This will be the best thing to happen to United since Ferguson took charge. The end of the Glazers reign of incompetence cannot come soon enough
Sir Jim Ratcliffe: I want to buy Manchester United | Will make a bid for the club [Telegraph]
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
The way this man talks is even the same on Twitter. Overload of emoji's and capslock is quite fitting in that regard really.Wrong. How much of their own money have they put in? How much have they made? They haven't put any of their money and made 200m$ in addition to whatever they will when they sell.

Eh? The Glazers?
Why would they do that?Is ratcliffe a United fan?
I'd like to believe it is
To be fair it could be.
If anything it will encourage the protests which is why Ratcliffe has gone public today.
I'm not sure about Radcliffe. We aren't as rich as we use to be.
There is significant investment required to bootstrap us back into becoming a commerical behemoth.
Anything is better than the Glazers I suppose.

Genuine or not, this is how I imagine he'd be on twitter
I don’t think this will take long at all. A few weeks at most. When things start move it’ll happen quickly. This has none of the complications of the Chelsea deal. A private sale could happen in 24 hours.
Ah yes the guy that was posting quotes from RedCafe as if he wrote them. I’m sure he has inside information.
That's entirely irrelevant. They have a ~$5bn asset and make less than $20m a year in dividends
The difference is, Radcliffe would likely care about the club. The Glazers never have cared, and never will care
Yes
Touche. As long as he hires the right people for the job we should be fine. Murtogh and co can feck off
Not sure I trust too much of what Knighton says but let's hope so.
Yes he is an Ole inner though allegedly
I am fairly certain I have the onset of CTE from the major concussion I suffered at the protests in 2005.
It now finally feels like it might be worth something. I'm almost a mess.
just seems very foot in mouth talking in that tense
I'm sure that he'd overhaul the club from top to bottom if this happens, from board to pitch.
Something needs doing to rectify the Glazer mistakes (the many MANY mistakes)
Knighton is a clown. He knows as much as my ballsack.
I think Ratcliffe would be pretty visible at United if he was in charge. I can see him doing a formal interview with MUTV right out the gate if he completed the takeover. He’s fairly comfortable in front of cameras unlike some billionaires.
He is a definite improvement on the Glazers for a number of reasons. Nobody is saying he can return the club to the top in what is now an oil league anyway but he knows how to run a successful business and I assume he will not be seeking dividends and the club servicing debt interest.
Listen to Jim talk about his thoughts on leadership....
Talks about picking the right team of people who he trusts, then delegating to them.
Hopefully this means he will pick the right football people and let them do their work.
Clearly a smart guy. Self made, unlike the Glazer kids who are living off daddy's cash.

It does seem like the house of cards is collapsing. Both on and off field.
Hopefully this doesn't drag on for too long and gets sorted asap.
I'd take McFred as our midfield for rest of the season if it meant Jimmy boy buying the club by the 31st of August
Agree to disagree on how you evaluate it. I take back what I said, you are not wrong. But at the same time they have made 200m£ out of nothing...
I think any owner would do an interview.
The guy has a lot of other interests though, so i cant see him poking his nose in every day.
Feck the naysayers, we can force this sale through. Keep up the pressure reds.
Terry’s brother…it’s a scouse wind up
News like that make the mess this window has been almost completely dissapear. We would back again under Ratcliffe and his consortium. Back to where this wonderful club deserves to be.
It won't be everyone's cup of tea, because the club will be run sensibly and with long term sustainability in mind. There would probably be a long management review process that would take a while before all the right people were put in their respective positions. However, the main issue with the Glazers - utter incompetence - would likely be a thing of the past.
Long ago proven bullshitter.
Can see someone’s already changed his occupation on wiki to Manchester United owner
I see where you're coming from, and if you're looking at their investment since they bought the club, you're right, they made a lot from very little. But if you look at their asset now at this moment, there would be more lucrative ways to make money with that amount. So I guess we're both a bit right
Took me ages but it's from that fishing Simpsons episode?
I think it's been evident for a while that things are collapsing big time under the Glazers. Thats what you get though when you hire incompetent people who don't have a clue what they're doing
well done my man
This guy is an idiot. Clearly nothing to do with him but he wants the shine.
He bought Carlisle and made himself the manager. Thats the kind of shit that would happen in Footballers Wives, back in the day! Clown.
