Offer to double Casemiro's wages to £380k week stalled as player has no interest.
Ajax winger Antony doesn't want to go to United.
And Frankie would rather take a wage cut than talk to them. Great wage reduction tactic for any club now - 20% less or we'll accept United's bid.

It's daily rejections! There going to beat my record for one summer as a shy 16 year old, several times over!

Have a feeling from Ronaldo's comments he's really going to put the boot in once the window shuts and he's safely in Italy or Spain.

Ronaldo will still be on the payroll when he is in Spain or Italy. Just like Lukaku and Sanchez
 
Got told I was a 'Bitter Bertie' last night. A colleague of a friend of mine was waxing lyrical about the old days:"Football's not the same anymore." "It's changed so much I don't recognise the game anymore." The usual self-pitying bleating that these no-marks are famous for.
I said: "No. It's still fundamentally the same game, it's just that you rags can longer outbid EVERY club in the Prem to get what you want. You can longer have referees and other officials ask 'how high?' when you tell them to jump. You can no longer rely so much on people like Howard Webb and Mark Clattenburg to get you over the line when you need a win."
And his response was, "No wonder people call you Bitter Berties."

I was hoping I would be able to have a serious conversation with the man about football. Prem league, Championship, World Cup etc, anything to do with football, but I would have had a more intellectually fulfilling conversation with a bus stop than this cretin.

When you know you can’t ‘win’ a discussion, and your only recourse is an insult…

Even if The Glazers sell up tomorrow the rags are in such a mess it'll take years for them to recover and to catch up to us.

This is no quick fix. The club is absolutely rotten to the core. Just enjoy the meltdown

True and all this speculation on the sale take the spot light of the glazers and the players!

If your the Glazers though you cash out now unless selling the club for say 4/5 billion in the long run not going to give all the glazers a big enough cut because of what we don’t know in what they owe they’ll just keep the cash cow..

Hahaha these rags surely have to realise at some point how much they are being used by all this clickbait, I've heard Jeff bezos is also interested and is considering joint ownership with God.
The best of it is a vast majority of them actually believe this shite, I find myself purposely sitting near them in the canteen so I can listen in on their "football" chats

I'm all for it - Pope still won't know who they are............
 
Buying the club from Radcliffe will not automatically solve their issues. The absolute mess of a squad will need 5+ years to sort out.

Which is a long long time in football. I won't bash my eyelids at this scenario and call it doom. Before we can talk about them being "back", they first must establish a solid infrastructure internally, be patient and intelligent in their purchases and employment and they must have a very solid squad willing to run through walls.

A VERY long way away. And that's if the Yanks sell.

While winning games pushing for top four and trophies! If they sell up set it all up perfectly finishing between 8th and 5th still won’t make the rags happy maybe for a season or two while the new owner buzz is still around but after that they need to deliver on the pitch! If it doesn’t happen will the rag fans be wanting another new owner?!

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's worth 4 billion not 12. If he bought he would have to borrow. He has stated he has no interest in owning a minority stake.
The Glazers have said they might sell a minority stake so where is the story ?
 
Blue Mist said:
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, the one billion to rebuild the swamp and the copious amounts of payments needed to keep Ferguson and Charlton to haunting the place like the 2 old guys from Muppets Christmas Carole.....

Q. What kind of billionnaire would pay £5/6B for scum?
A. A scummy one.

If this fantasy about sonny Jim were ever to occur, they're still scum; so is he, and they aren't catching us anytime soon.

You cannot simultaneously claim something is too valuable to sell and has no value for a potential buyer. These are two directly contradictory statements.

5Bn is 250 years worth of dividends at the rate they're taking them out. They'd make 250m/year investing it safely vs. picking up 20m in dividends.

Malcolm Glazer was the driving force behind buying the club and he's long dead. The 3 brothers might see the value in taking the 5Bn profit.

Ratcliffe is desperate to own a big name club, and he's a local childhood fan with the means to do so.

Everything in your post is wrong.
There are 6 siblings who own shares not 3.
If Ratcliffe was do desperate to buy an English club, why did he submit a bid for Chelsea after the deadline had passed?
The Glazers do not want to sell.

It’s the media pushing it and Neville who started it last week with his rant “time for the glazers to go” its a story also while there at the bottom of the league being shit will be pushed Sky the media want there winning toy back!

So why did he want to buy the chavs? If I was a fan of the scum I would not invest in a rival to decrease our chance of winning trophies or staying up in this case

He moved to London and decided he did not have the time to travel north to watch footy, so he became a Chelsea season ticket holder.

The rags transfer policy has been likened to a child in a sweet shop. The trouble with that is the shop keeper will always sell.
I prefer the rag transfer policy is like a 15yr old in an off licence, not only will the shop keeper not sell, the lager refuses to leave the shelf.
