The post I was replying to was suggesting that a full takeover was the only real takeaway, which honestly seems like a much less likely option at the moment - Radcliffe can't afford to match their current valuation, so we're stuck with the Glazers unless things get so bad they're willing to jump ship. Neither of those outcomes signal anything good for United.

I mean not really pumping us up, they've always stated this was what they wanted to do. It's a shame, Glazers will pocket Sir Jims money nothing will go into the club and we'll be where we are with a crumbling Old Trafford and behind the times training facilities in 10/20 years time.Looks like Qatari are pumping up the fans, to show them what they are missing0..

More protests are needed, we need to put pressure on the Glazers to sell.
With rival bidders made up of a consortium of Paul Chuckle and Justin ‘Mr Tumble’ Fletcher!
Nice, when you going?
Funny post.
Seems strange that the Glazers are happy to write off future business with Qatar, feels like they've been pissing about all along.
It's all so depressing, all three options in truth.

My guess is the whole thing about Glazers being not 100% owners and what to do with the other owners' shares was a big hiccup that Ratcliffe had to deal with so it dragged on and switch to a minority start while he goes through that probably longer process.
Thank feck Qatar fecked off
A spotty kit would look great.
But apparently we should sell our soul to Qatar because if we don't they might buy Liverpool or Spurs instead.
People are going crazy on Twitter. Had they been more than keyboard warriors Glazers would need serious protection.
Parasites find new partial host.
Fans need to stop spending any money and burn this scum out of the club, otherwise we are heading for oblivion.

At the moment, not sure any Arab country would want to do business with them.
Not singing in the Raine then I take it?
Manchester United is bound to stay a place 3-8 team anyway now, 100% that this will be the case at least the next 15 years. I bet my house on it
Why would Ineos inject money in a club they don't fully own? It's basically free money for the remaining 75% shareholders. Makes zero sense.
The club will pretty much remain as it is, with no additional investment or debt clearance whatsoever. Then maybe in few years when Ratcliffe fully takes over something might happen, which we don't really know if he can afford it or not.
Id take that right now as I fear much worse.
True but we got plenty of trophies from 05 to 13. We’re getting absolutely feck all under a Jim.Glazer ownership.
Manchester United is the finished article.
I mean should be wanting this, we have just spent the last 15 years been disgusted that City have had similar lavished on them for no reason other than sportswashing, which is ultimately what this was only ever about with us.Looks like Qatari are pumping up the fans, to show them what they are missing0.

Hmm more like 3-anything. Why can’t we get relegated?
I guess the question is, what voting rights is Jim buying? If I’m not mistaken, glazers had all the voting rights and 25% shares were on the NYSE. So now Glazers presumably have 2/3 voting rights and Jim the remainder?
We have zero knowledge of where that 25% goes. Could go to The Glazers, could be split between Glazers and minority shareholders and it could be all going to minority shareholders, so lets not assume anything.
Also, tell me why he would make only a 25% investment?
This sale process shows a) the Glazers dont want to full sale and b) there is a minute pool of potential buyers. Practically only Sovereign Wealth funds have the money.
So if you take a 25% stake in a business in the hope that you can flip that in the future, then you better be sure that someone will want to buy that stake. This process has showed how difficult it that actually is.
Of course it is. 70 year old man isn't investing to make a profit if and when a bigger fish comes in a buys the whole club for 10+bil. He wants to come in, take control and be lorded as the man who saved Man United.
If he wanted to make a profit, he would continue to do what has already made him the richest man in England.
I am stealing thisGegen depressing
There's no evidence that we would have won any whilst being a state sponsored sport washing project.
Is your house worth splitting between all the people in this thread that'll call bullshit on this?
Then again, you've said 3-8, so your conviction is as good as a Michael Owen expert opinion.
Bunch of promises and yet, Ratcliffe still valued the club more and was willing to go to greater lengths to takeover?Looks like Qatari are pumping up the fans, to show them what they are missing0.

Non stop riots all season please. Disgrace
So they could outvote him, or say if you want to do that you will have to invest your own money.
So what happens to the debt with a full Ineos takeover?
Iv’e heard that they’d pay off £250 million with the remainder paid off by the club.
If that’s true then we are financially fecked from an FFP standpoint, right?

They would inject money because they will own 100% in 3-6 years and have majority control in as little as 1 year. That's what's been reported, you can either believe it or not. If it's true, I think it's a huge win for the club.
If they have a binding path to get control over the club then why wouldn't they?
What INEOS takeover? Jim isn't getting 1% more of the club in his lifetime.
I’m absolutely done with the club, I swore I would never go to OT whilst these leeches were in control, and I saw a glimmer of hope that i would be able to take my son as he has never been. That hope has now gone, I’ll keep the good memories that I still have as this club has no soul. This is not the club that I grew up with and supported for 45 years.
I thought the rumor was they'd transfer it onto themselves, essentially clearing the clubs name?
