Feck me this is getting serious.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe: I want to buy Manchester United | Will make a bid for the club [Telegraph]
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Fecking love rat
Lets be real he will also have a consortium behind him. He's estimated worth £13 billion, he's not going spend almost 1/2 of that and whatever he needs to invest (stadium, training ground, players, staff) on his own.
Becks?
Before we get too excited, this was him a few years ago:

Not sure what would have changed for him if he actually goes for it. Probably easing in with minority share and eventually taking over.
And Giggs is also a bad one
Well it could only be Beckham surely so why not say it?
Yay - the man whos buying my country and "saving the northern atlantic salmon" is now buying my team and hopefully saving it.
Sir Jim, you can also buy my life for a few million (and therefor saving me, the most precious save there is)

I thought of Neville actually
Becks in as President
Not getting my hopes up yet but it would be absolutely fantastic for the future of the football club If he was to buy it
Light at the end of this tunnel....

Why would it be only Beckham?
why would it be Beckham? Someone else was on TV this week telling them its time to sell the club
Can only be him or Neville actually he's shown feck all interest in United. Has to be neville
He wouldn't need to, The club generates enough to spend to keep up with anyone, it would be how he runs us
Rest of them are either weird or cnuts, or in some cases, both.
If he does take over, do we become an oil club? 
I immediately thought of Neville, to be honest.
Well it has been very clear that Man Utd has not been for sale mate,that maybe has changed.
the only thing thats changed is United are (probably) on the market now
We don't need him to put money into the club. We just need him/them to clear its debts and stop looting it. Savings from interests and dividends would allow us to make massive investments into the club/stadium going forward.
As long as it is o
As long as it is out of the Glazers hands, it would mean all the money generated by the club would go back into the club. 1.6 billion that has gone pt of the club wouldn’t happen again. We would be able to attract better sponsors as we would be more successful with less negativity.
Of course he won’t. We generate plenty in revenue it won’t be necessary. The areas he’d need to invest his own money in would be the stadium and the training facilities.
Hulk Hogan is the third man.
No chance it's Giggs for obvious reasons.
Scholes, no one would listen to him.
G Nev, maybe, but Becks is actually a good businessman with a big enough profile to perhaps fall into similar circles.
Toto studied United’s post Fergie downfall to try and avoid it with Mercedes
And yet it's happening to them, the first year after new rules that help the other cars improve came in
Not getting my hopes up to have them fvcked over again…I’ll believe when I see it and those shit hairdo scumbag bastards don’t have their hairy palms on our club anymore
This would be incredible news if it's true.
Obvious Neville, most vocal one against the Glazers.
Same
Would also be nice to see an owner/s that interacts with the fans and players more than our current ones. Just the basics of a professional relationship even. Not to mention a few briefing here and there.
They’re turning it around in fairly quick time though. Back on the podium at least.And yet it's happening to them, the first year after new rules that help the other cars improve came in
Oh please let this be true.
Definitely Neville. When he said at the weekend it’s time - sell the club - he spoke like he knew there was a bid.
would certainly be a suprise if it was Giggs.
