They've spun the Ronaldo story to perfection again, as they do with all negative press over there

PR department putting in the overtime, albeit not particularly difficult work to get the thick red muppets back on side as any mention of a sale gets them firmly back on side

Like taking candy from a set of fuckwits. Their " fans" have to be the most gullible fuckers ever.

Buying an established brand for obscene money in a competitive league when you are no longer top dog makes zero financial sense.. look at what our owners paid 14 years ago and what Newcastles owners paid last year. The richest people in the world don’t buy established brands for billions when they can pump half the money into another team and create their own brand… why would they?

Chill… people.. more chance someone big comes in for West Ham and buys the London Stadium and starts afresh with the London pull at the fraction of the cost.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Haha.
The scum and dippers bail out cos they cant compete with us.
Fucking Love it

The driscoll brothers with bocey at the bar comes to mind, i wanna buy everyone in the pub a drink here's a pound and i want change. Surely someone can sort that vid and change the voices ;)

Who is paying the £6/7 billion required to buy them? There's not much growth left for them hundreds of millions if not another billion is needed to stop old Trafford and carrington from falling down in a strong breeze, complete overhaul of the people in charge is needed nd you've still got the lingering ghost of Fergie running the show that the fans wouldn't allow any new owner to send packing even if they wanted to.

Then on the pitch they're constantly spending more than anybody else already and are miles behind. There's no valid reason for anybody to buy them, I'm sceptical the glazers want to sell and even if they did sell there's nothing to suggest they'd improve, they could potentially get even worse. Fuck 'em.

Hell Leeds are a better buy than the rags and dippers..

 

[Whether or not]

The news that the rags and the scousers are both for sale demonstrates beyond any doubt that the long term vision of the respective American owners was always the super league, which would have been a monstrosity. The fact they are now bailing out means hopefully it is over for ever as an idea.
In terms of who buys either of them, it is an interesting proposition, as they are both hugely overpriced, with stadiums needing massive development, average or ageing squads, etc. The better long term investments are much cheaper clubs with huge room for improvement and growth, like we were, like Newcastle and arguably Leeds or Everton. I just hope that they both get bought by the very worst type of dodgy owners and we can happily watch the angst of the deluded and entitled glory hunters as they become ever more irrelevant.
