Sir Jim Ratcliffe: I want to buy Manchester United | Will make a bid for the club [Telegraph]
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Possibly, though I think it was too late anyway for Ratcliffe with you guys? Here there isn't such a deadline.
whats the point, piss a load of United fans off?
He should be able to buy the club with the Tax he saved each year 4 Billion, from moving to Monaco. It'd be a bit of a backtrackon his previous statements.
Ratcliffe even discussed a bid for Man Utd in that late Chelsea bid. I think his motives are a bit clearer now.
Feck me. It really is all happening at this club.
- The woeful onfield performances.
- Issues with new signings
- The Frenkie thread
- Murtogh not sleeping
- The media having dogs at the club
And now this
United really is a fecking circus

Yeah there isn’t one I don’t think?
you forgot the decimal somewhere along the process
Let's just put that down to excitement
Apollo? They are another real estate corporation. If they're going in that's probably to cede dividends.
feck the player links. This one will really hurt if it’s all bollocks or falls apart.
I think some of our resident oppos are getting shook at the fact we could be ridding ourselves of the Glazers you know…
They know what it’ll mean..

DADDY WANT DADDY DADDY WANT, on serious note, perfect timing to push strong for the protest. Make the game be postponed.
As I tried to say, his motive might be to get such a huge groundswell of support from United fans that the Glazers choose his bid instead of others? I’m just spitballing here.
14.7 > 4.5
Ratcliffe is close to the government right? He’s a big Tory donor? Some pressure needs applying. They can feck off selling to some asset stripping equity pricks.
If the Glazers are trying to sell that minority stake to a fellow American firm it means they really arent looking to sell right now and just looking for investment. Whereas Jim Ratcliffe wanted to buy in with a view to take control. So I think the bubble has burst already for me
4 billion per year? I doubt it.
they've been here for 17. years and have never cared what fans think
Obviously he wouldn't be in this to lose money. He's not stupid and is a self made billionaire. But would you consider a billionaire fan of the club, a local lad, buying this club at nearly 70 years of age, as a form of legacy purchase? Wouldn't think he'd be remembered globally for setting up, Ineos. If he does end up buying the club, i am 100% sure he will bring back the good times. Pretty sure he will go all in with everything. Proper investment in the team, new stadium, training ground etc. I might be a tad naive here but can't help but feel he's the right person.
That’s because it isn’t your breath you should be holding
Can this guy force a hostile takeover by buying out some of the other Glazers but not the main two wankers? I have watched Succession and therefore I know how these things happen!
Alas the only thing that will be coming their way will be Jim Ratcliffe’s billions.
I wonder how he got his knighthood?
If it makes you feel any better with how public Ratcliffe has been it will only turn up the heat for the Glazers. If they do undertake this investment deal with this American investment firm then more hell will break loose. The fanbase now know for definite there is a potential buyer.If the Glazers are trying to sell that minority stake to a fellow American firm it means they really arent looking to sell right now and just looking for investment.

I sense some blue curtains twitching.I think some of our resident oppos are getting shook at the fact we could be ridding ourselves of the Glazers you know…

oh right yeah. thought you meant he was dead bidding just for goodwill of the fanbase
Yep Sir David B
The mail piece is pretty weak.

Theyre all corrupt which we know. But our corrupt billionaire is better placed in charge of the club than these leeches (especially the one with the pony tail who you just know thinks of himself as the coolest sibling which in fact hes actually that weird as fk uncle everyone has one of in their family)
When have the Glazers ever cared about that? They are on the other side of the world and 9 out of 10 times probably dont even watch the games when over there. Nah, I think they will keep control by selling to Apollo and the shit keeps spinning.
I really hope to God to be wrong though.
Sir Jim’ll fix it, get us doped up and playing in lycra.
It’ll surely be him fronting a faceless consortium. If anyone new takes over it’ll take more years of upheaval before we are world class or even competitive off the pitch and then many more years after that to ever get close to what we were again. The glazers have well and truly broken us.
One thing is clear, we need to get the game stopped on Monday. Make the minority stake option an impossible one. Force their hand to sell now.
They don't care but we are now at a point that the online fanbase are registering negative reviews of their other financial interests. It is becoming ridiculous and something will have to give eventually, and I'm not sure it will be the fans.
So here’s a mad and probably way off the mark question but one could dream. Could our sudden and recent mad offers for players in the transfer market be the influence of new incoming owners?
The answer is almost certainly no, but feck it.
The answer is almost certainly no, but feck it.
And how do you stop a game on monday, somehow communicate to Ratcliffe to buy his share and then somehow get the glazers to sell later on?
Or the 1958 can keep doing the legal protests which has got them and us this far and everyone can also support ETH and the team?
I’m sure all of this is only helping the Glazers make more money via their minority share price sale and they will still have control of the club at the end of it.
The cancellation of the game during the ESL was an extremely effective tactic. The point is to remove the 'minority share' option and to get the Glazers to understand they need to sell up now or risk losing more and more.
I couldn't give a toss about the game right now. Getting the Glazers out is the most important thing we need to be focused on.
Please let these parasitic money grubbing leeches feck off. Take Arnold and Murtough with you too.
