I was going to say this. I have no love for United, disgusting club if you ask me, but there is no moral high ground in the world of business - and football clubs are businesses. Show me a billionaire and I'll show you a clinical opportunist without morals (at least when it comes to making money).Gar said:I'm sure every penny in Sheik's bank account is squeeky clean. In fact, every owner of every big club in Europe is an honest bloke who hasn't made any money unethically. Seriously, your team is an a path of massive ascention and you're favorites to win the F.A Cup today. How do you have time for this?

The Sheikh is rich because he sells oil, and makes large investments in other companies. Louis Edwards was rich because he sold poisonous meat to schoolchildren. There's a bit of a difference

I don't get offended about anything to do with football, I just think there's more important things to think about right now other than how United got their money. Like I said last week though when at one point on page one of General Football there were 12 threads about United, the obsession is very much from us to them rather than them to us, as has been suggested recently.Damocles said:Pigeonho said:Even the night before the biggest game of our modern history, a thread appears about our neighbours over the way.

There are plenty of threads on the FA Cup game in the City forum. Why do you get so offended that fans care about their rivals?
