It would be a pity if Wellbeck doesn't play. Has he ever scored a hattrick?

Scored his first ever hat trick for Arse against Galatasaray.

And if he plays Saturday,I'll be havin a cheeky £10 on him to score 3 or more.

Already have him in a treble with Costa and Kun for first/anytime, might join you on that one.

Whilst they "rob Peter to pay Paul" with the problems they have in their American businesses I cannot see them selling out for a very long time.
Long may it continue.

Not only that, it would probably cost something in the region of 1.5 to 2 billion to prise the club away from the Glazers. As much of a cash cow as United is I don't think there would be too many people willing to fork out that amount of money. It's also worth noting that any prospective buyer would also have to take on the £360 million or so of debt as well.

Personally, while I believe the Glazers will sell up eventually I don't think that it will happen in the immediate future unless an offer comes in that is too good to turn down.

Also, a new buyer doesn't necessarily mean that all their problems will go away - they could even end up with worse owners than the Glazers. After all, the Glazers owe United fans nothing after years of abuse and probably won't be arsed who they sell to as long as they get their cash. Of course, the most hilarious scenario is if someone comes in and purchases United in the same way the Glazers did, and loading a mountain of new debt onto the club in the process meaning they have to go through the rigmarole of the last 10 years all over again!

They wouldnt take on the debt "as well", it would be factored into the price, as would any other liability that a new owner takes on.

Clearly the Glazers are only in it for the money. In order to get a return on their investment they have to sell or start taking dividends out of the club. I would quite like to see the reaction if they started paying themselves a dividend.

There must be a dwindling number of cash investors who could pay £1-2b without needing a return on their investment. The likelihood is that there will always be some financing costs that will have first call on their cashflow.

You are right of course but that's pretty much what I was trying to say anyway - any buyer would have to take the debt into account. I just can't see anyone coming forward and meeting the rumoured asking price, although there is the worry that if the club went the same way as Liverpool under Hicks and Gillett then some fucker would get their hands on it at a knockdown sum.
 
Even with the rats being the walking wounded I can still see wenger parting his cheeks for the shite.

25/1 with PP

Is that first or anytime?

Can only get anytime at just over 4/1 for the treble
