the bid status us fascinating.  I honestly don't know the ins and outs of Ratcliffe's bud as he has been rather ambiguous on all details but I am sure it's not that dissimilar to Qatar.  it sounds like a bit of a co-operative deal.

I just think the fan base has got so emotionally attached to Qatar to the point of seeing sportswashing in motion where these people kowtow to the Qataris.   judging by how Qatar run PSG, it's a massive red flag

Man Utd sale: Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim makes improved offer to buy club

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has made an improved offer to buy Manchester United.

Sources have told BBC Sport a fresh bid was submitted on Tuesday morning amid further talks involving the Raine Group, who are handling the sale.

The Qatari banker and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos Group are the two main parties looking to buy the Old Trafford club.

today on fakeover roulette.   I actually know how man United fans feel, it took 4 years of fakeovers and FA delays to finally get rid of Ashley.

the way I follow it is Qatar want a full buy out and privatisation of man United, 5.5bn after tax is about 60% of the market value so the glazers and 30% shareholders will be well within reason to tell them to go fly.  Ratcliffe is 2bn after tax but the club remains 50% owned by the glazers and shareholders.

I'm guessing if anyone matches the clubs 3.5bn valuation as after tax they will go

It looks like we will get an announcement on the ownership this week.

Looking on social media there is a clear divide. The fans in there 20's, who have a good memory of the Fergie years and before, see Qatari investment as grim. Whilst teenagers on the cesspit platforms are ready to get the celebration emoji's out.
