Revolution ahead or dire trouble.

Interesting developments at Arsenal, a huge leveraged buy out.:rolleyes:

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Just like several other clubs sadly..:td::(

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Yup, we're screwed. High chance of Arsenal doing a Villa or Newcastle.

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Newcastle end player dispute. One worry off the table now.

I don't get the Arsenal thing as I haven't had time to read much this week. I've seen the buyout headlines but what's happening that'd see bad situations similar to Newcastle and Villa unfold?

Well all the fans with shares are now obliged to sell them to Kroenke, he can also now dip his hand into the pot and take money out if he so wishes.
No more shareholders meetings to hold them to account.

Must admit I am bemused by Jose’s insistence that he needs a central defender. United had the second best defence in the league last year conceding only 1 less than City and far less than the other top six. It was at the sharp end that they failed last season.:confused:

Well now he has another one in his sights Jim according to the latest on the wires.

l loved this from Paddy Power earlier..:D:D

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

He is taking on debt to finance the purchase of the remaining shares which leads to the strong possibility that profits from the club will be used to service that debt. There will also be less accountability since financial results will not have to be given to shareholders and thus he can take money out with less scrutiny. Finally some fans have held their shares forever, never wishing to sell, will now be forced to sell.

If the future looks bleak and uncertain, you could all come and support a proper football club that doesn't screw it's fan base or spend money it doesn't have

you'll have to be quick though, Luton won't wait for you :D

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Never Luton.

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Marlon Santos move to Newcastle off after Work Permit rejection.

Federico Fernandez is in Newcastle for a medical but the deal could still collapse.

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Mike Ashley splashes the cash at last. He has just bid £90 million for someone called Fraser.:D

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Amazing how he is not so poor after all.;)

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

Question, what is the point of Alexis Sanchez. Utter tripe tonight, it's a good job for him he isn't on performance related pay.:(

Re: Season 2018/2019
 

What was your overall opinion of Man Utd Jim?.
