Because Manchester United aren't for sale?
And you could buy us and invest 1 Billion in us and it would still all cost less than it would cost to acquire Man United
Are Man City considered as "big" a club as Man Utd/Liverpool now? (Honest question). If not the argument would be that they don't get the kudos in the medium term with Newcastle no matter what they do,
Nope, not in my mind. I still think we're a bigger club than Man City though, so what do I know :-D
