"They still think we're serious about selling!"
:lol:
 
He needs to just let the current leadership with Murtough and Arnold stay on. Don't need a Chelsea happening.

100%. None of that radical changes when we are in an upward trajectory. If ether Jim or Jass takes over the best move is to have some non-exec Chairman sit on top of things to oversee the investment -- and see if the club's current management is meeting the agreed goals at the start of the takeover.
Just hope they dont put any of their kids into teh business.

I'd be curious if any takeover benefited from sacking everyone there. Newcastle had to sack Bruce but I'm not sure if they sacked anyone else

Ratcliffe has an existing football/sporting management already (headed by Breilfords) Surely there will be ideas of 'land-grabbing' within that group of his if he is to win the bid. It's just corporate politics -- seen it enough in my own corporate career.

Good point. Hopefully they're competent if that's what happens. I'm skeptical of everyone above ETH still even though some of our transfers were good in the last 2 years.
 
Watch Ratcliffe take over United and Qatari owner then buys Liverpool or Spurs this/next year :lol: our fans would be pissed off with that scenario I imagine
Not real fans. Liverpool made success by strong recruitment and putting in the right manager. It’s possible but we need better people at the top and scouts and recruitment. Money ball, please. Money ball over plastic clubs who might just make us PSG

Tbf I am willing to give Arnold & Murtough some rope for now. I am sure there was a learning curve after Woodward's clusterfeck of a decade.

This is some new stuff, nobody I mean nobody has written anything similar to this. Kudos.
 
Tbf I'd love to see Qatar buy Spurs and tell us how they're going to invest $700million on cheese.
 
i’ve always been more of a jassim fan than a united one, so i’ll be off to post on the rising cock if this this one goes through.
 
"They still think we're serious about selling!"

This is perhaps closer to reality than most people think!

Beginning to have nightmares about a possible three-way, 'anyway we lose', out come;

That Glazer's don't sell, they have just been testing the water, are still holding out hopes for an new Super league in Europe where they will have ownership of the 'Golden' Cash-Cow;

Or they sell to Ratcliffe but stay as part owners, let Jim take all the stick from the fans, but still rake in their profit from shares;

Or they sell to Qatar' who want to turn us in to the English version of PSG!/or, they don't sell to Sheikh Jassim and he goes off and buys Spurs or Liverpool !!

A phrase from Dad's Army comes to mind... "We're doomed, doomed a tell yer"
 
If Spurs hit the money lottery, you know what this means...?

Glaston will be back.
 
I don't think Qatar want another football club as much as they want the platform of United. They're not suddenly going to go after Spurs if this fails.

Even if they did, so what? Are we suddenly going to be worse than Spurs? People seem to think unless we get SJ we're absolutely doomed to the lowest pits of hell forever, by the reactions of some on this forum you'd think if SJR takes over we're basically going to be relegation fodder next season and going forward, that we're going to fall so far behind. I don't understand how people can't grasp that we don't need unlimited money - just somebody that can help us with the debt so that we can use our own generated funds to compete, which is more than enough considering FFP etc.

I understand some people want us to be PSG though and sign the likes of Neymar and Mbappe just so they can brag to people on Twitter for likes, despite the fact it will ruin us as a club.
