I think the funniest thing about yesterday was Ben Mee falling over and still beating their giant centre half to a header. He's going to get massacred. I'll give it a few weeks before he's moved permanently. The only downside to their start is they've got Liverpool next to give them a free easy win

The protesting is hilarious, it's just entitled glory hunting pricks acting out,
they don't even know what they want,
what do they think will change if the glazers didn't own the club? The thing with United is, they're too big to sell even if the Glazers wanted to (which they don't and no amount of protesting will change that as they sit back and watch from florid as they buy the club shop before protesting).

It would take many billions to buy the club and several billion more to improve the infrastructure. if they're to get an owner that doesn't take money out of the club or leverage debt against them they're going to need a sheikh Mansour, there's not many of them around and if one was interested in buying in to football, why would they buy United for billions when they could buy a number of other clubs across this country and Europe for a fraction of the price and get similar returns. Anybody interested in United will be people with the same idea as the glazers, use the size and popularity of the club to pay for itself and use it as a cash cow.
 
Ferguson, that is the No1 issue for me, same happened with Busby, they did not learn from their own history.

Once he retired , he should have kept away from the place for evermore, but no, he stinks the place out.
I agree, but I’m not sure the Busby scenario was remotely as crippling or as prolonged. Yes, he hung around for a couple of years and prevented McGuinness and O’Farrell being completely their own men, but by the time Docherty was in place three years after Busby’s departure, his influence had been constrained.

Ferguson has been gone approaching ten years now and is a far bigger (and more malign) presence than Busby was in 1972.

The fact that the Glazers are unable to identify how much a hinderance Ferguson now is, or worse, that they feel unable to tackle it, is further proof of their gross incompetence.
 
Would love to know the thoughts of Mr. Summerbee, he predicted this many seasons ago and was mocked by the other pundits. He kept his dignity.

Watching Chuckle 1 last night, spouting off as how the Glazers 'HAD' to sell (sure he used 'now is the time'), the arrogance to think they should be successful forever. Perhaps he should concentrate on the club he is a director of, along with the other pillocks of '92

What an arrogant prick
 
Think it’s safe to say sancho seems to have been a flop and if he carries on surely he doesn’t get selected for the England squad!

He looks a shadow of his dortmund self where he was so electric! Feel sorry for the lad
Never feel sorry for a rag.

Jaded was happy enough to take the rags' "30 pieces of silver", so let him rot at the swamp.
 
If we know on Bluemoon know the fans are looking to get the game called off, the Premier League must. Even in their air conditioned luxury offices.
They need to be telling united to take steps to ensure it doesn't happen or its a points deduction.
What is the point of banning fans who run on the pitch, at full time, to celebrate if you ignore 200 doing before the game who have declared their intention to cause trouble.
 
I'm not overawed with the chumps league. I'd like to win it, but I'm not arsed... that is until this season.
Please, please, please City, win it this year. If utd are fighting at the bottom of the league, and, dare I say, even getting relegated, it would put the juiciest cherry on top of the most delicious cake I could ever imagine.
 
They need to be careful what they wish for. If the Glazers did decide to sell up to, say, Knighton, he could just turn round and say 'well I'm not taking money out off the club, I'm gonna get the club out of debt, unfortunately that means not buying players'
Oops.
I can't see someone putting in £4 or 5 billion of their own money.
It could well turn out that they get lumbered with more debt than they have now because the price to buy United will be many fold this time round than that which the Glazers paid for them.
 
Yep, the mentality is to spend what it takes to deliver a pot, any pot.

Mind, I'm hoping they can turn their season around for the next game. Just the one game, and then they can revert to the level to which they have plummeted.
A draw will do fine.
