Flatten it then build a new one would cost 1.5b and 3 years I'd say to build no one is rich enough to do that now this mystery banker who no one has even spoken to or seen bought them

I’m not sure I mentioned any sort of rebuild? ;-)

When you have Luton with the ground can't see they can dictate anything! How the swamp passes health and safety I don't know the away end is so steep am shocked no one has fallen there and hurt them selves badly!

That's a question for Trafford borough council lol

I know CFC have a small shareholder. But what is the point of being a 25% shareholder ?
What can this Ratcliffe bloke do with his 25% share ?
Not being a financial brain myself I dont understand how it works. If Ratcliffe puts money in surely he just makes the Glazer's more money ? Or is Ratcliffe going to take 25% of the money the Glazer's take out ?

You've nailed it. 25% of the shares gets 25% of the dividends. Which he'll want in order to service the debt he'll be taking on to finance this deal.

What a glorious Sunday morning this is if true. Radcliffe is being used as crutch to prop the Glazers up. Both parties get to suck the blood of the cash cow dry, here’s to another ten years of decline.

I do believe the shit will really hit the fan when the Qataris go and buy another PL club and the utd fans (Even the middle eastern hating ones) get to see what they could have had.

And suspect that is exactly what will happen. I hope it isn't LFC though.

"Citeh's success is just becos they bought all the best players!"

So... you think City have the best players, do you?

"Nah, Citeh's players are shit!"

United fan logic.

It's been mentioned before but if the Qataris buy another Prem team it won't be the Dippers, I'm pretty sure of that.
Everton, definitely. Moving to a ground suitable for 21st century football, so much scope for development, the world would be their lobster. The two north London clubs are pretty stable, as are the Hammers. I'd say Brighton are also in safe hands looking forward. Palace, maybe. Ground way too small though.
The rest, sorry to say, are also-rans.

The rags are imploding on a huge scale. A couple more wrong moves and it will be cataclysmal for them. The end.
People say they are too big to fall, but look at Woolworths, Debenhams etc - they said the same about them.
Twenty years ago nobody would have thought the vermin would be in this position, ever. But they are, and it is happening while we are the undisputed kings of the game: the big boys amongst the bigger boys.

And it IS happening in his time.

Pity Everton have just been sold , always got on with their fans and the ones on here are sound can’t think of anyone else but need it up north to grind the rags into the ground, Preston perhaps, don’t mind them
