Should be one where you can applaud him round the block and offer to buy him a drink.

The guy's a total legend.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

It just seems a bit strange that Glazer is allowed to put the club into debt to the tune of £540 million which is the figure that has been reported.
That is quite some figure to claw back over the next however long.

I am not at all up with the rules of this sort of trading, but it does seem very unethical.

As for Glazers son's saying they are avid Man Utd fan's is a ******* joke.

People are reporting that Glazer is a shrewd businessman. I just hope he know's what he is doing and it is successful, because if it fails, Man Utd could be written off as a bad debt.

Still, I don't suppose Nottingham Forest or Cambridge United have to worry about him.

Actually, football clubs in this country are in a sorry state and it all started with Murdoch imo.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

not a good weekend for me sports wise.. first Glazer buys United then Palace get relegated..

The thing Glazer doesn't understand is that we now have to qualify for the Champions leage and if we loose that game we lose about 20 million and the way we finished the year we might not get third next year either.. the team is in decline and the profits we had in the past might not be as big can't see us winning the league for a few years and are still along way off repeating Euro success so if he's gonna make any money back he will have to do that via ticket prices.. even if fans say they won't go there is a queue a mile long to get in on match days and other people will take their tickets.. in today's transfer market this 100m he is offering each year for transfers isn'tmuch either and will push us further into debt.. how can he offer that when he has already put us into debt over the summer.. and why do this just before the cup final when we want to concentrate on that.. a proper fan would have waited until that was out of the way..

still blame Edwards for putting us on the stock market in the first place.. he tried to sell the club 3 times and now he's finally done it..

As for Palace we threw it away.. drawing with Norwich and Southhampton and loosing to Blackburn in the run in wasn't good enough and then drawing with Charlton was poor as well.. we played the worst football of all the teams that went down

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I wouldn't say that Palace played the worst of the football - they finished 18th (so, by definition, were the best of the 3 relegated teams), and got a draw yesterday thanks to a late equaliser from Charlton.

Couple that with a 6-0 hammering for Norwich, and I think you're being a bit harsh on Palace.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

The demise of Man Utd ?

I hope not !!!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I hope so! ;) every team has it's time and then falls away for a while.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

if you watch the style of football the other three teams play they are far better than palace.. stil abit more luck and we could have stayed up.. i still don't know if the ball went over the line when we lost to Bolton at home and we put the ball over the bar when Arsenal came here from 2 yards out

The usual banter has begun ahead of Saturday :rolleyes:

Makes you wanna throw up don't it.....

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Interesting story about the John Obi Mikel transfer...

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

first he says he was intimidated into signing for United then says he was intimidated into saying he wanted to go to Chelsea..

I think the real story here is the agent.. he doesn't care which club the player goes to just which will pay more so he gets more of a percentage.

UEFA, FIFA and the FA need to crack down on these agents.. why are they even involved when a player extends his contract with a club.. he already works for them and they offer a new contract which goes to the players solicitor to review.. can't see what action the agent has there apart from earning a fee for doing nothing

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Just to let you all know, as I mentioned a few weeks ago I'll be closing this thread down and setting up a new football thread ready for the new season.

Once the euphoria of the FA Cup final has died down, I'll open the new one up then.

As for the title? It won't be anything like 'Football Talk' - but you'll know it when you see it :D
