The twitter fans should never be taken seriously and protesting against a potential anything is stupid and counter productive...

Do you not think going on a bit of a charm offensive is all part of course with things like this?
You're saying protesting in general is stupid?
Of course they don't because like the vast majority of this thread they are leading with emotions and coming off as absolute puddings.
No? Protesting is a great thing and should be protected but protesting against rumours and hearsay is stupid.You're saying protesting in general is stupid?
I'm not surprised going by some of the truly idiotic things I've seen on twitter about them and on here too.
Or maybe they actually are decent people when you meet them (no matter how shit they have been in their business dealings and when it comes to United). It's not all black and white, even if people want to think of them as villains from old-style films.
That's not what you said
Yes it is.
I never said protesting in general is stupid. The word potential is there.
How on earth is protesting against a potential new owner stupid? That is an utterly bizarre take.
You generally want to build good relations with the people you are trying to buy something from. The young sheikh and his cohorts could learn from that.
Well whatever, people will say what they need to do at times whether it's true or not, which is the point I was making.
I also doubt very much that they are decent people, unless they are getting what they want of course.
Like when they met with the Glazers in Qatar?
John Reece and Andy Currie I believe and they have that because Sir Jim have them 20% they are not in a position to tell him what to do.
Because it's based on nothing but feelings and lies spewed here /twitter as fact.
Suggest you go back to lying to folk about shit you never knew.
I see Qatar's final bid as last desperate attempt to win a losing battle. They wouldn't have increased their bid if they were in strong position.
In my 42 years I’ve been called a lot of things but never a pudding so thanks for that haha. I think both sides are leading with emotions coming from different perspectives. The ratcliffe stans are just as emotional not wanting SJ. Both sides are being lead with emotions which is pretty normal in this sort of situation.
What is?
When the news came out ages ago about Aries looking at minority investment and fans protested that you consider that stupid?
I agree, I'm neither side as I've said many times on here I just want Glazers out and I'm happy to proceed with either SJ or SJR as I firmly believe in either to get the club going in the right direction.
If Jim wins a perfect world would be that he hires the best in class to run the club on a day to day basis and we can use Nice and the Swiss club as sister clubs to produce talent.
The thought of using Nice to try and get the best talent in France is really exciting……then you remember they’ve been awful and rather than go for some young impressive French players they signed Ross Barkley, Aaron Ramsey and Kasper Schmeichel
Absolutely fecking clueless.

That's the bit that's always worried me. I accept Ratcliffe could be a genuine fan that wants to spend some of his significant personal wealth on the club he loves, Jack Walker-style, but what's the odds of the other two being the same? I'd love it if he is bidding as a fan and not as a business, but I don't suppose we'll find out unless he wins.
In any event the bidding seems to be going pretty much as expected up to now. The Qataris want to be seen not to overpay, they have stayed in long enough to push Ineos to their maximum, and now they've put in what they believe will be the winning bid.
No one knows how much that is, lots of guesses, assumptions, and click-bait, but we haven't a clue in reality. Find out Friday I hope.
What a great way to lose all shareholders’ confidence.
Are you sure it was with Jassim's people? If it's the photo I'm thinking of, it was posted by dubious accounts with ties to Qatar.
No because minority investment isn't potential change it's more of the exact same with the same people in control.
SJR or SJ have to be given a fair crack of the whip before fans cry about it.
Is that that black, steak and kidney or a dessert type pudding?
You mean the two shareholders he literally made into billionaires
You mean like the protest against the potential European super league? Wasn’t so stupid or counter productive?
For me it has to be dessert, not into offal.
Ok good shout BUT we knew the outcome of that potential, anything about INEOS/SJR is pure emotion led tripe.
That wasn't the determinant factor for the protest though. It was fans protesting against the Glazers being given a potential way to remain in control. That is far from stupid.
The fans hammered the company online and they quickly came out with a denial.
Taking the fact he already bid for Chelsea as a season ticket holder and fan into account he’s obviously very big on being a fan and now wants to be a fan of Manchester United again. It’s not a business move at all.
We knew from day one it removed them from control.
Anyway I am becoming to vocal in this thread and I don't want to so I will bid you good night and return to just reading.
But you said protesting against potentially anything is bad. Not specifically Ratcliffe. That's my point of contention obviously. I think that's a pretty weird statement to make.
I'm partial to a steak and kidney one myself, haven't had one in years because you can't get them where I am now, pudding chips and gravy was a favourite after a night on the bevvies back in the day
Yep, wrong I was.. my head was just in the takeover not the wider impact of said statement.
Fair enough.
Jail?I'm partial to a steak and kidney one myself, haven't had one in years because you can't get them where I am now, pudding chips and gravy was a favourite after a night on the bevvies back in the day
someone ship this man some piesNope, the US doesn't do steak and kidney puddings, or if they do I've never seen them anywhere, could do with some good pies as well, cheese and onion, meat and potato etc - pies here are bloody desserts!Jail?
You have great taste.
Blueberry pie, strawberry pie, banana pie.
