Simon Jordan has slammed Manchester United fans as self-entitled and “detached from reality” while defending the club’s hugely unpopular owners.
United are 163 days into the process of being sold, with the Glazer family considering takeover bids from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, as well as offers from investment groups. The Glazers are expected to announce their preferred bidder in the coming days, following the third and final deadline on Friday.
The club’s fans have regularly protested against the Glazers, who completed a debt-leveraged takeover in 2005. Meanwhile, there has been lots of debate over whether the offers from Ratcliffe or Sheikh Jassim would represent the best way forward for United.
