Against a man who changed his nationality for tax reasons, divorced his wife of many years to marry a woman half his age and promoted his sons to positions of power on the back of being, er, his sons. Unprincipled pair, on the whole.

Was it you who wrote into Radio 5 mentioning the TV deal theory? It just got broadcast.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Nope wasn't me.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Nah. You were correct the first time.

But on a lighter note

FA charge Ferguson

SIR Alex Ferguson has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association.

The governing body claim the Manchester United manager is in breach of FA rule E3 and he has until May 26 to respond.

The charge relates to Ferguson's comments following the match against Newcastle on April 24.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Because your dns is trying to tell you something.

i.e... this... is... good... news... :LOL:

whatever happened to www.ihatemanunited.com?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Maybe some rich american bought it and sold the server! :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

No, this is not good news and lets hope this doesn't have a knock on effect on other clubs hey ;)

and for your information I am a football fan at heart and would be looking at www.shareholdersarsenal.org or www.shareholdersnewcastle.org to try and stop genuine fans being ripped off. Look through my posts and see where I've slagged other clubs off (apart from the Gooners which is light hearted leg pulling). This is a time when all football fans should be trying to stop businessmen, who have absolutely no interest in the club, players or fans, lining their own pockets, seeing the £ÃÆ ’‚£Ãà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ãƒââ‚ ¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ãƒâ€š £ signs and thinking a football club is just about profit.

If he gets control then I shall definately not go to another match at Old Trafford or buy any merchandise, I'll still support my club but with as little cost as possible.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Bleh... if you lot don't want him, send him to forest. he's rich.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

No, Abramovich or Bill Gates is rich, Glazer is funding most of his purchase with borrowed money.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Better than Doughty though, all he seems to do is asset-strip anything decent we have and replace it with cutprice crap.

And in any case, Glazer's still a billionaire.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

He's rich by lower division standards, but that's not exactly hard. He's good at playing the money markets, where the money is mostly vapour and promises. Not in the Abramovich or Gates class at all.

Still, he's probably better than Irving Scholar, eh? [waits for tirade]

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Here comes the tirade... except most of it will get censored :LOL:
Irving Scholar is a synonym for the following:

• ****
  
  ****
  
  ****
  
  *sheepshagger
  
  *money grabber
  
  *club destroyer
  
  *asset stripper
  
  *corrupt
  
  *idiot
  
  *plonker
  
  *****
  
  *****
  
  ******
  
  *****face
  
  *ugly****er

(allegedly)
I will never forgive that guy.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Interesting but not ideal

"Ferguson will be offered a long-term contract as part of a five-year plan," Harris told BBC Radio Five Live.

"In that plan, he will be given £100m for new players."

This is the not ideal bit...................

"He needs 75% of the club's shares in order for him to use the assets of Manchester United to underpin his debt. The debt is his at the moment but once he has 75%, the debt is the club's.

"I have spoken to the bankers who represent Glazer and they say will get to 75% on Friday. He is pretty much home and dry."
