Do any of us really think that ANYTHING we do will make any difference whatsoever, if the Glazer family do not want to sell the club ?

The Red Knight’s have (supposedly) tabled £1bn and have been rebuffed (& to be honest, looking at the debts and the PIK’s and the Bond issue – that figure is well wide of the mark)

To give the Glazers the incentive to walk away, I’d say the offer would have to be “£1bn and we’ll take on your debts” that equates to only just above the clubs market value – and when you consider that the Glazers can take out £140m per year between now and when the bond matures (7 years = £0.98bn) even that wouldn’t be that attractive to them.

I can honestly say that I can’t see any light at the end on the tunnel, No mater how many of us boycott, march and wave the G&G, the Glazer family will not care, they have already been photographed laughing at the LUHG banners in the Stretty & they are the kind of hard nosed business men who don’t respond to protests.

I won’t stop & I know a lot of other United fans won’t but it’s a fact that a week on Monday there will be clueless morons wearing shiny new AON branded shirts & a G&G scarf, the ground will still be 95% full & all those time-served Reds who have thrown there Season Tickets back in the face of the Americans, will have been replaced by ‘1 game a season’ day-trippers, who have paid £99 for a £42 tickets, a Megastore voucher and fish ‘n chips !

If the likes of Keith Harris – with his financial clout and wealthy friends are waving the white flag and looking elsewhere, what can WE realistically do ?

    I called you a tit after you called me a moron. In case you are bad with chronology, scroll up. Don’t try to be a smart ass. I made a clean argument the first time around, then you decided to call me a moron for my opinions which led to me calling you a tit, rightfully.

    At no point did I call you a moron, you’ve misread what I’ve said.

    @johnboy

    I didn’t post this blog on here ! Somebody else did, and I’ve already said – I was trying out Tumblr for first time & wrote it on the pot !

    Oh, and when you’re trying to patronise someone, about taking more care – don’t make the mistake of not adding spaces ! Pleaseotherwise isn’t a word as far as I’m aware.

    On a final note- I don’t (as a rule) post on sites like this, for one very simple reason – if you air an opinion, some MORON will tell you that you’re not entitled to it & then air theirs as gospel.

    “united are global and so is the struggle”…the these global daytrippers certainly constitute something to our club no?!? awful piece of journalism.
    —————————————————————————

    Hang on …. Constitute ?

    Daytripper certainly “Set of rules” something to our club no ?

    Fantastic use of the English language – do take more care johnboy !

    @fino…i wrote CONSTITUTE not CONSTITUTION…

    CONSTITUTE as in ‘a part of the whole’ as opposed to CONSTITUTION – a ‘body of principles/set of rules’. i think you’ll find the sentence i wrote makes perfect sense.

    re ‘Pleaseotherwise’, i think that the majority would agree that ‘Pleaseotherwise’ is a brilliant word and should be nominated for inclusion into the English language.

    Next time you are on the pot instead of writing drivel, purchase one of those Oxford English Dictionaries and have a good old read, failing that you could probably steal one from your sixth form college ?!

    CRETIN – look it up Fino, it’ll be a good read!

    johnboy – I think that we got off on the wrong foot.

    Calling someone a ‘Cretin’ ? that cut me to the quick.
