Surely not. United have only ever been run the "right way" . More Anit united propaganda now the GPC is gone. its disgusting making shite up like this.
I hope he didn`t put is own money into his misguided venture as the rages have only ever spent what they have earned ever ever ever ever and that is the truth gov, honest.
James W. Gibson wasn't their first sugar daddy to save them from bankruptcy with money they didn't earn either. That was John Henry Davies who built Old Trafford and gifted it to the rags. Gibson pestered the government after WW2 and got grants out of the public purse to remove the debris from the swamp and rebuild it. Then of course they got more funding from the public purse to build a state of the art cantilever stand (now the GPC stand) to tart the place up for the 1966 World Cup.
Money they've earned my arse.
All facts that the hypocritical "City ruining football/we've always spent within our means" brigade could never dispute in a million years.
But let's not forget that in addition to Davies, Gibson, and the British government, they should also be forever thankful to a certain Manchester City Football Club for bailing them out of the shit on several occasions, particularly when we rode to their rescue in helping see off Manchester Central FC. If we hadn't got involved then there's a real possibility that they would have gone out of business.
"MUFC forever in our debt" has a nice ring to it.
