Mike Keegan also saying the same as the times!
Feels like a long time ago when people genuinely thought this'd get resolved by March 2023!
We'll never know the real truth, but bar the obvious, the Jassim bid seemed to be the one that could be the game changer.
Oh well.

There is no way for either of us to know exactly how it would have faired...
incompetence is a bit better for me than soullessness.
For each their own.
Custis in the mud. As usual.
Prepare yourself for another 10 years of Arnold like incompetent corporate men in charge, winning the occasional Carling Cup and fighting for top 4.
surely they do?
Update thread title!!
25% sales with vue to full control to be ratified next week!

In September 2020, Ratcliffe officially changed his tax residence from Hampshire to Monaco, a move that it is estimated will save him £4 billion in tax so he can instead put that into buying a new midfielder 
SJR autocorrects to this.. the caf mods have tuned rawkish..
I'll just enjoy it for now though.. Qatar getting outbid is glorious.
The club is dead and has been for sometime. Greedy parasites.
Oh no! How will we survive!
My issue is with the "is viewed", it's not definitive but projective. I don't think fans ought to be disappointed I reckon the club can go a long way with a proper DOF and investment which Jim has stated, the issue is the view to him becoming a full owner it's very subjective
You’re getting too excited. In none of these tweets does it say it’s part of this deal. That should alarm you
This club won’t reach the top again for least another decade. Isn’t Sir Jim’s French side (Nice?) utterly wank and his ownership?
Should only take a year or two for majority control surely.
100% control might take 5+ years but that's really not that important. Once he has majority control asap that's all that matters.
Bring Dave Brailsford and his dodgy drugs. At least the team will have more energy.
He's just a stooge for the parasites. And he wont be around long enough to even get full ownership.
Arnold like? Glazers are staying as owners. So not Arnold like. Arnold is here to stay. Along with Murtough.
Jassim was game changer. Glazers or Ineos.....are the same shit.
Don't get me wrong I'm gutted, but I do think there would be an element of short term gratifcation and long term regret if we ended up been owned by Qatar,.
I mean just look at how much contempt and lack of respect anyone shows for City, and soon to be Newcastle, whether we generate the money fairly or not we'd always be doing mental gymnastics to jusfiy ourselves.

We wont need to worry about justifying success now because we wont be having any.
This. Only the Glazers will benefit
Soul destroying.
It’s hard to know what to believe but if it’s true that the Qatar bid was 5bn and it’s true that 25% is being sold for 1.3m that seems to value the whole thing at 5.2bn.
Ultimately I think it came down to giving the glazers what they want which is to eat their cake and have it. Get some cash and then still stay in.
I genuinely hope Sir Jim’s future takeover isn’t a smoke screen but I’m not optimistic.
I also hope his 25% stake can give him enough leverage to start making some changes around here starting with those above the manager.

kinda ironic.
In simple. What authority will the Rat have. Can he employe new DoF and board memebers and will we have money for transfers.
So are the Glazers and Sir Jim going to walk onto the pitch before a game, hand in hand to get the adulation from the crowd.
We will know for sure if he goes and invests that £8 Billion into Spurs or West Ham.
I think jassim would've brought in his own guys to run the club or if not he would've got the right guys in. He wouldn't settle for the likes of fletcher, Arnold, murtough fecking things up. There's also the fact jassim would've cleared the debt improved facilities etc
Ratty Ratcliffe will just be another glazer yes man to add to the list while OT and the club will continue to crumble.
By the time Ratcliff gets full control in the next 3-5 years, he will be nearly 80 years old! WTH are we going to see change?
Agree.
We all wanted a full sale, but if The Glazers didn't want to play ball, it is what it is.
Far better to have some light at the end of the tunnel and see them losing control of the club, than them being in control indefinitely.
I had fun last season???
I’m officially done with this club. Unfollowed the club on Twitter, deleted the United app and won’t be going to Old Trafford this season at least.
Definitely not in our lifetime.
Didn't somebody say he invested after they were successful. Not sure they are succesful now.
Gone is any chance of repairing all the damage and lack of investment the club has had the last 15 years. Stadium will still be crumbling, Carington will still be way behind the times.
RIP those negotiators who were told to not return to Qatar before finalizing the deal ..
