I agree that this is an incredible 'cut and paste' job from a press release by the MEN - come on guys, where's your journalistic integrity? One point to make when people knock the Glazers - our private owners - if we were still a PLC in the middle of what some people have said is the worst worldwide recession since the 30s we'd be faced with plummeting share prices and pressure from shareholders to sell assets, ie players. I doubt the PLC would have authorised the spending spree of the past couple of summers and we certainly wouldn't be looking to sign anyone this. Ronal-go would have certainly gone last summer as the PLC wouldn't have been able to resist a £70m overture. I opposed the Glazers taking over our club, I joined in all the marches etc. But perhaps, with hindsight, having private owners in these troubled times is the lesser of two evils.
