Will Big Sir Jim Ratcliffe be a success at Manchester United? Who knows? But a lot of naïveté and moaning about a minority shareholding, and one granted executive power. Seems more likely to be the beginning of the end of the Glazers than a new era for them. Who do you back to succeed the battle for power? The self-made richest man in Britain or the offspring of a deceased self-made man? How did the Glazers seize control? By initially taking a minority share, admittedly through a simpler equity process. Minority shareholders can be powerful: look at the Disney Company for an example.

Feels like some wanted the City September 2008 scenario that is prevented by FFP in any case, a Great Soprendo to magic up a new stadium and buy Mbappe. It couldn’t happen, and isn’t actually how the club’s best days happened, in spending the money the club commercially made on new players mixed with youth products. Even hobbled by the Glazers, the club has spent as much as City anyway, though interest rates and FFP will now curb that. The debt is £1bn, the ATM is closed.

So let’s see what fresh ideas and impetus bring, rather than beefing that your mystery benefactor was going to cure all ills. More details of this great lost megadeal came from Qatar in exiting the process than actually during it. Funny, that.

And, in a football world where it’s quite depressing how its economic structure means most clubs need such takeovers/mass injections of cash to compete at elite level, United are one of the few clubs that don’t

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

So many elements of Qatar bid remain so curious - not least how often there was a social media flurry it was “imminent”

The Glazers are not good owners but United should always have been above being a proxy/project for any state

Football is and always has been largely dull. You persevere with the tapping it about and watch it for that moment of elation when the ball hits the net. It makes everything else worth it. And they’ve taken it away.

What better way to mark the return of Leo Varadkar as Taoiseach than to watch Emmet Kirwan evaluate him.

@arghkid Ranieri and magath at Fulham?

@AlexShawESPN Luke Shaw might have a look at himself aswell. All four pictures show him caught out of position and goals down his side

[Rob Dawson @RobDawsonESPN]

Honestly think OGS is the right man at Man United. Done a good job in moving club forward, wants to entertain and has earned the right to have time with this squad, which changed more than he was expecting in the summer. Not easy to find rhythm when early season is so stop-start.

[Brian Collopy @collopy_brian]

@JayMotty Was that 02/03? He was brilliant that season. Spurs away one of my favourite goals. The flick to giggs with his head. Wouldn't of won the league without him that season
