I can't understand why so many fans are ignorant of the facts . To start with ,how do you propose to get rid of the Gazers...I would love the Glazers out but how ? They are business men / women that are schrewd ,save and greedy ,that said they will only go when they are ready . Secondly a few years ago we were all clamering for UNITED to modern.

There has been neligence on the part of footballs heirachy who allowed the 2005 deal to go through. They have failed to meet their commitments to fans. Assurances in both print and video format. They have lied to the EPL, THE FA and the Government. They say that all of their decisions are made withbthe best interests of fans, shareholders, investors and....

They just need to keep identifying and buying quality players like they did last season. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the work they have done so far. If they continue like this, our team will be where is supposed to be in the next few seasons

We just refinanced £440 million of 2005 debt increasing debt by £120 million to £560 million and increase in interest of £10 million.

Al up our debt is £1.29 billion.

Recruitment has improved a lot. now they have to show it is sustainable/repeatable and get the midfield signings right

He was called a mad man when he started the redundant movement and now here we are beating the PRS and bringing in top quality players with the likes of Sesko, Lammens, Cunha, Mbeumo, Yoro and Heaven and the same removing the bad eggs among the team. I'm very positive we will be challenging for the league title in the season of 2026/27

After a dramatic start to 2026, what is your message to Sir Jim Ratcliffe?
steve.d.phipps69cdj123d ago
If this is true and a potential sale is on the table, for the Glazers and selling Man Utd, it's about time and and I really hope Sir Jim successfully wins the takeover and the Glazers Out and back in British hands like it should of been from the very beginning.

rember this "in Lausanne and Nice we have made a lot of cock ups. Maybe it’s third time lucky?” purchased Nice said this" been mistakes at Lausanne" but you were fast learners. I have noticed a pattern, your great budgeting,finance and obtaining deals but your crap at making football decisions leave it to the guys you brought in, take a back seat for awhile

Sesco to start mbeumo to the left amad to the ryt it would be perfect
Wilcox definitely 100% NO/solskjaer mabey but more not yet give ole time but Wilcox is as much use as square root of nothing
deanrobinson595171d ago
Why are you talking about solskjaer? He has not part at Manchester United, or am I missing something?
If Ratcliffe makes £150m selling OGC Nice, how should that cash be spent at United?
Ineos billionaire wants out of French football
ericisgod66176d ago
what makes you think he will use any part of the sale of Nice to invest in United. you do know why he is selling Nice? I am almost certain he will use the money to invest in INEOS whether that be to enter new markets or something like that but I am sure at the moment SJR is very focused on his baby.

Every last penny. Put it towards getting rid of the Glazers.

How would you RATE Jason Wilcox's performance for Manchester United as DOF?
Is the criticism unfair? Or should Ineos be looking to replace Wilcox with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or a more experienced sporting director?
mannyfarrugia44137d ago
Poor
zeke.wolf42180d ago
He's done well. He came in to do a particular role, and advised against Amorim. He's overseen excellent recruitment. The only negative for me is that it took personal attacks on him to sack Amorim.
dale.odonnell250d ago
Wilcox has done very little to impress me or show that he is worthy of the role.
.Its clear for everyone to see. Jim Ratcliffe has no more funds to put in while the Glazers sit down and still collect their shares. Sir Jim is a fool pon himself to build up something thats is trurly not his fully. The Glazers are laughing at him as they still have the Power to sell to a different investor. Jim will not fixed the issue and clear the debt
taylorjoe41122d ago
Jim did put into Carrington £50m of his own money. As you said if someone come in & bought United he would lose a lot of money. He is a multi billionaire so could buy United if he gets the chance. Not forgetting he bid for a full takeover but the Leaches declined.
deanrobinson595171d ago
Tru that the asshole glazers should have sold to the Qatari's. They were going to totally eradicate the whole debt and actually spent their own pennies on our club. (Think how different and better it could have been).
Trust the ever changing process? Infantile approach.

SHOULD Ineos be doing more moves between United, Nice and Lausanne?
Would you like to see Unied using Nice like Chelsea use Strasbourg?
tinotendakambadza696118d ago
Don't judge him now
posix.forward231d ago
Heh, why? UEFA is already giving multi-club setups the suspicious side-eye. Maybe when the dust finally settles, explore those options.
dale.odonnell250d ago
I don't care what they do at Nice or Lausanne, so long as they get everything in order at United. Nothing else matters as much as United.

What is your honest opinion of Jason Wilcox and his role as director of football?
tinotendakambadza696118d ago
After Ederson we need another 2 midfielders back up of mainoo and de link who replace Casemiro
tinotendakambadza696118d ago
His too slow on negotiation deals
jeremywong007205d ago
He is weak.. CV / resume not fit the role. Just unfit... will you listen to your operation director , who not even manage a team before. .when you are a Gerenal Manager from competitor, and hired to run the company and report to this Director. U ok ?
sThey are the best team in the world at the moment.The have got the best players and must make sure they keep on toes until the last minute and celebrate a win after the last minute and make sure the use every opportunity to score which do come their way.Tell Mbeumo to pull up hi

We need Owners who care about results on the pitch not financial results.

Biggest problem at the moment is that Amorin doesn't have the bravery that is needed. Take a chance on youth, and be prepared to change the system within games. We are doing better, but I still feel that we have lost points by bad in-game management.
adnan.riaz306d ago
He really does need to start trusting the Man United youth more. 😐

We still have a long way to go before we win the Premier league. I still feel that Amorim should be prepared and willing to change his formation when playing against some teams and during some games when we need an extra man in defence or midfield, to see out games .
adnan.riaz306d ago
I'm sure it will come with time. We've already seen him tweak his system in parts this season...

A difficult one to work out. At least they seem to have the right intentions. I'm willing to give them time, but I would like to see a bit more speed in the decision-making
adnan.riaz306d ago
Yeah, time won't be on their side forever and patience will quickly turn out if Man United fans don't feel that there is major progress being done.

I think they are doing a good job in terms of setting the club up for success and giving it a direction, but the jury is still out on their biggest decision so far - hiring Amorim. Third option it is for me

Amorim has been the only manager since Sir Alex who has dared to try and restructure the culture. He deserves some credit and more time. We had patience with Sir Alex so let's given Ruben the same.

Are you happy with Ineos and Sir Jim Ratcliffe?
frankedrybicki74d ago
No but this season will show if the club has moved forward. All the top teams have strengthened so it won't be as easy. Plus Eoro hames
stephenjholmes174d ago
We need the Glazers gone. Nothing else will give stability to the club. We need to be back to the days when we were debt free. We would still be at the top table when it comes to transfer activity, and with the idiots that were doing the transfer deals in the Glazer ownership so much money was wasted.
alberttsikira74d ago
They are doing a good job let's give them chance
