Just watched Sweinsteiger (sp) Twitter elougy about the scum. Only thing missing is an orange overall.

He's just too nice a guy to slag them off. Unlike the knobhead who has made him train with the youth team all season.

The Glazers could be in trouble. I've just read an article in the FT saying that US retail group Sears may be facing big financial difficulties. Sears own Kmart, who are one of the big tenants in many of their shopping malls. If they go under and/or pull their stores from the malls, the First Allied business could collapse. As I've said before,it's believed to be heavily leveraged, with big loans taken out against the malls and its also entirely possible that they've had to put up United shares as security for some of their lending. If that's the case (although there's no proof of this) then it could potentially impact the rags in some way. No one really knows what their situation is as they've hidden the key companies behind secrecy walls in Delaware & the Cayman Islands but the rags' shares appear to be the only decent assets they have after the malls themselves (which are heavily mortgaged).

Going to be interesting to see how that one plays out.

Sears stores are in many malls, but not Kmart.

That could work out good or bad.
They may take more cash out of the rags or they may end up selling them to someone who will out some cash in for them to spend

You're right in that many Sears are in indoor shopping malls, but KMarts are almost exclusively in strip malls (i.e. those outdoor, roadside shopping centres) which is what First Allied are heavily concentrated in. Every week there's all manner of regional to national level chains cuttings stores all across the US. They must be suffering.

Interesting....Very Interesting..

Sears ate up K Mart quite a few years ago in Canada and closed them all, and Sears stores have been shutting down over the past few years as well.
There won't be any left soon.
Hopefully this doesn't cripple the twats because the last thing we need is for them to sell up.

Retail shopping itself is under heavy threat imo with the Advent of online shopping and delivery. Every time I go to a mall, seems like a couple more stores have closed since the last time. Could be some very tough times ahead for those who didn't see the changes coming.

Thanks Prestwich-Blue. Let's see how many of the 659 million remain loyal if/when things go tits up. I suspect most will say they don't care about football anymore.
