🚨 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.

So here’s where we are at…..
@The__1958 cannot fight this battle against the owners on their own, that’s plain to see.
Unless ALL major supporters groups of MANCHESTER UNITED come together and start singing from the same song sheet then we are totally fucked.
It’s a now or never moment in my opinion. it’s time for every supporters club, fan group and offical trust to work towards a greater good.
Fuck dialogue with the club, it’s pointless and has been for years.
I believe the only way forward is for the FAB and FF to cut the club off with a vote of no confidence. That’s the start. Then…. Let your feet do the talking, however that looks. Any details of protests, be it a walk out, sit in, boycott or whatever the plan may be will be utterly pointless unless everyone supports it.
Thats the sad reality here, time to wake the fuck up or……
Enjoy Ratcliffe and the Glazers for the unforeseeable
It’s up to you
Fcukn hell. Think they was walking into a funeral.
From #mufc open training this morning:
Kobbie Mainoo back in training after missing last four games.
No Luke Shaw - he’s been out since Spurs.
No Marcus Rashford - he remains out with a hip injury + managing pain in his thigh.
Amir Ibragimov, Jim Thwaites and 17-year-old Jariyah Shah were also in the session.
On @SkySportsNews throughout the day.
He's been underwhelming sesko. Can't deny it.
🚨 Confirmed: Benjamin Sesko out until at least January through shin injury.
Period of rest is required so striker is fully healed.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe might be regarded as a genius in his field of petrochemicals but as co-owner of Man Utd, he leads a clueless cabal, in a state of perma-crisis, torching the reputations of everyone they have touched, writes @oliverbrown_tel

Few of us Lisbon wi out briefs. Anyone doesn't fancy it gimme a shout. Can return favour wi domestic aways. @UtdTickets
Ineos probably sounded out available gaffers and was told fuck off. Be Dyche by xmas when rooted in bottom 3.

Nothing changes until the Glazers go, it’s that simple. Ratcliffe aimed low not high targetting loyal fans and until the ownership changes, nothing changes. It all seeps down and then you get a riddled dressing room. To borrow a title, The Betrayal of a Legend.

Since the start of the 2024-25 season, Manchester United have won just 32 Premier League games out of 84. Twelve of those wins came in a 17-game run after Michael Carrick took over last season. Those four months aside, they have been dreadful for two years.
They have had two strong spells (one under Erik ten Hag in the middle period of 2022-23, one under Carrick in the second half of last season) in five years. Beyond that, under a succession of managers, there have been long periods of dysfunction, discord and disinterested performances that leave you wondering what on earth this team is meant to look like.
And that is a reflection of the club’s ownership, a regime that has taken so much out of United — well over £1billion ($1.3bn) in interest payments, refinancing costs and bond buybacks to prop up the Glazer family’s ownership after their leveraged takeover 21 years ago.
When fans wonder why a club with £677.6million revenue has been under pressure to bring down the wage bill, signing second-rate players and leaving gaps in their squad, it is partly because they are still paying a heavy price for years of mistakes in the transfer market and partly because the debt carries such a burden on the club’s finances.
Then there is Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who arrived as a minority shareholder in early 2024 and spoke breezily about how he planned to restore Manchester United to greatness with a smart, strategic approach. How’s that going, Sir Jim? If anything, his decision-making has been even worse than that of the previous Glazer-led regime, which is really saying something.

**THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE SALOON**
Our club have acted from day one as though the new stadium is already a done deal.
Surveys built around theoretical scenarios, diluting the voices of the very people who fill Old Trafford and have devoted their lives to this club.
There is a rot, a decay, a sense of hopelessness all due to the Glazers and Ratcliffe. They have sucked the life and dignity out of our club.
**Make no mistake. We are at a crossroads**
Act now or wave goodbye to the Manchester United you once knew.
Over the coming weeks, we will lay out clear plans. Plans that demand **ACTION**
And those actions will be down to **YOU, the fanbase.**
Not The 1958. Not another supporters' group. Not somebody else.
**YOU**
You might not like us. You might think we should smash the place up or somehow empty a 75,000 seat stadium.
We don't care what you think of us. It's all irrelevant.
This is bigger than The 1958. Bigger than egos, personalities and petty differences.
**Get behind the action or STFU when the club tramples all over you.**
Stop waiting for somebody else to fight your battles.
Because if we sit back and everything we've warned about becomes reality, don't start complaining that nobody did anything.
**You were warned. You had a choice.**
The plans will be crystal clear. The actions will be crystal clear.
The question is whether enough Reds give a shit to follow through.
**More to follow. Get your notifications on.**
The 1958 🇾🇪
It's criminal
Since 2005 Premier League clubs have had a total interest cost on borrowings and financial debt of £3.5bn.
One club and one set of owners is responsible for 35% of the total.
