FC United of Manchester

no.
but the new club won't be tainted.

it did with AFC Wimbledon, as long as they get the backing. both support, and financially.

I admit that I don't really know much about this, but I honestly don't understand why Glazier was so determined to buy the club.  Why would you want to own a football club if owning it meant being hated by all the fans and potentially destroying it altogether?  When he started getting death threats and saw effigies of himself being hanged, did he not think 'hey, maybe this isn't such a good move after all'?  

Coz he knows they'll grow out of it when they start being successful next season?

Record season ticket sales, I heard somewhere this week.

I don't know where i stand with this. On paper this is a good move, but I support Manchester United, no other english club. I hate Glazer but i also hate the thought of abondoning the club i've supported since a kid.

Don't believe the hype. United have on average around 300-500 non-renewals per season, so why would that figure decrease so significantly after a disappointing season? Neither me nor my dad have renewed for next season, as it goes. And not because we haven't won anything, before any comedian comes out with that.

I won't stop supporting United, but I'm f*cked if I'm going to fund Glazer's takeover by giving him £500 of my money.

I wish it would happen to Birmingham City, I really hate them and their fans

But then it's you who loses out at the end of the day by not getting to see the matches. And of course Man Utd who do need the f*cking money to attempt to get them out of all this debt, of course.

I've supported them since I was a little kid but have never gotten to see them because the season ticket holders take up all the seats. it's really p*ssing me off how so many people are being such d*cks about it. Yes, Glazer's bought the club... but for the moment, it's still got the same manager, and the same players, with the only difference being the owner. It was obvious that the club itself didn't want Glazer to take over but what could they do about it??? Absolutely f*ck all is the answer. He bought the shares... and thats that. Fair enough, it's sh*t that he has, it's f*cked up manchester utd being the richest football club around, but they're still the same club underneath.
