Bloody hell
I get it now. You want to become a new oil state club. A solesless PR club that you can showoff to your buddies down the pub.
You want a new ground!!?
I'm getting slight anxiety about this takeover now.
I know these things take months to sort out but the idea of another Glazer like owner makes me sick.
I don't know if I could stomach another decade or more of an owner who only cares about profits and will exploit the club for every penny.
Even the idea of Ratcliffe worries me. He isn't oil money rich and won't be blowing his kids inheritance on a vanity project, so again it will be a case of profits before trophies.

So after all this you proved you didn’t have the answers.
Yeah. I would love to stay and refurbish. But were we going to play whilst this is done? I don’t think the City ground is feasible.
Especially if another ME group bought United.
I guess you mean the world record but we broke the British record a few times
Are you sure about this!
You know what I meant.Fecking hell ....how many more times does it need to be said before people comprehend.
Ratcliffe isn't buying the club. INEOS is!! (Potentially)
They turn over $60b a year, they brought Nice with dividends from shares, basically spare change.
Money will not be an issue.

Have they ever spent 10% of their turnover on 1 asset?
INEOS made a £250m loss in 2020 and £500m profit in 2022.
This £60b turnover figure that gets touted is highly misleading. If I turnover £600,000 a year but make profit of £10k, I have no business buying a £100k Porsche
1 billion fans while the population last year just reached 8 billion and considering 3 billion are children 16 and under, means thats got to be bolllocks.
You are wasting your breath. The new normal is sovereign wealth funds with £750bn AUM. Anything less than that and the people who have already bought Mbappe pyjamas to match their Manchester United bedspreads, might risk looking silly.
Transfer record fee? Yep.
Again it’s just your lack of financial knowledge which blinds you.
Is is feasible for their company to freely write off c.£10bn as an exceptional item?
I’d settle for clearing the debt to level the playing field and competency in the football structure, although I’m hoping whoever comes in gives Arnold and Murtough a fair go as I feel we are seeing improvements under them, and they have Erik’s back.
The other stuff is ancillary and will follow the above.
What are you on about?
It’s not at all illegal to take out debt on a football man.
The Glazers hope that if they sell now, they might be able to avoid lengthy jail sentences for committing a leveraged buyout with a deadly weapon (the weapon in this case being Ed Woodward).
They’ve been there 3 years man, and after a slightly rocky patch they went out and got themselves one of the most promising DoF’s in France.
Compare that to how long Woodward stayed in charge or how Everton has been run, yet the way some talk, like yourself talk like they’ve been there for years and years making multiple wrong decisions year on year.
You’re all making drama for the sake of drama, Nice bought some shite players before INEOS too. Just as everyone claimed Liverpool were incredible in recruitment, you sometimes get it wrong, as Liverpool appear to have done lately. What you hope is that the club hierarchy recognise that and immediately remedy it, just as INEOS appear to have done.
League finishes are fine, they are in no danger of doing an Everton, it’s all drama because people expect instant results from fecking Nice.

The Arnold and Murtough thing fine. But if you just settle the debt how are you financing the stadium, training ground and football team?
The club closes to us in debt is Spurs and that’s due to their stadium mortgage? You think these mini billionaires are going to go broke giving us a stadium for free.
Write off?
So you're telling me United have never broke a transfer record when SAF was manager - really?
Tell me when. You've asked the same question three times now
Rio Ferdinand
Roy Keane
Andy Cole
Veron as well as others mentioned
Not a transfer record
Not a transfer record
Not a transfer record
Are you just going to list some names in the hope that one sticks
Or maybe, just maybe you've confused British record transfer with biggest record transfer?
Considering they put a bid of circa $4.5b for Chelsea, I'd say they are serious contenders to do just that.
INEOs and Ratcliffe have already stated their desire to have a portfolio of clubs with a big club central to it. It's part of a wider sports conglomerate for them.
Semantics he was world's most expensive defender
Now you're just being silly
You've litteraly just proven that I was right
Maybe you should have done this first?
