Yes, this is what I suspect.
Club Sale | It’s done!

Well if we ever get to a Cup Final the Glazer fans can go over and kiss the TV when Joel or Avram's ugly mugs appear. That will be the only time we will see them like now, the will let Jim Ratcliffe be the face if the organisation and let him take all the shots.
Well, the club is dead. Midtable and eventually relegation probably in 7-8 years
It will. There is no benefit for Ineos to be minority shareholders. He wants control and this minority stake is a stepping stone.
Nothing surprises me with you. Who cares about the club being an absolute joke and not winning anything of note eh? All good times.
They also very rarely do they come to Old Trafford
I go to Utd every week (or have done bar this season). The soul exists. Couldn't give a shit aboiut a shiny new stadium, those things are a bonus.
You think we're soulless cos we arent winning.
Nooooooooooooooo. Season is going from bad to worse.
Now we'll never get to see this come to fruition.
@Wumminator getting cooked is the only positive here 
I’m pretty happy with this news. But won’t gloat. I understand why a lot of you wanted this to happen. It is hard to look beyond guaranteed riches.
The club was the third best team in the country last year and was one of only two teams to win a trophy.
That’s genuinely a good time. Had some great days out with my mates. Atmosphere was great as well.
No you haven't, you essentially released weekly newsletters about how depressed you were under Mourinho.
When has a manager actually ever done this? And Ten Hag hardly has the CV for it to be the end of the world - as a matter of fact, he'd be nuking his career because which serious club will go after a manager - that hasn't won much - and "walks away" from jobs?
Nope Qatar are done, they won't be back this time. Maybe in the future.
Thanks! I'd never heard of him before. He certainly is confident in his source, if it's all true then I'd be fully on board with the Ineos bid.
I'm a fan of 45 years. I'm out.
We’re absolutely fecked now. Ratcliffe is just a British glazer, club will be raked over the coals forever more.
@Wumminator getting cooked is the only positive here
There are a bunch of posters letting themselves down and embarrassing themselves. I literally just want the best for the club now. Let’s hope all the real fans of the club get behind new owners!
Would prefer that to a part purchase. Just prolongs the agony. Hopefully now hes the sole bidder he attempts a full purchase.
I'll be happy with that. So praying it happens soon.
Jesus Christ. How can we be a year into this process and you still don't get the difference between class A and class B shares.
Even if the value goes up who the feck will ever buy us if oil money isn’t on the table?
^^^^^^^^
I am not familiar with what he said...do we know if they're talking about a binding agreement to buy the whole club in a few years, or has Jimmy Boy just compromised all the way?
That would be fine, it is what his plans are. Is he just going to laud it in the directors box and let everything else disintergrate round him, or is he going to invest in the infrastructure, the academy, the women's team. That is what he hasn't really made clear. All he has said is he going to put Manchester back into Manchester United. I never knew we had lost the Manchester part in the first place.
He is 70. He will die eventually. Once Ineos get control, im sure there will be a succession plan.
Why now? Before this time last year we never saw any hope of glazers selling up.
Nah I don't think so. What may happen is they'll continue to string along Jim for a while until he withdraws too. Then they'll take on investment from one of the American funds. Like Liverpool just did.
We don’t want the Glazer’s to stay but this shiek was a bluffer. If he really had a the backing of Qatar we’d be in their hands by now.
End of the day if you can’t get the deal done it’s obvious maybe their plan wasn’t all that great. I heard zero in terms of their plan for the club it was all just “yeah we are gonna maybe bring this legend back”.
He didn’t even come to the day when people could look round the stadium.
Jim did and has a track record in sport. I do feels INEOS could do bits with a large club like United. They would have very good people behind the scenes for one. That’s a given with their resources and contacts in sport.

Who's cooking him? Unless you consider someone petulantly calling him a cnut "cooking".@Wumminator getting cooked is the only positive here
Devastating news for people who've degraded themselves as apologists for Qatar for the last year
What memories?
To be fair, INEOS aren't going to become new owners, it will still be the Glazers for the foreseeable
At least we’ll get Jim Radcliffe in for matches for when he makes the trips out of his home in Monaco
What new owners? The only serious bid we had for new ownership has pulled out?
