Oh where to start with this lot? Blimey.
..despite our on field performances have been as woefully as they have been for over half a decade, that we are still in such a strong position as we are now, is a testiment as to how well the financial aspect of the club is being run. It bucks the trend of every other big club - This is incredible.
Here is a link you should read. You can clearly see that we were significantly ahead of the competition in 2002/3 when the Glazers took over. We now sit 3rd on the income list. While this is not exactly awful, it does quite clearly justify me in calling your BS.
...and yet beleive they would choose to not pay off the clubs debt with its own revenue despite it supposedly increasing profitability in the long term - Firstly, it's only the clubs debt because they lumbered us with it to line their own pockets. Secondly, of course the debt should be paid off. The sooner the better. Where did I say otherwise?
And a chance of the club going bust? The sheikhs and oligarchs our fanbase seems to be wanking over as of late have far more risk attached than the Glazers. - What risk would that be? Maybe if they went totally crazy, making spending commitments which we couldn't sustain on our own should they suddenly leave? Well it would be a possibility, as with any owner. Fortunately, there are still some concerned fans of this club who keep a very close eye on what happens, and would I'm sure be very vocal should that possibility arise. I'm equally sure that there would be a whole new group of apologists lining up to tell them that their concerns are misplaced and that they should just stfu and be grateful for what they have given us.
For what it's worth though, I don't want a sugar daddy owner either. I just want us to be able to keep, and spend, all the vast amounts of money that we, as the biggest club in the world, generate for ourselves.
Let me clarify. Im not a fan of the glazers, I'm apathetic towards their ownership, and certainly beleive the management of the footballing aspect of the club, the part that matters most to fans, has left a lot to be desired. But that doesn't mean I'll blindly agree with all the bullshit being spewed about how they're crippling the club financially - So you ARE happy for them the take roughly 10% of our income(not profit, income) for themselves, even though they are doing a bad job running the club. Okay, I don't understand that, but we're all different.
