Big Jim is in - Official

Is he any good in nets?

Was pro Quatar bid but any bid is better than the slide we find ourselves in.

Sort out the leadership shit show and move from there.

The only positive is he might run the football better. He'd struggle to run it worse.

Yes - it's better than nothing and could things get any worse?

The widespread presumption that it is just a 25% stake and then nothing further will happen and the gimps will still sit pretty in actual control - this seems a bit strange to me, even dooming for dooming's sake.

I am pretty confident that SJR possesses what it takes to outwit the Glazers, if it does indeed come to that.

I’d say you’re too stupid to have two logins.

Hope he brings back greenwood!

the acid test will be if he keeps ETH.
keeping him on next season and it’s all been a waste of time

I don’t know how any Utd fan can’t at least be cautiously optimistic about this deal
Sure we’d all love the Glazer’s completely purged from the club but let’s be honest the only aspect of the club we actually care about is the football side of the club and Ratcliffe has gained full control of that

The structure being proposed and personnel in key positions being put forward can only be viewed positively
Whether it will turn us around or not only time will tell but finally we’re getting top class experienced people into these key positions of the club’s football operation

This isn’t an impossible job and we’re not cursed as a club, the mess we find ourselves in is the result of years of bad decisions
If we start to make good decisions then this will slowly start to turn around

Not if Murtough's buying the ladders. £99 at Wickes and that @#%&! would insist on paying a grand for them.

Not official until the hot scarf shot IMO.

It's got to be a good thing. More money for players and better expertise behind the scenes.

He's no mug, and he's not going to pay all that money to not have an influence. Much better than being state-owned, imo.

Welcome, Sir James

Avram, Joel, Jimmy and Big Graham Potter.

We're BACK!

You will never accept him, we get this

It’s nobody’s first choice, but it’s better than nothing. Something we all would have welcomed two years ago, but not one year ago.

The Glazers don’t want to sell and have what they want, but that doesn’t meant we can’t benefit too.

Absolutely paramount is having somebody running football operations who actually cares about excellence and standards. I think we have that.

As long as the glazers have majority control of the club, I have my doubts and it has the potential to be a vague cluster£#%&!, but anything that reduces the Glazers control of the club is largely positive

An awful lot of work starts now

Decent summary

I’m in the not arsed camp until we hear from him.
