Id expect Jim Ratcliffe to be the winning bid

He’d be ideal but from what I can gather whilst 6 billion is a pizz in the ocean for the other group it’s a huge chunk out of Ratcliffe’s fortune so he unlikely buy them — he’s a pauper compared to the other interested party

The Qatari have already said they won't overpay but you know Jim Definitely will
Qatari say one thing and do another. Also, we don't know what the scale of any american bid could be. It will be more than chelsea went for, thats for sure

All potential new Manchester United owners and major investors have been invited to presentations at Old Trafford by senior club staff over the next two weeks.
They include representatives of Ineos owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar's Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani.
The pair are regarded as the two leading candidates to buy the Premier League club should the Glazer family eventually decide to relinquish control.
Part of the presentations will revolve around how the club could generate more income.
Ratcliffe's camp will visit at the end of next week, although it is yet to be confirmed whether the 70-year-old British billionaire will attend. Sheikh Jassim's delegation will also receive their presentation next week.

Jim Ratcliffe will be officially named as the preferred bidder
whatever owner ends up in charge, the fans won't be happy in a few months time
Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has made an improved offer to buy Manchester United.
Sources have told BBC Sport a fresh bid was submitted on Tuesday morning amid further talks involving the Raine Group, who are handling the sale.
The Qatari banker and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos Group are the two main parties looking to buy the Old Trafford club.
Both groups submitted third bids at the end of April
It is understood the new bid is for 100% of the club, will clear United's debt and includes a separate fund directed solely at the club and local community.

It's not finished yet :laugh:
I don’t understand all these comings and goings .. the English guy has limited funds so he’s having to throw the Americans a crumbs of comfort by letting them stay on as minority share holders .. BUT the Saudis have unlimited funds so why don’t they just offer a ridiculous amount that would be impossible to refuse and have done with it

the glazers want to maximize their cash, but just because a buyer has a few quid in the bank doesn't mean that they will pay over the market value for something, thats not good business

But they are in danger of losing out ??
The latest Saudi offer includes paying off the club debt and investing in the team and facilities.. none of which the Glaziers care a jot about

Manchester United officially remain up for sale, but reports from Qatar on Monday claimed that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani had indeed beaten Sir Jim Ratcliffe and got the go-ahead from the Glazers
Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has been congratulated on his alleged takeover of Manchester United - despite no offical announcement being made.
The Premier League giants are yet to confirm who their new principal owner will be, with current chiefs the Glazer family set to decide on a preferred bidder this week. Sheikh Jassim, an uber-wealthy Qatari banker, has been competing with INEOS chief executive Sir Jim Ratcliffe for the best part of eight months in the battle to buy United.

going from the evil Glazers to even worse evil
:hehe:
inbefore Mbappe's contract just gets renewed (now they bullied out Galtier over at PSG, and deffo forcing Nagelsmann to keep playing him in starting 11 or else)
It was a long month ......
British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe has agreed to buy a 25% stake worth about £1.25bn in Manchester United.
As part of the deal, Ratcliffe's Ineos Group will take control of the club's football operations.
Ratcliffe, 71, will also provide $300m (£236m) for future investment into Old Trafford.
The announcement comes 13 months after the club's owners, the Glazer family, stated they were considering selling to "explore strategic alternatives".
I was always of the understanding that anything LESS than 50% of something was basically the same as nothing as regards power … but it sounds like he’s had some special clauses built into the deal

It won't change anything. They will have a clear out of staff on the football side, but it won't improve anything and now the Glazers can keep taking the cash and blame Ratcliffe for the poor football results. It's a win/win for them

Agree it wont change until there is huge clearout of players.
I have to laugh cuz I think Man Utd have got them selves into a perpetual cycle they cant get out of.
Mourinho, Rangnick, Olly and CR7 have all stated, in one way or another, that the problem is with the players. They are not as good as they think they are. |I just dont think anyone will be trusted to clear out the squad.
As an example, Arteta got rid of fan favourites like Ozil and Aubameyang,. I can remember that I was spitting fire when he got rid of Aubamyang saying Arteta hasnt got a clue. How can you get rid of your top scorer etc? No Man Utd manager will be able to justify getting rid of star players for the sake of 'the project'. Man Utd fans and the endless cycle of ex Man U players who work in the media will never allow to get going before they're calling for the manager to fired.
Arteta finished 8th, 8th, 5th then 2nd. IF he was Man U manager he'd have probably been fired after the 2nd 8th place finish.
Ten Hag will go soon and the cycle will start again., Its great to watch. :laugh:

It's a similar situation with Tom Wagner & Brady at Blues, neither of them own over 50% individually.

he has been given 2 board seats and given responsibility for looking after the football operations of the club. That's perfectly normal
