Someone buying a partial stake only makes sense if someone else is buying the rest from the glazers, the whole reason they want to sell now, is that you're looking at 7 clubs just now who could all be considered possible top 4 candidates, so in order to keep united profitable its going to require a fair bit of investment, and loan interest and dividends might not be an option short term. If its only a partial sale then this level of investment won't be forthcoming and the value of the brand will drop over the next 10 years and Newcastle, city, Chelsea and Liverpool if they get a rich owner pull away from us
Club Sale | It’s done!

The ironic downside of the team currently doing well is that the club will now be considerably more attractive to minority investment profit-seekers.
No charge to view it. Let’s get a Caf consortium together
If this guy was a good journey he would of noted that Sixth Street publically denied they were intested after the Telegraph broke the story.
Glazers are brokies.
Sounds like things are progressing which can only be a positive
Proceeds from a partial sale will probably just end up in Glazer pockets with the club not seeing a penny of it.
I assume the divide is between the Glazer kids - some want to sell and book their gains and move on to more interesting things and others want to keep the club.
Partial sale will keep the sell brigade quite for a little while because they get some cash to spend.
I am 100% against the idea of a partial sale. As fans we should really push for a full sale.

Any minority investor would likely demand the money to be invested back into the club to protect the value of the club
The data room?
Where do these journalists get their language from, this aint Nasa.
Theres probably just some online portal they log into held by Raine group.

I'll throw in a fiver and a unused boxed Kenwood juicer.
Someone else come forward to rival Ratcliffe's bid and no I don't mean that minor investment BS either. Was hoping for a bit of flurry of interest after that broke

Do it!
"Richard, we've just had a data request from RedCafHysteria Limited....?"
Did you win that on here?
No dice, juicers are old hat now. Nobody wants them anymore. Needs to be at least an air fryer!

Why?
Don't you imagine he will have a different view on Manchester United than he will re Nice?
I don't want him but looking at how he handles some tiny (in relation) French club compared to how he would run Utd is a bit of a stretch.
I don't necessarily have a problem with an American buying the team; plenty of good options (Bezos, Cook, etc.) that will have a strong desire to compete and win. The problem is all of the American PE firms lurking around...their only goal is to make money and suck their portfolio companies dry. We would be no better off than with the Glaziers, potentially worse off.
If he can't even succeed with a small club, why do you think he can succeed at the biggest in the world...
He is a local lad
I keep my car cleaner and in better condition than I keep a random scrap of paper in a desk drawer that I barely know is there.
The way he handles Nice is absolutely irrelevant in comparison to Man Utd.
What if this random piece of paper cost 100m-200m?
His question was to me, did I say that or did I offer a slightly more nuanced point worth discussing and you decided to just interject and try to shut down the actual conversation?
Good job devilish, never stop being you.
It didn't, I am also not a multi billionaire sadly.
If you can't drive a Dacia why should I believe you can drive a Lamborghini
That's how much Nice had costed ineos. His success in other sports was hardly spectacular either
Because that is what it is called in the M&A world.The data room?

You do know that people are allowed to discuss someone else's posts don't you? That is how forums work.
You have literally missed the exact point I was making.
Nice was a relatively small investment for Ineos, Manchester United would not be and would also be of far greater interest to Radcliffe.
Which reinforces my point of the comparison to Nice being utterly irrelevant.
I want to believe that,also have seen suggestions he wouldn't let us spend well each transfer window either
You did not discuss anything, you jumped in like an idiot with the same nonsense you had already posted moments ago and ignored the context of what you were actually talking about.
I am criticising you because the above is not how forums should work.
If you had a Lambo you will probably be a bit more concerned about driving it properly because you know how valuable it is.
I don't want Ratcliffe but you can clearly tell Nice and Manchester United are totally different propositions as and owner so it is a good guess that they would be ran differently. What he does with Nice is about as relevant to how he treats a pair of running shoes in comparison to Manchester United.
Failure seem to be Sir Ratcliffe's trend across all that concerns sport.
From a...I don't know what to call it..."moral" perspective, Ratcliffe is hardly better than the Glazers, arguably worse.
He's an actual, outspoken advocate of fracking: in other words, either an idiot (who doesn't understand what his money making schemes will lead to) or...yes, what? Evil?
He's an utter cnut.

Awesome, did I say I wanted him because he was a "local lad"?
Or did you just chat nonsense?
Only 1 of the above 2 can be true devilish.
I think it's fair to be concerned about how someone will manage a huge project based on how they have handled much smaller projects.
Of course none of us know how he will do but the concerns are fair?
