Sir Jim Ratcliffe: I want to buy Manchester United | Will make a bid for the club [Telegraph]
- Thread starter altodevil

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss United's thrilling but ultimately disappointing 3-3 draw with Galatsaray. They talk Onana, our fading hopes of getting out of the group, and whether we want Europa League football or not.
They also discuss a comfortable (?) win at Everton and probably don't spend long enough talking about THAT goal and Kobbie Mainoo.
Finishing with a look ahead to a punishing December schedule which will make or break the season.

Can't afford to get my hopes up... again.
I'll be honest, I will believe it when it happens. In general I am extremely pessimistic about our future
Please?
That's interesting. It's a suspect investment but it's not my money. 
Ive been hurt before...
Hello! I feel a movement...
To quote the classic retro FIFA commentary "PUSH IT IN"
Things are happening?
My penis works?
Getting HAWT!
Oh baby now we're talking.
We have to seize this momentum.

He talked a good game a couple of times in the past when he 'tried' to buy Chelsea but that's all it was, just talk. I'd take it with a pinch of salt until he starts actually following through on what he says.
hot hot hot
Mental time to be a United supporter at the moment, so much apparently going on.
Hope Jim’s interest is genuine.

Have you tried to unplug it?
Don't think he ever wanted Chelsea.
This is a thread that would deserve our best muppetry effort when you think about what kind of impact this would have for United
Is he rich than the new chelsea owner?
Hope something materialises but not holding my breath
ETH’s stubbornness over wanting FDJ is gonna end up in the Glazers selling the club. Genius.
Twerking for billionaires.
Where's me commies?

It's the new muppet thread! Welcome, friends! (don't worry, FDJ is still on!)
Knowing our luck, he will be at his desk and he will do a "Chris feather" and keel over just before signing the contract for full control.
Please be true!
No.
To have the words Football Club put back on out badge would be one of the greatest feelings ever as a Manchester united fan
I'd prefer them gone full stop to be honest. I can see them selling a minority stake to someone like him, using the money to invest in the stadium / placate some fans, and then just continue on the way they have been for another 5-10 years.
What actual power would he have?

Like I said in the other thread - this has been building. One week ago the very same journalist who got this exclusive did a puff piece about how he’d be a great owner. He got his name out there with the Chelsea bid which had zero chance of success and said the only reason he wasn’t buying us was due to us not being for sale. Fan momentum behind this is going to be huge - the time has come - they’ll take the money and go.
Really?
A 10s Google search says Ratcliffe is worth 2-3 times as much
Who dis?
He doesn't have to be
I didn’t follow the Chelsea sale closely, why did he have zero chance of that going through?
Doesn't really have to be. Just clear the debt and stop taking money out of the club and we will be golden.
That's because you looked at Boehly instead of Clearlake Capital.
Fingers crossed!
