Manchester United Thread [2004-2005]

[PhiLLer]

The players' mentality have been affected during the last and this season. We will be facing Sunderland and Wigan next season, are they gonna take points from us too?

Unless we change the way we play and get some fresh players in, probably we will.
Now tha Wigan are up perhaps Carrol can go back to his old club.

Well I guess that the next week will be decisive.

'Accept £800m or I walk away': Glazer to put Man Utd on spot

08 May 2005

Malcolm Glazer, the US sports tycoon, will make his £800m bid for Manchester United this week, having put the final touches to the financing over the weekend.

The owner of American football team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been in touch with the two Irish racehorse owners who jointly hold 28.9 per cent of Man Utd's shares, and will make his formal offer to them during the week.

It is expected that he will bid 300p a share, the amount he has been indicating he will offer for some weeks. Mr Glazer will also make it clear this is his final offer, and that if it is not accepted he will walk away.

The Irish duo, JP McManus and John Magnier, have indicated that they are looking for more than 300p a share. Talks between the two sides are expected to be tough.

Mr Glazer has been stalking Man Utd for over a year, building a 28 per cent stake in the club and, last year, forcing three directors off the company's board because of their opposition to his bid.

Since then, Man Utd's board has softened its stance and has allowed Mr Glazer and his backers, NM Rothschild and JP Morgan, access to its books so they can make a firm offer.

However, when an indicative bid was placed before the club, the board rejected it due to the level of debt in Mr Glazer's bid, which the board claimed could be bad for the club's stability.

The Takeover Panel, the City regulator, set a deadline of 17 May for Mr Glazer to put in a firm offer, or else he would be prevented from bidding for six months.

It is understood he will easily beat that deadline.

Man Utd fans have said they will raise funds to buy the McManus and Magnier stake, with help from Japanese bank Nomura. However, protests against the takeover, scheduled for Man Utd's home game against West Bromwich Albion yesterday, were cancelled due to a lack of support.

hope he f.ck off as soon as possible

 

[ticcan]

are we supposed to beg for him to stay or something? :boohoo:

Doesnt he by now realise he isnt wanted ... take a hint ffs, please, go and f*ck yourself you stupid redheaded c*nt...

 

[untouchable]

Glazer will never win, trust me, although he seems too stupid to realize that.

Did you guys know that if we beat all the inferior opposition we dropped points against, we would've had 91 points? Our problem this season has been consistency and taking care of the 'little guys', if we can rip Arsenal a new one, what's stopping us? Anyway, Chelsea took full points from the bottom teams and look where they are now. Next season Sir Alex said he'll fix this and I have faith that he will.

this is so true. they score 3-4 goals against weaker team. we can't even score against them. teams like blackburn, crystal palace, norwich should not cause much troubles to us but we can't even perform well. this is the main reason we failed this season

 

[eassam]

let's look on to the next season and june 1st when the transfer market opens! we are going to finish 3rd this season! we will have to qualify our way in to cl! same old story!

but we will buy new players and sell carrol back to wigan!!
wigan probably has more money to spend then us!

Blues in war with United
Chelsea are ready to go to war with Manchester United over their signing of £4million wonderkid John Obi Mikel. The Blues are threatening legal action because they insist the Nigerian teenage sensation had already agreed to join them. A bemused Mikel, who plays for Norwegian side FC Lyn Oslo, revealed he had originally done a deal to go to Chelsea NOT United. At the press conference to announce his move to Old Trafford last weekend, Mikel, 18, confessed: “I am surprised it turned out to be Manchester United not Chelsea.”

[mnj2x]

guess SAF deserves one more season but he has to quit the chopping and changing which has cost us a lot of points this season.

 

[shrekiejai]

He had to do it coz our squad is old.. most of the key players cant play week in week out...

Ronaldo had too long a season...

Our keepers had to be changed coz they are both equally bad..

Problem is, our squad players aint much good..

 

[eassam]

we don't have depth in our squad! like chelski do!
our fringe players aren't up to standard yet!
when we sell around 7to 8 of them and buy 4 or 5 new players we will kill epl and do the treble again!
do u think it is time ferdinand ****s off or what?

 

[Andrejs]

Yes, let's sell all our **** players and then get 5 top class players, win the treble and dominate the game for years to come!!!
























Jesus, how dumb can you get

what kind of a whore are you?

 

[Stotty]

Chelsea can shut up about the whole Mikel deal being sealed before we signed him. Its not as though they've done that before is it What goes around comes and around.

In other news, Paul Le Guen has quit as coach as Lyon. Should sign him up to work with carlos as assistant next season, then when fergie leaves he can take over

Anyway, considering Malouda and Essien have both said Le Guens future affects theirs......
