Man U sold to an American!

Re: Man U sold to an American!

the fans are the ones that will run the club into the ground, not the tycoon. If it's a Russian, than it's ok, but if it's an American, it's not....but wait, don't Russians love hockey? so then wtf....The fans need to stop thinking that they're sport is being contaminated by American scum and look towards the future in how the tycoon could actually help. With each club competing to pay for the best players, they need someone to fuck them in the ass first to get hot and fresh players.

Re: Man U sold to an American!

^^ I agree mate. I think they are pissed that someone with no real interest in or attachment to the sport is buying it just for $$$, and trying to use future earnings of the club to finance his purchase. But as much as people were pissed about Roman buying Chelski, look at where they are now.
Give it a couple of years, and no one will care.

But also, look at how he is running the Bucs.. he begged the community to help pay for a stadium or her would have to move the team, but he had enough $$ to do it him self.
When they won the Super Bowl, this idiot belted out, the Tampa Bucaneers are champions.. it is the Tampa BAY Bucs you tosser. lol

Then when he is supposed to bidding for "his" stadium to host the Super bowl, he is no where to be found, most likely was out trying to buy Man U at the time.

so there are more variables than the fact he is a Yank buying the club. but at the end of the day, if his money brings more silver ware to Old Trafford, I dont think any one will care who bought the club.

Re: Man U sold to an American!

my favorite team is the san diego chargers...though i dont live in california. has been since i was 6.

theyre owned by the biggest contributor to the republican party west of the mississippi, the spanos'. i cant stand bush or anything the republican party stands for. theyre ruining this country and ruining all foreign realtions.

its a major fly in the ointment for me but i dont stop being a massive Chargers fan because of it.....

***For all Man U fans out there***

To make you feel better.....a message from your new messiah

extract from Glazer's welcome letter to the man united fans:

Dear Soccer fans,

As you all know, i've been looking to buy the United's of Manchester for a
little while now. I've also heard that some of you may not be too happy
about me using, sorry, buying the club in order to reach new heights and
also, that I may not be a fan. Well fear not, as i'm writing this personal
letter to let you know that i'm a genuine fan of you blue devils.

I began rooting for the United's back in 1992 when our little Malcolm JR
was practising those Soccer home runs out in the yard. I loved the way you
turned defence into offence, and the way that Bobby Shearer used to top
half it into the goal bag. Oh man, that play was hot. My
son tells me that you even out-zoned your City rivals Southampton in the
4th quarter of the FA World series. As for your current team, that Rude
guy is awesome!!!! I see a profitable future at the United, with the young
talent of Cristiano Rooney (man, that guy can dance!) and Peter Shilton
giving us hope in defeating the evil Russian tyranny which assaults the
freedom of our beloved Soccer. With the marketing potential of those
Neville brothers and that Pearce dude leading the
team, we can all look to acheiving our beliefs of a better future.
Especially when I add Alexei Lalas and Cobi Jones to the starting 15.

Now to you, the fans.

I've been to see the United's play once before, and the respect you pay
your team in silently admiring the play out on the pitch was overwhelming.
Because of this, i've just purchased a new GBP45 million mansion in the
Manchester to be close to you guys. And more good news is i'm planning to
add an extra 10,000 seats through corporate boxes so more genuine blue
devils can experience the play. What's with the prawn sandwiches I had to
eat when I was there? Well, rest assured, it'll be super size prawn
baguettes when I take charge. I can't wait to come over to the Manchester
isles, as I love the country, especially the beaches and the hot chicks. I
hope you can all see my
vision of this future, with new shirt sponsors (Dunkin Donuts) and new
team name (The Manchester Gloom) i'm sure things are looking bright.


*Further good news for you guys is that i've just agreed a partnership
deal with McDonalds, who will help in promoting the Manchester brand.This
will involve re-naming the stadium to 'McTrafford' as well as an
exciting launch of Manchester Gloom plastic fan toys in every happy meal.
Cristiano Rooney will be the face of this campaign and during this, he
will be marketed globally as Roonald McDonald.


Take care dudes.
Regards

Malcolm
