What would it take for the Glazers to win you over?

afrocentricity · 9th February 2010, 03:34

With all the Glazer shite going on and the rising dissatisfaction I'd just like to know what it would take for Mr Lucky Charm and his entourage to win you over?

Serious question...

PeteReDevil · 9th February 2010, 03:36

sell the club

afrocentricity · 9th February 2010, 03:38

Plastic surgery, for starters. They are the ugliest family on the face of the Earth.

I find it very upsetting.

Sir Matt · 9th February 2010, 03:41

Sell the club to the fans.

Getting his unlimited petro-dollars on board and leaving the Shitty ship to sink would be THE biggest laugh ever

It was a hypothetical question.

I don't know that he would sell to the "Red Knights" but that would be ideal. Hopefully, it would eventually become like Barcelona though I don't know how much I like the "democratic" clubs. It sounds great, but the idiocy of many fans could negatively affect the club. I don't want a president campaigning for votes with a list of players he promises to buy the way Madrid and Barca do. We really need stable leadership that doesn't shift according to results. If we did, would Fergie have made it this far? Of course not.

those are my thoughts too, but does it have to be that way?

Clear the debts with their own money.

Another Glazer discussion thread!

Find a cure for cancer, or emasculate Elvis. Either would do.

mjs020294 · 9th February 2010, 05:44

Dead simple, sell the Buccaneers and pay the loans off. The Glazers are decent owners, they just don't have enough money to own to sports teams. They don't get involved in football affairs, neither do they make/take much out of their teams. They are practically invisible owners and the only bad thing about them is the debt we are carrying.

Personally I would take the Glazers over the Redknights if there was no debt involved.

Spot on.

I really don't mind the Glazers per se, they keep their noses out of the things where they aren't needed, letting Fergie and Gill handle the running of the club. Far better in that regard than...well, just about every other owner that has come along over the last 7 or 8 years.

The only problem, and it is a HUGE problem, is the debt that they put on us. If they paid most of the debts off and bought it down to managable levels (probably by selling their NFL team), I'd be more than happy to give them a fresh start. Oh, and fixing the ridiculous ticketing system. Not so much the general price which doesn't seem too excessive compared to other English teams, but not being able to opt out of Carling Cup games and such.

Getting rid of the debt.

Mitch Conor · 9th February 2010, 09:23

sell the Bucs, use the money gained from the sale to pay of the PIK debts (which technically is their debt, not United's) and a decent portion of the Bond issue.

I'd be happy enough with that, to be honest.

Clear down all the debt
Speak to fans groups
Voluntary Cup scheme
Reduce my ST to £30 a match no matter what competition
Set up a legitimate site where ST holders can sell their tickets to members
Ensure adequate money is available for transfers
Build loyalty into final applications

What money? You're having a laugh. They barely scraped the £250 million together to buy in the first place, let alone another £750 million.

Nope. It really is that simple

Even then I doubt we'd never trust them.

According to this, they are worth $1.1bil.

Doubt that will happen as they are quite profitable.

That plus £5k a week to me and I'm happy.

Woodzy · 9th February 2010, 14:50

Rename us to the 'Manchester Devils Soccer Franchise.'

Sell the naming rights to Old Trafford. "Coca Cola Stadium" would be perfect.

We'd be such a cool club then.

In all seriousness. They can't win us over, they need to fuck off, simple as that.

(although signing Messi would give me a hard on)

Serious question...

If they fucked off.

afrocentricity · 9th February 2010, 15:18

Interesting, so clearing the debt would go along way towards winning most of you over. Thats a no brainer but looking at the Glazer long term plan this won't happen for another 10-20 years.

Was expecting a page full of one liners ranging from 'Die!' to 'Die slowly!' to be honest...

I understand the Glazers don't really liaise with the main fan groups, so who do they talk to? and if it's no one, then how is that beneficial?

I'm happy for them to die quite quickly, with relatively little pain.
