I havent seen any pics of Rat man in a united shirt yet, have you? 
The next weeks will be all about negotiation. Buyers want the best deal they can get, sellers want the best deal they can get. In this case, I would say the Glazers got some leverage. Big interest in buying United from multiple parties and they could get in a minor partner. That said, I think it’s fairly safe to say that we will see a full sale in the end. When all the potential buyers have fought it out, I think the price will be more than okay.
Not unless he votes himself off the board.
He is more than 2/3 owner, there are 2 other guys who hold 19 pc each. That’s it. They are a Ltd not a PLC so there are no shares traded on Stock exchanges. INEOS is Jim Ratcliffe, and vice versa.
Ok that’s something at least, good to know
What makes me want the Qatari bid more is how the traditional ABUs in the media are so against it, scared shitless of it happening.

That's Bumcliffe to you
Aye it was blowing my mind they felt that entitled not getting the kudos being on a message board like the rest of us and watching the games on tv.
I mean you go to Manchester, you be about the locals, you go to the bars around old Trafford, you go stand in the Stretford,.......you see what it means to the city and the people who live their, the club traces back over 100 years going thru generations.
Strange angle to be annoyed with the blood boiling at that reality
I’m not interested in kudos , I’ve been to my fair share of games, I was at Brighton first game of the season and many others throughout the years am I a “match going fan”.
I live in London and have worked in Manchester many times.
I just think in 2023 there is still this little Britain attitude to the worldwide support of United and the 75k that go to United games week on week are somehow more entitled to decide or feel a certain way about the club.
I know at least 4 or 5 season ticket holders who live and work in London who often sell their ticket that they can’t go to are they “match going fans”.
It boils down to happening to live near by and being a United fan , what if they are thick as shit or only want big Jim cos Barry down the pub says he’s a Manc? Doesn’t matter , cos he’s local. Beggars belief.
There are many thousands of smart match going fans that don’t have that opinion and see how there is a much wider net of loyal fans that have just as important say on the club as they do.
Who specifically ? One of the articles I read was from MEN and another from the Guardian. Do you think both authors are taking their positions because they fear United would gain an advantage over their club (assuming their club isn't United) ?
It’s pretty clear all of this(Include Radcliffe “progressive” shtick) is just PR bollocks.
Although no surprise to see a lot of fans falling for it.

Worth looking to find out which everyday products are petroleum based, there are quite a few on here you'd never think of

If JR is a Utd fan and wishes he could watch more games and get use out of a season ticket, then why can he not even buy a home closer to Manchester to help him relax and watch the footy game in person?.
Clearly not a financial issue, so I wonder what the reason is?. And how does he intend to finance the deal?. What money is he going to put out, where will it be from and will he look to recoup it?. JR will ruin the club if he leverages the club to buy it from the Glazers even if it will be on better terms.
I need to see more information from JR/Ineos before I favour their deal.

What does that pic prove about him loving the club since ‘92? It’s this seasons kit!
Tbh with you there's no fooling anybody and most fans just want what's best for their football club. And whether that's right or wrong is a different matter, but as far as developing the football side of the club, the Qatar bid looks strong and they would genuinely compete with Man City and the other big clubs around Europe imo.
And what's being briefed about their intentions for the club is also completely believable imo. I fully expect Sheikh Jassim to invest heavily throughout the club. And the average football fan doesn't pay attention to who owns the club but rather what's happening on the pitch.
You drew a parallel between Qatar’s human rights abuses and Ineos’ environmental abuse, ignoring the fact that the Qataris do both.
Nobody "falls" for anything. I mean who the feck cares when exactly that guy that's mostly funded from the state anyway started to follow United. To actually write a piece on that is so pity it's unreal.
I’m referring more to twitter users and people like Brendan Rogers who’s just have an interview talking about it.
Pretty daming evidence. Top of the pile with the other list of stupid sentimental shit that has no bearing on what an ideal owner should be.
Nobody is leveraging anything.
Could Manchester United uproot to London tomorrow and be the same club?
no.
It’s literally called Manchester United, of course the local people are more important, it’s actually mental to think they’re not.
This is what happens when the other two guys try to stop Sir Jim from doing what he wants
Has Biden made a bid for United? Is it just breaking on Twitter?
Ah, yes. Silly me. I can see it now. The lads from the Stretty give the Sheiks a lecture a half time on the tragic case of Alan Turing.
I think the final total factors in United selling the players below for £80m and qualifying for the champions league.
Forgive me for asking, but what’s that got to do with the sale of Manchester United?
When are Rishi Sunak and Tony Blair releasing their manifesto on their bid?
There have been a few on here saying it was just a Qatari businessman. They're either naive or being disingenuous but they're around.
Tbf, I think quite a lot of our fans strongly identify with someone over compensating for their geographical distance from Old Trafford by embellishing their almost romantic dedication to the club…
I doubt anyone is betting until a few more days and bids are in so people can make a more mature and realistic prediction
Because they are private, the data is very rare.
The latest is by the end of 2021. Their financial condition is very healthy. 60bil revenue, 2bil net income, with only 4.84 bil debt through many callable corp bond issuings which apparently are for tax purposes.
He can do whatever he wants. Wiki said his change of residence to Monaco will save him 4bil per year on tax. But again, his statement about bid is disappointing.
I’m expecting a 3rd act plot twist. Stalking horse biding their time to go public with their move.
Artificial Intelligence is great, though, really
Tbf it did say including selling maguire, mctominay awb and someone else I can't remember for a total of 80m. I don't know how many more players we really could afford to sell, martial? Who would buy him?
It baffles me.
I’m foreign and I was born in the 90s; of course I support United. My reasons were obviously weak and probably pathetic, but then again, I was 6.
The Romanticism of supporting this club and its greatest moments are so deeply rooted to the city and its people; I genuinely cannot understand how some fans don’t care about that connection being lost.
I don’t think you’re a lesser fan if you’re not a match-goer. But if you don’t believe that the voices of the fans in OT should weigh more than yours, you’ve fundamentally misunderstood the club.
I had the privilege of having a season ticket for 8 years, but I live in London now. I never felt what I wanted should matter as much as what the folks who have been going for decades wanted, let alone now.
Its doubled just in the past few days. Whose to say it can't do so again within the span of a few years.
Remember the good old days when everyone were friends in this thread and the only thing we argued over was if Q1 started in January, or in April like some nutcases believed?
