The 'nited way, already looking to get the rules sorted that shouldn't apply to them.

Yet another clueless article from the Sun first off the purchase is apparently by Sir Jim himself, and and not officially through INEOS, even though really we know that they are one in the same, but for the sake of official documentation it will be through him privately.

Also, aren’t they purchasing just 25% which, as far as I know, is below the threshold for ownership of two clubs in Europe .

Ferguson seems to have moved on pretty quickly from the death of his "beloved Cathy" a whole month ago, treating himself to a couple of new racehorses to the tune of £650k and then cracking jokes about how "she would have gone mad about me spending that if she was still around"

Sir Alex Ferguson claims late wife Cathy would have 'gone mad' if she knew how he spent £650,000 last week

Sir Alex Ferguson spent £650,000 but he's admitted his late wife Cathy would not approve.

When did this happen ? I thought he was buying 25% of the Glazer's share

Its abit confusing he is taking over on 25% of the Glazer's shares ....odd !

View attachment 99474

These sorts of deals are bound to go tits up. He's taking over but will only own 25%. How long will everyone stay happy with this arrangement?

Why do the media still think this rambling old sot and his diseased mind are relevant today? He was a nasty and disagreeable blemish on the sport when he was active, nothing has changed now that he's (theoretically) retired.
How is it of interest to the general public in this country that a multi-millionaire has bought himself a couple of racehorses? Answer - it isn't. But, because he happens to be a former manager of the British media's number one obsession we have to know all about it.

The reason why the rags voted against sister clubs loaning players to each other is because Nice said there was no way the rags were off loading their first 11 (15?) onto them.

Crossed my mind too but that Raac stuff seems safer than whatever they've used at the swamp, I've not seen mention of anything actually falling off with Raac just the possibility.

to be fair the areas of the swamp where the concrete was falling date back to the 1960's therefore the concretes as least 60 years old and possibly dates back over 100 years depending on the actual nature of the 1960's upgrades

If Nice qualify the Thursday night cup along with the scum the rags are banned if Sir Jim owns them?

No, just like we wouldn’t be if Girona qualified.

The longer he’s still in their spotlight, the longer their spell in the doldrums will be.

He's the living ghost of their bygone era.
