How long does this sort of thing normally take? Say, Sir Jim puts an offer on the table at 8am tomorrow morning and its accepted. Hours, days, weeks?

Have some doubts about Ratcliffe (Nice fans are furious with his ownership) but honestly I don't see any good options. I might just be done with football if we're bought by oil but the other options is more US people just looking for profit.

I wouldn't expect to see anything happen within a year. Chelsea was a special circumstance because the government forced it through.

lots of activity on Twitter and the newspapers about Apple being interested in buying Man Utd. Not sure on how to feel about that.

As is the case with anything United related, this sale will be linked to every billionaire and their dog as I imagine there'll be a ton of opportunistic investors looking to form consortiums and the likes.

Imagine if they did buy Utd, every rival supporter would be help funding Man Utd every time they upgrade iPhones, lol.

why would apple want to buy another bad apple
Despite your hatred Manchester United are the biggest club in the world that can be bought. That is for a team that hasn't won anything in 5 years. City has won 10+ trophies in that time and still has to fiddle its books to even come close to the money United can make.

That would be funny, I suspect android sales will go up from rabid football fans moving away from Apple.
Closer to months/years, a lot of moving parts, remember the newcastle takeover? Could be even longer than that.

iTrafford Pro Max Arena
Got to say, that would be an awesome name for a revamped stadium.

With 20% extra capacity over the closest rival stadium, 30% cheaper beer than any London club and all for the price of £1200.
We think you're going to love it.

He is just stealing a wage now. If I was as lucky as him to be able to play football to a high standard and it wasn't working out for me I would be pushing for a move to Westham or something.
It must be really awkward training with the reserves and seeing first team players face to face.
If he does have a horrible injury why hasn't anyone come out and said anything or meaningful?
His salary is 2.6 million a year. He has played 13 games in nearly 4 seasons. That is 800,000 a game.

He's not stealing anything, we offered him that contract and he's honoring it. Do you think he wanted to have his career ruined by injuries?
