You’re all going to end up so very disappointed.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe: I want to buy Manchester United | Will make a bid for the club [Telegraph]
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I so hope this is true but I'm not getting my hopes one bit with this club.
I would go with Neville
I'll start supporting the Ineos Grenadiers if this becomes reality!!! TY Sir!
The pessimist in me see's this thread reaching a 1000 pages (like the De Jong one) before it eventually fizzles out into nothing. But for now I'll dream.
Why do people think it's Beckham when G Nev just last week was hyping up the Glazers out chat?!
Surely this wouldn't be talked about and Sir Jim going public if he hadn't gotten a brief that the vultures were interested in selling.
The 1%'ers probably have a WhatsApp group for memes and acquisitions.

They've gone from being the Bayern in their sport to a Liverpool - very good but just cannot win the big prizes.And yet it's happening to them, the first year after new rules that help the other cars improve came in
We're closer to a McLaren, not even a Ferrari
Please let this be true! We really need to keep pushing with the glazers out signs and protests/boycotts, etc hopefully it will push them to sell. Also they need to invest in the stadiums/players, and debt, so most likely it’s a business decision and not because of the fans, but we can only help the case.
God if he pulls this off
I'm giddy. Hold me.
Surely can’t be THIS much smoke without a significant fire
I've read this a few times; we're relied more on debt and not made a surplus in years.
I would say it’s Neville tbh
Probably because, a) the super league collapsed so Glazers expected big jump in revenue went down the pan, b) We're actually starting to see a fall in revenue consistently.. We couldnt match the chevvy deal, and even Teamviewer are saying they've overpaid and the Addidas deal is coming to an end and we probably won't get near that again, not to mention we're looking for seasons without CL football. c) As revenue goes down, interest rates go up, it'll be harder for them to service the debt and invest to get those revenue back up.
Probably means the club is prime position to being sold and Glazers are probably going to ask for a more realistic valuation.
CMON JIMBOB!
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
Is he good?
I'm sceptical whether he has the money to invest in the club, if he doesn't he will end up buying the club with a loan and will be no different than the Glazers with the extortionate interest payments.
Rat tail to Ratcliffe. Dare we dream?
Jim’ll Fix It.
Pictured Beckham as a profile they could use in the 'new' United, but I see why many say Neville.
There’s definitely a fire here. Monday night needs to be another huge push. Protests and social media trends.
Pictures of the consortium at a meeting apparently
He's changed his mind because of our preseason win against Liverpool and the FDJ muppetry.
Actually.... Has anyone ever seen Ratcliffe and @Berbaclass in the same room at the same time? Food for thought...
Is this guy reliable? I don’t want to get too excited.
I really hope the pressure rachets up on the Glazers from pundits / rest of ex United players.
Just point out all the flaws over the past 10 years. All the money they took out of the club.
How we're about to get overtaken by City for number of fans in the US. How the commercial revenue growth is tapped out.
Maybe there's a possibility.

Giggsy at it with the controlling and coercive behaviour again.
I'm hard
Great news!
Though he's also a stingy bastard but as long as he doesn't suck the club dry we should be alright .

If Ineos are also involved it's a lot more interesting.
I'm not sure I agree with those saying "we generate plenty of revenue"
we're not as strong financially as we used to be, the cash reserves are depleted, we need a lot of investment in the stadium, and the team is fecking miles off
we could use a bit of investment to bring us up to scratch
its kinda a moot point as whoever comes in needs to run things better anyway
but to say there's plenty of money flying around isn't that true anymore
the covid hit and all the oil money inflating prices and wages has changed things
and to be clear, someone coming in and clearing the debt, whilst not taking divs and running things sensibly will be a vast vast improvement and I'd be delighted with that

At this point, it's too much smoke for there to be no spark, even a fire.
where did you get that from?
I know some guys
@Berbaclass
@Brownie85
Let's do this.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Monday Night Football will be interesting anyway. I hope fan pressure on Glazers continues.
The Glazer ownership costs us circa £50m a season. It basically allows us to buy another AWB every season.
We'll external investment to actually go anywhere, and the club to be run more cleverly on the pitch.
I do like the idea of a ruthless yet benevolent chairman. Someone like a Florentino Perez.

BANHe’s just tweeted he was joking
