Radcliffe needs to be on board. I'd prefer Radcliffe was the head of such a effort Ratcliffe definitely is a credible figurehead for a takeover consortium, but he's repeatedly said he's unlikely to go for United as he wants to learn about the business from taking over Nice first. He only seems to be in the frame because Knighton has implored him to get involved. But, yeah, that's the level we need here. |

We’re honesty knackered unless another Oil nation with questionable human rights decides that, actually, that decrepit old thing, Manchester United is actually retro and cool, let’s buy it!
No billionaire with his money is buying us. There’s far too much to do. A complete footballing overhaul. A new stadium. New training facilities. Add those onto the near £7billion+ you’re gonna have to stump up to even get the Florida Men to the table, and you can see why we’re fucking doomed!

Unless there is a government intervention like there was with Chelsea we absolutely will not be sold. |

Didn’t he nearly destroy Carlisle? Yes and no. He saw them promoted but built a new stand instead of new signings. The manager left and they got relegated. He sacked the next guy to get promotion, then the fans turned and stopped supporting the club financially. He basically ran out of money and goodwill. |

He promoted two younger coaches who did the managing but he stood with them in the dugout 'to take the flak if they were getting abuse'. A bit daft; at least it was an honourable intention. |

In my experience if its too good to believe, then it normally is. Radcliffe has the credentials to run this kind of operation plus he's an engineer like myself 😁 and engineers are problem solvers and united is one big fucking problem. Knightons desire to bring him onboard is obviously a financial decision but the right one. I admire his pledge to turn 25% of club over to the fans but in all honesty I just want competent owners who won't saddle the club with debt and show the determination to turn it around. That's all I want. |

He’s returned like an old pile of dog sick you find in the corner of your room!
‘BACK THE MK CONSORTIUM ’ he shrieks on Twatter, I’ve had a quick look online (Gov.UK) and the ‘MK Consortium’ was dissolved in 2020 and was connected with the medical profession, and Consortium MK are also listed ,and concerned with, the ‘improvement’ of Milton Keynes ,so I don’t think it’s them😂
He had rather a Twatter rant earlier, and had threatened ‘to sue’ Mr ‘Ste’ Howson.
So not all bad then 😂😂

When can we expect the prospectus? |

When can we expect the prospectus? I think he's abit of a show pony. Radcliffe tried to buy Chelsea for £4.25bn, so he's obviously interested in buying a PL team and he's a northern lad who supports the club. If Knighton somehow gets him involved then I'll change my opinion but I seriously doubt they can muster that kind of money together and essentially rebuild the club without him. |
