The Qataris were all bluster and failed so miserably at the bidding process that we should be glad they didn't succeed at buying the club.
This is how I feel. I've always been mixed at best about becoming yet another state run club, if you'd told me that INEOS would be running the football club at the outset, I would have snapped your hand off. Not surprised the Glazers are hanging on for dear life to the reins of the club, we've been the best investment they will -ever- have, basically free money year on year for them.

"Manchester United plc (NYSE: Man Utd), announces today that it has entered into an agreement under which Chairman of INEOS, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, will acquire 25 per cent of Manchester United's Class B shares and up to 25 per cent of Manchester United's Class A shares and provide an additional $300 million intended to enable future investment into Old Trafford."
Had a feeling that would be the case with his additional investment. No way he was about to give the other shareholders a free ride.
yay (hopefully) let’s see what the new year brings
This is the first time there is money going in to invest in the club in many decades.
And got bashed for saying that.

But you realise thats like throwing 50 pence into the ocean? the stadium and training ground need a redevelopment or a brand new build 300m in getting us nowhere
Madrid's just done a redevelopment and it cost 1.4 billion
Official Announcement of Ratcliffe acquisition
There ya go
About bloody time!!
Finally some cash into the club.

Get in. Let's hope this is a real new dawn
Cheers James.
Glad it’s finally official.
Delighted. Now buy the rest.
Outside of a hedge fund buying us that's a load of bollocks isn't it
25% with no option to buy it all, 300m investment into the stadium when it needs over a billion
Not blinded by this shitty deal one bit

Very happy with this
Make no mistake the £1.5bn or so purchase of the shares is NOT investment. Which is what I am saying. The 300m dollars is positive but in the great scheme of things chicken feed. As I say, this is no revolution.

I've not been following the ins and outs but isn't this at least a fairly good step towards getting the Glaziers out?
25% is madness.
fecking parasites. feck off

I'm with you, unfortunately it is what it is
The Glazers and their incompetent yes-men are more or less out of the picture on sporting matters and people are still complaining?
