It won't happen there will be some coloured Knights to save them that's the United way ;)

maybe the barron knights they was up for a laugh

the glazers have done a very good job at united and they could have been in alot more shit after the fergie years and they have won things under the glazers so what was the point in FUCM
the daft ****s with 1970s style of football club still think its about the beautiful game hahahaha just look at the bank balance its a business and you will fold without backing

they will piss in the pot of corporate money before not to long and sell out and will be just like big brother

Wow two lower league teams battling it out for a place in the fourth round, why was this on the tele ?

 

[cleavers]

I made an educated guess based on the figures we know that the club would fold around feb March. It's about 50 pages back. I stand by that. They will be gone before the season is out!

You'd better be right, otherwise a ban might be in order :p

That balance sheet reads like their cousins in stretford if they don't make top four this year. The circle is now complete.

Wow, just hemorrhaging left right and centre on everything.....
Women's team, Academy, ground maintenance, even the community work!
At least the club is true to their word.... they have always stated they are a not for profit club.....
They simply can't sustain these figures and any financial institution (or the council) offering a loan or overdraft surely must be aware of the mess they are in??? Which begs the question why did they give them a loan or overdraft?
This is a club that has been run by egos who loved spending other people's money. Largely tax payers money and money from fans who have been mugged off by chancers who lined their own pockets behind fans' backs
