Fingers crossed this guy is our new owner. We could operate in the transfer market with a clear conscience.

This feels like someone being interviewed for a job that that the employers have already decided they're going to give to one of the other candidates. Have to follow due process and speak to all the other candidates out of respect...

"We'll be in touch...."

They'll give him a United goody bag and off he pops back to Nice...

Even wants to see inside the megastore. The man is through. An eye for detail. Exactly what we need.
I thought he was regular match goer?

Exactly, only day trippers go in the megastore, not local reds, so he’d never actually been in there before.

He is. At Stamford Bridge.

Rumours he’s left already, hems of his jeans sodden with piss.

Last time he was at match the club store was still being run by Sir Matt.

Certainly looks like it.

The oil lads get a Thursday when the squad aren’t even in the country. Don’t even bother sending along the actual bidder because they know it’s not looking good.

Big Jim gets the VIP treatment. Meets the squad and the boss after a famous European win. Cameras everywhere.

Doesn’t take a genius to work it out tbh.

Qataris will probably just buy ineos to stop him bidding.

Yep. Very obviously the preferred bidder. 100% red carpet treatment. ‘Radcliffe 7’ on the back of a shirt from the megastore. Complimentary tea, coffee and chilled bottled water. All free of charge.they’re very obviously laying it on for him.

Apparently they gave him little plastic covers for his shoes when they toured the toilets

No they weren’t, well not at the stadium anyway. They had a relatively short tour of Old Trafford, then moved on to Carrington, where the actual talks were held.

Just like Jimothy is doing.

Not a fan of him carrying a little handbag and his flunkies with backpacks. Not befitting a billionaire at all.
