The trouble with Utd's debt is it's not the club in trouble but the money grabbing bastards from America who borrowed the money against the club to get their slimed hands on it. The FA should be ashamed that they left Utd in the hands of these leeches.
Where is Dorus these days? I'll go check. Bl00dy hell! In the last 3 seasons since he left, 20 appearances for Wolves (14 league games, 6 cups) and 6 for Forest (only 1 in the league and that was last Saturday). He's now 33 and in his prime for a goalkeeper. Tragic.
as the market continues to overheat, with a top player now commanding £300k a week, as mad as it sounds, £100k in this day and age isn't a fortune to the clubs of that stature. i'm sure most don't have a problem with a club paying on performance, but to pay young players £50k+ a week for potential is ridiculous. though with the money in todays game wages will only continue to go up and up.
How United was bought is telling of how banks are responsible for the financial crisis. Glazier: I want £550M Bank: Why? Glazier: I am going to buy Man Utd Bank: What will you put towards it? Glazier: I'll sell a few malls and put in £250M Bank: You own malls? Why not just use your cash Glazier: Didn't you hear? We are leaking cash. Bank: So you don't have the cash right now? Glazier: Nope. But don't worry, if we have trouble we will sell more malls! Bank: But you said they are leaking cash, what if nobody buys them? Glazier: Well, here is the best bit. You give us cash to buy Man Utd out of the stock market, we will sell a failing company's assets to prop the loan a little bit. We'll try and sell more if it gets really bad. If that fails we will sell bonds giving people no power at all including you the bank if you buy them, and even if that fails we will put the club back on the stock market! How great is that?! Bank: I can't see any problems happening with this one, we are sold! Here is half a billion pound sterling! Or in short here is the Facebook version... Zuckerburg: Can I have a Billion dollars? Bank: Sure, we can give you a million. Zuckerburg: No, a billion. One thousand million. Bank: Jesus H Christ, random bloke still in University. Why? Zuckerburg: Wait for it... Facebook! Bank: Dont know what that is, but sounds awesome! Here's a billion!
