A lot of people £#%&!ed off in 2005 cause they were bored. After 1999 they'd been there, done it and seen it all. The takeover provided an extremely convenient get-out clause. Several of our lot who used to be home and away regulars use it as an excuse week in week out not to go to the match. Funny how they've enough money for a night on the sniff afterwards... |

The reason i think this is because back when the edwards family where king, supporters had no choice and no voice. There was no internet for us to organise ourselves, cell phones where not wide spread and we were not a public company with supporters owning a slice (no matter how small a slice). But looking backwards and comparing one shit stain to another is not a useful exercise anyway, all it does is provide glazer apologists with a platform to justify them. |

Bored of the shit atmosphere, the guy near me screaming at Giggs every ten seconds, the clueless fans, the jester hats, the stadium announcers, the deafening music, the high prices getting higher, the 'sit down and shut up' attitude, the Sky kick-offs, the 'football club' being removed from the badge, the obscene wages, the excessive advertising....I could go on. My dad and I used to come out of OT every week sighing and shaking our heads, wondering why we were paying £600 a year to be bored shitless. Of course, none of these things are the Glazers' fault, they were all there before. But we complained didn't we? the fanzines were full of this stuff every single issue. There was bound to be a breaking point, and for me that was when the gimps took over. Each to their own and all that, but I don't mind admitting that OT had become a depressingly boring experience for me. |

On a separate note, here are 5 ace things the club have done since 2005: *Put on an classy tribute to George Best vs West Brom. *Put 'Stretford End' on the seats in place of a sponsor logo. *Backed Fergie properly in the transfer market when he's needed it. *Taken up a fan's idea for the Munich tribute. *Erected the 'holy trinity' statue. |

Which of the others wouldn't have happened without the Glazers? |

To be honest I would have expected all of the other to have happened without the Glazers so I don't believe they deserve any credit. I don't believe in getting credit for something you haven't done. However even if they were down to the Glazers I imagine we could have got them done for less than £660 million if they had never come along. |

except for the not going any more bit. I still go and probably always will while I can. I like watching the football and laughing out loud when the stadium suddenly wakes from its collective stupor every so often, sometimes for literally minutes at a time. [quote] Quote:
This i'm not so sure about. I don't believe for a moment that there's any certainty that the investment in the team we've seen over the past 3 years would've taken place under the plc. In fact not a £#%&!ing chance would it have. One major transfer per season was virtually the plc mantra, and the times when that rule was relaxed were very closely balanced by activity in the market in the preceding or following season. The Glazers bought the club on paper, and they've sanctioned a string of players by twiddling the numbers. They do not have to please - or pay - shareholders, otherwise we simply would not have all the players we now watch in the shirt. This is a salient point in the whole process, and one which Platini is digging at in his campaigning for change imo. If you look at the economy right now it's easy to think United could soon be in a bit of trouble, when you balnce debts and rising ticket costs with a drop off (a potentially huge one for a short time, at least) in disposable income. But @#%&!s who play money games at the toppest tables won't be too worried. The recent investment in the United team is a pretty good example of the strength of United's current position, not its weakness. And we are already seeing this played out on the pitch. Bit muddled up there but can't be arsed synthesising, so motwyw! |
