in a clip of his childhood on tv earlier he was wearing a Gerrard dippers shirt.

From Warrington so split which end of the East Lancs they decide to support.

True, but those Glazers that want to sell have the same number of votes as those that want to stay. ( As far as I know). These plus A shares plus Ineos would outvote the rest.

But if the Glazers who want out sell their shares in the future to Ratcliffe, they revert to "worthless" A shares. Is that right?

If so, the remaining Glazers will still have control.

If there were 100 shares then the Glazers would have 69 shares. Jim getting 25% of those would give him 17 or 18 shares so he gets 17% or 18% of the total.

Are we still doing this? He is also buying 25% of the 31%, giving him in total .....

No I was just doing a maths problem. Don’t give a toss about the Rag bastards and their rat infested swamp.

We have our mouse!

Goal difference is usually a fairly good indicator of what your league position should be.

United's g/d is minus 5

10th/11th would be their rough position

Based on GD last season they should have finished in 7th not 3rd, again just due to fluking numerous undeserved narrow wins whilst being outplayed by the opposition team.

exactly, that is the point, they are in a false position and it is not sustainable in the long run

Unbeaten in the calendar year so far.

I think it is somewhat “sustainable”. They are shit, the worst “team” in the league for me. However, their players are generally better than some of the other teams around them. So they can beat a lot of teams with individual moments despite getting outplayed. Those tend to be narrow wins. But they can often get battered by the top teams as they are basically shit. Hence they can outperform their goal difference. They’ve done it for a good while now so I don't see why they can’t carry on doing that

I would like to wish the gpc a happy new year. As he sees his empire crumble I am sure he will reflect on the fact that he caused it all.
He may or may not be happy but I know I am.

The company constitution dictates the A & B shares which before the sale to Ragcliffe only glazers could hold B shares now they have sold B shares to him the constitution would have been modified thus further Bs can be sold and retain the 10:1
