By Dr3upMushroom Go To PostThey’re not the ones being investigated by the FA.
That has nothing to do with Old Trafford literally being rotten.
I’ve only been once, nearly 10 years ago, and it was a crumbling dump at that point.

St James' was also getting to that point, but it had a serious clean up when the new ownership came in. The fucking hysteria on twitter when people realised the windows were being cleaned. Fucking hell Mike.
Ronay article today is spicy:

The great thing about hitting rock bottom, Hollywood movies are fond of pointing out, is that there is only one way left to go. But there is another option. Hollywood movies: meet Manchester United. Too big to fail properly, but somehow still managing to fail all the same.
…
The most striking moment, a low of deep ocean shelf proportions, came with 85 minutes gone, United down to 10 men and losing 3-2 at home against Galatasaray. Cue, from the substitutes’ bench, an £85m winger who is being investigated over allegations of domestic violence. In a time of pain a hero will come. Just not, perhaps, this one.
…
Leaks in the roof. Ratcliffe v Jassim. The career of Harry Maguire. Everything becomes a parable, a dead end, an ominous chapter heading. This is football recast as Sunset Boulevard, a club scuttling about its ruined mansion, makeup stating to crack.
…
How much more of this have they got left? How long before this mediocrity stops being cinematic and gripping? It is 10 years since Alex Ferguson left. United started winning 20 years before that. The post‑Fergie void is now half as long as the actual golden times. There will come a vanishing point at some stage, a moment where there is no more grand old family furniture left to throw into the fire.

If Ratcliffe buys out 25% of the club that would be a pretty sizable injection of cash that could go a long way toward fixing up the stadium and clearing out debt, among other things
Nah, that's what the Glazers want not what the club needs.
A minority stake puts us back to 2015. Absentee landlords who have no interest in winning only in keeping the cow barely alive so they can extract dividends.
25% barely covers the stadium upkeep (if you ignore the fact we need a new stadium in general) then there's the training facilities, the women's teams, the youth set up etc.
Keeping them in charge is not a viable option.

A minority stake is temporary, it would obviously be a move to take control eventually. If the Glazers don't want to sell because they're not happy with the (very good) offers they've been given, it would be better to start the process to the eventual full sale sooner rather than later.
iirc, that's how the Glazers themselves took control isn't it? Started with a minority stake.
Not a perfect option, but it might just be your best. The fans that are angry at Radcliffe for proposing this are mental
By Laboured Go To PostDamn, time even started going in reverse. Nothing can go right for that guy.
The good ETH is in the Lodge, and he can't leave. Write it in your diary.

Typical horse. Cry about wanting football to end but makes no effort to bankrupt any leagues or kill any players.

Didn't have a good week in the PL by my own high standards this season.
I'm 360th in the world in UCL helped by my correct prediction of Lens 2-1 Arsenal.
Why am I not trying a small flutter on some of these scores?!

Football isn’t completely dead.
I am currently watching Korean baseball with my team owned and named after Kia with LG and Samsung also having teams.
When I go to games I sing a song that translates to ‘without Kia I couldn’t live’
Klopp saying this has never happened before, literally happened to us last season. Last I checked we didn't get a replay.
Still so wild we replayed that FA Cup game because Kanu scored from a throw in.
But we all know Spurs are not as classy as us.
