Ratcliffe is a well known rag, a Mancunian.

He's from Oldham (which I guess counts as Mancunian for them).

Will the Brexiteer be giving orders from the comfort of his home in the EU? Hypocritical rag ****!

I know. Fake ****.

There is no contradiction.
Why would the Glazers sell. They have taken millions out of the club and can continue to do so, no matter what any mib says.
Why would someone buy it. You'd need 5 billion (loaned therefore interest) you would have to address the disgraceful state of the stadium, another billion. All before you took a penny out. Where is the contradiction ?

If that’s the case Reggie smethhurst from cleepthorpes may aswell put a bid in.

I was alluding to part time defenders such as those appearing in the red of the scum, not the heroic Trumpton Fire Brigade rescue team, whose names shall live forevermore, but were borrowed merely for artistic purposes. Alas, I had no time to seek permission from Captain Flack, but, I'm sure he's a blue Gaz, like us, and therefore won't mind.
:-)

I should hope so.

I should hope so.

Respect, Your Highness.

A rag from Manchester ?

As rare as rocking horse shi t !

Did like this comment on BBC Hys about Ratcliffe

Let him, he has ruined a winning Sky cycle team, failed to win The Americas Cup with the worlds best helmsman and since his been involved with Mercedes F1 team they haven’t won anything. Looks a great fit for Man U!

 

[Bluechrispin]

Glazers are in talks to sell a minority stake to an private equity firm named Apollo. Not exactly Ratcliffe...

Isn’t the guy worth about 12 billion? Is he really about to blow almost half his money on them. Then spend another billion tarting up the swamp and another billion on players that the rag masses will demand? Doubt it

He is reportedly worth over £20billion. He also reportedly saved £4billion in tax by moving to Monaco in the last few years. If these figures are correct, and you are 69 years old, would you worry about spending £5/6 billion on a toy? You never know, he may get bored in a couple of years and sell.

Plus he is a billionaire, they don't tend to give their money away.
How does he get a return for his 5 billion pound investment to buy the club and the one billion to rebuild the swam

Any prospective buyer is gonna take a serious look at the competition they would be up against. It was Souness who said "the trouble with Manchester United is Manchester City".
It's gonna take a lot more than sentiment and a few billion to turn it around.

 

[crazyg]

Yep and there's also "sources" at nasa saying they just about to sign Neil Armstrong

That's just one small step......

And I'd bet that I and plenty more on BM have been to the swamp more times than him.

 

[This and only this]

Paddy Power are untouchable at the twitter banter. So, so funny.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

No, no, no - they do have a strategy. If you are under 5ft 9" and less than 11 stone they are after you.

Sh*t!

Edit: Hang on, just seen the weight thing. - Phew!

I think you hold the record with 7 mate. I hereby crown you King of the Question Mark

If you can create a coherent sentence using the same word eleven times consecutively, then I'll be impressed.

What a shitty stat to have!

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

They are close to getting Casemiro madrid sources saying it’s because they are doubling his salary to 360 thousand a week on a 5 year deal. hilarious

Christ on a bike!
It's almost as if they're just going out and attempting to build the most expensive bonfire pile they can possibly find...
