They are clearly motivated by money and are fairly greedy. They are Americans who tried hard to develop the super league and will have read the American analysis of the future of football valuation. They don't want to end up missing a potential golden age for football club valuation. Regardless of how far fetched you might find it, these are genuine concerns a sports investor would consider. Ratcliffe doesn't want to wait, or miss out on it either, cause we're shit, he's 70, and if he waits too long the value might skyrocket. He found the compromise, the Glazers earn their dividends and can take part in the valuation explosion analysts have predicted.

I think if Jim’s bid was the Qatari offer and the Qatari guy did what Jim did. A lot of people who are saying “let’s move on” would be outraged.
Just as we have zero proof that SJ would be any better than the Glazers at running a football club, but you were all on your knees begging to become a clone of Manchester City. Seriously boggles the mind.
Pot calling kettle black, much?
You’re having a right old hissyfit cause King Jim of MUFC has won.
Deal with it!
For Investors, it's probably the worst case scenario
By "you", do you mean me?
I just can’t how only one oil state made a bid for 100 percent of the club right now yet somehow they can sell it for 8/9b a few years down the road.
There is no super league, if I remember it’s by actual British law now that we can’t join one. There is no golden goose out there that will nearly double an already double what we’re actual worth (crazy) 6b evaluation. We will simply be too big for anybody to buy.
I do hope Jim now buys us but it doesn’t seem as if any real money men who were at the Glazers presentation a year ago bought anything they said
He clearly winds you up. No his name is Brent. He took the name due to being in the Police when he started his channel.
Also I dont hang on to his word, I dont watch him because I dislike his style.
Your posts seem abit juvenile though.
I think we all need to just wait for the details to emerge from the board meeting which is scheduled for Thursday according to the Athletic.This constant back and forth on here between those who wanted Qatar and those of us who wanted Ineos/ jim is tiring now.
I don't think wind up is the right term. It's more as United supporters a lot of us are offended by his belittlement and blatant lies which do the club no good.
I nor the other poster brought him into the thread. Someone posted a United Stand tweet and I nipped it in the bud by citing their lies and lack of credibility. That's all.
Anyway we can draw a line and move on. It's good you don't bother with his videos at least. Better than me who can't help check what nonsense he comes out with at times as a guilty pleasure
Qatar supposedly have the wealth to outbid Sir Jim but they chose not too. That's entirely on them.
The whole Qatar bid campaign has made them look a bit desperate and unconvincing.
I would be surprised if there are official statements that give some clarity. Hopefully I am wrong.
Said this earlier, it's amazing Ratcliffe (the amazing business person) was duped. He's basically handed them a dividend, they're laughing all the way to the bank.No its not. They pumped the club value x2 from the sale rumor, sold minority of their now over priced stakes whilst making sure Joel & Avram still have most voting power.
They practically printed money out if thin air
The Raine Group vetted every applicant.
If you know better than they do, don't sell yourself short.
You can charge out your analytical prowess at about $5,000 an hour.
I’m sure a factor in the valuation of the club by some shareholders was based on the scenario of Jassim taking over and doing a PSG. So it’s not that Ineos buying 25% of the club has reduced its value directly, it’s just ended whatever chance there was of an enormous, money-no-issue, cash injection.
Because the club will not make any progress.

haha fair play mate. Well that was probably what I was fishing after, the best thing to do is to ignore the guy instead of letting him annoy you.
Great news.
He took the name because he saw an opportunity in exploiting naive Man Utd fans. He’s a Forest fan, it’s been proved a million times before.
Mark Goldbridge is his online persona and his registered business. There’s a reason why TalkSPORT hired him, he’s a master at creating online drama and it brings in the viewers hence more advertising revenue.
The guy is a very good businessman. He saw a gap in the market and now everyone is trying to copy it.
He’s probably a lovely bloke in ‘real life’ but he designed his online Goldbridge character to make money. He thrives off bad news and drama.
He doesn’t wind me up. Life is too short and I’m too old to care. But even if he did wind me up, so what? It’s got nothing to do with you.
To be fair when the first bids went I was watching his show and he clearly said he wanted the oil money cheat code. When he saw the reaction to the bid he stepped back a bit with bad faith arguments about not being sure about either bid but Qatar was Glazer out so he had to reluctantly side with them.
He’s an actor on screen
I have the money to buy a Rolex. But I’m not going to pay x 3 the amount from the grey market. Also the final offer was reportable $6.5b plus $1.5b towards the club. Astounding how people don’t realise how much we’ve lost out on.
You are 100% spot on my friend.
Is this the only image of this guy? Looks like a stock photo if you were to Google "sheikh at a desk".
Honestly, does this guy exist?
Assuming that money actually exists.
"The Ineos Arena"
Bit emotional. He doesn't come across business smart.
There are a few things that they know they won't get away with, and that is one of them. You can best believe that the "INEOS Training and Development Complex" will be plastered everywhere however.
Where has it been proved? Unless you can show this, then you are guilty of the very thing you are accusing him of.
The glazers must be planning for something more than just dividends. They got 33 mil out of last financial year, thats 33 mil from 6 bill+ assets that they can sell. So 0.55% return. That's a fecking shit return. If its purely about dividends they would have taken those qatar money and ran away with it.
Like I said I dislike his style and ranting so I dont watch him. It wouldnt surprise me that he did what you describe. I think my main point here is just that people should just ignore him if they dont like him. Thats what I do. Dont waste time on someone that annoys you. The bonuseffect to that is also that he doesnt benefit from their clicks and views if they dont watch him.
It turns out the biggest Qatari apologists in this thread all like Goldbridge...not surprised.
We don't know if the Ratcliffe / Glazers model will work out or not.
What do know for sure is that the current all Glazers model has not worked.
So, let's see what happens before damming it before it has even started.
So you clearly don't want the Rolex that much then? If you did you'd negotiate a deal that the seller was happy with.
If Qatar have got $8 billion to play with it's incredible that they couldn't find a way to negotiate a similar but slightly better deal than Sir Jim did. If they've been out manoeuvred by Sir Jim then it doesn't say much about their business nous!
After reading the news, I immediately sold my stocks.
Whoever was begging for SJ..
Again, I wanted neither, but the SJ begging and subsequent meltdown has been completely shameless from a fanbase that prides itself on its club not being a soulless machine akin to Manchester City
Our absolute spend was never the problem. It was how well the money was allocated. To quote you - "How this is hard to grasp for some of you is beyond me."
'Sheikh Jassim hologram believes...'
Do feck off, offered 6-7 billion, but couldn't manage to find 3 different pictures.
Fair play.
You, like many others are just thinking that money = success. Not true.
The Glazers have spent a fortune on the team and look at the state of it. We could have spent 1/3 of that wisely and been in a much better position.
The Qatari's were putting forward a faceless nobody as the club buyer, someone there is what, 3 pictures of? It's totally weird.
People are too quick to abandon their morals for some money, it's sad.
Ratcliffe is already talking about employing Michael Edwards, one of the best football operators. If he follows his lead, I'm fairly positive about it all. The Glazers are clueless.
There was crappy photoshopped one him wearing a united shirt. Actually, it might be the same photo!
