Manchester United partial sale completed: Jim Ratcliffe acquires 27.7% share, 100% control of sporting side)

[Evilo]

Radcliffe bought Nice saying he was going to spend big and out Nice as PSG competition after a few years
He spent... Average. And Nice is far from title challenging.

Ratcliffe is the best of a bad bunch morally, even then you could point to Ineos' enviromental impact. Not sure what I'd do if Qatar or Saudi takes over. It's not a straightforward decision after being a fan for 27/28 years. Maybe it should be though.

Thomas Zilliacus puts in bid to buy Manchester United football club together with fans

Thomas...

I don't think that price is sufficient in any way but the idea is good. I think this would work better partnered with another bid (Ratcliffe?).

Edit: and he might be planning to do exactly that:

I want this saga to end already and would really prefer it ending with no Qatari ownership...

The lols would feel good in the early stages, after that it would just suck.

Or maybe I should be an electric car

Nah, Qatar is less about oil and more about natural gas.

@Scandale du Jour doesn’t care. He loves asbestos after all. He won’t even recognize the name change to his hometown. “Valley of the Springs? f*** that!”.

If only they had not demonized Asbestos, I could be the one buying Man United as a toy.

I would think you’d be smarter than that though and buy Arsenal instead. Likely slightly cheaper and a better investment.

I mean, with the kind of money I would have, I'd do like Qatar and buy multiple teams.

United and Arsenal at the same time though? Well, you are a Madridista so…

In all seriousness though, I think if my parents won the PowerBall lottery (I don’t play it) where the jackpot is a billion or something I think about how cool it’d be to do a Wrexham sort of thing with a small club. Not necessarily in England either but maybe in Spain.
