Dubai fanboys in the mud
What he said about ChelseaSo what would an ownership under Jim look like? Stadium, team wise etc?
"We're not interested in making money out of Chelsea. The investment in Chelsea is a long-term thing.
"Can we run that club really, really well and turn it into one of the finest clubs in Europe? That's our ambition with Chelsea."
Ratcliffe would be an amazing owner but I just don't think he can afford us. Would take him over anyone else of course if money wasn't such an issue.
So we can expect a Dutch bidder to win the race to buy us at the last second?
No but hes got better morals.
Chelsea weren't bought by a ME nation and look at them...'Preparing a bid'. He already has the United transfer policy down
I don't know if this is good or what I want to be honest. It's annoying that unless we get taken by some ME nation, we aren't in the same financial league (in terms of potential investment) as our rivals
GerronwivitHis pro Brexit, pro fracking opinions say otherwise. But I guess you said better morals rather than decent morals.
Nice timing after the mini scandal thing yesterday
Go on Jim
This is what I’m thinking. Now the first have gone public, I expect others to start going publicStrap in boys, it’s going to be a hectic few weeks/months!
What is ineos worth?
No doubt this will be the first of many different bidders to come out with their interest.
What is ineos worth?
He has already back tracked in this. Looks like the Qataris very well might be getting Liverpool
If INEOS or Dubai were t buy us them being multiple times poorer than the Saudis or Abu Dhabi wouldn't matter because the competition for transfers and amenities would never reach levels where such a difference matters. It just depends on what their plan is and their ability to identify and attract managerial talent at executive level.INEOS (annual revenues of £65bn) would presumably purchase the club, rather than him personally. Worth noting though that Ratcliffe's personal net worth (£21.05bn) is around three times that of Ambramovic and around five times that of Todd Boehly, for example.
True. A debt free United can compete with most without investment anyway.If INEOS or Dubai were t buy us them being multiple times poorer than the Saudis or Abu Dhabi wouldn't matter because the competition for transfers and amenities would never reach levels where such a difference matters.

Where did he backtrack? All I see is that QSI themselves are ruled out, but that doesn't necessarily mean that QIA won't be involved. However, if QSI isn't involved, then I wouldn't expect QIA themselves to be heavily involved at this stage.He has already back tracked in this.

that will trigger a few on here
Pretty sure he broke it in the first place!The floodgates will open now. Good stuff.
Ben Jacobs knows next to nothing on this or other matters.

agreed, so long has the club is run well and financed well and OT is updated, bring on who ever.Im a Max fan not Lewis but I'm all for new United Ownership. Hell if Toto wants a change in scenery he can be our CEO.
The more people who care about sports the better b
Of course.United have been competing with everyone with debt. United don't need a sugar daddy to be highly competitive and they don't need to be debt free either and the same applies to Real Madrid.

Yeah that's true, I'd imagine next summer would be the only season where we need overstretch our transfer spending because we need a midfielder and striker plus possibly a couple more signings for depth but after that we can get by spending £80m - £120m per season. We just need to push the boat out next season and trust the young core emerging under Erik Ten Hag - Martinez, Antony, Rashford, Dalot and Garnacho.True.
