The biggest humatarian crisis in the world with millions on the brink of starvaation caused by our new potential owners

Ownership of utd would be a PR exercise to mask this shit

Nevermind though we're getting a new striker out of it
Which striker?

Wonder if the Murdoch BSKYB deal is still on the table, the wumming of the scouse after being owned by the Sun owner would be worth it alone.

FYI - Murdoch doesn't own Sky anymore and the new owners don't have anything to do with The Sun

Most people leave something when they stop enjoying it - who owns the club and the direction they take it in may affect that enjoyment but it’s rarely the thing that’s the difference between enjoying something and not. That’s why F.C. was never going to grab that many - people didn’t want the glazers but that issue was always secondary to enjoying united. Most united fans hated Edwards (certainly whilst I was growing up) but it didn’t stop them going. The glazers are simply an extension of that. And SA would be too. Would give me the excuse I need (but then I really enjoyed Newcastle the other day! And so on.

That’s my point . All very well all the won’t someone think of the children brigade deploring the abysmal human rights record of these but it won t make any difference to the vast majority of the customer base .

They will continue to consume the product and buy the merchandise and wear the replica shirts ad infinitum .
