I'm actually prematurely tearing up here
Sir Jim Ratcliffe: I want to buy Manchester United | Will make a bid for the club [Telegraph]
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
feck FDJ, feck Casemiro, feck Pulisic, Im setting up camp in here.
I can see Ratcliffe being a bit hands on and involved with our affairs. He’s a bit of a jet setter and you regularly see him at the ventures he’s invested in.
Absolute bullshitter. Shouldn't be posted imo.
If this fails, it's your fault for not inviting the proper big guns
Richest in spirit - the spirit of buying Manchester United
if they free us from this nightmare they can put on the shirt whatever they want, for all I care.
He'll have a consortium behind him, but we've had over £1bn + taken out in interest payments and dividends since the Glazers came in. That money could of gone somewhere else.
Lifelong united fan, very wealthy, very professional in how he handles sport teams - owns INEOS Team UK, OG Nice, and is a principle partner of the F1 team Mercedes. Doesn't suffer fools in management positions and is as serious as they come. He and his investment firm would be absolutely amazing as owners.
Hope they bring the juices from the Sky/early Ineos days. We have some asthmatic players.
If true this changes everything
I'm quite emotional too.
I really hope so! I hope they’re planning on selling the club and not just some nonvoting stocks!
Oh god, oh god, oh god, Ratcliffe is buying us isn't he? I can't get my hopes up too much, but man that would be amazing.
It's hardly possible to be more disappointed in the ownership situation than we are right now
If these reports are true and also the reports of all the recent transfer news …. Would the Glazers really be chucking money around left and right? Surely they be saving as much as they can?
Please let this be true.
What a cynical man you are. Stuff like this happens only in lower-value sports like cycling
I might actually go now to the match on Monday!
Agree. Best case scenario for me as a future owner.
, I guess I shouldn’t get too excited then, hopefully there is some truth in this though!https://www.theguardian.com/busines...oves-to-tax-free-monaco-brexit-ineos-domicile
It's on lads, he's buying us with his tax savings!

Is Neville any better than the glazers? Soon we'll have Ole back and English players FC
Honestly all he needs to do is just clear the debt and maybe upgrade the facilities. The club is more than self-sufficient to operate on its own and even give him a little profit on the side
Just like Mercedes, shit
Kind of irrelevant, but Chelsea was purchased by a consortium led by Todd Boehly, chairman and CEO of Eldridge, and Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. (together with its affiliates, “Clearlake”). The consortium also includes Hansjörg Wyss, founder of the Wyss Foundation, and Mark Walter, co-founder and CEO of Guggenheim Capital. Walter and Boehly are owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Los Angeles Sparks.
Unclear what the cap table looks like, but Bohely seems to be the main guy. In any case Ratcliffe can put together a similar club deal for United.
Yep it's definitely Phil.
My ED is cured.
Unlike the Glazer spawn, this guy actually knows how to run a successful business.
Jim is from Manchester and supported United as a kid. He’s 69 now so I don’t think he’ll be looking for a long term project or slow build. My hope is that he’ll be more than happy to plow shitloads into it and enjoy his twilight years as much as possible.
mommy...is the bad dream over?
It's Nicky Butt.
In all honesty lads, whats the chances of this happening?
I'm hoping and praying its true
I'm hoping and praying its true
Apparently his reign at Nice is a shit show according to posts I’ve read on Reddit
The richest in all our hearts
Please, just please let this be true. Enough of the American rats.
