There is no club in the world that stirs the emotions like Manchester United.

A club formed from humble beginnings has risen, through the tragedy of Munich, the glory of 1968 and on to the ultimate achievement of the incomparable Treble, to its current position as the world’s greatest football club.

The United story has been told before - but never with such passion, such depth, such stunning imagery, and certainly never on such an extraordinary scale.

10,000x3,000?

That's one way to try to make £30,000,000!

Won't work, of course.

If they hurry up we can buy an overrated and overpriced midfielder from France for those money.

 

[MThomas]

it will work.

Sounds like a plan.

Of course we'll be decried from certain sectors for being so callous and commercial.

Whereas before we were decried for getting into debt.

 

[Man Utd Mrs]

There's another book by Harold Riley and signed by him and SAF that is due out.
That one is only £2500!

You could do us a favour and buy a few of them as toilet roll?

 

[Retirantmobs]

If i had £3k i would not spend it on a book.

 

[kf]

There's enough celeb "fans" for whom £3K is nothing who'll buy it. They'll probably be auctioned at Christie's in 10 years time for £30K. The content looks pretty good but I don't think the missus would be too happy if I bought one...

This pic's good though:

You're all worse than the newbies!

 

[Marching]

I might get one of these....seems to be a good investment.

They did one on Ali (GOAT..Greatest of all Time) and it doubled in value.

Future titles include Arsenal, Barca and Ferrari.

Here you go Weaste mate....

Thank you Marching!

That thread was about Solskjaer, which veered onto the topic of the book.

This is a proper topic about the book.

This is the real book thread.

So you're just rabbiting on about something silly, Weastie my dear.

Two short planks.

And two short planks from the newbie that doesn't have a clue how to use a forum!

I'm not surprised.

You're acting like a dipshit Weaste.

Presumably we are supposed to read every thread no matter what the title line is just in case a thread entitled "Weaste's Momma Smells Like Cheese" gets into a conversation on 18th century architecture on page 19?

I'm glad you get such amusement out of your nationality, Mr. America.

The very first one has been brought for 250 Thousand by some rich bloke with more money the sense

You probably have more money than sense. Though you wouldn't need to be a rich bloke for that.

 

[Bearded but no genius]

Its Ern's time of the month.

 

[Lazlo Woodbine]

Although the book sounds nice, not very many people can justify £3000, even for a very special occasion.
If they had marketed a £300 book, that was good but not as ridiculous. Many more people would buy them. A lot more people would justify it or get as a gift. Probably make more money that way.

 

[Redfighter]

10,000x3,000?

Won't work, of course.

No because it's gonna have cost some money to produce, but no more than £500 me thinks for each copy. So they're making a tidy profit. I there was a free season ticket with it I'd consider it. Oh, and a first team contract.

 

[Lazlo Woodbine]

That would be a good marketing strategy, every copy sold gets a training session with the 1st team squad. Wouldn't eat into profits at all and would entice quite a few people to do it. Throw in a stadium tour and other minor perks and you could do well.

 

[Shane B]

It's embarassing, and I had a sad mentle image of Fergie and Bobby sat signing them, as if doing lines at school, with Glazer pacing up and down infront of them waving a headmaster's cane in the air.

 

[heffa]

If they hurry up we can buy an overrated and overpriced midfielder from France for those money.

Or we could buy 2 class midfielders that can bring the title back to United.

 

[wancolos]

I can't be arsed to read through the whole thread so this may have been mentioned before but the book number 1 will be auctioned and the money the get inn from that one will go to UNICEF. They excpet to get £250.000 for it and it will be signed by former players as well as new ones.

 

[Shane B]

Or we could buy 2 class midfielders that can bring the title back to United.

Or... it could go straight into Glazer's arse pocket, (obviously once SAF and Bobby had took their cut)
