Do you guys remember that time a united fan owned some ground that stopped our development and he sold tiny packages of land for HUGE markups and then refused to refund anyone ( I may have some slight details wrong tbh) Haha mad! They’ve been a shitshow for a while now!

“Declared his intent to hold talks with investors”

Translate that into normal language

He has made his mind up to ask somebody else if they will spend their money on this. Not had talks. Not an organised group

Utterly meaningless. That Howson bloke could say this being completely truthful.

So could I. In fact I’ll do it now

Ahem

I’ve decided I’m going to ask my best mate if he can lend me the money to buy City off the Sheik when I see him next

Well if your buying City I am declaring here and now I am putting a consortium together to buy the rags.





And then close them down and turn the swamp into a car park.

Yes, this an actual post on sad cafe

Yeah because that's a good description of the current situation.

Let me educate you: the Government isn't just one man in a room making decisions, there's such thing as a minister for sport who's responsibility is ensuring the best conditions for sport within the country. Our leading sport is Football... our biggest team is MUFC. It's not lunacy to suggest it would be of interest (and would be proper) for the Government to step in and correct the issue.

Not to mention MUFC is a major tourism draw and a national institution with endless historical significance.

Shame those tourists only turn up on Thursdays and happen to support Europa league clubs.
 
I wonder how this ****'s arteries will hold up when they inevitably fail to qualify for European football next season?

What they meant to say was… “This is not the rag team we signed up to support when we were winning everything”

There are some fair enough criticisms of the Glazers, but for so many United fans it boils down to: we should be winning everything like in the 90s. They can't figure out that the reason everyone still enjoys this is because their "bad" years consist of, what, a few fifth place finishes and a cup or two? Most football fans can only dream of that and they're out here shitting themselves in public.
 
yeah whatever !! said:
I had to laugh when I saw the Glazers at the swamp on Sunday. Normally many billionaires have an air of style and sophistication tinged with a nice suit.
Them lot looked like a couple of half pissed train drivers plucked from a picket line.

Fantastic owner, shows he’s dedicated to the cause.

You never see Sheikh Mansour at the Etihad.

Obviously he hasn't got the cash himself but he talks of getting Sir Jim Ratcliffe on board and he most certainly can afford it. Doesn't mean the Glazers will sell though!

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that.

I believe he's worth about £8bn, so unless he's prepared to blow what would realistically need to be half his entire wealth on buying and then investing in every aspect of the club, which seems pretty unlikely, then he can't really afford it.

Fair enough - I saw a figure of around £21bn but also another which states $12bn
