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

I hope regardless of the outcome we see a return to winning ways. Genuinely feel sorry for the new fans who never got to see us win. I'm rooting for Sheikh Jassim, but I wouldn't hold out much much - its pretty much copium like the kids say these days.

Ratcliffe is offering to retain two of the Glazers who still have interest in the club will be seen as an attractive proposal. The key stroke in my view was Keegan also reporting on Friday evening that it was INEOS that had taken the lead which The Times corroborated one day after The Sun
Too much smoke without any substance you know

Speaking of the Times, there was an article regarding Ratcliffe's ownership of sporting institutions:



What should worry United supporters is Ratcliffe’s record in sport. In November 2017 he bought FC Lausanne-Sport, who played in the Swiss Super League. It was, he later said, a dipping of his feet in the water. That season, Lausanne were relegated. Through the six seasons of Ratcliffe ownership, Lausanne have yo-yoed between the top divisions and are in the second tier.
Two years after buying Lausanne, Ratcliffe paid €100 million (£88 million) for the Ligue 1 club Nice. “The ambition is to reach Ligue 1’s top four and regularly reach (Champions League) within three to five years,” said Bob Ratcliffe, Jim’s brother and the chief executive of Ineos Football. “Without spending too much money on expensive transfers of players,” he added.

Perhaps the most telling of all Ratcliffe’s investments was the 2019 purchase of Team Sky, the cycling team that had won six of the previous seven editions of the Tour de France. Two months later, Egan Bernal won the Tour wearing the team’s new Ineos jersey. Since then, Ineos Grenadiers cycling team have dropped down the rankings and haven’t enjoyed anything like the dominance that Team Sky once had at the Tour.

At this point i'm beginning to care less and less who is the new owner as long as the debt is gone and the Glazers are gone. We need it sorted quickly so we can be prepared to carry out summer business.
