A Rags comment to me today......

Fact of the matter is fella, that no matter how open you think the finances are - you will find you're not being told everything - not with any business the size of the Rags.
Case in point - a few years back there was an exposé on ticket touts around the Swamp - one of the worst culprits was Pete the Greek, and the upshot of this was that the tickets were coming straight from the Rags themselves - simple really, big demand for tickets... either sell them at face value or ship them to a third party who sells them for double their value and make more money.
Now while legal action was bandied the proof was not forthcoming, but I know and you know it is true... there's nowhere else those tickets could have come from (and lets be fair all top level clubs probably did it)

Now you show me where in the books they jotted those profits down.

hahaha you should remember the govt got you out of the murdoch deal not the fans, and your stadium was twice "improved" with govt money
you had a rich sugar daddy that led to your 1st trophies and another one selling contaminated meat to schoolchildren to fund your subsequent success, you tart!


half truths and rumours become fact ...oh dear...

lets take the first point..the monopolies and mergers commision ( not the governement that was being suopported by the Murdoch press at the time) ...upheld the lobbied points raised by the fans group...the MMC was called in AFTER the fans highlighted and raised the necaasary funds to fight a legal battle.

The stadium has NEVER been funded by the goverement..I explianed earleir about 1996 ..in 1966 a GRANT of £45,000 was paid to OT...it was repaid in 1971

as for Louis edwards..I aint going to defend them

ok, monopolies & merger comm, quango, nonetheless an arm of the state, which wouldn't be arsed unless mp's raised the matter, the fan power's doing a grand job at the mo, keep it up... post WW2 rebuild? split hairs all you like, a truth is a truth, how's the weather in Mozambique and Maidenhead? It's a bit grey in Moston.

is that it ...I debunk these myths that have perpetuated in the city fans minds about United " buying" sucees with PLC floats, massive individual sky and goverment payments..and you give me a few crims selling tickets...didnt adrian bishop get doorstepped for the same thing ...

as for this classic " no matter how open you think the finances are - you will find you're not being told everything - not with any business the size of the Rags."

it was a PLC business ....everything had to be avaialable ...everything ...its called fudicary duties..or prison...

is that it ...I shoot you down and you feel a little red faced..and all you can do is stick your head in the sand , put your fingers in your ears and still cling to these myopic self perpetuating urban myths.
