Lurking rags - look in here :-)

Having fun reading the posts on here? Good for you.

Don't read too much into the negativity being shown - many Blues are still confident we will go on to clinch the title. And many Blues will still be supporting their team next season come what may.

One things for sure, whichever one of wins the other teams fans will be pissed off. The difference is if it's us that loses we will all be there next season, behind the team and supporting them as we have done for many years through thick and thin. Will united be able to say the same?

If united end up trophyless it will have a massive impact on the club as the fickle fan deserts the team they 'support' from hundreds or thousands of miles away. For a club that needs to win and relies on income from merchandising and corporate clients just to balance the books, not maintaining winning ways is unthinkable.

Mufc need prize money and the revenue from people who like to be seen as part of a winning team. Lose than winning part and these cash cows will desert you faster than an Italian captain on a sinking ship. Your history will mean nothing to them - bringing corporate clients to see a club that used to win things will not work. Walking around the streets of Asia in a PL runners up shirt won't be so cool - wearing a City shirt will though.

There's no way that united will go bump - there'll always be someone who'd buy them and keep them afloat. But they won't be able to do a City or Chelsea and just pump money in - not if they want to play in Europe anyway.

What a shame the Glazers wouldn't sell a few years ago - all that money that could have been spent on players is still being creamed off to pay interest and line their pockets. Just think if one of your chums from Quatar could have done a Sheik Mansour and piled cash into the club like there was no tomorrow.

There's a chance that united could win the Europa League, but as your fans kept telling us when we were in it, it's a shit competition and not worth winning. It doesn't bring in anywhere near as much cash as the CL does and will your corporate clients be happy bringing their clients to 'Old Trafford - home of the Europa champions' - especially when the new PL champs are a ten minute chauffeur drive away.

So City want to win the PL - united have to.

Who's the pressure on?

Spoken like a true and long standing(suffering) Blue.

Agree completely,think our owners were looking at next season to win the Premier League this year WILL be a bonus.

Finally some quality post, well done blue. It was just the typical Everton away match for us, they had tons of those Matches this season. U*ited is playing shite foodball since 2009 nd what has Baconface done? He buyed them the wonderful De Gea.

I pretty sure, Fergie is getting senile nd U*ited future is too play behind City.

City vs Fulham 3-1
Chelsea vs U*ited 1-0

Bit scouse sounding that is.

Great post, I often dont visit this site after a defeat because of the negativity.We are challenging for the title and not doing too bad. And we suffer enough at the hands of the 'free' press with their own agendas without fair weather blues slating our own performances. In my opinion ,of course.

 

[laserblue]

spot on dave. financially the rags are at the last chance saloon. it's going to be shit or bust every season from now on for them. it'll be good watching them squirm while we're picking up trophies.

Bit scouse sounding that is.

Why's that? I'm not being bitter or slagging united - cub or fans- off. I'm just saying that uniteds empire is based on a history of success and the money it rakes in. Their lengthy period of success has won them a lot of fans around the world.

If that success stops or is reduced to a Europa Cup, the people who like to be attatched to successful things will desert them. The businessmen who take clients to games, have their company names in the matchday magazine or adverts around the ground will not be interested in going to the second best team in the countrys ground for too many seasons. They are not real fans as we are, or a lot of united supporters are, they are using a club to impress their clients. They don't give a toss if it's united, City or Liverpool - as long as they are impressing the people that make them money.

The fans from far afield who support united do so because they are successful, not because they are their local team or because thier Dad took them to their first ever game at O.T. They will jump off the bandwagon as quickly as they jumped on it. We have proved beyond any reasonable doubt that we won't desert the club in the bad times, and I'm sure that there will still be plenty of united fans knocking about if they don't maintain the form that has seen them dominate domestic football for so long. But will they keep the foreign fans and the corporate ones - or enough to generate the tens or hundreds of millions that they put into the club at the moment?

We are doing what we're doing with just an FA Cup to our name so far. There are huge loses being posted but the club itself has no debt. If the owner walks away (not that he will - see the Martin Samuels thread) there is a club that owes nobody a penny for the taking. Not many other clubs around that can say that is there? When Citys plans fall into place we will have an advantage of having done it with a hardcore fanbase that the club can pretty much rely on as a minimum base line to work from. Any fans we pick up along the way will help the cause but we'll be starting at the bottom and working up, united are at the top and can, at best, stay level. Lose their winnig ways and that supporter base will only go one way.

Not a bitter 'scouse' rant just putting my thoughts across about the difference that success or failure means to us and our biggest rivals.

It is basically now a 15 game season between us and rags for the title, with City having the better fixtures.

I know who I back to win it from here and it isn't the quiet nieghbours
