25% JIM??

Well there now appears to be some sort of daylight on the horizon concerning the SAGA of the sale of MAN.UTD . All over the week-end news is that the "ROTTEN glaziers" have or seem to have agreed a deal with Sir Jim Ratcliffe for him to aquire a 25% stake in the club.
I personally have reservation's on the issue , originally i was in shock at the thought of the club being bought by an ARAB SHEIK or whatever ! Though after the considerable length of time that it had been going on , i kind of came round to thinking it might work out . Then there was always the guy S.J.R. waiting in the wings , with his part offer. Then we had the RAT owners who changed thier minds yet again , and now we have yet another resolution with this part ownership from S.J.R.
This is now i believe giving me more of a concern ,why one asks ,well the fact s are basically the same with those still having 75% control .
SO as things stand i'm still not convinced and that this latest announcement is not what i along with the THOUANDS of MAN .U .Fans want .wHEN ONE looks at what S.J.R. has done for his FRENCH club (NOT MUCH ) then one must ask the question?
Finally all this going on is still and will not detract from the crisis which today is still happening at the club and that is i believe honestly that the club is reaching a crisis point !!! "TIME WILL OUT""
G.B.

you gotta love them glazerssaddled trafford with a 1 billon pound debt and then line their own pockets i hope they stick around for a few more decades yet!

GB, those Arabs offered the money plus extra to rebuild the ground and the greeders wouldn't take it. As eggbeater says they are still lining their own pockets. As you say, not many fans would have liked the sheik to buy the club but if it had happened and after a great influx of capital new players were brought in and utd rose again, I don't think you'd see many fans shoutin " Sheik out " .

told you a while ago that the sheik had sussed them glazers out . unlike some on here (mentioning no names) who were saying the arabs would buy united . they were wrong yet again .

Uncle Jim buys a minority stake and The Glazers stay in charge (or so it is rumoured).

wots up have you come out of hiding since city got beat yet again .

Nah, as a match going season ticket holder for 35 years, (unlike some), I'm very used to the current TREBLE WINNERS, THREE TIMES CONSECUTIVE PREMIER LEAGUE WINNERS and EUROPEAN KNOCKOUT TROPHY CHAMPIONS losing a couple of games.

Difference is, I don't desert my team in the bad times, (if you can call what trafford have endured in the last ten years bad times).

P.S. Do you want to know the name of a good roofer?

neither have we . and i started watching them in the 60s . and i remember that it was us that won the treble & 3 champions league . when pep goes so will your winning so gloat while you can because it,s coming .and when united went down i never missed a home match & went most of the away games even hitching it to games . yes i do know a good roofer .

I think that is known as a slam dunk return whups

Anyone else get the impression that a couple of people on here who have suddenly appeared after lurking in the shadows are beyond gutted that it looks like there won't be the merest whiff of any Sportswashing shenanigans at Old Trafford compared to the utter stench that eminates from the emptyhad

PS Do you want to know the name of a good lawyer.

Eyup the missing man's back! I wonder how relieved he is by not having to find another team to support

Shatty do you know a man who's on the right track or a kingmaker!!

shatty now you mention lawyers will youb ask your five good upstanding witnesses what aretheir thoughts
1on you not paying paying your debt to me
2 giving Don crap for going missing when you go missing more!
3 making false statements about kingmakers
4 you claiming to stop supporting trafford should the arabs turn up!


only when i see their sworn statements signed by the said 5 and a creditable lawyer will i believe you actually did go to a champions league final so over to you

yes chatty it was very conspicous by their absence when city got beat again . talking about statements doesnt city still have 115 charges to defend .

Revisiting the thread G B started .
A real good article in the Mirror today by John Cross on S J R and the Utd takeover .
His main thrust is that shared ownership rarely works and causes division and why would anyone invest hundreds of millions in something they dont actually own ?
My view is why would S J R want to jump into bed with the GREEDY GLAZERS who have fleeced the club to the tune of 1.6 billion .
Looks v much like casino economics .
Makes little or no sense .

workshy these 115 charges are taking there time going to court dont you think? if the PL had a shred of evidence (shattys famous five) would be stood with the PL in the witness box

bone idle they,ll get there in the end .

Latest rumour is about to open and that's a possible movefor CARLO ANCELOTTI , watch out 10hag yr time is nigh ? GB.

it doesnt matter who is the manager he wont get any funding from the glazers . he,ll have to do exactly the same way ten hag has to do , ask the bank for it with cap in hand .i,ll eat hay with a donkey if ancelotti is united manager . anyway ancelotti is brazil,s next manager .

Hasn't ten hags spent 100s of millions on a team of donkeys say what you want about the glazers workshy but they've spent 1 and half billion blame the managers not the owners

listen bone idle he can only get wot he can under the bank restrictions he has but still he won silverware in his 1st season unlike pep .i find it a bit rich coming from you who has been saying it,s the glazers fault from day 1

the glazers hav,nt put their hand in their pocket since they bought the club . more fake news from the gargoyle .

it makes no odds who spent the money! either glazers or trafford themselves whereever the money came from its still cost 1 and a half billion for a couple of tinpots! leicester won it by spending NOWT whats your excuse for that BILLY

workshy why hav,nt you mentioned the billion in players chelsea have bought in just the last 3 yrs . and you can level that arguement at most premiereship clubs . you really are a numpty gargoyle .

like i said its not the owners its the managers! how many managers have trafford and chelsea sacked in the last ten years why did trafford not go for eddie howe? il tell you why not high profile enough.

it,s the owners fault when all they do is bleed the club dry & not make funds available for the manager to get the players he wants . like iv,e said it,s a bit rich comming from you who,s been calling the glazers from day 1 & now your saying it,s not their fault . hypocrite comes to mind .

not get te players he want?

85 million for the crater faced wifebeater

65 million for the chap with a bigger head than jupiter

75 million for a spotty faced striker that cant score

62 million for a midfielder who goes missing more than shatty and thats only half of his signings!

it,s not the players he wanted is it & you like wife beaters dont you did,nt you pay money to go & watch someone who did time for that offence ? . hypocrite or wot .

tell me why he bought them then? if you wanted fish and chips you wouldnt come out the chippy with a tub of gravy would you?

because that,s all he was allowed to do . maybe you would if you did,nt have the money for fish & chips .
