How they still don’t get this is absolutely stunning.
It’s bizarre. How many times do we need to explain it…

The cunts are obsessed.

You wouldn't want this outside any school!

I don’t understand the difference? The glazers shares are shares of United aren’t they?

Ratcliffe has agreed to buy 25% of the club's class B shares, largely held by the Glazer family, who own 69% of the club, and contain almost all the voting rights, and up to 25% of its class A shares, which are listed on the New York Stock Market. The shares are worth $33 per share.

Maybe Jim bought 17% the club ( Class B shares 0.25 x 0.69). Fuck knows.

Yeah. I find that confusing. Why is he being attributed with so much power by the media?

Because the media, more than any other stakeholder are desperate for the rags to remain relevant.

Their delusion knows no bounds.

I’d ask for a refund if I was him. He’s been sold an absolute turkey.

And it gets stuffed every week

Already got a refund apparently. Today the price has been cut to just £1.03 billion from the £1.25 billion he paid yesterday. Could be something do with him getting only 17% of the club now. Fuck knows.

Keep reading headlines like 'How Chelsea Jim bought Manchester United'. Correct me if i'm wrong but i thought he'd bought a few of their penny shares that the Glazer's issued to try and rip off more uncanny investors?

I know. I couldn't believe that they were the top story not just on the BBC Sport website, but the BBC News website as well. A rich guy buys a minority share of a football club? How was that the most important news in the UK yesterday?
