Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

The ovation Beckham got yesterday was one of the most touching and beautifull moments i've witnessed in football. Pure class. Conratulations.

Whether or not people rate him as world class, he's definitely a special player, and a defining player of a great era for United.

Highlight of the match was when Rooney scored the first - the camera panned to him on the bench and he was smiling. Whoops.

Obviously we had some good times without him, and Ronaldo's ascension was awesome to witness, but I still regret the way it ended with Becks. Hopefully he'll come back as an ambassador or something when he's done.

(oh and couldn't VDS have just let that rocket go in, I mean really...)
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Dunno but it's been around for a while. My mates dad thought that was his real name! :LOL:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Another confident performance by United. Rooney is a machine.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Was a alright game, both teams seemed slightly off the pace from Europe though. Nani and Berbatov were both brilliant and combined with Rooney was enough.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

It almost doesnt make sense to me how Rooney continues to score like this.
You have to remember that even Ronaldo had to take a few freekicks and penalties. But Rooney's getting all of his from open play, a third of which are off his "bald patch".

I thought Nani was poor tbh. He wasted so many simple passes, even his assist was a scuff! He got a bit better when Jason came on, only because it moved him to the right.
Tony V was unusually quiet too. Didn't seem interested in taking people on, instead he kept cutting inside. Hopefully he's saving himself for Liverpool...

Gary Neville did well, seems to be another who is starting to roll back the years. I thought Duff would give him a problem when he came on, but hardly noticed him. At this rate Nev'll (:P) be in the England squad.

It was nice to see Rooney score with his feet for a change!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Nah, can't agree, thought Nani was great.

Most of our attacks went through him with Valencia being stifled on the right.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

regardless who the hell buys it they would morons if they didnt borrow to run and own the club.. man u fans can hate the glazers all they want but your going to have the same situation with the red knights, unless these guys love manu so much there willing to make NO money on there investment(until of course they sell).. i mean this guy harris is just full of shit.. so he is going to lower the prices of tickets, thus guaranteeing you will lose more revenue, how is he going pay for new players? either you sell your assets(players) or you raise ticket prices, or as the glazers keep hammering on, you expand your global influence(this seems much better then having fans as shareholders, at least from a business point of view). This is no different then a politician who promises not to raise taxes, when you have less tax revenue and you dont raise taxes, something has to give... I really want to know how harris's plan accounts for buying new players... how does he plan on raising capital to do this? Out of his own investors pockets?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

The club was self sufficient before the Glazer's arrived, its just the crippling debt which has caused any ounce of profit to be sucked away. Since the Glazer's took over as a whole the club makes on a whole a lot more money meaning the chances are we'd be fine.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

What he said. If we didn't have such huge debts to pay, the ticket prices wouldn't have had to have been raised. Therefore, once the debts are gone, we will be able to use that money for whatever. That's putting is very simply of course.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

gomito, there's nothing wrong with borrowing money to run, and even to buy a club.... as long as the buyer is the one who borrows the money..... and as long as the buyer will be the only one bound to pay the debt.
every business man in the world uses personal funding instruments to buy and run companies. that's what fidejussions are for.

but buying a company with a bootstrap transaction and having the company itself to pay the debt and the interests..... that's just wrong.... in any possible sense....

do you own a house? Did you mortgage this house? did you pay cash?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

u didn't read my post carefully, mate. i said it's absolutely normal to use funding instruments... loans, fidejussions, lombard credits, every club owner works with banks support.

but a leveraged buyout is not a funding instrument. using such a transaction to take over a listed company it's basically a "legal" way of stealing... and the only reason why it's still legal is because no major multinational busted up yet because of it....
as soon as a company will face bankrupt coz of an unpaid debt over an lbo, european governments will make it illegal. that's granted.
actually in some countries is already illegal.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

BTW Owen Hargreaves is looking a bit rough these days.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

He played quite well considering he hadn't played for 18 months. Quite impressed by his replacement too - Magnus Eikrem. I don't think he played one bad ball last night when he came on.
Wouldn't be suprised if he steps up to the 1st team next season.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

You should be absolutely buzzing. No easy games left but you certainly got almost the best route to the final possible.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Pretty much a repeat of last seasons final then.

Bayern shouldn't be too hard, just make sure the wingers are stopped. The Frenchies won't offer much, even Liverpool should have beaten Lyon twice!

On the other side I can't see Arsenal getting past Barca and Inter aren't that good either.
