Bit wishy washy with no pledges much different to what we have heard from the Glazers.

I've answered it. His stupid salary makes him empowered to work less on the pitch and ultimately not answer to anyone.
This is reminiscent of when staunch Pogba defenders, perhaps yourself, kept probing for hard evidence on why Pogba has a poor attitude when it was so obvious. And you're doing the same with the PSG dynamic. They change their DoFs, they actually hire shit ones and then re hire them in Leonardo.
They have a stupid wage structure and the petulance of their players on the pitch shows how broken the system is there. Their CEO threatens to kill journalists, they only perform in a one horse league and they underperformed in most CL campaigns.
Pick any one or combination of reasons and move on, happy to discuss in an alternative thread but you won't change my mind which by the way is in the majority, that PSG are poorly run. We have been a circus under Woodward too and Barcelona have been a circus. But I want our new ownership to bring back our old ethos, not one that PSG adopts.
Take away the Manchester born and bred part, and this is exactly how I feel too.
I’m surprised by the massive positivity over a qatar takeover here, but good for y’all I guess, I feel sad.
Manchester united might return to Manchester but I guess sir Jim will remain in Monaco. Tax purposes and all that
Are you throwing in a few bob yourself?
But regulus whatshisface said that Manchester back in Manchester United line was bullshit?
i liked the Ineos statement up until the manchester back in manchester united bit.. cringe!
Yes, i don't give a flying feck about what owners do outside football. I have literally zero issues with that.
Also all this outrage regarding ME ownership is highly amusing for me. Because level of hypocrisy is astonishing.
Fantastic post.
Its alright, I'm just trying to convince myself that when we buy Mbappe it's justice for what happened with Ronaldo
The minute Qatar entered the race it was over. Even if somebody else matches their bid they’ll just up it.
Glazers have been spotted in Qatar a number of times in recent months it’s pretty much a done deal I think.
Shirt sponsor up as well so we’ll soon see Qatar Airways on the front of the kit everything is falling into place for them.

1. Season ticket owner at Stamford Bridge.
2. Already tried to buy Chelsea.
3. Cooperating with JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs.
4. No intention to clear the debt, probably the opposite.
5. Can't even declare his intentions with owning United in an understandable way.
6. Is owner of a company that seriously pollutes the environment.
7. Lives and pays zero taxes in Monaco but declares himself as a local Manchester boy.
Absolutely nothing is appealing when looking at the everything surrounding Ratcliffe and his bid.
From what we learn so far is that he’s ownership would probably be worse than the Glazers. Compared to the other bid from Qatar there’s only one winner. I understand the women’s team and HBQT community and their concerns but I truly believe that they have nothing to fear. Maybe I’m naive but I think that the women’s team will benefit more from being owned by a group who want to gain some world wide goodwill and show that they want to be part of the modern world.

Ineos wants a “majority ownership” of the club, as opposed to the “100%” ownership by the Qatari. I think this means that Ineos would only buy whatever shares that’s held by the Glazers, while the 30 odd percent shares currently floated in NYSE would still be there, held by minority share holders.
So you are basically in the business of making things up. I get it now.
Because its still a multi billion euro squad that has a huge amount of talent. It will take a huge investment.
Does every rich owner of a club has to pump money into it and try to turn it into City/PSG?
What’s not to love about that?
Does anyone seriously think these manifestos are gonna make a jot of difference to the Raine Group/Glazers evaluation of the bids? I know why these are being pushed out by the Ineos/Qataris but I feel like fan sentiments on who we want as owners will not matter a jot to Raine/Glazers.

Don't disagree with much of what he says about Qatar but the hypocrisy is embarrassing.

Oh well there it is, very disappointing statement in my opinion. It’s like brexit all over again

I don't think it will matter at all. I think they're just for the fans, in the event that the bid is successful.
Hmmm.., unless I've missed any updates regarding the ineos bid it reads like they won't wipe the debt
Very true. Outside of preferences if you weigh up what the individual owners are proposing Ratcliffe is coming up woefully short.
Even in his official statement "we would want to invest". That line alone is filled skepticism. Nothing about INEOS breeds confidence they seem to assume that being British is something an average fan desires. If fans could support a team that has been gazumped financially by the Glazers who in the world cares for a British owner. Owner sentiments starts and ends on the pitch in this regard. Nothing more nothing less.
It's not racist to say black mate.
I held my hands up, athough…. Where is the original source for this?
Can’t find anything on Athletic, INEOS site, INEOS twitter or a real media outlet?
Edit: tis on Skysports
You can tell why these states engage in sportswashing reading the last couple of paragraphs on that City piece.
Tagline checks out
There will have been more bidders who aren't releasing statements about it.
So does this means the Ineos majority (66%) bid of £4B is bigger than the Qatar 100% offer.
Qatar would have to up their offer to £6B to complete the purchase
“Majority ownership”, would open the doors the the reluctant Glazer siblings to hold on to their shares. GET feckED.
To be fair that line is so silly that your initial take was sensible. I don't know what to think about Ineos owning United.
Also United's wealth and success is largely due to international support, so the tone of the communicate is a bit dubious for someone like myself.
The other bid is much better for the club, pretty simple really.
Majority ownership is a red flag and we all know he’s taking loans out to secure the club. Feck that.
His French side is apparently a complete farce as well. No thanks.
Anybody wanting this over Qatar must be absolutely mental.
Indeed.
David Conn has written some good stuff about City but generally the Guardian have ignored the ownership and fawned over the football.
For a paper of their political slant, it's been disgraceful.
Aye, does sound like a Brexit soundbite the whole thing. Bit of a nothing statement.
I'd take Ineos and debt ahead of Qatar/SA any day.
