It is thought around £245m in additional funds will be made available by Ratcliffe for infrastructure works related to the stadium.

Seems like the only decent thing to come out for this for United fans, so far; Old Trafford has been crumbling for years now.

The alternative was Qatari state funded ownership. I don't care how shit the team is on the pitch, I don't want my club to ever become a state owned sportswashing project. I'd honestly rather keep the Glazer's in full control than become another Man City or Newcastle. That's the best thing about this for me, we really don't need owners to pump money into the club. We just need owners who are actually going to implement a proper structure to build for long-term success.

Our owner has dodgy links, but I'd rather forest go back to the championship than be bought be a slave state and buy a load of players , then recruit a load of glory fans

Isnt he that fat greek mafia guy?

Yes, has links to drug trafficking through his shipping business .

Isn't a thing to proud of , but I think a rich man linked to some shady deals is not the same as turning your club into a complete state run sportswashing project . Which the PL or Governemnt doesn't dare stand up to
