Agreed 100%.
Hate the Glazers, but Qatari ownership would be ruinous to the soul of our club. We can only hope Brexit Jim can put a decent structure in place and start putting our significant wealth to good use (improved facilities, smarter recruitment etc).
He can hardly do worse than the current lot.
You just don't get it yet do you. United are finished. What you are 'hoping' for won't happen with a 25% minority stake.
This hasn't been a sale, it's been nothing more than a few shares being bought. This stuff happens at companies day-in and day-out. Ratcliffe won't be pumping billions into the club to get it to where it should be as a minority shareholder.
Supporters like you are going to be very, very disappointed over the next ten years when the penny finally drops we're a mid-table team, once and for all.
Young kids don't give a sh*t about history or the Busby Babes, or Munich. Those days are long gone. They are only interested in who's winning, who's at the top and United won't be at the top anymore.
I live near the Essex/London border and I can tell you that once you get past the Spurs, Arsenal and West Ham kits you see on kids, the next ones are City's and Real Madrid. You barely see United shirts anymore and that wasn't the case 10 years ago.
Ratcliffe is too old to get United back to where it needs/should be. Its already too late. There are several clubs ahead of us that have forged on years ago and we aren't catching them up in the next ten years with Ratcliffes minority stake and the Glazers still pulling the strings.
Welcome to your reality check.
