I very much doubt he is going to buy the club and then watch them waste away into nothingness along with his money. |
Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
if i had the money i would.
It would be hilarious to see Man Utd get relegated. |
Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
It happened before when noone said it would.
I'd say the chances of it happening are not impossible, especially when fergie goes. |

Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
"Nick Towle, chairman of fans' pressure group, Shareholders United, claimed he has ripped up his season ticket."
Pld, with all of one match to go. |
Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans

Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
Surely Nick Towle is a pillock.
|
Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
I assume they meant his season ticket renewal form, but who knows.

Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
I seriously don't get what all these united fans are so worried over. Do you honestly think malcolm glazer took over manchester united because he wanted control of the third best team in england so he could asset strip them? For Utd to be successful from a marketing point of view they're going to have to start winning trophies (this means the premiership or the champions league) again. The club is already run as a business for god's sake.

Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
but he'll fund the takeover by taking out loans on man utd assets and then raise ticket prices through the roof to cover the repayments...
(ha ha btw) |

Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
He's not funding the takeover by taking out loans. He's funding his business plan for the club by taking out loans. His business plan involves making money back. It's hardly like ticket prices at manchester united have never gone up before heh. To give the man his dues he's shown his ability to increase profit margins before. It's not some random incompetent git taking charge of the club who's going to go and put it on a roulette wheel in las vegas and see what happens.

Hes basically taken out a mortgage on man utd with some of his own money and his business plan. Alot of people are skeptical that his business plan is so enlightened that he'll be able to see something that other multimillion pound clubs can't. He has to make enough money to pay off the loan, still invest in the club and make a profit for himself. The whole fans 'omgshocked' thing is funny though, they'll pay to see man utd regardless of the ticket price like the lemmings they are. But like the ad says, your club may be at risk if you cannot keep up with repayments. |
Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
I'll get my financial advice from someone other than the Independent Manchester United Supporter's Association. I severely doubt a single one of them has any clue of what his business plan involves beyond SELL MANCHESTER UNITED I KELL YOOOOU! Personally I'm not all that skeptical that a highly successful business man will be able to make a greater profit with the club. Sure they were already overtaken by real madrid this year in overall marketing. I'm not sure what you mean by my club, I'm not a united fan (unless it's just the line from the ad you mentioned!)

Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
He's an American businessman and therefore he obviously intends to ride around Manchester on his horse eating babies, raping the womenfolk, plundering churches, and terrifying chickens.

Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
Why do Man Utd fans never get to watch MOTD?
Because they are travelling back to London on the train. |
Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
How about we all stop being a bunch of melodramatic faggots and see what happens?

i'd love to see manu go bankrupt tbh.
just to see fergie cry. |
Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
I think it's strange to see people (particularly those who support the lower premiership teams) laughing at this. If Man Utd pull out of the collective TV-rights dealings, do you really think Arsenal and Chelsea (and Newcastle/Liverpool/Everton maybe) won't do likewise? Leaving those lower clubs with absolutely no bargaining power?

Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
the point is (as far as i understand it) how are man u going to win trophies when they cant buy any players due to the fact that they technically have 200mil worth of debt?

Chelsea on the other hand will no doubt go out and buy a proper goalscorer (~30 million) a new left back and a midfielder or 2 (+40 million if they want Gerrard). They'll probably keep most of their squad players too with Smertin, Parker, Huth and Forsell being possible exceptions off the top of my head. |

I personally think Promotion -> mid table is a bigger improvement than Manchester United -> Chelsea. |
Re: [football] laughing at man utd fans
Hes up to 74.81%. At 75% , he can take the club private. And his plans apparently leverage the club with a total debt of £265 Million. Now considering that Leeds went into receivership at £90M, Id say its "Game Over" for Man U fans, and they can consider the club in a new era of total uncertainty.
