If they get Apple they've seriously won the lottery. They'll never be short of money, they'll have no debt and Apple will want them right and forefront of every competition wearing their brand. They'll be bigger than Real, and I say that without any hyperbole whatsoever. And Apple will be able to put the whole cost of it all against tax for advertising expenses.

But I'm ****ing cancelling Apple+ and I'll ignore any calls family and friends make to me on apple phones. And I'll chop my apple tree down. :emoticon-0114-dull:

Hope they don't get bought by Ridgid Tools then.

I think Glazers, just like FSG know there is a recession around the corner and it will be a long time before the clubs are as valuable again in the future as they are now.

In a recession if you're wealthy the best way to make money is buying all the businesses that couldn't survive the recession but could have long term profitability.

Buy all your neighbours houses when they lose their jobs and charge them rent!

Spending 4 billion gobbling up little companies during the recession could earn you 20 billion when it ends.

4 billion locked in a football club won't earn you anything and will take years for club to be worth that again.

I think the owners realise now is their last chance to make mega profits until the next boom cycle.

All true, but United jumping in like that, days after Liverpool, implied a sense of urgency (panic) that they were about to miss a very huge, gold-plated bus that had our name on it. I don't think there's room on the top of that bus for both of us. (Is that enough mixed metaphors?). :emoticon-0143-smirk

I don't know. Apple would certainly mean they can float in any recession, but I doubt they would try buying the league like City. They're a business, not a charity.

I shudder to think of what United would have done with that extra $2bn that the Glazers fleeced from the club in interest payments and inflated salaries that they creamed off in their tenure. That's something Apple won't do, and it will all viably go towards players and their wages. And they'll have the tax-exempt money to re-build OT that'll be outside FFP, and they won't charge it to the club - unlike FSG.

Very true. United will eventually come back to the fore regardless... Just keep enjoying them being crap for now

I find it fascinating that whenever there's an event for which we have no explicatory evidence there's a polarisation of opinion - a division into the "there's probably a perfectly rational reason for it" and the "it's a complete implosion" camps.

We have had this before with players liking stuff etc
Nothing to stop Bellingham changing his mind
I really doubt he is coming to us
When City or Newcastle or PSG or Madrid offer 1 million a week he will be off to one of those clubs imho
