"Oh yes they are" goes the panto reply There was always going to be a share price drop after Fergie left though, I doubt this was unforeseen. How low can it go I wonder, if Rooney had left last summer and many of you seemed to not be too worried, it is just as well he didn't tbh because I reckon you'd be 6-9 points worse off maybe more without his services this season imo.
Must be honest, i wasn`t bothered either way with Rooney in the summer, if he wanted to go let the ****er and get as much as we could for him. My view has been revised since the start of the season, he is our only consistant perforner at the moment and we would be in dire straights without him.
But unless the Glazers pump the money made from the possible sale of Rooney into buying a new replacement whether its mega bucks or whatever its just gonna weaken your team even more, Fergie was definitely the glue that held it ALL together for the club from a good relationship and understanding with the owners, a solid relationship with the secretary of the club, having trusted and loyal backroom staff and a squad of players that trusted him to the hilt. Since the Moyes era began apart from the owners and the squad everything has been changed, its amazing that a manager who had time to plan his retirement and mentor his understudy well before he left wouldn't have done so without having selfish reasons, Moyes was on a hiding to nothing once he stepped into Fergie's shadow.
To have a situation where United have only one quality performer is totally unacceptable. When did we constantly have more opposition players likely to walk into our side than vice versa? When a spurs side thrashed both at home and away, both competing with United at OT and winning, you know you are in trouble (despite **** refereeing which is really a ****ing red herring) When we have a team with more of our players likely to get into the opposition side, then I will be persuaded that we are making progress.
I have made my dislike of Moyes appoinment clear in several posts, but I thought to link to the Telegraph piece to inject some objective financial perspective into the debate, as I believe it is this that will eventually shape the Glazer's thinking as to whether Moyes is the right man or not. Before another kick of the ball we are £200 mill down on share value since Moyes' appointment ( that's everyone's share portfilio devalued, even the Glazers) - add to the £200 mill the very likely loss of CL revenues and CLTV money for the 2014/15 season, £50 million etc etc - the chances are that with a continued slide in share value to mirror lack-lustre performances in the PL, the losses by the end of the 2014/15 season could amount to £800 million being wiped off the value of the club. With no major sponsorship deals to be factored in to offset these losses, something tells me the Glazers will make a change
Not on the pitch though, where it all matters, stuff the prawn brigade's share value where the sun don't shine!.................
blame the Glazers who didn't spend and took 500m out of the club in 8 years the team lacked investment since years
I doubt the equity holders are going to blame themselves for the fall in their share price..... I said months ago that Moyes future would be decided as much on the trading floor as the pitch & it looks like I'm going to be proved correct.....
comn man we spend less than Saints, Cardiff this season .. that speak loud on who to blame .. it is worst when the team needed reinvestment since ages and you expected the owners to support the new manager better .. nahhh we had to let teams fighting against relegation like Cardiff to outspend us .. just ridiculous
You bid for Bale, the money wasn't the issue. It was the ability of you CEO & Manager to spend it, that was the problem. Cardiff spent big in order to try & stay up btw, it's a one off level of spending & a stupid comparison
Exactly Tobes. They spent to stay up. Its the one and only time they have, or probably ever will outspend us. Under a competent manager we would of spent vast sums more trying to sort out the issues we have.
He now faces the possibility that this window they might be reluctant to back him, if they now have a fear that he might not be the right man. & given results of late, that's surely a possibility? & compounded by the fact that his only buy so far, has been total mince in a United shirt
