The time for that was in 2005 and he did nothing then. It's too late for Fergie to exert any influence even if he wanted to. Let him enjoy his retirement.
Club Sale | It’s done!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I agree - Fergie’s silence both pre and post-retirement hasn’t sat well for me.
It is surreal to think United are in this mess because of what started as an argument over a horse. Or if I recall correctly, the horse's cum specifically.
for the love of god just feck off already you absolute useless wankers
4 new pages? Lovely
Did one of the Orc siblings buy a horse or something?

I do WANT to understand it, please enlighten me.
Yeah, that is insane.
Are they actually selling at this point? It almost feels like they’re hoping we’ll all forget they said they would sell us. Farcical
thanks good people
Isn't he a member of the board? Why would he speak out in that case?
That's just state of this place. I'm not at all surprised.
I'm assuming it's taking so long because the deal with INEOS is very complicated?
I had a dream we were sold on transfer deadline day. It's something the Glazers would unashamedly do.
I think the simplest explanation is the correct one - it's the glazers. We've seen how long they take to close any deal.
In general acquisitions like this one takes time. Also the Glazers are experts in squeezing the life out of this club.
cnuts
Because the Glazers want absolute maximum coin for whatever shares they’re selling
Happened to city didn’t it? Or close to it anyway
My memory of it is hazy but I think you're right.
Horse seman is actually very lucrative in the world of horses.
Biggest club in the world brought to its knees by some horse cumCitys time will end, eventually. Probably not by horse cum, and certainly not by 115 counts of cheating, but something will get them
Username checks out
If it's Ratcliffe that's successful then financing agreements are going to have to be finalised. Borrowing billions of pounds isn't as simple as increasing an overdraft on a current account. It takes time.
Very close, they just had time to sign Robinho on deadline day. I think the late take over was because the Thai guy (former prime minster?) who owned was forced to suddenly sell as his assets were all frozen due to corruption charges in Thailand.
Correct we don't, which works both ways.
So stating he's in poor health as fact is wrong.
It really is.
Quite revealing they'll each defend Qatar to the bitter end.
Gary Neville has been lauded. Anyone who seen his HIGNFY embarrassment should notice his gimmick, at this stage.
Loved him as a player, but he didn't preach about the Glazers whilst accepting their coin, which is what he has done with Qatar.
The Glazers were buying shares long before legal action and long after it was settled out of court.

Cubic increased their shares during countersuing Ferguson and again after it was settled. They sold up to the Glazers over a year later.
The 'Rock of Gibraltar' angle has little to do with Glazerite rule.
To see it being used to justify Qatar's state bid is just pathetic.
I think that’s where we are at now. For whatever reason they seem convinced the clubs value is set to rocket and are having a hard time giving up that potential. Of course, whether that potential is ever met is up to whoever takes control which I guess is the gamble.
The offer from Sir Jim puts more cash in their pockets now, with the sweetener of a payout in years to come too. Hopefully that’s enough for them to cede control.
Indeed. Next they will want the trinity statue torn down because none of them have spoken out against the Glazers. Yes one’s dead and the other two have dementia but they should still be leading riots against the owners and Besty should have ‘glazers out’ on his headstone.
They have never said they ’would’ sell us. It’s just one of many investment options being considered.
If the Glazers can squeeze an extra penny out of this deal they will. They are money hungry trust fund babies that were born into wealth. They couldn't give two fs about what happens to this club
Genuinely shocked he didn’t break an NDA to answer a shouty reporter
The problem is that it's getting too banal, it's time to decide what to do and at least name the preferred bidder. The season is gone, the final is also over, what are they waiting for, I can't understand anymore. I don't know if there are such parasites anywhere else in the world, I can't believe how pathetic they are.
Decide what you are going to do and act, the transfer market is in front of us, next season is extremely important, Ten Hag has already said more than once that he wants the signings before the pre-season starts and what his budget will be for them, оnly creatures like the Glazers could do anything so slow and sluggish, regardless of what nature they are !
Big day tomorrow. (6/6)
Berba said previously that Qatar tend to 'brief' info on a Monday, with Ratcliffe doing it on a Friday.
Now the season is over, it's a BIG Monday
Now the season is over, it's a BIG Monday
I’m really struggling to understand your English with this rant, the simple truth is as follows;
1. The Glazers are yet to make their minds up.
2. They have direct communication with SJ and want £6 billion
3. SJR put and call bid is worth more but will take longer for them to receive the cash
4. They also own 4.3% of the remaining ‘A’ shares collectively which are clearly valued at an additional $200m by SJ
5. The reason why both parties have offered nearly $34 per share is to take control of the capital assets, Squad, Land TV contracts etc.
6. The reality is when you look at the huge debt the club owes to the bank and amortised transfers for these assets it reduces the overall value of the club because you are starting at - $1billion owed to banks and other football clubs!
When Chelsea was sold, the £1.5bn owed to Abrahamovic was written off by the outgoing owner so the incumbent owner was able to spend copious amounts of money on average football players!
7. The club is currently registered in the Cayman Islands for the benefit of the Glazers, should they be stupid enough to allow SJR to control 50.01%, he can easily move the clubs registration to Monaco where he currently lives, Gibraltar as a Uk resident or worse the UK. If he does this then any future draw down payments to the greedy goblins may incur Capital gains tax! This is a stumbling block and they want absolute assurances that registration will not change built into a hugely complexed contract already.
8. All parties are under strict NDA contracts and therefore don’t believe what you read in media, especially the Uk ones
9. The reality is both bids are much closer than fans and the media thinks but neither are anywhere near the £6 billion the Glazers want to sell all their shares now in an economy about to go into recession.
If there's no news in the next few days then I fear this won't be completed before the start of next season.
It's a bit like a family of 6 being left a house by mum and dad.
Four want to sell and get their money now whilst the other 2 want to keep it, do it up a bit and rent it out for a while.

I just did with that reply, guess you only read the last few words and got offended.
Feel free to do your research and take look at the actual numbers, though. It's a super high-risk and super low-reward investment for Ineos if they're only thinking about the potential profits.
Put they want someone else to do it up for them and pay for all the renovations then reap the benefits of the higher value
So...is the 92 backed by the Qatar government or are they just not that loaded? @Messier1994 has me confused.
