird.
Best news to me. Would be so happy if Qatar takes over and would be delighted if PSG owner is involved. Just shows they are pretty serious about this.
doesn't mean I can't be disgusted by it and doesn't mean I want "my" club to become one today.
So to me now it seems clear that Qatar haven't been raising their bid by much each time as they probably think they are only bidding against themselves.
They probably don't consider Ratcliffe relevant if the Glazers are practically begging them to up their offer.

I’m struggling to see what exactly camp Jaz are so excited over? Everyone is reporting INEOS are the clear favourites.
Depressing. Both the very idea of it and that you are probably right.
What have I missed? Are Qatar winning the race all of a sudden?
