Cost of a new stadium probably end up being over 3 billion. No way United can handle all that debt. Still can't help thinking ineos are some way going to take the brunt of that debt on as a way of getting majority ownership of the club. But we will see!
No clear plan if continues to go wrong wtf 🤔
🚨🚨🎙️| @David_Ornstein: “I think the truth here at Old Trafford is that they do want Michael Carrick to succeed.
If they wanted to remove him and make a change, I think they would’ve already done it by now and found an interim solution. With that result in midweek against Roma, there was a bit of improved spirit, and let’s see what happens against Villa today.
There isn’t a firm plan here at Old Trafford for what to do if they were to make a change. No doubt they would’ve had conversations with representatives in recent weeks, and they’ll have more time to do so over the international break.
A disastrous result today might make you think there will be a change, but as things stand, they’re continuing with Michael Carrick. I don’t know of a clear alternative plan.”

So if you wanted the big name signings in you now know who's stopped it. But i think we already knew.
Avram and Joel Glazer have remained intimately involved in setting #mufc's budgets even since granting Sir Jim Ratcliffe control once he bought 28.9% of shares.
They are included in talks on Michael Carrick’s future [@lauriewhitwell]
Anyone that reduces power of Glazer leeches I'm backing 100% no questions asked. If Jim can't go more than the 29% I'll back the next person. But for now until someone comes in with real money massive bid then Jims currently our only hope. Whether you like the situation or not
What a thing to say! Good luck if want them back in charge of sporting side
🚨 NEW: Avram Glazer has told an audience of financiers that sports teams at Manchester United’s level are not dependent on success on the pitch for commercial power.
United’s co-owner was making a rare speaking appearance at Deutsche Bank’s inaugural Sports Investment Conference in London.
Sources said he argued his club’s value is incubated from the effects of sporting variance in the same way that the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys still stand out as major global brands.

If he needs at least 10 new players that's 3-4 summer windows assuming every transfer actually lands. No United manager ever gets that long. So they need to back him more each window with 5 or 6 players. Which they probably won't.
🚨 Ralf Rangnick on why Manchester United are taking their time before sacking Michael Carrick:
“I think I’m seeing something here that perhaps other people aren’t seeing. And I’ll be honest, I’m still standing firmly behind my belief that Michael Carrick is the right man for this job.
I’ve been in that position before. I know what it takes to rebuild a football club, and I can see that he’s on the right path.
This is exactly the kind of patience Manchester United have refused to show in recent years. When you’re building something special, it takes time. You cannot expect everything to change overnight.
Sacking Carrick now is not the solution. Bring in another manager, and perhaps you’ll see a short-term improvement. But what happens after that? We start the entire process again. At some point, this club has to stop going around in circles and commit to a project.
Let’s be honest, there are players in this squad who simply don’t fit Carrick’s style of football. But that’s why we have a transfer window. Give him the opportunity to bring in the players he needs before judging what he can build.
In my opinion, Manchester United need at least 10 new players. I’m not exaggerating. This squad needs a serious rebuild if the club wants to compete with the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Europe’s biggest clubs again.
We have to stop fooling ourselves. The manager cannot keep taking the blame for problems that existed long before he arrived.
Michael Carrick might not be the problem. Manchester United’s biggest problem is that they keep changing managers without ever fixing the club.”
Whether Ratcliffe buys further into the club only time will tell. But one things for sure he needs to step back from making decisions on appointing people. Been horrendous so far. Best in class you said so find the people who can deliver that.

🚨 JUST IN: Sir Jim Ratcliffe has a clear path to take majority control of Manchester United from the Glazers in the second half of 2029. Under the club’s $550m June refinancing, a “Stadium Event” lets United repay those loans penalty-free from 10 June 2029; combined with the revolving credit facility expiring at the end of that year, this creates a window to clear the remaining Glazer leveraged-buyout debt and potentially shift it onto Ineos’s books if Ratcliffe lifts his 28.94% stake.
That would free United’s balance sheet and unlock far more borrowing capacity for a £2–3bn stadium, for which land has already been bought. It still depends on the Glazers selling and Ineos (already carrying over £10bn of net debt) being willing and able to take on more leverage.

🔍 Could 2029 be the year Sir Jim Ratcliffe seeks majority control of #MUFC from the Glazers?
😡 Plenty of fans making little distinction between Ratcliffe & the Glazers these days
💵 But with owner debate raging, the small print from $550m summer refinancing of historic Glazer debt offers clues around how a new stadium could yet become a vehicle through which the ownership structure itself is transformed

Every single thing that happens at United needs to be leaked. Even clear the air talks 🤣 Just do it & get on with your work, do your jobs. We DONT need to know. Gossip club!
Glazers & decency in the same sentence 🤣
🚨 NEW:
Sources say that the handling of Manchester United’s job cuts by Sir Jim Ratcliffe did NOT sit well with the Glazers, particularly Joel and Avram.
One source says that Ratcliffe’s implementation of the program jarred with Joel’s “sense of decency and old-fashioned values”.
#MUFC [@MarkOgden_]
The two guys in Carrington this morning deciding Carricks future are the two guys who's future should be out of United. This is all wrong!
