can’t understand how anyone could stomach even a hint of Glazer involvement.

It makes no sense
About as generic as PR statement can beFeck Ratcliffe
A local club for local people.
It looks like he's had a plan all along.
Bit of a silly thing to say for a club that has a gigantic global fanbase.
'Delusional wishful thinking'
It can make sense from their point of view. If it's going to be profitable they could keep some investment there.
Yup, that’s exactly what I said.
Get Brexit done, make America great again, British bid for a British club, put Manchester back in Manchester United = Nationalist racist bullshitIt makes no sense
Sportswashing when it's Qatar or anyone from the Middle East but American or British. Massive trade partners with the Middle Easterners but you draw the line when it's Manchester United. Y'all can't even see how your media has fed you same info for decades and the brainwash was well and truly successful.
If any of you prefer this sorry excuse of a bid to Qatar's, please explain why
It's a concern really, that doesn't really sound like a globalist approach to running a football club. We need to generate more international revenue, not focus on just Manchester.
"Manchester United" fan willing to keep Glazers in the club and loaning money to buy United. Feckoff this ccould prolong our nighhtmare with shit owners..im worried
Definitely needs qualifying. From the perspective of Avram and Joel Glazer, that’s what they would prefer.
It makes no sense
The only explanation is that he's trying to appeal to a certain kind of crowd which isn't a good look.
It's cringy because Ratcliffe has lived elsewhere and has never invested in the city.
When does the soft deadline become a hard deadline?
Any idea who could it be from the States ?
Won't sit well with fans it's like making a pact with Satan.
Honestly it reads like that but I could be reading too much into it. Then again Ratcliffe is a brexiteer.
Get these bids in then ffs. I want this done.
Maybe but then you think that they have been trying to sell a minority of shares for a number of years without any luck so why hold them if they will struggle to sell them until the next buyout plus no dividends.
Do they think Ineos will add value to the club? Difficult to see how they can improve the stadium, training ground and surrounding areas when the bid is based on borrowing money. Where’s funding going to come from for the improvements?
Hard to see what’s in it for the glazers to hold a minority share
It would certainly make sense
Not if they’re still involving the Glazers. You’re also taking the assumption whoever else is part of the consortium is above board and not say worse than the Qataris.
Ironically I think this song can be relate to the majority of what's going on in this thread...
Because people are clearly a Masochist, they enjoy pain.
It reads like the kind of statement a Leeds, Chelsea, West Ham or Millwall fan would love, that's my concern.
They aren't leaked they're outright statements it seems. From the Qatar sheikh and Ratcliff anyway.
I dont see any reason not to have a public statement but it could be the case that other bids were made without an official line to the press.
It makes you wonder... a 4bn stake you would think could amount to like 80% of the club. Certainly the majority stake. Then what? Glazers keep 20%?
Anyway @Regulus Arcturus Black you wanted the statement what you thinking now?
I seem to remember Ratcliffe's offer included "incentives". Now we have this "majority" term. Gee whiz, I wonder what those incentives could be?
Im not making up Mbappe being on a stupid salary, not working hard enough on the pitch and being undroppable regardless of his attitude.
Anyway, let's move on.
Between the "make Manchester United great again" spiel from Ratcliffe and the class of 92 stuff from Qatar, I'm now wondering if anyone else will at least make a less cringe bid.
Or double down and include a load of player quotes about how great Paul Scholes was in their statement.

When Salford became a city?
When we're relying on Americans to be the least cringey... oh dear.
Waiting for a bid in Fergie time?
Musk possibly. He's the least favorite on my list of least favorites.
