I'm one of the most left wing members of this forum based on posts I've read, but don't think Ken Loach would make a great owner of United tbh.

I accept this….as I said earlier, and to quote the UK’s most evil ever prime minister…”there is no alternative”

We're not going to sign a bloke who's had a 13 year career and racked up barely 300 appearances.

Piss simmering nicely already 👍

Imagine getting wound up by a non-rival club’s new owners giving out some standard PR talk to their fans

I couldn’t tell you a single thing the Newcastle owners said when they came in and it’d be odd if I could.
Even when we're not competing for titles, we still manage to cause the jealous ABU clowns to boil some searious piss, it makes us all so prould to be reds

This stadium thing is all very nice but I think we should focus on not being shit at football first.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has ordered ­Manchester United’s staff to raise standards after describing the level of ­untidiness in offices as a “disgrace” and some dressing rooms as “not much better”.

Ratcliffe, the minority owner who now controls United’s football policy, made his comments after a two-day tour of Old Trafford and the ­Carrington training ground.

He wrote: “I had a good tour around some of the facilities. I am afraid I was struck in many places by a high degree of untidiness. In particular the IT department, which frankly was a disgrace, and the dressing rooms of the U18 and U21 were not much better.”

His remarks in an email to staff were sent on Friday afternoon. Ratcliffe then compares the standards with that of Ineos, the multibillion-pound company he owns.

“These standards would not come close to what we would expect at Ineos and we are a chemical company. Manchester United is an elite sporting organisation. It’s a small thing in many ways but unless an organisation has standards and ­discipline it will not succeed.

“I would be grateful in future if we adopt the proper standards of housekeeping everywhere. It reflects poorly on the club if we have visitors, young player parents, new players and the media and they see we don’t care enough to keep things shipshape.”

Doesn't surprise me.



But it doesn't really matter who the owners are, ten hag is responsible for standards throughout the club.
