Thought this was a parody but it's actually genuine isn't it?

It is mate, he'll be on the pitch at half time kicking a ball about at their next home game :)

Michael Knighton confirms 'hostile takeover' bid against Glazer ownership

Michael Knighton declared his intent for a hostile takeover to buy the Glazers out of their ownership of Manchester United.

“Declared his intent to hold talks with investors”

Translate that into normal language

He has made his mind up to ask somebody else if they will spend their money on this. Not had talks. Not an organised group

Utterly meaningless. That Howson bloke could say this being completely truthful.

So could I. In fact I’ll do it now

Ahem

I’ve decided I’m going to ask my best mate if he can lend me the money to buy City off the Sheik when I see him next

Knighton is just the man for the job....

".....in September 2000 Knighton himself was disqualified from being a company director for five-and-a-half years following an investigation into his own business affairs. The disqualification related to Knighton’s running of a private school that he owned via the same holding company, Knighton Holdings, through which he also owned Carlisle United. In 2002, he sold Carlisle United to Irish businessman John Courtenay.

In 1996 he found himself publicly mocked after claiming that he and his wife, Rosemary, had seen a UFO. The local newspaper, the Evening News and Star, broke the story with the headline:

“Knighton: Aliens Spoke To Me”.​

As they set off from their Yorkshire home one afternoon in 1976, he and his wife had watched an apparently alien craft perform a range of “impossible” aero-gymnastics. As the glowing UFO disappeared, he believed he had received a telepathic message urging him: “Don’t be afraid, Michael.”

I hope Newcastle get a few more decent signings and build on their opening day victory.

It'd be funny if they could do well this season finish higher than man unitred.

The fact the rags support think Michael Knighton being involved in the club in anyway is positive it’s absolutely hilarious. He’s no saviour. Just look up his reign at Carlisle United, bloke tried to build a butterfly farm next to the ground, move them to the Scottish league, built a stand which isn’t in line with the pitch and supposedly spotted a UFO above the ground. Theatre of base comedy.

Forgot to mention that Knighton also sacked the manager who got Carlisle promoted and appointed himself

Frying pan to the fire.

So are they still shit today or what? When will they return to their rightful place? Should we all get worried now? Lots of questions but no answers. I can’t sleep for the worrying and stress -:)

Article after article about their perceived demise. Very simple really, owners have spent huge amounts of money on shit. Shit board and shit players. The media’s approach to their cash cow is relentless and has negatively impacted the club.

So sad…fuck the rag dirty cunts. Into obscurity you go with a nick nat paddy wack give fergie a bone, why don’t United fuck off erm… back to 6th? That’s about the right position.

Keep blowing smoke up their arse to make money.
