Id take 12th this year if it meant they fecked off
Sir Jim Ratcliffe: I want to buy Manchester United | Will make a bid for the club [Telegraph]
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Theres way to much noise for it not to be true, it's just whether anything materialises.
Glazers will likely press for the most they can get, as all they've ever cared about is money
I mean in this instance, selling their asset, it's the natural thing to do
There is so much going on with this club right now its hard to keep up. Hopefully this comes good.
Of course it is, but even over the last god knows how many years, all they've cared about is how much they can make from the club. They've done the bare minimum to ensure that they keep making money off us
feck Frenkie
I hope this becomes a 100000 pager within a week, ending with a takeover

Please all of the deities let this happen! id take a week off work!
We all need to get behind him now and push the parasites out. The club deserves way better than what has gone on in the last decade or so.

Same and I’m normally sceptical as feck about any positive news when it comes to United over the last few years.
Cruel
Who's this guy and is it realistic?
Verstappen is a United fan. Max to Mercedes then? They could really do with recruiting the best driver there has been in recent times.
How wealthy is Ratcliffe compared to owners of other football teams?
Wondering how complicated the financial leveraging would be for him to buy/run the club and what degree of returns he'd need to see for it to be viable.

Please be true!
Can the PL force the glazers to sell because of how they're treating the club? I think they have some new guidelines on leveraged buyouts because of what happened with us.
I'm going to save my 5,000th post for when this goes through.
I can't see these rules they implemented to work backdated in retrospect, unfortunately
Doubt it, would be good though
OGC Nice and no the UEFA allows it. You even have clubs that own other clubs for example AS Monaco owns the Cercle Brugge.
In celebration of this great news tonight I shall sniff the contents of the kitchen cupboard*.
*I was already going to but now I have an excuse when the missus complains
Differs between 12b and 21b but Ineos are worth around 61b
Britains richest man, yes realistic.
Bid 4.25 bill right at the end. It was the highest bid as well if you believe the reports.
Oh my days. I think this could be genuinely happening.
This is the new muppet thread. Feck the football. Feck transfers. Let's set up a club sale forum.

so how would it work if ineos are involved?
So if thats the case, buying United should be easily doable for him if he can persuaid the Glazers to sell for 4bn
when this first was reported I thought they'd quickly pour cold water on this, instead the club isn't commenting and it seems this story actually has legs. Aaargh don't do this to me ... hard not to get super excited over this. Let's hope we won't get hurt again
Oh. Good then.
The writing was on the wall for the Glazers when the super league bid went tits up. Woodward saw the writing on the wall.
He's worth 15 billion quid.
I'm tired Erik
Remember the day…it’s happening.
Ratcliffe has a net worth of 14,7 mil. USD. Todd Boehly has a net worth 4,5 mil. USD
Only did a quick Google search
Well, I don't know about you fellas but I ain't sleeping until this is done.
He bid £4.25bn for Chelsea recently so the money is there.
Britain's richest man vs the money grabbing run off into the night crooks from America? I imagine this deal would be done very quickly once it gets serious.
The Super League failure has caused a ripple. Barca, Chelsea and United were banking on it.

Feck the Glazers, get those rats off our sinking ship. Long live Jim!
Britain's richest man a few years ago, now officially residing in Monaco. Owns INEOS and made his money in the Chemicals/Energy field. INEOS also own OGC Nice. Ratcliffe is worth about £20 billion. From Oldham and is a United fan.
Whether it's realistic depends on the Glazers, of course, but in terms of whether he is a credible buyer, I think he very much is. He's distanced himself in the past and said he'd only get involved if the club was put up for sale. He's now straight in with the spokesman comment, and media coverage. He put a £4.25 billion bid in for Chelsea at the eleventh hour, which was seen as a signal of his intent to later bid for United.
Please God.
Now we are talking.
Now we are talking.
OK. I'm camping here then.
