Jim Ratcliff has “wallsteet backing” financed to the tilt… accepting it could be the Glazers last way of decking us over.

This has been signed and sealed for a while hasnt it?
I think so. They'll bid higher if necessary as well I think.
They are being careful in presenting this deal as private investment. Abu dhabi deal for Mancity and PSG deal by QSI were mentioned directly as State investment if i remember correctly
Yup, in fact just saw a translated qatari article where they specially refer to the issues in bidding directly using QIA/QSI

Da feck is a British bid?
British bid from the guy who wanted Brexit and doesn't actually reside in the country, let alone the region. Peak billionarie hypocrisy, Elon Musk style.

I think it's naive in the extreme to believe nearly anything the Qataris say. They might preach to be Utd fans and they'll give you this spiel about investing in the club but it's really just PR to try and win over fans. These people talk about investing in the women's team despite the fact their record of treating women is absolutely horrendous. Why would anyone believe a word they say?
They actually treat women very well. Let’s not source the Daily Mail shall we.

It doesn't say anything about Ratcliffe paying off the debt that's within the club though or would that be included within the bid?

Everything about Ratcliffe’s bid so far has warning signs of not really changing our situation much. Debt is debt, wrapping it INEOS gift paper doesn’t inspire confidence.

You can apply that to anyone. That's why it's called PR

Somewhat confused why a different Qatar organisation owning PSG is supposed to be a huge issue. But the other prospective buyer openly owning two teams personally is getting much less attention from a legal pov

These are the guys responsible for the human rights violations in building the world cup. All is forgiven, as sportswashing is alive and well in the city of Manchester.
Another reason we can't let you win it this year. Won't hear the end of how you did it the right way and all that sanctimonious crap

As much as we hate the Glazers they still have the clubs best interest at heart. (I would hope after owning it for the better part of 2 decades) & I doubt they’d want to feck us over. If anything they’d want the most money. Which Qatar would provide.

May we please have more morality lessons from people who have never even visited the middle east? Haven't had enough the last couple of pages.

Not sure how the Americans have got away with owning so many clubs in the league already to be honest.
