Demo outside OT at 5pm (in 10 minutes).
Could go a bit funny. I cant believe hes gone and done it. Everyone connected to Man U told him to fuck off and hes still gone and bought them. Why would he do that?
Strange times.

He still needs to get 75% before he can start borrowing against the club. That said he controlling interest will mean he's in the hot seat. |

I hate Man Utd but no-one deserves what Glaziers going to wind up doing, do they?
Wrexham... Hamilton.... same problem, bigger scale.

not really the same problem at all though is it? wrexham's assets (ie. the ground) are worth more than the footballing side of wrexham fc, whereas glazier has bought into the man utd brand. to make money he needs man utd to carry on as it is.

I feel sorry for the Manchester (ie local) fans who have been going to games on the back of their marvellous ticketing policy. That will now go, if not this season the next.
However this can happen to any plc floated on the stock exchange. Up until now its made them about £100 million. Its helped them be such a successful team. You reap what you sow.
Odd looking bloke, Glazer. Got a beard fashionable in the US circa 1860.

Is he going to replace all the windows at Old Trafford then?
Sorry. It couldn't happen to a nicer club, funny how they've spent years trying to make themselves the most marketable football club in the world and then Glazer comes along and they're all up in arms over it.

ManUre deserve everything they get, then some.......I was interested to hear that Glazer presented the Tampa Bay authorities with an ultimatum....build me a stadium or I move the Franchise......they built him a new stadium.
