Fecking love ratGive it to Giggsy til the end of the season.
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.fair enough. There again consortiums are in it for the money. Ratcliffe might enter football out of his love for the game. He is a Manchester United supporter after all.
Not sure what would have changed for him if he actually goes for it. Probably easing in with minority share and eventually taking over.Asked whether he would be interested in a move for United, Ratcliffe told the Times : "Not at the moment, no. They are in quite a big pickle as a business.
"(Ineos) never wants to be the dumb money in town, never, never."
"They haven't got the manager selection right, haven't bought well," Ratcliffe said of United. "They have been the dumb money, which you see with players like Fred.
"We won't look elsewhere until we have had a good run here (at Nice). We need to find out how to be successful before you ever want to write a big cheque. It's quite difficult."
He added that United have "lost the plot" since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
"United have spent an immense amount since Ferguson left and been poor, to put it mildly. Shockingly poor, to be honest," Ratcliffe said.
"We have a different approach here to be moderately intelligent about it. Try to do it more grass roots, trying to locate young talent.
"Some clubs seem to have an ability to do that, Southampton , Lille. United have done it really poorly. They have lost the plot there somehow."
And Giggs is also a bad oneFecking love rat
Well it could only be Beckham surely so why not say it?Tweet

I thought of Neville actuallyWell it could only be Beckham surely so why not say it?
Why would it be only Beckham?Well it could only be Beckham surely so why not say it?
why would it be Beckham? Someone else was on TV this week telling them its time to sell the clubWell it could only be Beckham surely so why not say it?
Can only be him or Neville actually he's shown feck all interest in United. Has to be nevilleBecks?
He wouldn't need to, The club generates enough to spend to keep up with anyone, it would be how he runs usHas Sir Jim Ratcliffe got enough money with 12B to compete with City? I'm just not sure.
Rest of them are either weird or cnuts, or in some cases, both.Why would it be only Beckham?
I immediately thought of Neville, to be honest.Well it could only be Beckham surely so why not say it?
Well it has been very clear that Man Utd has not been for sale mate,that maybe has changed.Before we get too excited, this was him a few years ago:

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.No one should care.
All we need is someone who isn't going to take money out the club like the current parasitic family.
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.Let's be real here, he will be spending very little of his own money.
No chance it's Giggs for obvious reasons.Why would it be only Beckham?
And yet it's happening to them, the first year after new rules that help the other cars improve came inToto studied United’s post Fergie downfall to try and avoid it with Mercedes
Obvious Neville, most vocal one against the Glazers.Becks?
SameI thought of Neville actually
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.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.
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
Please god yesTweet

Definitely Neville. When he said at the weekend it’s time - sell the club - he spoke like he knew there was a bid.I thought of Neville actually
