Sir Jim can you loan us Schmeichel...please.
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?
Jimmy bid £4.25 billion for Chelsea.
He has the money sitting burning a hole in his pocket.

And the Glazer's Bucs won the Super Bowl. There are no guarantees in life, but see no reason not to be wildly optimistic if this happens
I understand the reservation but this guy (Radcliffe) is a genuine football fan and he knows what it means to win in the sport.
Neville may spout loads of bullshit but if you follow the facts, he sacks his Salford managers more often than he brushes his teeth.
I am optimistic they won't run it anywhere near as badly as the Glazer rats.
Club refuses to comment
This is on big time
This is on big time
I am one of the most pessimistic people not only on this forum but probably in the world in regards to the Glazer scum ever selling but now even I 100% believe they will sell within a year.
For the love of God please be true

No comment - AKA make us an offer.
Who the feck is this guy
We can dream!!
ITK obviously
That is so
Oh I completely agree. I just hope Jim first phone call is to Holland and VDS after this. Just hire people who are good at their job
This is fairly big, yeah
Yeah, we could do with some Klopp-style exemptions
The Times reported that Ratcliffe wants to buy a stake in the Premier League side’s ownership with a view to taking full control of the club.
“If something like this was possible, we would be interested in talking with a view to long-term ownership,” added the spokesperson for Ratcliffe, who has previously made his interest in United publicly known.
“This is not about the money that has been spent or not spent. Jim is looking at what can be done now and, knowing how important the club is to the city, it feels like the time is right for a reset.”
Manchester United did not comment when asked by The Independent earlier on Wednesday whether the club is for sale.
Meanwhile, the growing belief that the Glazers would listen to offers has seen the club’s share price rise sharply on the US stock exchange.

Seriously?
Why?
How tall is he?
It's over 9000
Woooahh, hang on a second!! This guy is 69 and we're signing him for obscene wages and a 5 year contract?!? Embarrassing and quite frankly plain old stupid from this club 
Can he play as a CDM?
Hope that's true. Glazers out!
Hope that's true. Glazers out!
I have a mole in the glazer camp. They ain't just negotiating with Jimmy Radcliff. I can't name names but I thought I'd just drop a hint in the spoiler below:
"I am surprised no one has tested them with a serious offer in the last few years (that we know about). I think they'd sell the club in a heartbeat if they made a tidy profit because they're clearly not in it for the sporting achievement."
Posted this in the Glazers Out thread, and now I'm feeling like I should buy a lottery ticket...

ooooh don't do this me. I can only get so erect
So Musk knew something?
I want to believe... i truly, truly do...
The nightmare might be coming to an end. Please god let it be true!

I'm sure they are monitoring
Yeah I'm half joking. Neville hopefully is not involved in big decisions. He would be extremely incompetent but at least his heart is in the right place and loves the club. I know nothing about Radcliffe but anything better than the glazers.
I suppose he was also approached as an investor for the minority shares
It will take upwards of £6b for United. He’s worth £13b.
Too big a coincidence .
This is a fake quote.Me too mate!
For sure, amateur hour would be over
There will definitely be internal discussions.
Pocket change. I reckon a deal could be done at £5 billion.
Oh baby, please be true!!
