If football is now a business which most people assume it to do be then this whole we're man united or its man united we're talking about doesnt mean squat, the world is littered with business who were historically big and then fell by the wayside because they assumed that their name alone was enough to make things right for them.

Curtis Woodhouse, top lad, ex Sheffield United and pro boxer obviously has an insightful mind as well.
thing is, we all laugh at the glazers and united fans are super angry with them but why, what is it that they have actually done that is so bad, they have backed every manager with whatever they have asked for and yet they are still the bad guys.
Lets have it right the glazers in the grand scheme of things arent bad owners, they have backed managers to the tune of over 1 billion pounds but apparently they dont spend enough.
The owners arent bad, its just the arrogance of united fans that they believe they have a divine right to win and now the reality that they are just another team is hitting home they have to blame it on someone there has to be a boogeyman to take the blame as they cant accept the reality, liverpool fans are exactly the same, klopp has been handsomely backed but they hate the owners too because they cant accept the reality that they are just another team.
In the end they didn't. I hate the rags as much as anybody but legally they must have been in a tricky situation. The charges were dropped by the cps. Greenwood was under contract. I'm not sure they could have just sacked him. I have no doubt they would have played him again without public anger at that suggestion. He has been bum rushed out but the club still paying for a villa for him suggests it may not be the end of the story. If he does well there and when it all calms down, I wouldn't be surprised if a big public relations exercise wasn't mounted and he comes back.
Very true mate but they are instrumental in sullying our name whilst hiding in plain sight in their financial dealings. I’ve posted before, how can we have 115 charges levelled at us whilst the other 30plus clubs who have been in the Premier League in the past 13 years have the total of zero charges. It’s just not right, Chav’s, Rag’s and Dippers have all been found guilty but no investigation has been held. The biggest corruption out there stem from Gill and Parry, a proper pair of vile, greedy, dishonest bastards.

Spot on Curtis. And that is the exact reason United and the UEFA cartel clubs wanted FFP. Not to level out the playing field as those clubs club claim, but to skew it further towards their own clubs and interests. FFP is the epitome of self preservation for those clubs. If it was enforced to the letter, we'd have a closed shop with no chance of other club to progress or threaten their position.

It’s not. If they had managed and invested properly during their time they’d possibly be worth a few billion more than they are now. The increase in value is just that the football club market has performed extremely well over the years.The deal the Glazers pulled off to buy the rags has to go down as one of the greatest business deals ever made.
An incredible profit making machine with cash reserves bought for 790m and the new owners did it with the clubs money.
They have asset stripped the said business , syphoning off hundreds of millions for personal gain and they have the balls to "try and sell" the business for 5/6 billion.
They’re idiots, really.

Your average know nowt rag/dipper doesn't get the concept that their owners are business people first.
They want a profit from the business they own.
Pure, simple economics.
Just think though if they hadn't 'creamed off' the profits through paying themselves their rightful dividends :) how much they could have spent?
£80 million on Captain von de Beeky - he would of have been a £160 million pound player then.
£160 million on Antony
£160 million on Maguire
The list could go on and on - just imagine how much they could have spent if UMS had run the swamp like a charity. I think that's why they are angry because, for them nytid provide a public service by being the bestest ever and it's not fair that ickle Ciddy are spoiling their sad vacant existence.
As for the dippers, surely they are more than familiar with what FSG are doing - taking something that doesn't belong to them in the first place (according to the average victim that is) as much as toothy mctoothy has embraced the dipper shell suit the same accusation should be levelled at FSG for becoming fully immersed in that great scouse tradition of thieving.
CTID.
As you were Blu3s.
They could sack him. He could then sue for lost wages as per his contract.
United can more than afford to just pay his contract off. But they have chosen to try and get some money/value from him.
They are either waiting to see if things calm down and bring him back, or at least increase his value before a future sale.
They are simply putting business before any morals..

Fergusson spent more money than anybody else taking into account inflation. No City players in the most expensive team.
