Why is it that every time we have some stray plastic rag on here with fcuk all in their kit-bag, we get zillions of posters imitating mackerel throwing themselves on the feathers?
 
I didn't use it as an offensive term. Its like calling our owners Americans.
No, that would be like calling your owners 'whites' or 'Caucasians' or better yet "Jews"

They are Emirati's. They are from the United Arab Emirates.

Read a book for fucks sake you toss pot. And explain to me how you thought there was dissatisfaction in the UAE or a failed Arab Spring.
 
Mufc 1988, if as you say, you study the financial side of things, think about this.
I'm not denying that manyoo is a large, global player in the market. That can be a detriment as much as it can be an advantage. Things happen quickly and decisively when there is a lot of money at stake. When the glazers started buying up shares, they hit a certain percentage, meaning that they had to launch an official takeover. There is a tipping point in matters like this, whether buying or selling.
If your club continue with the mediocrity currently being displayed, they're appeal as an investment becomes less and less attractive. Combine this with throwing good money after bad pushes you closer to the downward tipping point.
Look how quickly the chain of events occurred with the recent credit crunch. One major outfit in America got cold feet and decided to call on its debts and the knock on effects were catastrophic. Once a few significant investors in your club decide that they'd rather put their money elsewhere, the whole pack of cards will fall.
That's how perilous your situation is.
If you don't appoint the right man next, I believe you'll reach your tipping point.
 
Hopefully LVG stays on till the end of the season and United don't get top four again. Maybe then the rags will realize that Manchester is and will always be BLUE.
 
The press conference given by LVG was counter-productive.
The media narrative will be about how LVG is under pressure and has started to 'crack'.
Either this is a genius way to create siege mentality or this is a serious lack of judgement by the Utd management.
Results over the next few weeks will determine that.

A major issue for me was his "discussions" with SAF and the rest of the management.
What was discussed?
Why mention this if you are not going to disclose what was said.
Endless speculation will continue.

I'm surprised that such an experienced manager doesn't realize that you need the media on your side.
 
Reading your posts, I don't think you have "got it" at all, in fact you are a long way off getting it, but hey ho.

ADUG are interested in dealing for Abu Dhabi through Manchester City (well CFG), so they're doing it at government level. You say City's ownership risk is "high", and this shows just how out of touch with what CFG, ADUG, and City are actually doing, the "high risk" was 2008-2010/11, when we had to throw stupid money at it, getting mercenaries to come and join in. Since then we have consolidated into a well run financial organisation, despite UEFA, and your former sidekick Gill in particular, trying to stop us, but failing miserably.

United fans can carry on burying their heads in the sand as long as they want as fas as I'm concerned, the football business has moved on from when you dominated the transfer markets, it now requires long term planning. What is going on at City isn't high risk, its isn't just about football any more, or even entertainment, and its not complete, not even nearly. Their aim is to dominate football (not something I particularly aspire to, as when you did it, football seemed f**ked to me, similar to when liverpool did it, I prefer good competition personally), but they are just as interested in dominating global finances and business, and they are using CFG, and City, as a vehicle to achieve that goal.

ADUG work at government level, whilst all other football clubs are working at football level, one day that difference will dawn on you, and the media that feeds you.
 
If you have really been following City's rise and HRH Sheikh Mansour since the takeover, you will be aware of the fact that he made approximately £2 billion ($3 billion) by buying Barclays Bank shares at the height of the recession and selling them a few years later.

Ànd it should be added Vienna, that barclays approached HRH (not the other way round) so they didn't have to go cap in hand to the government.
