Jim has little interest in United as a football club imo. Wants the prestige and hence he was ready to go to hed with the devil. We will continue like we have under the Glazers, dont do the necessary investment and most likely have even more issues in our ownership structure
Club Sale | It’s done!

Which could mean that Jim'll plow enough cash into United to make it work. Here's hoping anyway.
Newcastle successful. 1927 last league title, 1955 last fa cup, zero European success, haven’t even had a charity while for 114 years. What are you smoking?
Think his point was more they care about success
I wish his disciples could see that too
I would hope that the 4 minor Glazers stand down next week
You've just described Sheikh Jassim.
As you say the devil is in the details, I await the full plan ahead before casting any judgement
I would urge both camps Despondent and disappointed supporters who wanted Qatar and Elated Sir Ratcliffe Supporters to step back and wait for actual details of the this deal to come out before losing their shit or pop up the champagne .
Just keep an open mind if the actual details are similar to what's being reported then it's actually a good deal as the end game was to get rid of Glazer's but if it's any thing else then Glazers have played a blinder and taken Micky out of Ratcliffe but I highly doubt that would be the case .
I am more than certain Ratcliffe team must have iron clad clauses to get majority control eventually .

Quality control
Put your cards on the table rat and quit hiding behind NDA's now you have won the race
The glazers don’t want to sell because they believe it will be worth more in so many years. That’s why. This isn’t a footballing project for them and never has been, it’s exactly the same as when fergie left it. It’s literally falling apart at the seems. 0 has changed except we have got further away and allowed every other fecker to catch us up. Jassim understood the assignment. Feck off out of the club and let me sort your mess. 1.5billion in investment pledged. That’s a state of the art stadium outright. What’s SJR going to do with his 25%? Wait another 3 years to own 50%? Then what? What’s he going to do with 50% wait another 3 years for another 25? Then what? Honestly what’s he going to do to bring this club back from the brink? Put Manchester back into it? What does that mean? Is he going to get stone roses to perform at old Trafford while sporting a bowl cut? Or blast happy Mondays pre-match while shaking a merraca? What is that? How does putting Manchester back into the club show his ambition? Pledge investment into a new stadium, training facilities, players. Then we’ll listen.
City will have another 6 PL titles and 2 champions leagues by that point.
what’s happening at this club is a farce. A disgrace and these owners should never of been allowed to get their hands on this club with their leveraged buy out in the first place. So yeah he can feck off with his dance with the glazers.
Yes but I can see it now he will want to show some semblence of ambition and they will just say nah ratty it's all about the top 4
Excellent post. All I can add is great to see the back of Quatari bidder. Hopefully it’s true. Hopefully this leads to a bright future for the club. Hopefully.
If the deal would include clauses for majority ownership on future date then those details would definitely become public .
I think he may have been making the point that vast quantities of cash doesn't always correlate with success.Newcastle successful
Newcastle successful
richest club on the planet, let’s see in 15 years if they have any trophies.
Got my doubts that ever comes out
They will definitely win some trophies
exactly. They are well ahead of assignment at this stage of takeover.
Yeah the end is nigh for us and they will be taking our spot at the top table from now on
Which other prem club is Qatar buying?
Nah he will go to ground until things calm
Spurs? London based, amazing ground, up and coming young squad with a fantastic manager, pretty much everything we're not.
Liverpool is the remaining big name left.
You should too, ffs every alternate post is yours and it adds nothing but endless moaning.
Where we are is not the bottom and it’s all going to be downhill! Gutted! We simply won’t be able to compete with city
Good post, it's better to wait for actual details rather than believing somehow SJR is so stupid to be a yes man for Glazers by playing 1.5 billion.
Will be interesting to see if Glazers takes dividends now, if they take, will SJR too?. Or will there will be some discussion not to take money out of the club considering the position we are in.
Love a bit of optimism first thing in the morning.
Another decade of mediocrity. Get in!!!!
When are you Ratcliffe supporters gonna realise it wasn't about state ownership it was clearing the debt,investment in players,training ground,stadium and women's team that was the attraction of bid but hopes are now dead
I keep thinking you're joking, but you're serious.
We'd never even heard of this Jassim character until a year ago, but now we're finished as a football club because he didn't do enough to buy us? Please calm down.
I had the feeling he cared more. Hence he wanted to settle the debt, get rid of the Glazers and was much clearer about his investment plans into the club
We haven’t been at the top of the table in 10 years. It won’t be our spot they take.
Spurs could be a HUGE club with Jassim’s backing.
Stadium, big fanbase, exciting manager, good young squad.
That’d be my guess.
They wanted partial ownership.
Spurs is the next option but I doubt Levi will make it easy for both parties. So maybe WestHam?
Oh, you’re saying the state ownership is NOT what attracts people, it’s the success it buys? That’s certainly a big difference to City supporters then who we all know never cared for getting the best managers in or changing mediocre players for elite players and scouting. All they ever wanted was state ownership and that would have been enough for them.
Glazers are conning the fans again the promised land is just over the horizon.
You need to add a Glazer-enabler to that list
The certainty that Jassim (Qatar) are complete football experts, whilst big Jim is going to pay over a billion to just sit there and continue the rot, is astounding.
Not the absolute best outcome, but definitely a step in the right direction.
Not the absolute best outcome, but definitely a step in the right direction.
But it’s all irrelevant if you aren’t able to actually do a deal with the owners. The Qatari bid couldn’t clear the first hurdle, they were just PR and not enough substance.
If the Qatari’s desperately wanted the club they’d have bought it.
Are we sure its even state state-funded bid headed by Jassim now? Surely if it was state-funded, it would have blown any bid away? Clearly there were financial/business model limits to a Jassim bid.
