You read that statement from the glazers they looking for new investors and would “consider” selling the club! Any moaning protests the glazers can just point out we doing our best to sell the club like the fans want! A win win for the glazers..
 
The death of the world cup, just as it was starting to warm up.
24 hours of daily Raggy sensationalism from now until the lord's birthday instead

Long interview with Kompany on Gab and Juls.
Great listening if long pods are your bag.

Apt username.

I used the word because it’s the right word? The word for the crime that is punishable by death in the UAE.

I could have written “leaving/renouncing your religion” but why would I, when there’s literally a word for it?

As for the rest of your comment, it’s stupid bullshit. You don’t need to live in a Utopia to have an opinion a country where it’s illegal to be gay, get raped or criticise the government.

It is people like you that improve my education, you use a word I do not know and I look it up to improve my knowledge.

Take no notice of the detractors, keep up the good work.

Feckin Stone on bbc suggesting (or stating 'some suggest') that if the 800m 'loaded debt' had been spent on the pitch they could have better matched City - eh? they spent more than us in the period anyway, didn't they?

The bbc news referred to that as the 'perceived lack of investment''

Yes they have,but some can’t get their heads around it’s not so much how much you spend it’s spending it wisely and on the correct players for that specific role or formation,the rags have scattergun spent the majority of times out of desperation to stay relevant ..

I don't know why people on here will happily laugh at how Old Trafford is falling apart, roof is leaking, their academy is 10 years behind ours, Ronaldo said the gym equipment hadn't changed since he left in 2003....but then also won't accept the Glazers didn't invest well in the club.

Buying players is about 5% of what a club does, the Glazers' haven't touched the other 95%.

Even their commercial department + growth has stagnated in the last 5 years while all the other big clubs in the country have grown 30-50%

They’ve invested heavily on the pitch tbf, which is what fans care about most, but let the stadium and training ground go to shit. Unless they get a very wealthy benefactor then I can’t see any new owners spending considerably more on players than the Glazers have.

Investing in the team and investing "well" are two different things though, not to mention investing in a decent manager and letting him do his job.

That's fair enough, apart from the 5%. When we are criticised, by people who know what they are taking about, for "unlimited" spending, they really mean on infrastructure: stadium, arena, surrounding area, academy and the like. It just gets picked up and repeated by morons who think it's about buying players.

It is true that we have an owner willing to invest more of his own moneys in these areas, which aren't as restricted financially, than other clubs. Tough. We have better owners. Not richer, just better.

I agree they probably won't spend more on transfers, but I suspect the cost and corner cutting seriously affects how those players perform and which players they buy.

If they’re not investing in the gym, how much are they investing in their sports scientists, nutritionists and medical team?

Are Darren Fletcher and Benni McCarthy world class coaches or are they just happy to have the job?

Spend the Glazer dividends on that kind of stuff and it’ll make a big difference.
