“The Red Knights remain committed to pursuing their efforts to try and help bring ownership of Manchester United to its supporters, and under a structure with materially less debt,” said a statement on behalf of the group. “As we have maintained however since news of our ambitions first emerged in March, we will only attempt to purchase the club at a sensible price, consistent with the long-term interests of the club. Persistent speculation in the media of inflated valuation aspirations has made our goals less attainable, as potential investors have strongly reinforced our views that we should not move forward at a price uneconomic for the future of the club.”
“MUST welcomes the statement from the Red Knights group that they remain determined and committed to achieving the ultimate aim of a supporter-owned club,” read a MUST statement today. “MUST also supports the Red Knights reinforcement of their position that they will not pay above fair value for Manchester United. This is in the best long term interests of Manchester United FC and its supporters. Rather than lining the Glazers pockets with yet more of our money, we want to invest instead in squad strengthening, stadium improvement, rewarding loyalty with fairer ticket prices and paying down the debt – not to mention the fact that if supporters are going to be able to afford a decent chunk of the shares in the second phase of the Red Knights takeover, then an inflated valuation will significantly impact on that. Haven’t the Glazers taken enough money off supporters already?”
Man Utd News 24/7
It will be a long battle to get the Glazers out – let’s just hang in there and be patient.
The club needs to be hit where it hurts if you want them out though
just my opinion but it hasn’t changed,they are and always were full of shit , sitting around jerking each other off fantasising , millionaires lunch club tossers, it’s been sold years ago,changed hands and isn’t for sale, so they get to look and feel just great with no risk of having to do anything real except ‘network’.
Goodness, it’s all going to the dogs!
All in all, not a great surprise.
Like a ‘wanna-be’ boy band, cool name, plenty of merchandise, no substance or end product.
Besides which, the economics of it say it ain’t happening, as has been said, no surprise.
Enjoy the football people ‘cos you have as much chance of affecting ownership as the masses had of not getting screwed by the bank’s bail-out
Like it or not the spiv’s aint got the dough and never have had the dough so why does’nt every one put it to bed.
it’s not getting put to bed because the RedKnights are having fun playing games and the media love that shit, it’s only fans being strung along, makes me fking angry tbh
i didnt trust the red knights, they talked bollox at the start ,fergie to quit etc. . . and the more must pushed them on me the more i pulled away and made me wonder about must, I think they jumped on the red knights anti glazer ship to rope people into joining MUST – I dont trust anyone but the team sheet and the management at united .
Well said bah
Shower of shites are amatures they never had a hope and they just wanted to get their names in the papers.
looks like were stuck with those fuckers. cunts cunts cunts cunts.
Scott – do you really think a bid will ever happen?! I’m starting to feel this is the end of it – and they were never serious in the first place.
I’m starting to agree with GHTT
lip service. So what does that statement says in a nutshell……..Nothing.
Still, according to figures we paid of *some* debt and have £95m in the bank? Much as I hate the Glazers, it’s not all bad….
We could be scouse….
Great news. Glad the glazers have seen this lot off.
I’d have prefer this bunch to tell the truth and said ‘I’m out’. They’ve abandoned the bid team and told the investors it isn’t going to happen, so why come out with this mealy mouthed statement. They couldn’t raise the money and the business plan didn’t make sense. Thank god that’s over. Let’s get back to supporting the team.
What a load of bull shite that was, Jim O’neill and the rest of the RKs can do one, plonkers. If the Glaziers ever do sell up, it won’t be to this mob, more likely an Asian consortium, or the arabs.
I’m not sold on the Red Knights at all. Never was. I’m not a Glazer fan, but the RK group sounded a hell of a lot like a pyramid scheme and seem to leave the club in the same situation – Massive debt that needed servicing. THe only tangible difference was the names on the official letterhead.
SB
As for all the we cant afford anybody,brilliant I love it the more people believe it the less likely clubs,agents and the like will attempt to take us to the sports.
This is really off topic guys, but this is a request to Scot The Red. I would really like you to give this bit of news which has been posted by United Rant some coverage.
This is has pissed me off more than anything the Glazers and Gill have ever pulled off before. I can understand the need for money, but this is selling out the club’s soul. Gill has whored Man Utd to human rights abusers “of the worst kind”. Pitiful.
http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/aons-story-of-corruption-bribery-and-human-rights-abuse/
I got to say why are PPL commenting that it seems they are shocked the RK’s have not got so far, the RK’s hinted themselves that it was not totaly going to succeed they tried their best its hard when you have parasite owners who feel they can use united has a cash cow to use the clubs profits in any way has they like. I think if the RK’s took over they would have been great for the club, and that consortium could have changed the entire structure of how the club is run, they did not succeed so far so we move on, they were not full of BS it is there is not enough fans revolt to push the parasites out of the door.
But like I said I am not going to scare anyone what I am saying is it will take a wayne rooney transfer to one of the fascist or barca to really wake the heart of united’s supporters to boycot and that will really force the parasites out that is all I am saying.
Off topic but whats the latest on joe cole?
@Aig
his agent said this afternoon that he is going to arsenal that is what talk sport have said.
yeah…i read Harry Redknapp had fear that Joe Cole already agreed with other club…any chance it could be our club since he is free…and Joe Cole expensive or not was an establish premier league player…
@keano99
thanks mate.many people saying we are the favourites to snap him up.now arsenal??.that too despite the london rivalary
Having one owner is better than having 20 owners. I am not por Glazer but i think we should be patient. Rushing into anything without knowing clearly can be fatal for the club
Looks like Arsenal are signing Cole, that list SAF give gill is getting ever smaller, must be a match box.
Think Joe Cole has realised like any quality player worth his salt if you are going to play for any club it will be the best and that is United so discount rumour’s about Arsenal and the like.
I’m not surprised I think the parasites want £1.7-£2 billion to leave and they will saddle the debt onto the country even if someone places a bid. We’re fucked until Joel, Avram and Avi are dead lets use the money from the green and gold to high a team or mercenary hitmen to do the job.
Posted by Gotta hate tiny tears – I dont trust anyone but the team sheet and the management at united .
I so so agree with that sentance…
Not surprised that they are backing out. I haven’t been convinced by them so far.
what the fuck would joe cole want to go to them fairy fuckers for…the chance to work with SAF and the players and he looks to choose fucking arsenal..
I also just read the reports about Joe Cole and Arsenal. Are we sure that we were ever truly interested in him?
Thank fuck these mongs won’t be owning our club.
Well, considering he was on a bosman, i’d be surprised if we weren’t in for him. His wife wants to stay in London apparently.
fuck the red knights…I knew it since the season ended.
iv cme frm a land whr we fought more than 100 years against the britishers… and in the end we’ve succeeded …a land whr the britishers taught us cricket..and nw we kick their ass…
a land whr the passion of the citizens won us back our country….
now MANCHESTER UNITED is my life… and its bigger to me than my country lifting the world cup (cricket ,football…. or wtever).. wnat u all to KEEP THE FAITH.,,and BELIEVE.
we will be victorius.. ..its along battle..in the end Victory will be ours!!!!
GGMU!.
GREEN AND GOLD till they DIE , SELL or FOLD!!!
Maybe guti wont be a bad option after all. Will check players available on free from all the major leagues.that represents our best chance of signing someone i guess
@willierednut
Yeah mate, but other players are on a bosman too. Also, being on a Bosman meant that Fergie could openly talk about our interest in him, but he never did. That’s why I was a bit cautious about the reports linking Cole with United.
@costas
fergie never did that in owens case too.since he was misquoted on the berba transfer which lead to levy losing his head we have never confirmed our interest in any player.also cole is still contracted to chelsea
I’ve learned not to believe anything that has been reported until I see a player with the United shirt on his back running out for his debut!!
@AIG
Yes, but if a player is determined to leave and his contract is running out, there is nothing that their club can do about it. I don’t remember the details about Owen’s transfer but I remember it was sorted out pretty quickly. The Joe Cole thing has been talked about for a while now and Fergie’s had a lot more time on his hands if he wanted to say anything about it. And we did hear comments from SAF about our transfer activity in the last weeks. That we would go for young players.
@ Alex Is God
I mentioned Guti a few days ago but someone said he could be potentially disruptive in the dressing room…I don’t know too much about his antics at Madrid
but with teams like Blackburn and Galatasary being mentioned as a
possible destination for him I think he’d be grateful
to play for a club like United. That said, I’ve also mentioned Silva, Joe Cole, Van
Persie so I’m being a bit greedy!!!!!
Guys, don’t you think Rio speaks too much these days ?
Hey guys.
How about that. Evra is captain of les bleus. Good one pat
@costas
the owen deal was sorted out very quickly.however when this shock news was spreading i remember david gill saying ‘we have a policy of not commenting on transfers until we can confirm them’.also given our reluctance to spend big and fergies admiration for cole just like he had for owen i find it hard to believe we were not interested.
I don’t get all this hate towards the red knights? to me this is a better solution than keeping the Glazers or getting some Arab oil rats… The red knights might be rich fuckers, but if the asking price is too high even for them what else are they to do?……. we still have to press on with the green and gold, support the team and hope that the glazers sell up…
Corea – That was an England function Rio was talking at, i don’t see any problem, he is the captain after all.
@Corea
Hi mate. Yes he does. Just like most England players before a World Cup.
@AIG
Ok, I see why they wouldn’t comment. Here’s another thing I don’t understand. How do we know that Fergie admires Joe Cole? Again, that’s something that I feel has been a media creation more than anything. I am not saying that Fergie doesn’t feel he is a good player. Everyone admits that. But it takes more to attract Fergie’s interest.
@rai
thats ridiculous.i dont think he would be a disruptive influence.he has slowed down with regards to pace but has got some of the best defence splitting passes i have ever seen
i dont think we will sign someone like silva because we are not capable of competing with the likes of real if it comes to a bidding war unless the player wants to come to united like valencia when he rejected madrid because he wanted to join us
I think it’s down to his Mrs having just given birth and not wanting to relocate! If it was a pure footballing decision Cole would not go to a club about to sell their best player and captain, and one that has no real chance of winning any silverware. One day we’ll get a footballer who isn’t ruled by his Mrs!! Wanker!!
willierednut, Costas – still don’t like it.
Can’t hear Rooney speaking out though.
@costas
just like in owens case those are media reports. Nothing more to confirm that.
SAF does admire Cole, he tried to sign him when he was just a kid.
@AIG
Ok, we will know in the future then. Maybe Fergie will comment on it at some point. it’s probably stupid, but I don’t like hearing x player chose Arsenal or Chelsea over United when we were never interested. Unless there is some truth to the thing about his wife.
smoke and mirrors.guy’s sir alec is a master at it he’s coming.
Corea – Just out of interest, what did Rio say that you didn’t like?
United have been interested in a lot of players while they were kids. It doesn’t mean that they become the players that Ferguson wants for the club.
Again, I apologise to anyone who wants to see Cole at the club, but something doesn’t feel right to me about the whole ordeal.
So waiting it is then for the Red Knights. It was never going to be easy. Fans are slowly losing faith in them. As for Joe Cole, I expect him to end up at Arsenal – it doesn’t seem like we showed/are showing any interest. Don’t think he’s too bothered about the rivalry tbh, Chelsea refusing to offer him a new contract has probably upset/angered him. Probably can’t wait to leave so he can show his real worth. His wife wants to stay in London, his family is in London, so deciding to join a London club will not be surprising.
If it turns out we weren’t interested anyway, and Joe Cole joins Arsenal after a few days, it could mean we have our sights set on someone else this summer… Maybe. Although it’d be strange to know that Fergie decided against trying to lure a proven, quality player – on a free – who we could do with at the moment.
They become the players he would want, when he can get them for nothing lol. @Fze123 You’re probably right, bloody wifes.
Chelsea blog says he’s agreed a £110k per week 3 year deal.
Just how important is staying in London, if it means joining Fairy Princess FC and get spanked home and away by UTD and Chelsea, or for that matter any top quality side? Although he would be very helpful for Arsenal as he’s ENGLISH, cos some sort of regulation or other in the future is gonna leave them in a very fucked situation.
Costas – What you saying sorry for? it’s your opinion.
willierednut -during the last few days i just don’t bother to open the links. I am not talking about content, it is just about rate.
How does everyone feel about Arteta? I really am hoping Fergie brings someone in that can be the missing link between our forwards and our midfield.
Cole signs with Wenger ? Frenchman really worried about the new rule ? 110k per week ? World turned upside down.
Sanj – Arteta sounds good for me. For 10 mln especially.
With this London connection I wonder how it is we have Ferdinand,Carrick,Smalling,Berbatov who was out of there like a rat up a drainpipe and I know that Beckham was here as a boy but there are lot’s of London clubs he could have his pick from I don’t have the memory but I’m pretty sure there are numerous others.
hold on…. we have Rio as England captain, Evra as France captain, Park as Korea captain and Vidic as Serbia captain? am I right? – thats a lot of captains!
Corea – I agree, I think it will be a smart signing, both for the good of the team and financially. However, you know that Citeh will be sniffing around since their transfer strategy is to essentially go for anyone we are interested in. I read that Krasic turned down Citeh because he wanted to join a side of “greater tradition.” Classic.
@willierednut
Yes it is, but I have moaned quite a bit about the Joe Cole subject and I don’t want to repeat stuff all the time. And I don’t want to sound like I am dismissing players.
I liked your line about turning into Fergie players while they are free. You know what this means if Stevie Me’s contract ever runs out right?
Corea – Fair enough.
Arteta sounds like a good choice. We could do with his set pieces…
Costas – No way, not even on a free lol.
Rome Wasn’t built in two days.
This isn’t the end, we’ll fight on!
One way or another there gonna be some midfield shifting this season. If Cole signs with arsenal, It would make Goucuff free. The guys all round game isnt bad. I see him as a younger version of Arteta but a Better version . I’d like to see him Hargo / Fletherinho in midfield,
I would love to see Gourcuff at United as well, I read today that he has a release clause of only 21.8 mln. He is the closest thing to Zidane that will come out of France for a long time IMO. Granted he is nowhere near the talent of the great Zizou, but there are many similarities. He was fantastic for Bordeaux when they won Ligue 1.
Slim, I agree 100%. A midfield of Fletch, Hargreaves, and Gourcuff would be absolutely amazing.
I agree with Slim about the midfield needing a shake up. Whether it’s Anderson and Hargreaves coming back from injury and turning their United careers around, Gibson making an impact or signing a new player, something must be done. I feel that we’ve got as much from the Carrick-Fletcher partnership as we are going to get. Scholes will be there in some capacity of course, but we can’t just depend on him. Anyone knows how serious Cleverley’s injury is and when he is scheduled to come back? This pre season would have been a great opportunity to see where we stand with him.
Isn’t Gourcuff a bit lightweight ? he didn’t exactly shine at Milano. Not sure guys.
@Tony Starks
vidic is not serbia’s captain. its inter milan’s dejan stankovic. he didnt play the orher day when vida had to calm things down after crowd trouble. in his absence vidic was the skipper
@ Corea,
Not sure i’d say lightweight. The millan thing was a good experience for him, i think thats how he raised his game for french league.
@Costas
The midfield is like a land mine right now, dont envy SAF, but hey someones gotta make the tough decisions
Gourcuff is not a lightweight. He didn’t shine at Milan because he really never played consistently, constantly used as a substitute. He was absolutely brilliant for Bordeaux- Milan even wanted him to return, but Bordeaux met his buyout clause in the loan deal. If France wants any chance of doing well at the World Cup, he will play a huge role.
@ Sanj
At 21m thats a good bargain, No way Moyes will want to let Arteta for less than 10m. This transfer market is absolute shit
@Costas
I’ve never gotten the chance to see Cleverley play besides the pre-season friendlies, but I’ve heard quite a few reliable sources on RoM that have raved about him. If he is ready for the ‘next level’ so to speak, I’m all for it. Just hope Fergie remembers that you never win anything with kids.
Sanj – i surrender. didn’t follow Bordeaux games that much.
Costa there was hope he could if returned for the last 2 games but it never happened fir some ( SAF said so )reason . So I wouldn’t be too worried
Costas – I agree I have said this for a good while the midfield needs freshened up. king eric keeps saying carrick is fine but for me the midfield has gone stale and it needs new life breathed into that area, we have never real had a strong midfield since the treble winning season and we may not get that type of midfield in a snap I feel one midfield signing and it all could come together, or possebon could replace carrick and our midield four of possebon fletcher valencia nani could really stand up and take notice.
This is fkin brilliant!

LADY BOY
We’re gonna be hard – pushed to get any deals done before the world cup starts, looks like another long summer of speculation.
willierednut – I do not see anyone bought this summer to be honnest the transfermarket has become a waste of time and money
I think taking arteta would break everton fans…no i don’t think the owners will allow it.
@GHTT
Cheers. That’s good news I guess. Hopefully we will see him in pre season games. Lets see how much progress he made since he scored at OT last season during someone’s first time at the ground.
@Sanj
I’ve heard plenty of compliments too. And the Watford fans seemed to warm up a lot to him too. Could be a story similar to that of Jonny Evans and Sunderland.
@RTNK
Well I have agreed with King Eric that Carrick should stay at the club and hopefully the WC experience will do him some good. When he has played well, United have clicked well. However, once Hargo got injured and Ando failed to live up to expectations of 07-08, we found ourselves depending on Carrick, Fletcher and Scholes. I feel that this is a picture that has to change and bring more diversity in there. Not to mention that we can’t just depend on 3 first choice CMs if we are going to keep playing 4-5-1 next season. And hopefully some more competition will be the insentive that Carrick will need to start fighting.
Bad news Dippers offering Benitez a severance package. Very bad news. Keep Rafa at Liverpool!
what is a severance package?
Sorry i didnt give credit to who i got that news from – twitter stretford_end: Bad news folks, Dippers offering Benitez a severance package. Very bad news. Keep Rafa at Liverpool!
Oh no. KRAP.
GHTT – It’s ok, there bringing Souness back lol.
Ulster red
It means if they sack him they have to pay him a shit load but they can get a package of a less amount of money for him to just leave, he won’t get sacked and will get a good amount of money ,
@ RTNK, come on mate, just because Carrick had one shit season, you want Possebon to come in and take his place in the first team. You must be joking. Is Possebon capable of running the show against the likes of Roma and Inter, opponents which Carrick embarressed in the past. Carrick will come good next season, a kick up his backside will do. On his day he’s brilliant. He’s shown his class in his first season and onwards. We can’t lose faith in him after his contributions over the years. He hasn’t picked himself up after Rome, which is admittedly disappointing, because you’d expect a player of Utd’s stature to get over the defeat quickly and look to repent, but the defeat seemed to affect him the most. All we can hope for is for Fergie to have a talk with him before next season, or hope to see him performing well at the WC, which will do him wonders, and we’ll have a satisfied confident Carrick back at Carrington.
Willierednut
He won’t go near Liverpool unless they bring the backpass rule back to it’s 1980s ruling
GHTT
cheers, so both partys are happy…off to inter then id imagine
Noooooo, Benitez is gonna leave. FUCK. Ah well, Torres will leave. Gerrard will leave for the Special One. Another phase of Liverpool’s demise will be complete.
ulster red
not a bother mate , you could be well spot on with the inter rumor.
how funny is it, id be shit as a premiership manager eg. Rafa
how can i get that job due to the fact that id get sack ,get millions and walk into one of europes more respected sides in european football history
who do i email a cv to
Torres could well end up either at Chelsea or Shitty.
fze123
maybe he’s going to chelsea, that could be why he got his hair chopped off so Sir John Of Terry doesnt mount him thinking he’s a teammates misses come to watch there hubby training
@Fze123
The Roma game was one of his best, but Carrick has equally been embarassed on a number of occassion this season. Was mooting for a signing in my earlier post, who knows what’ll happen
but as Costas put it there needs to be a shake up in the midfield . I’ll admit, if he were moved on i’d welcome it, something needs to happen in there
@ghtt
LMAO
ghtt
he is still regarded around europe as a top coach, always linked with madrid, now inter are keen on him. you never know he might just be succsesfull in italy as he was in spain….
what top manager at this moment would want that liverpool job now? torres n gerrard surely wouldnt stay, reina aswell…goodnight liverpool f.c
you just havnt been knocked off yer perch, it has been burnt to a crisp..
oh no its more than a twitter thread its NEWS
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article7142868.ece
@ulster red
i never got the madrid links but your right he is always taught highly of. heres hoping liverpool see how highly rated he is and do everything they can to keep rafa at the pool
Rafa is a top manager when it comes to europe and tactics but when it comes to winning the league he is a joke. you can use tactics when playing against United, chelsea, barcelona. rafa has a very conservative approach even when he plays hull, brum etc. never seen United do that. Thats the main difference and thats why they never won the league under him. if he stays on he might lead the dippers to a few cup wins but wont lead them to a premier league win
the rafa story is on SSN now
@ GHTT, lol. Jokes aside, Torres joining the rents is a rather scary possibility.
@ Slim, you never know, the Carrick-of-old may reappear. Don’t think we’ll see similar performances of last season in 2010/2010.. After last season, you’d like to think that he looked back with regret and dismay, and is looking forward next season to fight back. Hargo and Ando will probably have more work to do to get back in the first team actually, moreso than Carrick, so it’s not all over for him. If we sold him this season, then we’d probably have to buy a replacement straightaway… Currently there isn’t anyone around who would be as vital to us as an inform Micheal Carrick.
OMG looks like Rafa’s getting the chop, Shit,Shit,Shit
SSN are running with the wafa story now, must be something in it.
So, Rafa’s is set to go. Sad day for football fans. I am comforted by the fact that he’s leaving knowing that even though it failed, the KRAP campaign had the full support of Utd fans, ironically. I reckon he’s touched. What’s more sad though, is that for the first time in 20 years, it won’t be Liverpool’s year next year. Torres, Gerrard, Reina and co will all go elsewhere, and where will Liverpool end then? Didn’t think their ship would sink any lower than it already had, but it looks like it’ll plunge into yet more darkness.
here’s hoping sticks to his contract and the dippers have to pay out his contract—- 16mill—- will fuck their spending for next year and will deffo have to sell Lady-boy and Stevie Me
They could get 35mill tor the girlie boy and 30mill for the father -to-be…..
and they are still in debt of 300mill ….
with no European Cup place and fan base deserting a sinking shit…..
NEXT YEAR THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Fucking hell ….roll on next year….
Hardly a big surprise anybody with an ounce of common sense could see through these fools. Im not against a takeover of the club but not by these muppets.
Sky sports says that the transfer budget for Pool this summer is 5 million. Ouch. Maybe that’s why they might be considering selling Stevie Me.
Guys can we start a petition to KRAP? We can’t lose him.
RE: Joe Cole
The reports are coming from “The Metro”. While there are ‘localised’ versions available its very much a London-centric paper. Its also basically a ‘cut down’ version of the Daily Mail who over the last few years have been trying to join the ‘gutter press’ group of papers. Infact they end up making The Sun, Mirror and even the Star look like newspapers of a high level of journalism and intergrity and that’s saying something.
They might have this story right but based on their track record I wouldn’t bet my house on it. Infact while there is this rumour coming out of London I have heard the same thing about us from some contacts. I wouldn’t actually be surprised if his agent is playing the clubs off against each other and that no contract has or will be signe until after the world cup
I can still remember the scousers coming here last year and gloating about Rafa signing the new 5 year contract. Making cure comments like that he signed until 201-4. Get it? How original. A year later they are looking to get rid of him in the worst way. At the time I did feel that the 4-1 might have been the worst thing that could have happened to them.
Would be silly to get into (too much) more debt to get rid of the glazers.
@ Costas
5 million transfer budget they can
poss have Bellemy back
@Rai
Lol, probably. But it could all go into the waiter’s severance package.
Costas – They’ll have £2m spare…they
can have David Bellion and still have spare cash
@ Costas, Hi mate hope you are well, I think the severance package question was asked earlier in this blog bye Ulster Red to GHHT, Me with my wicked sense of humour immediately thought it must be some one that is Circumsized.
But I guess not, its summit financial, lol.
On topic, anybody who actually believed thoses “Red Nights” were gonna deliver, please!
In my own simple way i think just its just an appetiser(starter), for the main menu, which is coming just the Chefs are working, cooking up the food to hook those Cunts and chase them out of United.
I cant reply, am awa to get some food in my belly fucking starving and drunk.
Ps keeping my head below the parapit, and no richochets either. lmao.
hi all
i think whether or not Red Knight and MUST succeed, for now they have brought several benefits to us. The biggest thing is, this issue has unified us more, and more United fans have made up their stance on this.
And this is going to be a long fight, and i hope the fans will prevail.
On the transfer rumors, i dont believe any of them, and i have full trust in SAF to do the best in this circumstances.
@Rai
Ha, I think that with 2 million they will buy Bellion’s right foot.
The severance package is around 3 million pounds. So they are giving 3 million pounds to the man that led them to a famous win at OT last season (that had them make t-shirts about it), just to get rid of him. Funny how life works.
Oh and it’s always a pleasure to see Fergie see off another rival…
Im undecided whether its good news or bad news that Rafas off. As long as the pool keep hold of Stevie Me and the spanish trap Im happy. Rafa realised he couldn’t do the job with those two there and no extra money and the possibility of the steps in the right direction to success can only be achieved if they sell those two retards. No new manager will want to manage without them two being there so you could say the only way for Liverpool is down.
I know Englands not going to do well in the world cup so atleast ill have a smile on my face knowing liverpools plight. With them its damned if you do damned if you don’t. tee hee.
Good news the FSW is off. atleast we wont have to hear to him saying quaaality again and again. apparently its good news for liverpool because there is a take over about to happen later in the summer and the new manager will be handed a decent transfer budget than the ridiculous 5 million budget and that way torres and gerrard will stay too
im sorry but did the radio say rafa ,if he gets sack, gets 60 or 16 million pound.
jose would love nothing more than to take over a club like liverpool play there bests hide there worsts and win the league for the first time in 20 years , so liverpool owners sack there manager after jose gets a new job.
in his first season he won the champions league but they ended 37 points off chelsea at the top, yet that season is seen as a fail for united by the media.
37 points = 12 wins + 1 draw less than the champions. Unreal.
I see rafa going the same way as grant going from portsmouth
first step sack the manager cause it looks like your doing something but the cracks run deep to gaping holes . . . liverpool are in mental trouble and as Costas said and SSN is also saying if they only have 5 million to spend what top manager will take that job. Zola send your CV to http://www.student-jobs.co.uk/job_application.aspx?jobid=27601 , You never know
question for people as ive to go to a meeting for about an hour so i was wondering who can answer it
since players name have been put on his offical jersey with his own number
which player had there name over the number 7,8 and 10 on the back
best law and charltons famous numbers
who had offical numbers 7 on the back 8 on there back and 10 on there back
rooney 8 rooney 10 but no rooney 7 for example
David beckham. he had 7 and 10. not sure about number 8 though
Has there been one player who has worn 7, 8 and 10? Rooney had 8 and 10 and as AIG said, Becks had 7 and 10. I don’t believe anyone has worn all 3. Maybe Beckham wore number 8 during a European game when we still didn’t have names for those?
@GHTT – Are you talking about just for United? If not then I think Owen has had all those numbers.
Other than that I guess Beckham is the only possible choice but I don’t remember him wearing number 8.
@AIG
How is it good news that FSW is off? It is a sad day for football. Remember all the hilarious memories we had with FSW?
@Moscow is my heaven
dont know about you but his post match press conferences used to get on my nerves. at least liverpool will be more competitive now and the league will be more than a 2 horse race. the comedy is now and will be provided by our dear neighbors. they are the ‘comedy club’ at least as long as gareth cock is there
Talking about free transfers, how about Adriano?
@willie
he will join Roma this summer. nearly a done deal

Some of the comments in that link were a bit naff, Cole hasn’t signed for Arsenal and apparently his agent met with United officials last week, watch this space.
My father-in-law goes to all Watfords games home & away & everytime we’ve spoke he has raved about Cleverly. By far the stand out player in the Championship last year & I for one cannot wait to see if this guy can mature & turn into the goal scoring midfielder we are currently crying out for!
The consortium known as the Red Knights, have only done what is credible, and at no time has this consortium offered any false hopes. They’ve only ever been truthfu.
At least they have taken the time to communicate with supporter groups like MUST, unlike the Glazer family.
If you feel down, perhaps saying why you feel this way, it can perhaps be addressed?
The statement by the consortium has come at the right time, with the right wording. At least now everyone can understand and grasp the situation.
Onwards and upwards.
@Bangladeshi Red
If you think they have been truthful and didn’t offer fans a false hope then you are either deluded or haven’t been paying attention.
From day 1 they have been making promises and claims and one by one they backtracked and changed their promises.
They are publicity whores looking to us us the fans to get them both press and potentially a bargain buy where they can make massive personal gains from it
@Rai
Actually if it comes out of the transfer budget its now -£1mill as apparently he held out for £6mill.
Ofc also you have to think that any new managers cost will have to come out of that, unless paying off Rafa and getting the new manager is why the transfer budget was only £5mill.
Mind you they are also surely going to have to pay off most of his back room team as well.
Wakey – You call the RKs publicity whores, and i would agree to a certain extent, but would you not agree that the Glaziers should come out of the shadows and engage with the supporter groups?
@willierednut
It would be good but the simple fact is from the off MUST and to a lesser extent IMUSA have made that unteniable with their actions from the off.
Fine both were against the takeover but when it went through rather than act like adults and look to try and work with the Glazers they have just attacked them constantly. They also have been in the habit of expressing opinions as fact and when it doesn’t pan out (like about 90% of their claims) they backtrack start a new attack and then work on recycling the claim as a new one.
What we really need as fans is a new Supporters group, one run by people who haven’t been corrupted by the desire for power and which takes a more balanced stance and accepts that the Glazers own the club BUT looks to work with the Glazers to try and find a solution to fans concerns that both sides could accept. Perhaps this kind of group would find the Glazers more willing to listen to them look to find a better balance
@Wakey you are imagining things in your mind mate “Desire for power” Publicity seeking whores”
Yes they were against it from the begining because it was wrong from the begining!
Lets face it Wakey you just want to discredit Must, as it will serve your purpose to divide the United attack on your beloved Glazer.
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE THOUSAND AND RISING upwards.
Come on True Reds believe this can be DONE.
