"Hate" is a strong word but Gary Neville isn't a fan.
I haven’t read this thread today and will assume there haven’t been any developments whatsoever but can I just say, despite everything I’ve said in the past, that I don’t find it in any way weird that we’ll eventually be owned by the guy who seems to have made it his life’s mission to invent a jeep that can be power washed inside and out.
Be interesting to see if there's any public statement from INEOs in the next few days.
Part of me is glad we won't be another star funded sports washing club, yet the other part is angry that the Glazers will still be there at the helm for a while longer.

I wonder if the Glazers are going this way in the hope that within the next few years the Super Leage becomes a reality and they can cash in big time?
Or maybe they'd look to agree a fee then hope the value of the club falls so they can make that money due to a pre agreed fee? Unless Jimmy inserts a clause where if the value increases the fee stays the same but if it decreases then the money owed goes down too? I've no idea

Lets just hope that there is another bidder in the process we have not heard about
How is that in any way utter tripe?
Oh for god sake
Why would we have defended it if they were the owners? I'll take their money but wont defend them for shit.
I really don't want to get into a discussion about this because this is not the time or place for it.
I'll just say this, for you it's terrorism for others it's a struggle for freedom. The PL took the right approach in staying on the fence.
The US is a whole different story as they are directly involved in this situation. It's like praising the Iranian league for supporting Palestine.
Anyway, this is about the Glazers and how we will never achieve anything noteworthy under them. I hope INEOS do a full takeover because leaving these leeches in charge is a death sentence for us as a big club.
I didn't care who bought us, I just wanted them gone...
Everyone thinks that when there team.
Barcelona were ridiculously dominant 10 years ago. These exact things were said about them. Pep left, they had inconsistencies, some other great years, and then a mini collapse. Real Madrid go through cycles. Man City are top currently cause of Pep. He will leave just like Sir Alex left us. They aren't top and dominant cause of their billions. Of course they wouldn't have pep without it, but Pep is the one who if they lose, they go back to normal.
United has continuously spent about as much as anyone else for years now. If they had a leadership who knew how to spend the money, we'd be right up there too. That holds true to this day. Arsenal have turned into a top team and operate on much lower funds. They have learned how to buy smart, sell smart, and build properly. Fair play to them. I hope United learns to do that. Because we have the size, finance and pulling power to far surpass anybody else if we learn to function as a smart club. With or without being oil back.
On the other note, it'll be quite a thing for a new owner (or minority holder due to become owner) be despised as much as the Glazers before even taking control due to how he pretty much hopped into bed with them
Finally, someone has given the Glazers the financial security to become the freewheeling football club owners they’ve always dreamed of being. Watch these eagles soar, boys.
Superb..:
You must mean that new 3D paint?
Maybe Jassim isn’t real after all.
and you’re so certain because?
How would Romano know? He isnt involved in the negotiations and those that are cant legally release any info due to the strict NDA's they had to sign.
It's an inevitable part of what happens. Look at Newcastle. Plenty of their fans will ignore it, defend it, argue against protestors for them, etc. This is how it works when a state buys a club. I give you nice things and you turn a blind eye to the atrocities I do
At least we had the good times hey? Feel sorry for younger fans who never saw us in our pomp. Can't see us winning a title again in my lifetime.
If you withdraw why would you care about the NDAs?
Well the club is officially dead and buried now. We will become (or stay) in mid table mediocrity.
Like it or not the only way back to success and to balance/rebuild this club as a whole was somebody with a feck ton of money.

Wanting to co-own the club with the glazers is a red flag unto itself. Not even as a temporary arrangement. You know how they got the club to this point, you know it's problematic to provide liquid funds for their awful wealth draining management. It needs to be full sale or we might as well just wait for the glazers to hit rock rock bottom in another year.
Meanwhile Ratcliffe is facilitating Goldman Sachs sending about $1.2bn directly into the Glazers pockets for a structured purchase that he wont be around to see the end of.
Dude, seriously... I've tried to justify things in the past, but with how everyone is reporting this, it's a brief from either Qatar themselves or from United.
Time to accept the unholy alliance of Glazer/Ratman
No one knows for sure. No matter what people on here say.
My guess, that this is a way to satisfy potential legal issues that minority shareholders may bring.
https://www.express.co.uk/sport/foo...takeover-Sir-Jim-Ratcliffe-Sheikh-Jassim-news
It was reported that Jim wanted to just buy the Glazer 69% at first, but the minority shareholders and speculators didn't want that, given that their stakes would plummet.
The fact he was bidding 69% would indicate that he has the $ and the desire to take control.
Qatar have more invested in the UK than the UK government itself haha they aren't sanctioning a damn thing.
Because they are still legally binding
Cheers. I've got the safe room to keep me safe from rockets... Most of the time anyway.
He offered double the valuation of the club along with investment on top, he certainly wasn't a bluffer.
Jim and the lads will have so much to talk about next time they all go to the make believe pub.
Can't believe the worst case scenario actually materializes 
Oh United. Never change.
Oh United. Never change.The tweet: Sheikh Jassim’s team decline to comment on this news citing “confidentiality restrictions”, but have confirmed they’ve withdrawn from the process.
Obviously they can confirm that they're out without breaking NDA.
Much like you, I hope we end up being bought by INEOS. Which is what I always wished for.
Not sure it's happening, though.
Could it be the Sheikh playing games and he'll come back in?
