Maureen is a real destroyer of talent isn't he? You can also add Luke Shaw to the list and Fernando Torres. He couldn't see the potential in KDB for God's sake. He is the king of anti-football.

Don't think you can blame him for Torres to be fair.
 
I agree. United are just a cash cow to the Glazers. They generate huge revenues to prop up their US business empire and service their long-term debts. They will invest the bare minimum to try and remain in the top four just like the owners do at Arsenal. They put virtually nothing back into the Manchester community. A lot of their so-called community work is just cosmetic. That's why they don't support womens football. They will carry on signing big players just to protect their worldwide brand. It's all fur coat and no knickers as they used to say. To be fair most Mancunian and Salfordian Rags know this. The only risk to City is a hostile takeover from a consortium with very deep pockets, even then they will struggle to compete with our owners.

I think they are too big to buy lock stock and barrel someone will have to stump up north of 2.5 billion quid and pay off the debts. Why do that when there are plenty of other clubs out there that can be bought for a fraction of the cost and turned into money quicker.
 
2012 should have been a lesson for the bookies

They do it as PR and marketing, not because they're resigned to it. It's easy, and if by some means it is premature, they get another marketing hit. The fact we remember them doing it in 2012 says it all.
