There is too much snobbery from the MUFC media trying to whip up a storm about an American buying English footballs "franchise" team.
As a PLC they are accountable to all of their shareholders. Under private ownership they have more freedom to compete with the upper echelon- the Chelseas, Arsenals & Villas of this world

What gets me is all these fans saying they are going to boycott the club. I mean for a start all that that will mean is a load of plastic fans will be rubbing their hands together thinking they have finnally got a chance to go to a game. And anyway how stupid is it. I mean if I went away and cried everytime Mike McGinnity made a decision at City that annoyed me then someone would give me a dummy. But at the end of the day I still support them because they are my team and the club and its history is bigger than one individual. I suppose its different for these whinging ManUre fans though. I mean its not like the majority of them actually come from Manchester.

I have heard of a plan to walk out at half time by the Man Utd fans at next weeks cup final in protest. If they can afford to waste money like that then they deserve all they get. Looks like it will be a fun few years for the self proclaimed "biggest club in the world" Watch all the plastics defect to Chelsea or Arsenal in this time  |

I actually think Utd have one more Premiership title left in them under Alex Ferguson but in the long term they could start to drift away now that Glazer has took over.
As for the walkout in Cardiff well Man Utd ruining the beauty and the magic of the FA Cup is nothing new. Anyone remember how they did in the competition in 2000?

Sorry about the double post but found this post on the BBC Forum and couldn't stop laughing.
"I've been a Manchester United fan all my life, and I am devastated by this. How can the club sell us out like this. I've bought three replica shirts a year every year, and even went to a game a few years back, although it took me a long time to find the ground. And with City possibly in Europe and Liverpool in the Champions League final, this is terrible.
Jon, Milton Keynes"

Subject: A Letter from Malcolm Glazer
Dear Soccerball fans,
As you all know, I've been looking to buy the United's of Manchester for a little while now. I've also heard that some of you may not be too happy about me using, sorry, buying the club in order to reach new heights and also, that I may not be a fan. Well fear not, as I'm writing this personal letter to let you know that I'm a genuine fan of you blue devils.
I began rooting for the United's back in 1992 when our little Malcolm JR was practising those Soccer home runs out in the yard. I loved the way you turned defence into offence, and the way that Bobby Shearer used to top half it into the goal bag. Oh man, that play was hot. My son tells me that you even out-zoned your City rivals Southampton in the 4th quarter of the FA
World series. As for your current team, that Rude guy is awesome!!!! I see a profitable future at the United, with the young talent of Cristiano Rooney (man, that guy can dance!) and Peter Shilton giving us hope in defeating the evil Russian tyranny which assaults the freedom of our beloved Soccer. With
the marketing potential of those Neville brothers and that Pearce dude leading the team, we can all look to achieving our beliefs of a better future. Especially when I add Alexei Lalas and Cobi Jones to the starting 15.
Now to you, the fans. I've been to see the United's play once before, and the respect you pay your team in silently admiring the play out on the pitch was overwhelming. Because of this, I've just purchased a new £45 million mansion in the Manchester to be close to you guys. And more good news is I'm planning to add an extra 10,000 seats through corporate boxes so more
genuine blue devils can experience the play. What's with the prawn sandwiches I had to eat when I was there? Well, rest assured, it'll be super size Shrimp subs when I take charge.
I can't wait to come over to the Manchester isles, as I love the country, especially the beaches and the hot chicks. I hope you can all see my vision of this future, with new shirt sponsors (Dunkin Donuts) and new team name (The Manchester Gloom) I'm sure things are looking bright. Further good news for you guys is that I've just agreed a partnership deal with McDonalds, who will help in promoting the Manchester brand. This will involve re-naming the stadium to 'McTrafford' as well as an exciting launch of Manchester Gloom plastic fan toys in every happy meal. Cristiano Rooney will be the face of this campaign and during this, he will be marketed globally as Roonald McDonald. TOUCHDOWN! Take care dudes.
Malcolm.
XOXOXOXOX

Excellent ;D ;D It does remind me of the time Nigel Benn fought Chris Eubank at Man Utds ground and Don King called it "Trafford Park Stadium" ;D In addition to the above fight at football there have been other classics McGuigan v Pedroza at Loftus Road Bruno v Bugner at White Hart Lane and my personal fave Bowyer v Dyer at St James Park (3-0 to the Villa  ) Love to hear though what all the plastics think about this move by the saviour of British soccerball Malcolm Glazer  |

Love to hear though what all the plastics think about this move by the saviour of British soccerball Malcolm Glazer I bet they are all secretly well happy as it will mean they have a chance of finnally getting into a game. I'm deffinatly looking forward to my visit to Old Trafford to watch Coventry play within the next few years. Thats unless we pass them on the way up. |

The end of United seems a bit like the final days of Thatcher. You can't quite believe it but with every news report your smile gets just that little wider.
Even looks like their best striker is about to quit as well. ;D ;D ;D
