United thread 2020/21

I broadly agree with you. But what I suspect is that things have now reached a tipping point with the Glazers that makes it increasingly difficult for them to meet their debt payments.
They have just won the Super Bowl with Tampa Bay but, like all NFL clubs, they are taking a huge hit from Covid.
They are sitting on a large number of virtually worthless retail sites which they bought with borrowing and the debt at United is at least £700m, excluding long-term payments on transfers and any infrastructure spend.
I also heard from someone well placed to know that the Glazers were touting United around for investors before last Christmas and there are still persistent rumours about Saudi or Chinese investors. Now they have lost the chance of a bale-out from the Super League. They have got nowhere to go.

Haha I love your insight.
I think we’re cut from the same cloth and bet we’d get in like a house on fire if ever we met in a boozer.
 
Oh for the Glazers to have to sell then the auditors and due diligence checks could reveal a whole bag of worms, be a pisser if HMRC issued them with winding up orders. Be a good ballot to speculate the next variant of their name, having missed out on FC United of Manchester, and Salford City when they get liquidated and we then get years of Sky and BBC bangin on about Pheonixs and Flames
They'll be deemed as 'too big to fail' and end up with a Government bail out which will technically mean that they are 'State owned'; partially at least.

Won't that be embarrassing for them...

SCUM!!!
 
Just listening to that thick Goldbridge kunt (for amusement purposes only, of course!), talking about last night's match and Roy Keane's views. He doesn't agree with Roy, but doesn't want to fall out with him because everyone's views are infallible!!

It wouldn't be funny, but he's such a pompous little prick!
 
I even noticed the ref was having none of his screams last night either. Hopefully it is a trend that continues. It's embarrassing that a professional footballer has to scream his way round the pitch like that.
Had the game on without crowd noise and the yelping was laughable.
Nobody seems to have bothered mentioning Rashford’s blatant and shameless dive near the end. Tyler could only bring himself to say he “tried to make the most of a coming together” the sycophantic old lizard
 
The screaming from that rat is embarrassing. I really hope his behaviour has resonated throughout the fan bases across the country and as a result he’ll get abuse in spades next season. Once the rag ref had spoken to him last night he was anonymous thereafter. I don’t think he’s got the temperament to handle having a crowd on his back.
 
Floated on the stockmarket becoming a plc just as sky came along giving them a massive advantage over everyone else
When did they first get floated?

I keep hearing it was when the Glazers took over but I am sure it was before that.
