Nope, all views are my own.

Not a hope in hell MUTV would want anyone speaking about a deal that's still not finalised and under legally binding confidentiality agreements.

@@daveryan2473 are u an mutv sock?

​@@StatmanDaveyeah and we know why....

@@daveryan2473 ALL treasonous Sir RAT supporters, YOU will be held responsible for this. And YOU will pay for this treason. YOU did this to yourselves and ALL United fans.

better than nothing tho

It depends on what their agreement indicates. No one in this world would invest his £ billions just any how. You might be convinced that he is doing it for love of football, but it's not. Financial reasons is the main reason. So you can't tell if there will be full acquisition after that period unless you know what is written in their agreement.

Spoken like someone who was actually sat in the board meeting ironing out the details when in actual fact you know as much as the rest of us which is fuck all.

They will not listen , they see positives where nothing ever grows. And he is a brit you know , he ain't the human abuser.

Make sense

Exactly...

As it stands there's no guarantee, or obligation for Jim to buy 100% of Man United

Does that mean that all the pro-Qatari people are paid by Sheikh Jassim?

If this is spin, can you explain which parts (using time stamps) where he has outright lied or bent the truth in INEOS’ favour?

please go right ahead. and see how many views you get

@@eirikbjorloprobably not that many, Man United fans don’t like hearing uncomfortable truths

​@@bdt5096If only you could see the irony...

ALL treasonous Sir RAT supporters, YOU will be held responsible for this. And YOU will pay for this treason. YOU did this to yourselves and ALL United fans.

Just be honest, you want Qatar (who have links with terrorists, I can provide you links which prove this) to take over United and throw their money at United and become another Manchester City and sell the soul of the club to a country which follows a religion which treats their women like slaves and also treats LGBTQ worse than dogs.

At Nice he said 5 years .. 5 years in & they're really starting to look decent .. so what's your problem?

British Fc will come after you. Jim can never compare to Jasim. We needed a complete take over not this Rat crap

​@@dettworkstarting to look decent lmao psg gonna win the league anyway

@@PoisonDwarf28 yeah probably, so what?

Genuine question - If he had done the same about Qatar, would you be saying Qatar have paid him to push it?

@@samwize28 no because Qatar quite literally have the wealth to put us on par with the other top clubs on Europe while clearing our debt and upgrading facilities while sir Jim has nothing close

@@vidu635 Sheikh Jassim or whatever his name is has a networth of $1.5bn, which is 4.5bn less than what United was supposed to be sold for. Jassim also said his bid has nothing to do with Qatar who actually have the "wealth" you are talking about. It's funny you guys think a guy whose networth is $1.5bn was going to magically fix United.

@@vidu635didn’t have enough to buy the club though. All this myth of unlimited funds really needs to stop.

​​@@vidu635So in your stupid brain, the guy with *less* money is the one *more* likely to pay people for good PR?

I wish that were true, I would be making bag

I totally agree another traitor

Which are?

Where’s the 20 then?

@@StatmanDaveHahaha, well said!

They are 2nd in Ligue 1.

Where are you people getting this information? Bruh, you can just google the Ligue 1 table?😂

7 games into the season

What a trophy@@StatmanDave

it's not optimism. It's ignorance. Just ignoring the way this club has been run into the ground.... with the same scum leading it forward with a cycling expert. It's pathetic and just another content creator kissing ass to the club. Let's all ignore the enormous debt, rotting stadium, overpaid unsellable squad, how much fans are ignored.... and just pretend it's all going to be ok. Shameless video

why and how?

Not yet, AND it takes their overall % of ownership down to less than 50%. It's a start.

​@@downrodeo thats also wrong, he is getting 25% of the the club including the minority holders shares.

I stopped following Dave. He's British Fc. I was actually waiting this spin video from him. Crap

Lee, I think we need to be more objective with Ratcliffe. That was the view I was attempting to provide. Qatar didn’t want United. So we move on.

​@@kifeeeeeAnd you go look at Malaga pls. Also look at the Ligue 1 table.

@@kifeeeee Did you watch the video?

​@@kifeeeee Things can change and its not like Nice were a world beating team in Ligue 1 before Ratcliffe arrived. Yes they did make the UCL in 16-17 but aside from that, they are not a traditional powerhouse like Manchester United. And I will be the first to admit that mistakes were made initially under INEOS' ownership, but they Didn't lose their Ligue 1 status, but those mistakes seem to have been rectified now as currently Nice is Second in the Ligue 1 table behind Monaco and ahead of the Qatari owned P$G. Since everyone here sees state ownership as eye candy, look at Malaga, Who after initial success under Qatari ownership, declined After their owner pulled funding in 2014 and are now in the Third Tier of Spanish football with 10 million owed to them by the ruling Qatari royal family the House of Thani who also happen to own P$G who haven't won the Champions League since Qatar took over 12 years ago and have only succeeded in destroying football finances. So INEOS, which is technically also representative of oil money as a Petro chemicals business is a lesser evil if One were to objectively look at the track record of INEOS and Qatar as owners in football especially since the latter have been owning football clubs for far longer than the former

3rd in the league, ahead of PSG, so not too shabby this season.

@@thelastjerkbender2505 Cough … second!

Qatari owned Malaga are relegated

They were 9th last season and 5th the season before that.

In a farmers league.......

He literally starts the video saying that..

no way he's taking 25% without a plan to get the rest tho .. SJR isn't some nobody off the street he knows what he's doing

His buy and deal has a definitive full take over. He has to buy the remaining 75% over 3 years. Thats why he has won the bidding war, he will end up paying 1b more than the sheikh.

I'm sure his record at his clubs back up his brilliance 😅

​@@trevorr64 Sheikh has Malaga. Brilliant track record as well, btw.

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 ETH’s everyday life

Why are Nice fucked over? The only undefeated team in Ligue 1.

@@Paddythefriendlykiwi come back end of the season

​@@katlehotrey212How has he fked over Nice? They weren't exactly a big club before he came in anyway?

@@katlehotrey212 you come back at the end of the season!

@@Paddythefriendlykiwi won't change the fact Nice are a terrible run club

1. Because the shakey finance Sheikh wouldn't have been better 2. He mentioned the improvements at Nice, concentrate a bit 3. No comment.. 4. There has been nothing but rumours from both sides so no one knows but rumour has it it will be taken on by Ineos, a company far richer than the guy with shakey finances

Nice have a very good DoF, an exciting manager, with a lot of young talented players. They are 2nd in Ligue 1.

Why do you belive that Jassim would "go for the best"? Is that what his family did at Malaga?

Thats human nature

Qatar owned Malaga?

@@JohnDoe-qm8ns sure... same owner like Jim for Nice eh? the same RATcliffe who promised "great things coming to the club" and let the club fall from grace..

​@@gm_21Nice are 2nd, and they were never that good anyway. Sheik's family took Malaga from La Liga to the 3rd division.

Care to share one of these millions?

@@GhostFitzKillathe greedy goblins

​@@ak01052Glazers? They held the cards. If both SJR and Qatar only offered a full take-over, they probably wouldn't have sold.

Why?

​@@StatmanDavehow about speculation bullshit to make a video? You KNOW SHIT

Fan optimism is not a good measure of good decisions. Fans were "optimistic" when we signed Sancho/Sanchez/Di Maria etc.

Brailsford's 1% philosophy or Marginal Gains is basically to improve lots of significant things by small amounts at an organisation which alone might not look like much but when you combine them they cause major improvements. In effect it's more about changing the culture and raising standards bit by bit to improve rather than making one big change. In Football Manager terms Marginal Gains could be seen as improving every attribute by 1 point on every player in your team. It sounds simple and it now makes up a fundamental part of modern sports psychology but Sir Dave Brailsford is seen as it's godfather.

​@@StatmanDavelet's hope he improves 'throw ins'. Something which a lot of football teams ignore

Talk of debts hasn't been clear yet except that INEOS won't add any more debt. Assume debts will be cleared once (if ever) Ratcliffe has full ownership.

@@StatmanDavebut how? Does he have enough money to clear the debt and also buy out whole ownership? On top of that upgrade the whole infra, i highly doubt he can handle all that on his own, and even if he can not in the near future

​@@StatmanDaveRatcliffe has never said he will clear legacy debt.

Absolutely agree 100%

Why is it that? Perhaps they have concerns where you're TOO STUPID to understand?

Speak for yourself, mate. Would you say this shite if he did a pro-Jassim video?

Nope its not this guys i clueless just sit back and watch and ps ask the NICE fans of what they think of him

United fans, wise up. Does Ratcliffe have the funds to help ten Hag compete in the transfer market? Have you forgotten why we couldn't get Pavard and Kim? WISE UP UNITED FANS

@@jaswinderbhogal2035 ask the average United fan what they think about Bruno and the answer will be similar. In Ratcliffe defense he hasn’t been there long, things take time. I’m assuming they’ve been criticized because of Barkley and the other guy (Wilshere?) and tbh it is beneficial off the pitch in these signings. You need experience in a locker room.

@@wolfswinkel8906 pretty sure that had to do with FFP and incompetence. We needed to sell Maguire or McTominay. We could’ve gone for Todibo.

@@therealjuanpedro192 dude, we didn't put in an offer because there was no money. What do you mean FFP? Explain this one very carefully.

Do the same for the pro-Qataris as well.

I'm fine with dividends being paid out when they're deserved or the club is making big profits. Man Utd are the ONLY CLUB IN ENGLAND who consistently pay dividends out, even when they make a loss and that right there is pure Glazer greed.

​@@StatmanDavewhat about the debt?

​@@PoisonDwarf28 Optimist will say that if Ineos takes over in the future, they will clear the debt. But of course, this is just wishful thinking.

Sportswashing is on top look at man City we are way behind lets be honest

Nope. Just a bit of balance to the conversation.

​@@StatmanDaveit's not balance when you know nothing. Never really been a fan of yourself (nothing personal) but I've recently been liking your content. I won't be watching any more unless it looks really good. Thank you.

​​@@justonemorego4079So do you have the same opinion on the pro-Qatari people? Since they also "know nothing"

That means all the pro-Qatari people are also being disrespectful? Or is it just bias fron you?

Jassim is not rich but his family is worth 240 billion pounds

​@@edsonmawalla4203His family have destroyed Malaga. From La Liga to the 3rd division.

@@JohnDoe-qm8ns the spain ffp rules means that they couldn't put money into the club, but England have no such rules so they would do what Manchester city did. Even the Sevilla owner is worth 20 billion euros but cannt even inject 30 million euros into the club

​​@@edsonmawalla4203I'll repeat it. From La Liga, to the 3rd division. Do you realize how many bad decisions that would entail?

@@JohnDoe-qm8ns its because of laliga financial rules

The guy that laughed during the minute of silence for the teacher whose throat was slit in Arras. The last one i want to represent Manchester United

lol

A shit sandwich is a shit sandwich. Doesn't matter how much mayo you add, it'll still taste like shit

​@@kevincarter2020Speculation is just speculation. You have no idea what will hapoen in the future.

If you think this is balanced I feel sorry for you

What are the lottery numbers for next week, Nostradamus? Maybe you can use that money to buy Utd.

All we want is for Man Utd to be free 🙏

I see people repeatedly using the terms 'State owned, & 'sportswashing' in relation to Jassim's bid, but can anyone please provide ONE tangible example where either of the aforementioned phrases have been manipulated with any existing Qatari-based business relationship?

@@lennynewyorka3746 yeah, then maybe we would both understand what this agenda is all about because honestly, I just feel like it is just another one of the "English media" campaigns because it is Manchester United involved. I mean, Newcastle is literally owned by Saudi royalty through the PIF. 🤷🏽‍♂️
