Some people have a agenda against United, I wonder why, it was a common practice at the time, new players needed to be housed.
back then Football teams were poor, unlike now.

Quote from a utd fan.Harry Gregg was a survivor of Munich, and went on to become involved with United at various levels, keeper,coach,scout. A real United man through and through, in his blood as he says it. So, when he mentions several things in his book i believe him.
- the club withdrew taxi rights for the players, even Jackie Blanchflower who could barely walk after the crash. Some of the players got around simply due to the goodwill of the taxi drivers who offered them free rides.
- the club withdrew the rented accomodation from the players.
- very little money given to the survivors & the families of the deceased. Harry Gregg was advised to claim for compensation for missing luggage!
- Martin Edwards and his father said that Munich was nothing to do with them as it occured before they took control!
- Edwards later went against the wishes of the Munich survivors when he asked Eric Cantona to appear in the 'Munich Fundraiser' match. The survivors believe this was a gesture from Edwards to make up with Cantona and actually nothing to do with the actual event.
- The bad treatment of Jimmy Murphy, even Sir Matt didnt speak to him right up to his death.
A club rotten to the core since the late 40's,well before Muniich they were doing things the "utd way".So we can all see that the club hasnt turned evil since the Glazers came, things were wrong long before Malcolm bought Manchester United FC.
Delve a bit deeper & the skeletons in the utd closset are fuckin enormous,
