The footy !!

don't disagree generally but it's hardly affected the market value or attraction of man utd as something to own, quite the reverse in fact. that's not really basic economics!!

i just think its scaremongering. if man utd plc got into trouble (trying to think of a likely example)......then someone else would buy the club, let's say for 1 billion. the glazer's get their money to pay off their loans and that's that. where's the disaster??

Not the case. If you want to buy a company thats going down the tubes you just wait untill its share price bottoms out or let it go into receivership and then buy it off the creditors.

If Fergeson was to leave the Club, thats a large asset to loose. If his replacement couldnt win games.....and if ..........

Man City became the number 1 club in Manchester........8O8O8O

that would make things interesting:lol:

But as you say al hypothetical and unlikely to happen..

Arsenal on the other hand have no debt to service so they will always be able to ride out any storm that comes their way.

Not true. I think you're still carrying the debt from the new stadium. One of the reasons Wenger has been so frugal.

Obviously not on the same level as Man U, debt-wise. But it's still an issue. Increased revenue from the stadium and from redevelopment of the old ground should cover it though.
 
watched Barca last night on the telly - a disappointingly easy 4-0 against Racing

however, 9 youth team players in the side deserves full r.e.s.p.e.c.t

:D
 
but then again you have been beaten 8 times this season 6 of those away and with regards to experience the city squad now has a variety of experienced premier league players so it will still be tight (0-0 draw written all over it eh?)[/QUOTE]


think I should have put a tenner on that 0-0 draw !! :?

Could not find a pub in London with this on. Sounds like I saved myself 90 minutes of misery.
 
Both teams were more interested in not loosing the game rather than winning it.

Spurs back into 4th :roll:

shocking game

not a classic, however I will take positives from the fact that we are defending a lot better. In hughes last 9 games we conceded 18 goals, in mancinis first 9 we have conceded 6. we are looking a lot more solid at the back and lets face it thats where you build from. We are probably a creative central midfielder and a big powerful striker away from being a very good side.

Wouldnt you class Barry as creative midfielder then ?

As for powerful striker, hes sunning it up in Argentina isnt he :lol:

:lol:

barry is more defensive surely? and yeah god knows where tevez is? to be fair to him, his child was born 10 weeks early, apparently mother and baby out of intensive care now so he should be back soon?

He's more defensive at the moment because he has to be with your defensive record, but at Villa (also the reason he was going to replace Alonso) he was their main creative midfielder (wasnt he :?) Will be interesting if he does get a more attacking role.

Like you say, Tevez is away for personal reasons, but you wouldnt have thought your manager knew anything about it if you listened to his post match interview :?
 
Paddy Power open book on next Chelsea Player to be fined


Next Chelsea player to be fined (after Ashley Cole)





John Terry 3/1 Frank Lampard 8/1 Joe Cole 14/1 Didier Drogba 3/1 Ricardo Carvalho 10/1 Florent Malouda 16/1 Nicolas Anelka 6/1 Michael Essien 10/1 Petr Cech 25/1 Salomon Kalou 8/1 Michael Ballack 12/1
 
Ha ha... that's assuming Ashley will actually be fined, which no one at the club has ever confirmed!

Anyway, who cares? 4 points clear at the top of the league :D
