The figure was originally about recognition of brand IIRC, it got transmuted into 'fans' for media/PR purposes. Plus it's an example of flawed extrapolation of figures - the sample was a few 1000's and that got ramped up to the world population.

How anyone can believe it , is laughable, giving
it also hasn't changed in , what, 5 years?, it's also trotted out in their annual report, yearly.
To my mind, It would be an issue if your fan base is publicised as being so static for so many years, but apparently not.

It would seem no one born in the last five years supports the rags. Kids are smarter than you think.

At City Square this Sunday, we might have the first celebrity defection.

Actor Thomas Turgoose will be chatting to our presenting team before kick off. He grew up on our screens playing Shaun Field in Shane Meadows acclaimed film and TV series “This Is England”.

Turgoose is a supporter of both Grimsby Town and Manchester U****d

I started a thread on this, but called it 9.5% of the world's population support the cunts. The BBC should be ashamed of that article.

Even if this were true, it still means that 90.5% of the world's population hate the cunts!

That's exactly what I'm saying. I have to make assumptions as their business affairs are hidden behind walls of secrecy in Delaware and the Cayman Islands but Andy Green, a united fan who blogs as Andersred, did a great series of blogs on their malls business about 5 years ago and there were publicly available records about the charges over those properties that he had access to.

The debt on the rags' books appears to have been secured on the club's assets, according to the bond and flotation documents. What their other business and any personal debts are secured against can only be speculated on but they can't use the Tampa Bay Buccaneers so united shares are the only assets they appear to have.

Rollback - For a supposed City fan, most of your posts are on this thread and you've been very active in defending the Glazers. Anything you'd like to tell us?

Anybody that refers to "Sugar Daddies" is always suspect. Just realised that I have not thought that one through properly.

What is it with the national broadcaster and its obsession with these scum?

They do nothing to warrant such sycophantic bullshit, have slipped from their position as serial winners and are going the way of Liverpool after the 80s, yet still we get this propaganda about 'taking over the world'. This is utter shit.

If those cunts get Mourinho it will become even worse too, it was bad enough when he was at Chelsea. Thing is, if they do get him and sign Neymar we can pretty much kiss another title goodbye unless we sign Messi or Bale and three new defenders.

Glad to see your optimism!
 
They're wearing socks on ice-cated frozen glass. The BBC are only a few steps away from licking Man U's ringpiece. I always expect to see every article draw positives for that lot. Sometimes the links are tedious.

That's net debt, which is total debt less available cash. The trouble is the cash gets used to pay wages, dividends, tax, instalments on players, etc. Their gross debt is actually just under the £450m mark and is up about £30m from the year end. They're borrowing more rather than paying it off.

Do you know where they got the money to pay off their PICs?

No. They've never said and their accounts are private. But a pound to a penny they borrowed it in some form as I'm pretty sure they didn't have the something like £700m it took to repay them lying around in cash. And if they did borrow that amount, they quite probably used the shares to secure that borrowing. Hence my theory (and I'm not claiming it's anything else) that the value of the club if sold might not even be enough to repay all the debts secured on the shares they'd be selling.

I don't know if this should go into an existing bbc thread or united thread so I just started a new one.

Anyways, on the bbc website now there is a headline that reads 'Are United about to rule the world?' I mean really? Why do the bbc lick their arse so much? Endless programmes about the 'class of 92', the whole Pep to United thing. The bbc were reporting that he could join united and when it came out he was comin to City, they said it was 'the worst kept secret'???

'659 million fans. 116 million social media followers'... Some stats they used to show just how big united are, BORE OFF!!! Why show the social media followers anyway when you've said how many they have worldwide? haha

Basically what im asking here is, why do the bbc love them so much? And will united rule the world? haha

It's the same as their love-in with the Tories. They are the propaganda machine for The Establishment, nothing more, nothing less.
