The ecstasy of winning a trophy maybe lasts a day or two. Topping the Deloitte money list will last at least until the next one come out!Personally I’d rather win football trophies, but each to their own I guess!!
Club Sale | It’s done!

To be fair, it's probably the most important league given what football is about these days.
Wonder if Ratcliffe will publicise his next bid?
Will Ratcliffe even make a second bid? Its one thing swinging your dick, its another when Qatar put about 5 billion on the table.
Wasn't Ratcliffe's first bid bigger than Qatar's given that it was only for a percentage?
That's a lot of dicks!
It's happening. I can't control my sheikhs.
Gas me up daddy
Jassim buying the club, hiring a really strong CEO and mostly staying out of the picture in public would be a best case scenario imo. Far better than the current Chelsea shit showSomething else he is not doing himself personally…… master of delegation this guy!
We are discussing on the little we know and on the Qatari/ineos football track record. If new info comes out then everyone is free to change opinion. For example I was pro SJR up until Jassim bid came in. If a better option comes in or SJR comes with something better then jassim then I switch. I am pro man utd and I want its best. I can't care less about the owners and quite frankly I never liked our owners in the first place
Some want to add the moral issue to it which is fair enough but it does become tired after reading the same post again and again. I only care about the football side of it.
I don't mind to applaud a person who comes with a valid argument as kinsella did not long ago. As said my loyalty lie with the club, nothing else
Worst nightmare for the last 18 years going to end soon, fingers crossed!
Sheikh, rattle and roll yourself outta here.
“Oh Deloitte, Deloitte!Top of the deloitte list.
Whatever will be, will be.
Financial Superiority!
Oh Deloitte, Deloitte!”
Catchy!
Are you wobbling
I don't think anyone is knowledgeable in all those sports. How can you be an expert in both F1 and football? Thus you should have different experts per branch. Hence why bike guy shouldn't be taking football decisions especially considering his chequered reputation. Quite frankly the likes of him and moody shouldn't be in involved in sports as a whole yet somehow they are rated at ineos. I wonder whyIneos don’t own a football club there, but hey, don’t let that stop you
One thing I will ask you though @devilish, considering you bang pn about ”bike guy” every single day.
Who do you feel would be more suited to the role of INEOS sports sporting director? A role that incorporates cycling, F1, Sailing, Rugby, Football & Running? Would a football guy somehow be better suited
Simple question
Does anyone here think, against the consensus, that INEOS could yet outbid Sheikh Jassim's team?

This is basically back to the days when Glazers were not here.
We were debts free, best infrastructures, best in class SAF and top the Deloitte list. Then the rats came.
I think only Qatar bid is able to bring us back to where we should be without the leeches sucking us dry and destroy the club
Yes, given that he only seems to be bidding for 69%.
Exactly.
Which is probably why they employed Florent as Nice Sporting Director and have experts running each branch.
Now can you give the nonsense a rest.
If you are already borrowing 4 billion from wall street what's an another decades debt to make it 5?
I think that depends on the backing Jassim has. If it’s genuinely a private bid, funded by family money then there is every chance.
If he is simply a front for a state buyout then it’s hard to see them allowing themselves to be outbid.

Bike man was one of the people SJR brought to United and he was quite involved at Nice. SJR seem to like to surround with the wrong type of people or/and cnuts. He also allowed his brother to manage lausanne and he employed a racist as external investor. It really makes you question what sort of man SJR is and how serious he is in football
Ha 69. What a legend.
The timing for Qatar is perfect especially with the TeamViewer situation.
We could get a £150m a year contract with Qatar Airways or something, and that'll ease the FFP trouble we're in the near future. If we get our shit together in the next 2 seasons, the Adidas deal is up for renewal as well and that could also legitimately break £100m a season.

"I can't Sheikh".
Glazers must have an incredibly tight NDA in place. Would have expected at least a formal interview with the BBC or Times by this stage from both the Qatar and Goldman Sachs bids.
All that 100% stuff was a bit misleading. Both parties are only bidding for the Glazers 69% controlling interest of the club. Once they own the majority of the club they can then decide if they want to go about purchasing the other 31% of shares.
We could cicumvent ffp by paying players a lot more off the books through projects in Qatar, which would make us much more competetive in the transfer market. What's not to like?
Do we even know if Shiekh Jassim actually exists? though does it really matter as it's certainly not him buying the club of he does exist
We can get our shit together but it may not results in a consistent flow of silverware. The top-end of league will become even more competitive in the next few years.
We can only hope that we are competing for titles and silverware consistently. So I doubt if we can get like £100mill from Adidas.
There's also that option too. Good stuff all around
Fair enough, thanks.
we can cook the books basicallyThe Glazers can refuse a bid even if it's the most advantageous. Thus it's wise by all parties involved not to irk them
This thread has finally put to bed that it’s just bluemoon with its eccentric posters.

He is a figment of everyone's imagine. Fake scammer. In fact the Raine Group guys are fake too.
