Ratcliffe seemed an obvious player at the time the club was put up for sale but it was shot down, I think by his brother saying the Premier League is far to expensive to invest in.

I'm not sure if that was a smokescreen, or why there has been a change of heart.

The problem is now this has come in so late it's difficult to know whether it's the right bid. I know information has been limited but at least some things have leaked through about all the bids so far to at least build a bit of a feeling across them. No idea what the plan would be here. Will there be significant investment in the squad? Thoughts on Tuchel? Long term plans? Continued investment in Academy and women's teams? Plans with the stadium?

You have to believe this has been well thought through by him and he's been doing a lot of due diligence behind the scenes before presenting this offer. I guess we'll see what Raine and the club make of the bid...

Well, he’s certainly saying the things we want to hear there, huh? Wants to turn us into a proper super club, invest in the squad without caring about profiting, etc.

God knows he has insane wealth. He probably vaults himself to the top of the pile in the eyes of those choosing.

So, Boehly vs Ratcliffe it is. If the UK government is involved at all they’ll probably favor the British-led bid I assume.

Either way, this is awesome for us. The two best prospective owners battling it out. Neither would run the club like Arse or Spuds. We would see proper ambition.
