100th time lucky for Knighton?
He's an absolute buffoon 
Mike Knights
How much has he raised?
I'd like to throw my hat in the race for a hostile takeover.
Has he done any kick ups on the pitch yet?
How much is his £10m from 1989 worth today? That's a nice starting point.
Who is he? Can someone give me a quick summary? Would this be a good thing?
If he can form some kind of partnership with Ratcliffe or someone like him he might have a chance, otherwise he's just wasting his time.
Why do people keep listening to this charlatan? He's a complete joke.
Knowing our luck he’d get nutmegged by Fred the Red in the centre circle as the funds get rejected.
About £24m...
More chance of Michael Keaton buying us than this guy
Anybody wealthy enough to buy out the Glazers sure as hell isn't going to share it, that's for sure.
So he has a book coming out then?
He once played Keepie uppie infront of the Stretford End wearing the world's tightest Bryan Robson cosplay. Google it.
More chance Keira Knightley buying us
Edit: his surname is Knighton

Watching the video he says everything is ready but he needs Ratcliffe to come forward. So maybe everything isn’t ready…
He could probably raise quite a sum from selling the original 'Kit' vehicle if he still has it!
What is actually a lot worse than the Glazers is fecking crazy owners or fan owned. That would really destroy us.
Hostile bid? Does that mean you offer way below the value price then get turned away?
Prat.
We'll be fine as long as there are levers to pull
He used to own Carlisle United, once made himself manager and ran them into the ground. He's an idiot.
It's a bid riddled with expletives
So this isn't exactly great news?
Based on Knighton's past history it's probably more akin to fan fiction than news.
But, in fairness, it's the correct approach The only thing the Glazers will listen to is money.
Hats off for playing the long game, Michael. Wow.
He's not serious. He's an attention whore and he knows that talking about the Glazers/United gets his name back in the news. No real potential buyer would go into business with this guy.
Hostile bid? What does it even mean? Time to get the pitchforks ready or what?
Doesn’t sound very convincing, but I respect that he appears to be doing something about it. Hopefully it’s not all hot air because even if he fails, a failed bid would get significant airtime and would add to the anti glazer momentum, which I believe is a good thing.
Google says he’s worth 7m quid. Please tell me Google is wrong?
Weve got a better chance of Michael Bolton buying out the Glazers than this guy...
Kudos for him to start asking the question even though its a futile effort.
We need some one like Jim Ratcliffe to come onboard and buy us from the leeches.
There should be a protest against the Glazers before every home game

It means the club is not officially for sale, so your consortium pays way over the odds for each share to guarantee that most shareholders will sell to you.
In my head he is doing jazz hands everytime he says ‘hostile bid’.
I can’t think the glazers let alone anybody else will take him seriously. I certainly don’t.

What percentage of the club is owned by non-glazers? It’s not much is it?
Google says he’s with 7m quid. Please tell me Google is wrong?
It's like me walking into the Porsche garage and flashing them the tenner in my wallet and asking to see their best 911 Turbo.
