metadigital Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Noo...! *sobs* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bit of a soccer fan, Launch? Man Utd is the team that the rest of the world supports, very few supporters in England. What I found interesting was: Mr Glazer is now 18% short of the 75% of shares he needs for the offer to go unconditional - essentially for the ownership of the club to be secured. 'Aggressive' If he gets 75% plus one share, United could be delisted from the stock exchange and Mr Glazer could transfer his debt onto the club. So he will soon be able to take the publicly listed company off the stock market! It'll be his little toy. Thant's truly mad. Money makes the world go 'round...

Baley Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Screw U Man U, your time is over!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey Man U is a great club ,stop bashing it..dammit..you're just jelous because they won so many trophies the past years Man,I really hope something changes,I don't want the club to be bought
Darth Launch Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Hmm... well considering Man Utd are my local team (yeesh, never thought I'd describe them that way) plus I've had a season ticket with them since I could, well walk, I'd say I was bit of a FOOTBALL fan. DL P.S. Please people, don't make me stress how the game's called FOOTBALL and not SOCCER... [color=gray][i]OO-TINI![/i][/color]

Baley Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Chelsea is a good team overall,but they're no Man U There are only 2 other british teams I like:Liverpool and Newcastle U Why is Man U being sold ...isn't it the richest club in the world?

It's just him diversifying into a new market, but staying with the same business model. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Baley Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 I don't want an American to buy the club..does he even know anything about the game? God dammit,I hope they aren't gonna call it Man U Soccer club ..that sounds horrible Save Man U!

Baley Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 She's British..she's from Manchester And the Neo Tokyo thingie is a reference from Akira
Darth Flatus Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 did you ask permission from launch to reveal her details? EDIT: edit all you want but i know the truth and this isnt the first time you've been too revealing.
Baley Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 What details? " Yes Flatus you know ...I bow down to your might At least I don't delete my posts to make others look bad
SteveThaiBinh Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 I think the worry is that Glazer has borrowed heavily to buy shares in Manchester United, and now the club will have to pay off the debt (with interest). It hardly improves the financial situation of the club. Capitalism is very strange sometimes. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)

Actually I didn't see the "Neo" prefix until just before I wrote that last post. did you ask permission from launch to reveal her details? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're talking about the text under the avatar, like I am, aren't you?

Darth Launch Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 *chooses to ignore Baley's mess as has little choice otherwise* Well, actually I was never a fan of David Beckham *shudder* and I definitely have yet to see what difference Wayne Rooney makes, as I am not too impressed considering the hype surrounding him... so no, no cute curtains or bedsheets! My favourite Utd player is in fact Solskjaer. He's most definitely fangirl's first love (it all seems so long ago...) But only ever had a life size poster of him on the wall... *ahem* Yes, fangirl eagerly awaits his return from injury... DL P.S. Yes, my 'location' is another dedication to my anime obsession as well as my name P.P.S. If I did live in Tokyo, what would have been the point of having season tickets?

(I was going to say your English was very good for a second language!) Season Tickets: well, I've heard of fans doing weirder stuff. (I have somefriends from New Zealand who are probably bigger Man U fans than Baley.) You might have been sharing them with a pool of other fans, and coming over for big games ... I try to make as few assumptions about people as I can. If you are from Manchester, I thought you would support Man City. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
