Yup, and with the change to the class B rules he can easily buy out the four Glazer siblings who want out, and there's nothing Joel and Avram can do to stop him.

“300m of investment to follow” no one purchased in january. wouldn’t have happened under jassim.
Depending on SEC and/or NYSE disclosure rules, their hands may be tied here.
I know .. hopefully Qatar will make a last minute bid before Ratcliffe is ratified.
Some sources speculate its because Ten Hag isn't seen as a long term option, and any transfer budget is being held for his successor...
That ratification should be done around nowish, should it not?
Yeah there won't be much leeway in that regard. Once it's done it's done..
This stadium news is fairly exciting. It pretty much confirms INEOS are going to be at the very least majority owners and sooner than we’d think.
Regardless of whether it's ETH or someone else, I don't think recruitment under INEOS is going to continue to be manager-driven.Some sources speculate its because Ten Hag isn't seen as a long term option, and any transfer budget is being held for his successor...
Jassim wouldn't have been ratified and wouldn't have been able to bypass FFP. He also was not the grand owner everyone imagined him to be...
It shouldn’t be no.
we can only go by the facts. sir jim = bought no one. jassim = bankable promises.
There isn’t a Director Of Football or Head Of Recruitment in place yet so why spend money if the structure isn’t in place ? We’ve seen what happens when ETH or Murtough are allowed to spend on what they want, I’m glad we didn’t waste money on panic buy signings without a plan in place.
a lack of a director of football or a head of recruitment didn’t stop napoli from buying maradona.
People actually falling for low effort rimaldo bait 
Are you all new to the Caf?

No matter what some of the haters have said about INEOS and Jim in this thread, they are making all the right moves.
The Glazers stayed away from the memorials for both the 50 and 60th anniversaries of the Munich Air Disaster.
RIP The Busby Babes.
I was thinking the same. It’s not even that subtle!People actually falling for low effort rimaldo bait
Are you all new to the Caf?
I was wondering, (although I probably know the answer) did a Glazer ever attend a memorial? Shameful if not.
He’s not making that investment until he’s ratified
I know the more cynical will say it’s just gestures to get people onside but the gestures matter. The Glazers have shown disrespect by their absence from important events for many years and it’s good to see SJR and his team at this memorial service. It’s important culturally and a welcome change.
Absolutely. I was against SJR as it meant that the Glazers got to stay, but he's doing all the right things so far.
Hope he'll be the start of a new and stronger club.
his name is ratcliffe, how much more ratified would he need to be?

no bait here, sir, just razor sharp insight into the inner machinations of the club.
I'd be content with that espeically if we were able to stay in OT until it was built.
Am I correct in thinking that it may be more economical for them just to build a new stadium.
EDIT: Never mind just saw the tweet futher up the page. Long run a new stadium would probably be more economical
Ratcliffication is rimaldON.
i was shouting for people to get their rat out long before jassim was gazumped.
Agreed. It matters.
I dont know if they went to any, but they didnt go to the 50th or 60th anniversary memorials...

I thought that referred to the investment in the facilities and not in the squad. But anyway, FFP constraints exist, we can't just splash the cash.
Holy crap, just realized this thread went over 100k already.
And Ratcliffication is now a word
And Ratcliffication is now a word
Great news. I did hope that the initial 300mn wouldn't be spent on the stadium and instead on the training ground. Stadium can be a standalone project, however Jim wishes to finance it in addition to the 300mn
Why the feck should we listen to the opinions of a Chelsea supporter?
I know I shouldn’t but I’ll bite, are you really comparing football from the mid 80’s to now ?
Rimmy strikes again. It’s almost too easy….
