There is no doubting the team’s achievements, 19-times English champions and famous from Beijing to Baltimore. But for some on Wall Street, the financials just do not add up.

Most of what J Stand said in his article about Ferguson yesterday still stands http://www.afinelung.com/?p=4594, but the knighted so-called socialist (Fergie, not J Stand) claims in today’s Evening News that he is not to benefit …

In 2005, when very powerful people at Manchester United and equally powerful people governing the English and European game said and did fuck all to stop Malcolm Glazer plunging our beloved football club into perilous …

There are questions among some United fans as to whether Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager, and David Gill, the chief executive, will stand to personally profit from the Glazers’ decision to list the club on the New York stock exchange…

There are United players past and present for whom I have zero or close to zero affection. Some are obvious – I think of Neil Webb skulking off against Forest as the world caved in …

Manchester United’s owners have finally admitted the club is hindered by the debts they placed on the club upon their takeover in 2005.

Another day and yet another quote from Mr David (Debt is the Road to Ruin) Gill regarding the Glazers ownership of United, this time he’s been praising how they played so outstandingly on the pitch and helped us to another league title last season, ok, so maybe not those exact words, but near enough.

Hot on the heels of Ferguson’s ‘ban that reporter’ rant, here’s more from the Glazer dictatorship ruling over Old Trafford, M16. As featured in the Guardian today, a United season ticket holder suffered at the …

The Guardian’s David Conn has uncovered the annual financial figures for all Premier League clubs, which show that despite United’s £286m turnover, they actually lost £79m due to loan repayments. The figures also reveal that the Glazers have put a grand total of ‘nil’ into Manchester United Football Club.

So Rooney wants to leave Old Trafford. So what?

The urban dictionary is a decent site – if you ever get a few minutes and want to get with the hip young generation and find out what ‘macca’ and other modern youth terms mean, …

All you have to do is look and listen out for the tiresome shite served up by the great British public and media in the build up to the match and award yourself EINEN PUNKT for each one you spot. I know you all only read The Guardian but make the effort, have a look in WH Smiths or something.

The Tory toff has been rambling on today about the new media buzz phrase ‘debt crisis’, but when you read past all that old rubbish you will see a piece on the BBC’s website about the seriousness of the Glazer’s debt-ridden ownership of Manchester United Football Club.

News broke this morning that the Red Knights’ bid to buy Manchester United Football Club from the family currently bum-raping it for all its worth is on the verge of collapse. Predictably we have robbed …

During a trip past Old Trafford this weekend I saw a sticker that said something like: ‘United needs you. Starve the Glazers, don’t renew’.

It appears the revolution is finally about to stumble into action. IMUSA have suggested their members should boycott season tickets at Old Trafford.

On the negative side, in a similar vein to the get out offered by the ‘wait and see brigade’ five years ago there are a number of conscience softeners for those without the gumption to carry it through. Lines such as ‘buy as little as possible in the ground.’ and ‘season-ticket holders who decide to renew are asked to leave it as late as possible before the 13 June deadline’ aren’t particularly awe-inspiring. But at least they have done what MUST still haven’t and seem to have grasped the metal of the situation beyond blowing up balloons and helping boost the alternative economy of Salford through a scarves campaign. We will ‘wait and see’ how successful these calls are and whether MUST ever does follow suit.

From the Guardian: FC United homage to history as they prepare for future at Newton Heath
The club, formed in protest at the Glazers’ leveraged buy-out of Manchester United, are to build their own ground

It won’t surprise anyone, but it appears the dibble are backing United in trying to contain any protests against the Glazer regime at Old Trafford.

According to The Guardian this morning, the Red Knights are calling for United fans not to renew their books next season to help their plan prevail. This is taken from their website:
Red Knights urge season …
