Agreed. Beats the hell out of any variation of 'Brexit Jim'.I really liked the Sir James Arthur yada yada yada ChemE autocorrect they used to have. Sad they got rid of it.

Anyone know the answer to this i.e. whether SJR is likely to get majority control through further investment and how much autonomy he’ll have in doing thisThis was going to my question - couldn’t find an answer online when this was initially announced on Christmas Eve. So the £300m investment will result in new shares being issued for that value? Any idea what ownership % that would take INEOS to if it’s over and above the initial 25%?
Going forward do you know how further investment and dilution would work in practise? Presumably issuing new shares would require Board approval so does that mean it can be blocked by the Glazers - i.e. if INEOS wanted to invest £2bn into infrastructure is that an open pathway to ultimately gaining majority control?

Delete your post so I posted it first please
I get what you are saying, but a renovation on par with Madrid is the best of both worlds. You retain the atmosphere and character of the ground while improving on the facilities and functionality, although from what I’ve read it seems Old Trafford would be a nightmare in terms of redevelopment due to the current internal layout.It's a joy to visit now.
Invest a few quid in the concourse and the roof, that's what we need.
I don't want a 'great facilities' soulless bowl. I've seen Arsenals ground, even Spurs. Don't even mention West Ham.
36 months with nay dividends
Gone in 3 years?
Lads not funny this - I want the replies please so delete your posts @mods @adminsDon't know if posted yet but 3 years no dividends.
Yes, the sterling equivalent of 300M dollars would go straight in to the club's cash flow from the proceeds of the sale of new shares.This was going to my question - couldn’t find an answer online when this was initially announced on Christmas Eve.

Wow, interesting news, thanks!3 years no dividends is amazing, means no money out of the club and indicates a full sale in potentially 3 years (cash in)
feck yes! Well played uncle Jim!
Boom!3 years no dividends is amazing, means no money out of the club and indicates a full sale in potentially 3 years (cash in)
Very interesting
Hopefully that means never again because they're gone within those 3 years.
Lovely stuff
Don’t hold your breath. It’s all about oil billions and Mbappe.Very interesting
I wonder if a few may change their opinion on this being the ‘worst deal in the world’ for the club upon reading that..
Should have scrolled down and wouldn't need to be hopefully. The signs are all there that they are gone and it's simply a matter of time.
I remember the dark days where it was just Wumminator, me, you and a couple of others fighting the good fight against the armies of Qatar. Now look at us, basking in glory.Lovely stuff
Smacks of a sale in all but name. 3 years without control of the football club and I predict the Glazers will be gone.
NoSo basically INEOS will need to complete a full takeover within 3 years otherwise the Glazers can resume their control?

Absolutely.It does show that the devil is in the detail. But it has been a long 18 years and I would not blame any fan for worrying that the Glazers will (somehow) hang around forever.

See you in the ETH threads!
Agreed, all the new grounds look really similar. They're so soulless and dull.It's a joy to visit now.

"Sir James Arthur" would remind me of that guy who won the X factor a few years ago so hopefully they don't go with that.I really liked the Sir James Arthur yada yada yada ChemE autocorrect they used to have. Sad they got rid of it.

Eh?Absolutely feck off.
I don’t know how you darex
@hobbers in positive post shockerGood news then about sporting control.
Whether Ineos are competent or not at least the one thing we can say from their time at Nice is they ain't afraid to sack an underperforming manager. None of this humming and hawing and throwing seasons away on failed projects.
And no more untouchable players just because Joel is in love with them.
Not sure if that is a typo for Carex or Durex?!! Either way , posts that feel sexual?!!Absolutely feck off.
I don’t know how you darex
A billionaire who isnt in a new project to make money?He’s already committed more than he’s likely to get in return over the years, Glazers “only” made £160m ish for dividends - he isn’t here to make money.
Not sure if he's got me mixed up with one of the pro Qatar crowd or it's the ETH stuff.Not sure if that is a typo for Carex or Durex?!! Either way , posts that feel sexual?!!
