Kuijt looked no better than Ruud at all today and looked even less likely to score. RvN has been a very convenient scapegoat for much deeper attacking problems in the Dutch side - a 4-3-3 with two of the attacking three being touchline hogging selfish wingers and none of the middle three getting forward anywhere near enough leaves your centre-forward incredibly isolated, so it's hardly surprising when he doesn't do much. It's not like Ruud was missing chances or losing possession massively, he just couldn't get into the game because of the Dutch system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaaaave Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BBB: <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Manchester United is in talks with financial institutions to borrow up to £500m against the value of its future ticket sales at the club's giant Old Trafford stadium. It is believed that Royal Bank of Scotland is drawing up a plan that would see the club securitise future match-day revenues over a 25-year period. The Edinburgh-based bank recently undertook a similar deal for Arsenal FC. Avram Glazer The new funds could be used by Man Utd to replace the £540m of more expensive debt used by the US-based Glazer family to fund its controversial £800m takeover of the club last year. Man Utd is expecting revenues of £3m per match this year following the expansion of Old Trafford's capacity to 76,000. Any securitisation deal would take into account gate receipts as well as associated revenues such as food and drink sales. A banker with links to the Glazers said: "Securitisation of future ticket sales is being looked at very closely. But Man Utd's management is very comfortable with its existing financial structure. However, anything that reduces the cost of capital is clearly a good thing." It is understood that the plans being worked on by RBS are among a number of other financial restructuring proposals being considered by the Glazers. It is believed that JP Morgan, the US investment bank, is also looking at restructuring plans on behalf of the family. A spokesman for Manchester United said: "It's perfectly natural that one would seek to refinance and restructure after a buyout." Currently, the Glazers owe £275m in so-called payment-in-kind notes to US-based hedge funds at interest rates of up to 20 per cent. The hedge funds, including Citadel Investment Group in Chicago and New York-based Perry Capital, have the right to seize the Glazer family's stake should Man Utd fail to repay the debt in the next four years. The club also has a £265m loan with JP Morgan secured against its assets, including players such as Wayne Rooney. If Man Utd opts for the securitisation option, it will be following in the footsteps of Arsenal, one of the club's arch rivals. The North London club is to raise £260m in the first public sale of asset-backed debt by a European football team. Arsenal has secured a low interest rate on the bond product of just 5.28 per cent, making the debt relatively cheap. However, it is uncertain whether Man Utd could issue a securitised bond on such good rates while retaining any of its existing debt. Even if the club swapped its existing debt for a £500m loan secured against future ticket sales, analysts estimate it could still be faced with annual repayments of about £35m once associated loan costs are taken into account. Arsenal will use its money to repay a loan that financed its new 60,000-seater Emirates stadium and save about £1.2m on annual interest. However, Man Utd fans will fear that the club is following the same route that led Leeds United to the brink of financial collapse. Leeds borrowed heavily against future income as well as the value of its players but then struggled to keep up with repayments when the club's playing fortunes suffered a downturn. The club had to sell its best players and was relegated from the Premier League. However, Man Utd remains the financial powerhouse of English football and the Glazers believe they can keep its debt in check and still invest in new players. Paul Crawford, director of European structured finance at Fitch, the credit agency, said: "The key factor for Arsenal was that it had no other debt. Manchester United could replicate the deal… but it needs stability of income." </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE> btw, I have absolutely no confidence any of you can actually understand this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Jimlad Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I’ve not read anything else from today but it looks like the “go to a replay and have Scholes back in the league†crowd got their wish so I assume they’re happy. Not too disappointed that we’re going to a replay though since it was a good cup-tie today. Not sure Fergie will necessarily see it that way since his decision not to make a change says to me that he wanted to try and get through at the first attempt. Thought we played some really nice stuff at times and even with the two avoidable goals it was our best performance for a while as a team. Just nice to see some carefree attacking football. Pity about the 10 minutes of slackness either side of HT but it happens. At least it was the cup not the league. Hoping that nobody got any injuries today as well. Anyway… TK: Two great stops in the first half but looked shaky on crosses and set-pieces. GN: Got forward more than he has been doing and did okay against Downing. NV: More assured than a couple of his recent performances have been. Cracking tackle to deny Boateng in the second half. RF: Started shakily against Yakubu I thought but got better as the game went on. Was concerned when he went down before HT. GH: Possibly his best game this season. Really pleased with his work today. CR: Thrived in the atmosphere, really good threat, took the penalty expertly. MC: Had a really good spell following their second goal and demanded the ball more regularly in the absence of Scholes which I thought was a good thing. Actually saw more today of the kind of Carrick I expect to see post-Scholes. Did well breaking up play at times as well. JOS: Tried way too many sweeping balls to the wings for my liking but generally did okay overall. Didn’t do anything markedly dangerous which is always a plus. RG: Thought it was his best game for ages. Looked fresh, full of thrust when running with the ball, and did well picking his passes as well. WR: Took his goal well but didn’t do anything else spectacular. Obviously could do much better but with us out of striking options at the minute I’ll be content if all we get from him is goals between now and the end of the season. I don’t think we’ll get anything else out of him at this point to be honest. He can get back into the groove properly next season. HL: Cracking movement, closing down & build-up play in the first half, faded in the second as his numerous runs took their toll. Can’t criticise him really. Pity he has to go but its been a privilege to get to watch him in our shirt. Would be easy to pick Ronaldo but I’m just really pleased with these two… MOM: Ryan Giggs 2ND: Gabby Heinze Pretty clear IMO but… AFFG#1: TK AFFG#2: Rio Ferdinand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSB Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 ****. Really, ****. Mighty Fletch ftw all the way. Hopefully he'll get a bit more action in the future on the back of this. Now hopefully Milan over Bayern for the semis. Reckon Milan, Kaka aside, are either off colour (Gilardino) or too old (the defence). Plus Inzaghi's a sheit. Fancy us over them, while Bayern could be reet tricky. Either way, not sure what to make of a Chavski/Bindippers final. Reckon we'd have a better chance over the dippers but you just know they'd summon the '05 jamminess while we put in a performance akin to the FA Cup final of the same year and get dicked on in ET/pens. On to the doom: *VDS still butterfingers pretty much every time the ball came his way. *Homohair still breathing. Seriously, the game is over and the useless tit can't even make a five yard pass. Not fit to wear the shirt. *Addendum to the above - why not give a run out to Ding Dong/Eagles/Big Craig? Evra, fair enough, could possibly use the run out, but considering the tie was dead and our Kier should be, might as well have given Dong and Chris a dabble. Especially Dong, since a) he's an attacker, and we're lacking, and b) last kick Kieran impression and playing against opponents who don't care aside, Dong looked fairly useful in the Euro friendly of death. Pace, intelligent pass selection and movement, decent range of passing, not being KR23... Why not give him a chance? *Fergie will blatantly come out saying "Well that's what happens when we come out and attack teams", before unveiling his innovative 9-1-0 formation in the first leg of the semi. *Kieran Richardson still has a contract. Not good enough. We should pay some filler club £5m to take him off our hands and dedicate #23 to the fans or summat. He makes Jon Greening look a credible Champions League winner ffs. But yeah, cracking night, ubergiddyness and all that. Expect I'll be much less doomridden once it all sinks in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
