Give it a decade and they'll both be battling it out with United for the Premier League!Haah and replacing them in northern premier league will be team part-owned by class of '92, Salford City FC. What are the chances of rivalry developing between these 2 in future?
Haah...Give it a decade and they'll both be battling it out with United for the Premier League!
An admiration of the proficiency of accountants – or something like that. Or the pleasure (but Christ, what a pleasure) in pointing out that the world is pretty mean and cold at the end of the day. I honestly don't know. But belated congrats to FC – well done!
I find that concept a bit odd, I struggle to understand the idea of supporting a club and not wanting them to achieve their full potential, it tends to go hand in hand with any professional sport.
Depends what you want football to be. For me it's a community, it's about getting together with your mates on a Saturday. "Anyone who knows anything about football knows that football is not about football."
You really can't. If you make League 1 then in time you'll go all the way. My club have got to the Conference twice now and been relegated twice. That's the first serious test for a fans owned club.
Ah, OK. While writing that I was wondering if league 1 is still step too big because there are some relatively bigger clubs there. I thought though that difference between conference and league 2 might not be much.
Yeah, gap between the top half of the Conference and League 2 isn't too bad. But the gap between Conference National and Conference North is huge and is a big struggle for fans owned clubs without relatively wealthy financial backers. FCUM should do well at Conference North level, would expect a promotion within 2-3 years, but once they get into the Conf National it'll be a big challenge for them.
Great stuff. I went to see them when visiting Manchester about a month ago and I absolutely loved it. Superb support and surprisingly good quality on the game as well.
I know a few lads from Ireland that always come over when United are playing on the Sunday.
Certainly from the kind of debt that can be loaded on to a club be an investor or would be sugar daddy. No fat business man, sat sweating in his American office, looking at spread sheets and the potential profit they could line their own pockets with can load debt on to the club.

Absolutely man. The Glazers had our best interests at heart by gettin us so much in debt. They wanted to make us bigger & more of a global franchise, than we were. I applaud them for what they have done & i'm delighted that our debt is way onto being zero & that they can roll around in beds of dollars.
Cool man & congrats also.. Traitors
