Seems like Rio and Vidic will get reunited for the first time in 4 months today. Fingers crossed!

@Fred Well the simple fact then is you are an idiot if you are willing to risk the club completly just for a personal hated towards the Glazers. It's fine bit liking the Glazers ownership but that doesn't mean you should be letting yourself be used like Harris and the Red knights want. And certainly fans shouldn't be trying to drive the Glazers unless there's something actually better on the table and the simple fact is ATM there isn't. All we have are some people pipe dreams and other peoples empty promises that once they have Fan backing they go back on one by one.

@Fred

Your a cunt, no fucking about, your a cunt. You'd rather United got relegated just to get rid of the Glazers and gain another bunch of parasites. It wouldn't help anyway wanker. United in 1975-76 in the old second division had a full house every match, unlike previous seasons. United fans love a bit of adversity and we stick together when the going gets tough as the green and yellow proves. But getting relegated just to appease your hatred of Americans is fucking stupid. The Glazers will never sell United for less than they bought it for, thats common sense, something you've got fuck all of you rusty badgers cock. So its one parasite for another with the a larger debt. Fucking clever, why don't you piss off and support your FC United, your no United fan your just a poor mans city fan.

If Harris wants a club why not buy FC United, cheaper and if he wants wantaway United fans the place is full up with them. No one is stopping him and his Red Knights from investing wisely safely and surely to climb the league tables and finally make to the premier league and gun for glory.

Were not the Red Knights mate, were the Red Devils so fuck off.

Im so pissed off with the fans on here and their utter stupidity, I'm off. I've enjoyed at times talking to some of you but for the most part the hard core manc fans are so old school manc. Its fucking boring listening to rediculous anti american sentiment all the time, by people who couldn't manage the cash flow of a fucking paper round. Pretending they were bred with the Comunist Manifesto under one arm and cap in the other. For fuck sake, grow up and stop being the hated of England that was supposed to be the dippers job.
I've always maintained that United is the best club, best history, best manager and most of the best players BUT we have by no means the best fans. Back stabbing, sellouts to bullshit rhetoric. Harris says hes a United fan, and you believe him, he may be may not be, hes a prawn sandwich muncher when it suits you all to call him that, then hes a hero for telling you to help fold United.
Well fuck you lot, therepublikofmancunia is in my eyes atleast no longer the voice of United fans and no doubt others will fucking leave to. United fans are split. All I know is Im going to the games and if tickets are spare so are all my mates and their families. If you drop your season tickets then I'll snap them up for my kids.

Wakey - i would be very dissapointed if your allegations turns out to be true.So harris wants to take advantage of our situation to bulk up his pockets ? Then he should just fuck off with his red knights and let MUST do the job.

@RED SAM

Obviously we will never know for certain what Harris is on to get the deal done as he isn't going to reveal that but if you are the point person negotiating a takeover then not only will you be being paid for doing so but there will also be perfomance bonuses in the deal. One of these will no doubt be on the deal going through and as I have said there is probally a max figure and then milestones below that with specific bonuses for getting the fee that low.

TBH I wouldn't have a problem with Harris even getting these bonuses as he would just be doing his job BUT its the way he is using us to seemingly help make himself and his clients more money. He is just acting in a completly unresonable manner with the way he initial appeals to the pipe dreams and the concerns of most fans and then follows it up with calls to action BUT when he is challenged on certain promoises he admits they were empty before shutting the line of questioning down

@Corea

Hi mate. A warm up today will be ideal for them before they tussle with Hesky and Agbonlahor. And I am sure that Wes and Jonny are sick at the sight of each other. :P

I think its better to take jonny evans out of the spotlight for a few games. If vida and rio can stay fit until the end of season, then i would go with them 2 in the run - in.

@Wakey:

1) they think it will take 1.5billion to buy the club (that’s 30mill each just before admin and restructure fees)

- I heard it was closer to £1.2bn

2) they won’t clear the debts

- Surely they will, providing they don't borrow money to finance the deal then all debt will be written off when it's taken over (the debt will be taken out of the £1.2bn, the Glazers will get the rest).

3) the club won’t be fan owned

- It'll be the closest it could get (with the people being involved been Utd supporters), it's never going to be floated back onto the stock market.

4) these red knights are London money men and a few multi millionaires such as Fred Done so they don’t have and won’t be intrested in splahing 30mill and not get good returns

- Nobody really knows who is actually involved in this potential 'buy out'. I see no reason why they wouldn't be able to get good returns? The club would be a healthy investment for anyone once the debt is gone.

5) the buy out will be done in the same way as Lerner at villa. Villa have a 70mill loan (the cost of the buyout) from one of Lerners companies which has to be paid back with intrest. So what Harris is saying is that the red knights want to load a further 1.5billion debt on the club ontop of the 0.5billion bond

- Once again i'm not sure where you get your facts from for such assumptions.

6) that he wants us to damage our team and the club just to force the Glazers out and save the red knights some money thus increasing the amount they can each take. It’s safe to assume that Harris as the point man is actually on a bonus for getting the club for less than their top price.

- He wants us to? Has this not already been spoken about on this site multiple times already about how we can force the Glazers out? Whilst doing this will decrease the value of the club (which will be a bonus to them) it'll also increase the chance of getting a new buyer (which will be a bonus to us).

______________________________

All this talk about 4-5-1 formation, so many people saying we should play this really does emphasise how our midfield is seriously lacking. If we had enough quality in midfield we should comfortably be able to play 4-4-2 against teams such as Everton. The only teams we should be playing 4-5-1 against is top top teams (Chelsea, Arsenal etc) away.

I'm looking forward to tonight, could do with a good win to build up confidence again. Rio and Vidic back will be a huge bonus if it happens, Anderson back as well to freshen things up.

To add to the takeover point, I see no point in the takeover at all unless the debt was going to be written off. They'd essentially be in the same position as the Glazers if they were to borrow to buy the club.

@ Goat in a Utd Shirt. Well Said!
I thought this thread/blog was about Berbatov not the bloody Glazers. Every time you come on here Glazer this Glazer that.
Every Game, Fans from all over the country and the world wearing green and Gold Hats, scarves and shirts freshly bought from the streets outside for 7 quid a throw not knowing what the hell its all about or signifies. Its called 'The Bandwagon'.
I too will not boycott the club weather I agree with the owners or not. I 've supported this club since birth and will not do anything to harm it as I feel a boycott will.
Rival fans want us to boycott hoping it will add further problems to our situation and force Utd into offloading the best players because we need the cashflow, stop the cashflow then we are in Deep Shit I also will be renewing my season ticket as I want to chant and chear on my team and will be trying to pick another up for next season for my Nephew. There are always other fans to fill the seats ,74+ thousand fans a games worth and during a resession now that aint bad.
