Sir Jim going all out
Sounds to like a man doing a press release because he knows his bid will be nowhere near that of Qatar
All this community talk and doing it for the fans….fair enough not sure that would be the message if he was the front runner but maybe I’m reading it wrong
Maybe he needs to start a non-profit to own the club, a foundation of sorts.
Late 20s think he’s around late 30s now
Just say what your plans are about debt instead of using weasel words like focusing on winning.
You’re right. If we can pay anyone £50m to take him it will be money well spent.Scotty McSauce, a bargain at £50m
Tres drole
Hes using the same tactics as Sheikh Jassim.
Reads more like he's just rationalizing why you would pay more than market value then clearing up that they're not gonna be stupid either.
But people like to read more into things than is there.

He’s already said INEOS will pay off the glazer debt and there will be ‘no new debt’ on the club. What more do you need to know?
The below is what keeps getting repeated regarding the debt. And Ducker in his latest piece also repeats the same.
James Ducker: "Sheikh Jassim is proposing a completely debt free takeover; Ratcliffe has said his bid will not add to the existing debt levels."
"Yet Ratcliffe, while refusing to discuss the financial details of his bid, told the Wall Street Journal in an interview that he would not be paying a “stupid” figure that would cause regret down the line."
No non-english words here or we'll both be accused of not being top-top fans.
Sir Jim said: ‘The decision to build in the UK is a significant expression of confidence in British manufacturing, which has always been at the heart of what Ineos stands for.’
Anyways, that thing is now built in France. I’m not saying this because I prefer Qatar bid which I do, but Ratcliff has a history of using the local, community, national emotional appeal to get support for whatever it is he wants. Then when a better alternative comes along he doesn’t care about the the community he gave hope of 2000 jobs to.
Not really. Ratcliff's PR approach has always been directly from him which made some here to question his real motive. Plus the timing of this Telegraph interview is odd.
Sounds like Ole hiding behind pretty words like "more passion" "wanting more" because he knows his coaching is not good enough.
Is he? Ah, okay.
He’s willing to call out others whilst being paid by the same questionable outfits he’s the exact meaning of the word hypocrite
I'm trying to see how you've come to that conclusion from those comments but I honestly can't see how this has anything to do with Ole? All he's said here is he wants to win, won't pay a silly price for the club, doesn't see United as a financial asset and that sport is emotional. Pretty standard stuff really.
He was on the board of Credit Suisse in his late 20s?
I believe that’s correct. Wasn’t he supposed to be 10 in ‘92 when he fell in love with United? He’s about 40 now but not even his spokes people know exactly! And that’s not odd at all!
Stupid paywall
Do a Google search for 12 foot ladders. You never know what will come up
Yeah I’ve found it thanks. Learning all sorts tonight!
Could well be ratcliffe pulling back gradually from his bid to save face. He got plenty of experience doing that with chelsea
It could also be him lulling other bidders into a false sense of security ’poor little Jim, can’t pony up enough dough!’ only to slap 6b large on the table, drop the mic and walk away with the keys to OT!
Be terrible to see us have all the money in the world and still be a shambles.... Oh.
Jim’s prepping us all for when his bid falls short on Wednesday
I really want to know who these other bidders are.
Makes it up as he goes along. I think he’s covered every angle over the last week
Whoever does PR for Ineos is pretty medicore at their job. At the start of this process half the fan base was begging him to make a bid, every word they have leaked since has made them look like the second best bid
Jimbo can feck off.
Ghost bidders.
Interesting!
How many rounds of bidding are there? Do we get another round after the deadline for second offers on wednesday?
I dunno, he doesn't actually have to say anything, just give the number the Glazers want.
It's a charm offensive, but to what desired effect? But it is really no different than the Sheikh's antics.
8 bidders?! So that’s Sir Jim and Sheikh Jassim, then presumably Hugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub!
