Credible media outlets told us we would be sold by March this year....yet here we are at the end of October "waiting to see".
No, they said Raine were TARGETTING March this year, and then they said it was pushed back.
You are basically saying that against every reliable journalist out there and Ratcliffe's own business acumen, that he'd spunk a minority investment from which he has nothing to gain from a footballing perspective.
I get you want to wait and see, but don't assume the most far fetched scenarios in the meantime.
He’s right though. We have to wait and see. It’s clear that nothing definitive has been agreed at this stage, hence the discussion has even been pulled from today’s board meeting. All we are hearing is INEOS PR - there is no indication, so far, that the Glazer’s are anywhere near agreeing to it.
I think the fact that Ratcliffe's proposal is heading toward a board vote means they have an agreement on the direction. Just because the board vote hasn't yet taken place, doesn't mean we can't insinuate the very evident direction of travel.
That’s not going to happen ffs. Final decision will sit with Joel. If Sir James Arthur Ratcliffe FIChemE wants final decision he will need to fully buy out the Glazers. Until that day comes (and I don’t think it will) Mr 25% is not in charge.
What do you mean it's not going to happen? Every credible journalist has said it, and the Glazers are in it more for commercials than to play fantasy football. You can't just bury your head in the sand, the Mr 25% isn't getting you anywhere. That's a huge amount if the 25% consists of the high power voting rights.
Yeah Joel may be on the board, yeah hel have a say, but his influence is severely lowered if the other 2 are INEOS.
