They have kept quiet and are now trying to run the club as well as they can...im all for that...i might not of agreed with the debt aspect of things...but that's the risk you take being a PLC and i didnt see many new clubs being formed when THAT happened and the situation we have now was the potential danger.
But i know where people are coming from with the FC argument as well, and i fully support anything that wants to be run in the spirit of Manchester United F.C as it was known then.

Why does everyone keep harping on about "but thats what happens when you become a PLC"
The PLC made us no more open to a takeover than being a private company. If anything it made it harder.
Edwards was going to sell United anyhow. All he wanted was the right money, and had Micheal Knighton got his figures right, he would have done what Glazer has done.
THe club is for sale now, as long as the right money is put forward. Everyone has a price. Glazer found out what Coolmore wanted and he agreed to pay it. If someone comes along and offers the right money GLazer will sell up.
Being a PLC is not the reason United are in the shit with the debts. The reason is purely Glazer offered way more than he can afford, and he is expecting the fans to repay it. He could have done the same if the club was a private company.
