Village Idiot Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Also, would Fifa allow a gov to be involved ? A few local and regional governments have been bailing out Spanish teams for quite a while. Racing Santander was even owned by the regional government for some time, for example. The cunts of Espanyol got credits from the public regional bank... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Government money has already been used to prop up Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikri Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 If Man Utd were to fall into serious financial difficulty there would be no need for the government to step in, the banks would do so instead since it is their money that's at risk - not the tax payer's.

nufcjmc Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 over the years the really big successful teams have dropped off I always thought it would be fergerson retiring that would put them up shits creak but being financially crippled may topple them over sooner still Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Quite simply if Man Utd got bailed out, then this coalition government would never ever got voted in again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Quite simply if Man Utd got bailed out, then this coalition government would never ever got voted in again. They never will anyway. Tories by themselves aye, no chance of Ldems getting anywhere near the amount of votes next election. They sold out on about 80% of their basic principles.

Away Toon Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 AIG were the main sponsors until they went tits up and were bailed out by the US Government with tax payers money. Then again we benefited in the same way with Northern Rock, so at least some of the taxes you pay went to a good cause. I'm personally excused Taxes.

Pilko Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The Tampa Bay Bucs (owned by the Glazers) are really struggling to sell out there games this season, they've had a few poor seasons in a row, since winning the superbowl, and had top 5 draft picks in both of the last two years, which means big salaries. I could see them selling up or moving to LA, but I'm sure that's putting a strain on the Glazer's cash flow.
