A broken clock is right twice - they’re due their broken clock moment, I hope!

Sky News have a few of the details. Things should hopefully be finalised in the next couple of weeks.

It appears he's at least putting in some of his own money from the off. £245m~, and then £1.25bn for the shares via INEOS.
We can only hope he can sort things out.

You would assume this is debt towards him though, he'd be crazy to just give money to a club owned by someone else.

You have to believe that Ratcliffe isn't an idiot but getting into bed with the Glazers is fundamentally stupid.
An interesting one I wouldnt say no think he a good manager.

Manchester United and Ratcliffe to confirm stake sale next week
The Old Trafford club and Ineos Sports hope to announce the $33-a-share deal for a 25% stake early next week, Sky News can reveal.
Could have an announcement early next week (subject to change of course).

It's been "next week" for 6 weeks hasn't it? GTA 6 well be out before Ratcliffe takes over.

I’ll have completed Half-life 3 before it happens.

Duke Nukem Forever will have had a shorter production time by the time the Glazers have sold anything.
Sounds like INEOS are fans of Graham Potter if ETH can't convince them he's the best man for the job...

Not sure how I feel about that. He looked massively out of his depth at Chelsea, and he'd face the same sort of pressure for instant results here. A good manager though.
Graham Potter to be high on Manchester United shortlist if Sir Jim Ratcliffe chooses to sack Erik ten Hag
Graham Potter has been out of work since sacking by Chelsea in April and is admired by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford; Erik ten Hag under pressure after overseeing three defeats in Man Utds last four games but current hierarchy at Old Trafford have no plans to change manager

Still waiting. I still think GTA6 will be out before this take over is done and dusted.

I personally think they've seen they were interested in him at Nice and just though Ka-ching! Clicks = money, time for our daily article about Utd.
Quite a lot of talk that we'll be taking Dan Ashworth from Newcastle, as he's a close associate of Brailsford. Might not happen though.
So it'll be -
Jean-Claude Blanc as CEO
Dave Brailsford as main Sporting Director
Dan Ashworth as Football Director
Would be quite good.

Sounds ideal when around 75% of the squad need to be shipped in the next couple of windows.
