Unfortunately any other option but a oil state or a Musk type character and it will just be more of the same for you guys and you will never catch up. That’s the stark reality of the situation.

People are so uneducated still on the reliability of journos. It amazes me. Luckhurst is a good, solid source.

Not really. The club makes more than enough on its own to be competitive. It hasn’t been allowed to unleash that potential because of the owners.

Are the usual sports journalists even good sources for something like this? Wouldn't the financial experts be more likely to have an understanding or even some info on the situation?

Aha! I actually heard he was interested about two years ago from a colleague that has a good connection to the club but he didn't know any more than there was a genuine interest. I'm sure we can count on this one as being real.

If the likes of Apple, Ortega and Dubai are genuinely interested then Ratcliffe has no chance, the man is a measly pauper next to these names.

No doubt he'll make a late meaningless bid for some clout though.

This sale will be so big I’d expect it to be covered from both angles. Wouldn’t surprise me if sports journos are working with the finance guys for the inside scop.

He wouldn't be bidding as JR though it would be INEOS surely? And even so they only have to match the fee?

Bunch of Reddit football fans made those tiers. Means feck all
Amazes me people buy it. Whitwell, Luckhurst etc basically anyone on the Man Utd beat are always going to be reliable. They don’t post nonsense.

All I can see is the original report coming from The Star so sounds like bollocks to me, can’t for the life of me see why they would be interested in a football club.
