Thought it best to start a new thread now the sale is officially completed!

27.7% less Glazer parasite owns the club now, which is always a good thing!

Use this thread for any talk of how you think INEOS are doing, appointments, structural changes, and I guess any Glazer talk if they sell any more of their stake, etc…

Nearly 20 years we’ve waited for something like this.

Wtf is this on the official club site?

A great day.

I wonder how he plans on picking off each sibling - and who’s first?

Still think Jassim is preparing a new bid and this 'FA approval' is just an elaborate smokescreen

Feels so good to have actual competency in charge of the club. Really feels like we're finally getting out shit together.

Feeling truly positive now ..
( I loved the disclaimer further down the statement in relating to any positive words used in regard to footballing matters)

Sir Jim Ratcliffe said: “To become co-owner of Manchester United is a great honour and comes with great responsibility. This marks the completion of the transaction, but just the beginning of our journey to take Manchester United back to the top of English, European and world football, with world-class facilities for our fans. Work to achieve those objectives will accelerate from today.”

Annoying. I was hoping it would be the SEC’s corrective statement about Sheikh Jassim.

Promising signs he's instantly realising the hierarchy is not fit for purpose with some of the initial appointments being put in place hopefully now he's officially announced more takes place. Manchester United should be looking at people who are proven in their role, not just jobs for the boys/mates

I want to see no more dead wood contracts renewed eg Tony - surely it costs more in wages renewing to "preserve value" rather than just accepting the loss and letting the contract run out?

I don't have faith in ETH, and I hope we are planning outside of him and considering candidates. at the very least he must not be allowed to dictate transfers

It'll be interesting to see if he invests anything into renovating OT.

Let's hope it's not yet another false dawn

The bar has been set very low in ownership terms, but still amazing to finally have some hope of a more positive future again.

There's been exciting noises coming out of the SJR camp while this process had been ongoing, here's hoping we start seeing progress now it's been confirmed. Any plans for a new training ground and stadium will be fun to pore over and follow and it seems like he really wants to leave a great legacy at the club and he knows there's no time to waste if he wants to see and revel in it given his age. Of course it takes time to make sure things are done properly but it does seem like we're going to see quite a few things being worked on in tandem so the changes around the club could be quite drastic if the snippets we've been hearing come to fruition.

Nearer my Cas, to thee
You don't tug on Mbappe's shirt
You don't spit on Johnny Evans
You don't make comments about Zinedine's sister
And you don't mess around with Jim
