I made a super tame joke about the hitler downfall meme at a time when Qatar looked to have the upper hand and they just banned me. I said someone should do a version where Ratcliffe finds out Qatar had won.

overused joke and unfunnyHow
Think it's clear with him that he has contacts with other ITKs... He doesn't have his own sources IMO. But because he's got a lot of followers, he's got a platform to get info from others with some actual sources while sharing them to gain them popularity IMO.
He does also make up a shit ton, or just do educated/logic based guesses and then displays them as facts. If he had real sources he wouldn't have to do that quite so much
Should've just stuck with your caf wit. You could've gotten close to them and fed us the inside scoops...
We definitely need a statement from Ratcliffe of his plans for club when it's confirmed
Got to think The Glazers will restrict what can be said. Im not expecting real details.
Yeah you are probably right unfortunately
He’ll praise them I’m sure. Until he can buy them out fully anyway.
Sure, but what plans do you mean?
Given that we've seen leaks to press at regular intervals, usually when the press has a meltdown over some random rumour, that seems like it is likely to happen. I'm not sure how "definitive" that statement will be though. He can't outright criticise his business partners - the Glazers - and he can't really make definite promises unless he has full control of the boardroom.
However, we have a lot of information as is - assuming some of the more persistent reporting in the press is accurate. So far the most reliable outlets have reported that he's aiming to restructure the club's operating structure with a new CEO and DOF. He is changing the recruitment processes and removing the manager's authority (and veto) in recruitment matters. It's been reported that he's investing almost £300M staggered into club infrastructure of his personal wealth this year, with the majority being available to the club before January 2024. They've reported that he's investing a hiterhto unknown amount of money, which may or may not be revealed at a later date, into the stadium in the future (probably after a full aquisition). Finally it has been reported by mutliple sources, BBC prime among them, that his long to medium term aim is to take full ownership of the club - possibly as early as late 2024.

Thanks James!
It's not a term generally used to describe women. It's pretty much exclusively reserved for men so yeah it's origins are as a homophobic slur.
Wait what?
Someone thinks the Glazers are about to reveal a future full sale I think.
No, not this guy.
Freedman it is then. What the feck? We becoming some billionaires super club?
He's bought 1.8%
Obviously got some assumed path to control, wouldn’t trust Glazers with his money etc etc
Name a billionaire that isn't
Creature after the Glazers' heart..
I think it's either Mithcell, or they split the responsibilities into a sporting director overseeing all parts of the club, which Mitchell will get, and individual DOFs for then men and women's team - where Freedman will be the DOF for the men's team. There's been too much noise about Mitchell in the past year for it to just be unsubstantiated rumours.
Dougie Bloody Freedman???
A fair few Palace fans seem to really rate what he’s done there. They’ve recruited pretty well.
This indicates an announcement is imminent.
Clever play to purchase stocks before the investment and purchase of 25% is made to then sell again.
Quick buck and smart.
No impact on the club.
And everybody has to start somewhere.
I bet he's just buying some shares on open market. Big value investor. No real effect on us....
I'm more aware of Mitchell's career than Freedman, but Guehi, Olise and Eze are all good finds. I think my main issue is these are all English youngsters. I'm sure his knowledge of young English players is excellent, but at Utd we need someone with a global network and knowledge. I'm not sure he's shown he has that yet, unlike Mitchell.
