Manchester United bought by an American :)

[Agent TBY]

that's what i meant, its only London teams

I was talking about the whole of the 90's,where it as United,Arsenal,United Arsenal all the way.

 

[superkingdave]

yes and?

 

[sledger]

the 90s were not arsenal man utd all the way, only from about 98 onwards, which is only 2 years.

 

[Craig]

Right-O,let's have two horse races back,the way it used to be.

Just like in Scotland

Ditto Blackburn then?

 

[Agent TBY]

Ditto Blackburn then?

What about the season after that?

EDIT : You guys aren't getting the big picture.Don't look at individual season's league tables,look at the whole decade since the Premiership started,you see only 3 names,and one got relegated later.

Also I do not know if many of you have realized that my initial comment ala two horse races was a sarcastic jibe at Chris Hinton's comment that Glazer should be all wrong for Man Utd.

I am not insulting your intelligence,I'm just clearing things up because this discussion is becoming pointless.

 

[Sanz]

this discussion is becoming pointless.

well while we discuss this here, Glazer seems to have secured 75 % stake in united.

I was surprised to read this( in BBC) :-

"...In the past two years the share price of the club has steadily risen as Mr Glazer has bought up chunks of stock, forcing him to pay more for each tranche in the club.

The steadily rising stock price culminated in the premium £3 a share he paid for the 28.7% Cubic Expression holding and other shareholdings last week. .."

Also, the Shareholders united has been acting like a radical organization and doing a pretty good job of provoking United fans, infact that is the only thing its doing (IMHO).

 

[superkingdave]

Atm i'm not sure whether it'll be a quick in out or long haul by Glazer. The club could be back on the market in 2 years or so

 

[Langeveldt]

Here's one.. What if Abramovic was to buy out Glazer?

 

[superkingdave]

he'd have to sell Chelsea first

 

[Sanz]

I guess that would be okay with the fans. Abramovic doesn't need to borrow money from anyone to buy out United.

One thing I wanted to know, how are the other English Football fans feeling on this issue ? I mean do they feel the same way as United fans ?

 

[superkingdave]

nope, i've had a big smile on my face all weekend

 

[BoyBrumby]

I've been indulging in a little bit of schadenfreude at ManUre's expense too.

Same here. Shame he couldn't have ratcheted the prices up last year for our replay, really!

 

[roseboy64]

Why couldn't it have been Bill Gates? Even Paul Allen would have done.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Because, well, they don't have any interest in buying clubs?

Live with it. Or, I dunno, support a team with which you have the vaguest connection?

 

[roseboy64]

I already know they don't have any interest. Just wondering if it was one of those two buying the club if the fans would be up in arms.

 

[Sanz]

Why couldn't it have been Bill Gates? Even Paul Allen would have done.

Trust me you dont want Paul Allen to own that team. Incidently he also owns a Basket Ball Team, Portland TrailBlazers aka GangstaBlazers.

As for Gates, he would clone all the best players in the world and replace all the existing united players with them.

Ha ! never thought I'd see that word actually being used.

 

[Agent TBY]

He would send Alex Ferguson out for beta testing.
