Kimbo Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 The Glazers seem to me to be absentee owners. They've put the wrong people in charge of the club and those people have made mistake after mistake, wasting a mind boggling amount of the clubs money, but the Glazers have failed to react and rectify the situation. I think they're very poor owners and Man U fans are right to want rid of them, they only lose me when they whinge about other teams having money to spend.

Guest HTT II Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I’ve always said the likes of them and Roman are not the bad owners, but the likes of Ashley are, their only issue has been they recruited terribly on and off the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Abramovich and the Glazers are not similar in any way, one bankrolled the club with a billion and the other has taken a billion. Sad to see so many saying Man U fans have no right to complain when that was said to us for over a decade re Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see so many saying Man U fans have no right to complain when that was said to us for over a decade re Ashley. They're not similar in as much as Abramovich threw £1.5B of his own wedge into Chelsea whereas the Glaziers have used Man United's own money to fund transfers. And lots of it. It's just hasn't grafted. They have, of course, taken shed loads out of the club for their own gain. Ashley, for tax purposes, put a £110m marker over NUFC & didn't spend a penny. Hall and Shepherd didn't put a penny in either, bought players on future debt and left the club fucked making millions in the process. More like the Glaziers in fact only spent the clubs money/debt more wisely until it ran out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Spent my evening watching the 95/96 season review (So Close!) I used to watch that fucking thing every week on VHS Been a while since I've seen it, was nice to dive into that nostalgia trip and remember just how good we were. Still hurts seeing us drop points after Christmas Hope we can have something similar for the next generation of NUFC fans, except with a happier ending (a cup win or two).

leffe186 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Swiss Ramble (an Arsenal fan tbf) has done some educated estimating and reckons they should just about be OK under UEFA’s new rules. Seems like Arsenal have done the maths…but they’re walking a tightrope. It’s one reason why they really really need top four this year. An injury to Jesus and/or Partey could make things very interesting: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Arsenal have spent A LOT of money. Interestingly, they are looking to spend more on a RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
