Nice timing. So he launches due diligence on the anniversary of the Munich disaster and now this leak the day before our most important match of the season. Obviously a man in touch with the mood of the fans, I don't think. I hope everyone who takes the time to post on here has taken the time to get onto the Supporters United website and do their bit to try and stop this ginger megalomaniac ruining our beloved club.

Mick Dublin I thought your part of Ireland and the Yanks hit it off very well.
However I hope his bid suceeds as that is the only way United have a chance to move on,we have not advanced one step since the treble,infact under Fergie we are going backwards.

Just in case Glazer thinks anybody is getting resigned to the idea, he is still as welcome as a prostate examination, but bad for the health. Does anyone know what happened to those guys who were arrested at the recent Demo?

Mary your on your own with this one! There is no way the he will improve things here! I don't think he's interested in Football!

Don't know what you're on about Mary (and not for the first time) What has my "part of Ireland" got to do with anything? And thanks for nailing your colours to Glazer's mast. I can now save myself the effort of reading anything you write as you quite clearly haven't got a clue.

Mary Sale, you must be naive if you think Glazer is going to bankroll United and future signings. He can only raise the funds to get his hands on the club by borrowing against its assets and future revenue. In other words, a United under Glazer would be seriously indebted (just like Leeds). The B#800 million is just to secure the ownership of the club and entails no new injection of cash for transfers etc. Indeed, the debt is likely to be so high that funds for transfers are likely to be cut and expect a hike in ticket prices, renaming of Old Trafford etc. I suggest you try to find out about the nature of the Glazer bid and why he is interested in the club before making inaccurate assertions.

Mary,

I think that you are being too harsh on the team in your condemnation of SAF. Having given Chel$ki a flying start at the pre-Ferdinand start of the season our points record has since been superb, with an excellent total to date. Are you saying that this is despite SAF? I suspect that you were, like myself, very disappointed on Saturday, but a draw away would be ok in any normal season, and we are still ahead of the Invincables.

The thing is that we are chasing a club that has the means to put B#80m in a season and run at a loss, while SAF gets what is allowed after the shareholders have been fed, but even this would be far worse if the gnome succeeds and takes out even more money to pay off his debts.

Mary you are not on your own! Does anyone seriously believe we have gone forward or even stayed the same' since Edwards and Smith went in 2001. We have lost our sense of direction. I may be wrong but I say this "I would rather Glazer take over than Gardner and Gill stay". If he puts the prices up we have the choice of staying at home. I will ask this question once more and I am still waiting for the answer. "Why would Glazer want to pay B#800m just to ruin Manchester United" Any answers?

I think Mary makes a perfectly valid point. I have no idea what impact Glazer would have on the playing side of things at Old Trafford but there is no denying that United have not progressed since 1999. On the contrary, we have declined as a force but any criticism of Sir Alex is regarded as sacrilege. Anyone who disagrees with that view might like to tell us if they consider one European Cup in 18 years of Fergie's reign as being an acceptable return for arguably the biggest club in the world. Come on people, wake up and smell the coffee.

This week's going to be a big one for us. We lost the title on Saturday with Fergie's great tactics. Tomorrow we could be out of CL. At the weekend we could lose our last remaining chance of winning a trophy. Then we have the possiblity that next season we will be renting our stadium. Then local fans will be priced out of going to the stadium. We will also be making a financial loss for the first time in years. I'm going to be a Chelsea fan.

One European Cup in 18 years of Fergie's reign is a poor return I agree. But that's a reflection on the Premiership, not United. We're by far the most succesful Premiership side in Europe. I'm not sure why Premiership sides do so badly. Maybe it's the style of football needed to succeed, maybe it's the fact we play to much football, maybe it's because the talent just isn't there? (look at the results of the British and Irish national sides over the last 30 years and compare them to Italy, France and Germany) Whatever, surely you can't put all the blame on the management and board of United?

What is wrong with taking a buisness on a mortgage,I have one on mine,like a lot of other people also on my house,thats why I work so hard to pay them.Glazer would not risk so much if he did not intend to secure his investment.The best way is by making United once more a name to fear.Dell good points.Fred you hit the nail on the head they could never answer that question.They are inventing problems before the guy has had a chance.
Derrik I understand what you say,but this season we were disapointed by City,Blackburn, Palace,Fulham Exeter,and Portsmouth the inabilty to put the ball in the net due to the boring system Fergie now plays.

fred the red, consider this scenario. If he does a sale and leaseback of Old Trafford and puts the club into debt (to pay dividends) by whatever means he deems appropriate, sells a few stars (eg Ruud, Rooney, Ronaldo, Rio?) AND puts up prices, he will probably get his B#800M back practically overnight. He will then own the club, which will still make profits on merchandising, but will have acquired virtually gratis. Why would he care what the club does in football terms after that??

Mary and Fred (the first) - your naivety really is astounding . Of course Glazer does not want to ruin United, who has ever suggested he does? He sees United as a cash cow, which it would undoubtedly be if the club owned its broadcasting rights, admission charges went up and Old trafford were renamed in a sponsorship deal. His only interest in United is for his own personal financial gain but, as the Board has said, his business plan saddles the club with too much debt. Did Ridsdale and the Leeds PLC want to bankrupt Leeds? Almost certainly not but it still happened. By the way, if you think Glazer guarantees sporting success, just look at Tampa Bay's position. I can only assume Mary that you are a blue.

Is Mary and City fan?

Fred the Red, spoken like the idiot you obviously are !.

Phil ang Ghetty you two appear from no where,What I have to laugh about is Phil from Newcastle talking about naivety.Sick to your own Never won won anything for years club.And just another fool from Leeds.
United is the most important thing in life for me,are the people who run the club now running it for the fans benefit,did the ones before the Edwards no.
Some people are just anti American

United Not For $ALB#.

being a bitter i look forward to uncl malcom taking over your "independent" club!
how laughable your supporters associations are - your club was sold a long time ago and now it is being passed to a new owner who hopefully increase ticket prices and so the locals will have to watch your real team - bury

Fred whos not a red, manchester. Take your head out of the sand. We`re not for sake full stop. ee the next time you go to OT, just try and spout that rubbish. Hint sit next to a copper or an exit.

Mary, at least as a PLC the club has to be run with a view to long-term success. Glazer is interested only in getting as much cash out of it as he can in the short term. When you ask what is wrong with having a business with a mortgage, the answer is nothing, UNLESS you start from a position where you don't have one, don't need one and the only reason you take debt on is so the shareholder can fill his pockets. Nothing to do with being anti-American (which is rich coming from you with your reknowned xenophobia) and everything to do with wanting the club to be around for my grandchildren to support.

To the person who posted that last comment about Fred the Red, get a life and a spell checker!

Fred the Red what a Joke! You've stumbled onto the wrong half! Back to the Blue half, where you spend most of your time! (Apologies to the REAL City Supporters)

Obviously this would be a bad move for United if Glazer got involved. BUT I can say as a season ticket holder I will not be bullied into paying over the odds for my ticket. I simply WONT go! There is only so far and SO much people will pay. Its simple as that! So what if that makes me an armchair supporter im not lining his pockets.. EVER!!

I have never been so disheartened in my 10 years as a Man U fan. I this sale goes through then season ticket prices will go up and who is going to foot the bill? The fans of course. I can't afford to watch Utd any more and I can barely afford my Sky subscription. We Utd fans need to stay United and stop this sale going through. This is a rallying call to reds all around the world. WHERE ARE YOU, COME ON, WHERE ARE YOU, LETS BE 'AVIN YOU. YOU'RE OUR TWELFTH MAN. COME ON!
