Nobody is getting hysterical. It's a possibility, nothing more. If you don't think it is, your the deluded one.
Now don't get me wrong, I would love nothing more than the current situation at OT to stay as it is, minus Fergie. But there's always a chance that won't happen.
One thing is for sure. Fergie will eventually retire, even though he has recentally stated he is staying put. I have no problem with that, as the next manager will have the weight of the world on his shoulders, and that includes the Special One.
However, the thought of the Glazers selling United to a Billionaire, and there are plenty out of them about interested in United, fills me with unease.
As it stands, even with Fergie, we have the resources to eventually overtake United. That only leaves Chelsea(ageing team) and Arsenal.(unpredictable and with no money) However, United with a billionaire owner, willing to spend like ours, is a different beast all together.
so u dont want any competition what so ever

I think you'e wrong to suggest there are billionaires queueing up to buy the rags. If that were the case don't you think the Glazers would have sold to teh highest bidder, removed the debt burder hanging over them and run for the hills with a billion quid in their back pockets.
What I do think is clear is that Fergie is prostituting himself over in Qatar to try and get them interested (promoting their WC bid FFS what does he know about Qatar!) as he knows it is only a matter of time now (without major investment) before we take them on and start beating them and despite his public protestations to the contrary about the 'Un*ted way' they would grab middle Eastern cash at the drop of a hat. I don't underestimate how far that tw*t would go to keep the rags at the top after all he has devoted 24 years of his life to that evil empire.
That said, it would be a blow to my hopes of Un*ted slipping to oblivion but we would still have the best and richest owners in the world so nothing will stop us from challenging.
