Glazer closing in on ManU ownership - Page 2

One thing i know for sure though....mr. Glazer better not show his face in or around Old Trafford without an army of police officers to protect him. It may be his club on paper, but he'll never be able to mingle with it's fans. They'll rip his head off.

I do believe there are lines that SHOULD NOT be crossed...

I do not see the point. I mean there is more at stake than money... by Glazer taking over Man U, he is just not taking away its prestige; in my opinion it's an insult to Europe.

I love Man U the way it is. That's it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

If I were as rich as Abramovich and such I wouldn't do such a thing because I am no European. It is just my principles I suppose...

Sod Man U. Think about the Palace.

It's not an insult to europe, that's a bit too much. Most people outside Britain couldn't care less what happens to ManU, or whatever English team for that matter, so it's more an insult for British football, which shows by the reaction of the fans all over the country. The rest of footballminded Europe is merely watching this with interrest, some might even hope that this will be the downfall of the evil red empire.

If only we could buy our own ground back from Noades!

Well you have a point johnny. hehehe [img]smile.gif[/img]

But then there is nothing American about Manchester United... I mean it's not Tampa Bay.

If he takes over I hope he does what Abramovich is able to do with Chelsea...

This will be a nice drama.

How will he pay it off ? Easy... by selling v. Nistelrooy, Ferdinand, and Rooney to the highest bidders and replace them with cheap garbage. [/QUOTE]Not Ferdinand, he already said he wish to keep Ferdinand in the team. Not sure about the rest. There are news about Cristiano Ronaldo going to Real Madrid though.

Btw, I think he does know something about football. Put the ball on the ground and kick it. There! That's football [/QUOTE]Does Glazer even know who Ferdinand is?

On another note, how does Glazer expect to get 100% control of the club if 25% of it is in the hands of supporters who hate his guts? He's bought out the big investors like McManus etc and now has close to 75% I heard. But how can he compel the remaining 25% to sell?
