They are more fucked than the rabbit in Fatal Attraction

He’ll turn up singing this..

The forest fan is a right crank saying the glazers have played them.
The first thing I heard and read were the glazers were looking for investors and not a full sale.
Then along comes sky and all the rag media spouting utd for sale
If anyone has taken the fans for a ride it's the media

About the third time he has pulled out

He sounds more like a Catholic than a Muslim!

Would be hilarious if the Qataris now go for Everton!

Sadly they were sold to some Americans last month.

Everton acquired by U.S. private equity firm 777 Partners

Everton have been sold to 777 Partners, the struggling Premier League club said on Friday, with the U.S. private equity firm taking over from Farhad Moshiri in a deal reports said was worth more than 550 million pounds ($685 million).

Woulda been nice though.

Maybe West Ham are looking for new owners?

It gets better.

 

[Brooklands Blue]

Awww you won’t get much sympathy here ..

A more deserving set you’ll be hard pushed to find, long live the Glazers

I do hope that uncle Malcolm is resting on a bed of feathers up in heaven!!

Old Trafford is falling down …

I was there with RL tickets from HforH today, by heck it’s a 60’s stadium with some metalwork. And the seats .. jeez, I’m glad the guy in front of me spent the entire game leaning forward, else my knees would be grinding his kidneys.

They had some 70’s disco lights undeneath the band (reverend and the makers) playing above the players tunnel… it was comical.
They did have a tiny screen in the corner above that as well, is that just temporary for the rugby?

Overall… it’s ultra dated

Spurs would be the most logical choice now for the Qataris, unless they want to build Leeds back up.

This is a pretty significant moment for our club in my view. It likely means they will continue to be mediocre for some time to come. It means over time I suspect some kids in Manchester will end up being City fans when their dads might have been United fans. The amount of fans they have outside England will probably shrink as their older fans die off. Huge opportunity for this club
