Erm, what?
Hopefully Ratcliffe fecks off too with his minority bid. I'd rather the club end up in lower divisions for a fresh restart than keeping the Glazers onboard
If Ratcliffe wants the club he’s not going to sign a deal where he only has 25% and then the Glazers in a few years refuse to sell the rest, it will be legally binding. That is if he does want 100%.
I know some people will rejoice, but I don't want the Glazer family to stay in any capacity and I cannot see Sir Jim having the kind of staggered buy out people expect let alone any real input.
Same old shit incompetence to remain.

You very well know they have, or they wouldn't have rejected Qatar's bid. It's just a matter of time before it's made official. Or do you suggest they will also reject Rаtсliffe and end up not selling anything? Could be, but I doubt it. They will make 1.5 billion and not have to give anything away. It's the perfect deal.
I share the same feeling. If Jim fully buys out the club then I can go with it, but I can't get on-board with the Glazers keeping full control.
Right. I have to report this ffs.
SJ has offered $7 billion to the Glazers which is £5.8 billion plus the debt £1 billion plus another £1.25 billion in investments in stadiums, squad etc plus then buying the 31% class A shares. Let that sink in and they’ve said no !!!!
He should walk away buy another club and embarrass united again, Sir Jim needs to make money available immediately and explain why he’s potentially fecked a club he’s suppose to support. The Glazers now must realise they really can’t step foot in old Trafford ever again, the hatred will be intense on a whole new level !

I hope we get an official announcement on Monday confirming the INEOS agreement at least. Cannot take any more of this shite. Praying that there is some kind of binding agreement for them to buy the whole thing within a few years, but seriously doubt it based on the wording in the Bloomberg article. Will be interesting to see how they justify rejecting Jassim's offer otherwise, because the funds and other Class A shareholders would have all gotten a massive premium now.
I’ll be honest I’m not really invested in the club if the Glazers are staying
Arguably the best thing the glazers have done, not selling to Qatar
Pray for @Rood
My conflict as well. I didnt want to be owned by them but it's hit me different that I anticipated because reality has set in we are still owned by the Glazers.
Great news
Why? What has changed for you?
Ah, the old strawman appears. I certainly didn’t say this. . .
What do Ineos owe their riches to?
People happy with this news must have loved the last 10 years because there is a lot of more of that to come.
Let's all celebrate!

Jim isn’t putting up any money without a pathway to owning majority shares and having some input on where his money will be spent. He doesn’t need United as an investment and he certainly isn’t here for a passive investor status.
Tonight is the first time ever to wish relegation on this club. The sooner we go down the better
I have loved the last ten years yes! Some brilliant memories.
Wise from Jassim, very wise.
The process has long been an obvious farce and he’s smart to leave the Glazers and Ratcliffe to manage the convoluted shambles they’ve created.
I feel this will be a watershed moment for Utd as a club - one that is referred back to very often, much like the Moyes appointment, but far bigger.
For the Utd fans that didn’t want Jassim, they got exactly what they wanted and now we all see how that pans out.
Have a feeling things are gonna get VERY Rocky for the Glazers from here on!
Popcorn at the ready!

I wanted a full sale and didn't really care who buys us.
This is the worst case scenario as it gives the Glazers the investment they need and keeps them in control. This takeover was my light at the end of the tunnel but this really is the final nail in the coffin for us as a top club.

It’s utterly mind boggling
Forgive me about not crying about United not being owned by Qatar or any Qatari entity, especially now.
There are tons of Israeli United supporters angry at the club over the weak - PL driven - response to the mass killing by Hamas and talk about walking away fro United. A Qatari ownership would be the final nail for them.

Radcliffe minority and the leeches hanging on incoming the worst of both worlds
Oh yeah, there's no other reason. We've just loved the last 10 years.
Well that moves things forward a bit. I'd prefer a full takeover but I just want what ever is going to happen to happen and then we can see where we are going.
I'm not going to lie, I wanted Qatar but in the end I just want things to be settled one way or another as its all out of our control anyway

Casemiro got injured playing for Brazil.
Years of Glazer miss management and disrespect of the fans. I’ll happily continue if they leave and sell to Ineos.
I bit unfair to say. Even the uber rich have a price.
5billion was already a stretch for a football club in debt.
But it is strange that they were not willing to bend a little and allow Avram and Joel to stay as minority shareholders, if that is what we believe that want.
Ah right, so you guys believe they should just pay whatever ridiculous valuation the Glazers have, "if they want it" - despite the fact that their bid was already way above what the club is actually worth. Fair enough
whats going to be different?
As if they care about a few boos.
Yeah. He is coming for his slice of the dividend, nothing else. Another old greedy parasite.
What's needed is an empty stadium on match days, protests causing the closure of the merch shop, boycott everything United, basically shut it down.
But that's never happening so we suck it up and hope a miracle happens.
Or maybe this is all a ploy to force the Glazers to make a final decision.....
Paying out dividend cash to yank inbreds is not about a Manchester club keeping its soul.
United is completely soulless and has been since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. It's an American mega-corporation masquerading as a football club that lacks any direction or personality and focuses on flashy signings rather than on-field results to appease shareholders. Unless you think a club that doesn't invest in its iconic stadium, academy or training ground is a soulful club. The United of old is dead and has been for a very long time.
Why would they care about his intention to clear the debt and invest in the team/infrastructure?
You wouldn’t list a car for sale for £4500 and when a buyer turns up and outlays his plans to fit a new spoiler, leather seats and new alloys, then go ahead and take less than you were originally looking for.
Could have done with more of that in 2005.
Too early to say that. Some reports it's 25% now with guarantees INEOs take majority control by a certain date.
That deal would be acceptable
