He probably deserves that, he is tier 4 after all.

You must realise that to 99% of the people concerned about state ownership it doesn't make a difference though? State ownership is a moral issue for everyone apart from the tiny fraction who are worried they're going to "get caught" and having a member of the royal family and state financed bank employee beholden to someone who has just given him a £5bn gift and requires more of the same to keep his promises is no different to being state owned in a legal sense. Everyone knows who is really in charge of the club and who pays the bills.
It's pretty disingenuous of Crafton to say that just because the debt wasn't specifically mentioned in the statement. Which Raine did not want them making publicly anyways.
It's just doing business, the debt would be shifted to INEOS which obviously have no issues handling with their 2bn yearly revenue.
British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe has lined up banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to provide debt financing for a bid to buy Manchester United FC, a person familiar with the matter said.
The banks are prepared to back a takeover offer with bonds and loans, according to the person, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information. If a bid is made, the banks will cover the value of Manchester United’s existing debt—which stands at roughly $800 million—and potentially go much higher, they said.

Ratcliffe is not clearing the clubs debt therefore he's not a solution to bad ownership he will be a component of the bad ownership. All things considered, Glazers to Ratcliffe is a sidestep.
I couldn’t care less what you think 99% of people care about.
That's incredibly kind to the Glazers.
Naturally, he's one of the few who addresses sportswashing consistently.
It’s like the Peacemaker joke when he claims he isn’t racist because he just kills bad guys but agrees when the janitor says yeah but they’re mostly black.
I bet there’s more about oil money than the ownership of Glazers and Ashley at Newcastle. It really feels unbalanced. Not saying he’s racist but there must be a reason there somewhere
Is not true that he definitely is not clearing club debt. Better to wait for clarification on that
You felt the need to reply to me, making that exact spurious point, so this is evidently untrue.
Again what YOU think 99% care about is of little relevance. You actually responded to my post by the way.
The Qatari dude barely qualifies as a journalist, more of a propagandist, but I still think he is trying to say that the bid will be accepted and the club will be bought whether Delaney likes it or not. a general note is that Qatari's are not very subtle and feel entitled to many things in the UK since they basically own half of London.
No I didn't. We've never previous engaged in conversation on this board until you replied to a post I made to someone else with the "it's not state ownership" guff.
Yes, the bluster and PR coming from INEOS and Qatar make me think that this isn't cut and dry, there could be other potential suitors who are serious candidates.
What's your point? Can't he own Man Utd?
Sportswashing already working.
This just might be the most ridiculous replies I have ever read in my life
every sentence contradicts each other.I'm almost sure that it's the guy that couldn't shut up about Zidane. If it's him then it's a proper clown.
Take it easy manThey haven’t even had chance to do due diligence yet the fecking presumptuous wind up merchant.
Wonder if this level of scrutiny is only on the anti Qatar journos or everyone
He absolutely seems it!
Opportunistic leeches
He's the state cheerleader isn't he
Caught.
The post you literally replied to 4/5 posts ago was me responding to someone else after having left the conversation with you and you reponding to that. It was also about a different topic about asking where the funds would he sourced.
Which is why the answer I gave had relevance and why your point about what you think 99% of people care about has zero relevance. Now lets just agree to end this convo here. As Ive stated before there is no point you responding to my posts (in reply to others) to repeat what you have already said to me for me to then repeat back what I have previously said is there?
Would be more appealing if he saw himself as a British Abramovich,not thinking about ROI is more important than spending what it takes to make it happen
How is that sportswashing? It’s the caf’s new buzzword.
It's unclear if he would or not.
Yup that’s the one
Classic.
Pretty sure O Neill is going to be on Webby's podcast shortly. This should be interesting as Tony is a big supporter of Qatar bid
This proves that the dippers would cheer on a Qatari takeover of their club so why should United fans feel pressured to take the moral high ground?
Hahaha
Weird how any claim about what SJR and Ineos would do is immediately taken as fact by those in favour of the Qatar bid but any and all of the many, many questions about the Qatari bid is immediately dismissed out of hand.
Any concerns you have about SJR and Ineos apply many times over for Qatar's bid. I mean, the apparent man behind the bid appears to be worth less than the Glazers for starters yet this is ignored because the money is coming from the Qatar State, "Oh, no it isn't" (this is literally the argument being put forward, the unfunniest panto in history).
And because Delaney is a bit of a crap journo we've reached the "he's behind you" stage as veiled threats start flying about.
Still, just think of the shiny new Stadium and Mbappe

Because it's the same issue and you've never addressed it, yet keep repeating the same spurious point. I'm going to continue to address it if you continue to repeat it, that's just the nature of discussion forums.
