This whole ***** business with us making no signings does make you wonder. If all it takes for a successful football club (or any sport for that matter) to be destroyed is a lunatic millionare to borrow hundreds of millions of pounds so he/she can then land that debt on the club itself then any club is open to this. I do get the feeling that there won't be any signings this year because we simply cannot afford it.

We have gone from the richest and best run football club in the world to a club with astronomical debts in the matter of a couple of years. And the ironic thing is that it's not as if we've spent without regard on players, the debt just sort of 'magically' appeared.

I worry that the ageing and depleted squad we have will not be able to maintain the form necessary to keep the expected revenue coming in and that the club will suffer as a consequence ala Leeds. So... Nationwide One here we come in a couple of years.

I do hope I am wrong about all this, and that this bl**dy press conference will begin soon to announce our 15 new signings icon_biggrin.gif but that's not very realistic. Realistically, ManU's premiership years are soon to be over.

someone really needs to get this deleted before Mika reads it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Come on, he's clearly a Mika alias... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Who is Mika?

I'm just a realistic supporter of a club that used to be the best... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Apart from the debt "magically" appearing maybe? I think we all saw that one coming.

I don;t think its too much a case of not being able to afford signings as much as its a case of some players don't want to coem to a club where you know the manager is probably only going to be there for another season.

i just dont think you can win it with kids anymore ! not with Roman around.

and i also dont think you give youth much of a chance anymore,

spector agood young lad, played 2 prem games in the space of 48 hours i think(?) was excellent and no where to be seen after, yeea yeaa i know he went to chartlon but it didn't seem to do him much good did it?

and i can't help but think that somewhere like Arsenal, somebody like piqu would of been braking into the first team but he has no chance of doing that at Manchester united not with so many defenders at the club.

If the price is £5m, it's a comedy fee in completely the opposite direction to what we would have expected icon_frown.gif

yeah i know mate i feel dirty honestly. theres few players in football i dislike more than richardson but i get a feeling he will a) play a fair bit this season and b) not actually be sh*t when doing so.

miller was quite good then, ive never had a big problem with him as hes been shipped out after being guff which i quite like to see.

I still don't see that it's stupid at all but anyway, would you have been happier had we signed him permanently? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well that's the thing. We could either sign him permanently for more than half of the proposed Senna fee, in the knowledge that Foster's coming back next summer anyway and he could be surplus to requirements, or we could get him for a season at the expense of two guys who weren't going to make it and then decide at the end of next season if he's needed any longer.

It's going to be Hargreaves or nobody. United will certainly not be able to agree on a fee for someone else in the remaining time.

SERIOUSLY what was Fergie thinking

does he actually want us to ever have a chance at the Premiership again?

reckon a couple of years back some Chelsea spies infiltrated and replaced our SAF with an evil clone to bring us down from the inside. it's the only thing that makes sense.

Only when they're winning icon_wink.gif

SO unfair to blame CQ, who employs him?

Good to see no-one is getting too carried away - you'll still win the group, but I think your lack of a strong midfield/reserve striker's is why Chelsea will probably begin to edge out a lead in the league. If you keep everyone fit could be a fun race though.

Agree with what James has said, the ticket office has been a joke for about 2 years now. Someone who has applied to the majority of away games should get a ticket before someone who is a season ticket holder and not applied for any away games, utter farce.

I don't always apply for away games, thats why I apply and hope for the best or get them off a 'contact'.

ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud > anyone, ever

mixed feelings about our game. game was there to be won, replay is a bit of a pain in the arse logistically and, on a personal level, financially, but the first half saw easily our best performance since spurs away, some of the football was fantastic and there were several standout performances. and ofc the other major upside is getting scholesy back for blackburn. koosh made two cracking saves but he's a bit of a nightmare aerially and cost us a goal at a really crucial moment. very much in the t-ho mould really, when we could do with a vdg-type as backup. gabi had his best game of the season by far i thought, did well going forward and there were some excellent blocks at the back. ronnie was ace, jos was ace for 45 minutes, seemed to get carried away though and forgot to keep things simple and remember his limitations. giggsy was useful, and henke was fffffffb. more positives than negatives all in all.

motm: gabi heinze

2nd: henrik larsson

gutted henrik's leaving, been desperately hoping something would happen to change his mind. been a privilege to have him here, he's made a great contribution which i think many have underestimated because he's not scored a stack of goals. he better f**king give me an autograph on tuesday though icon_mad.gif

bus and tram. got the train on monday, there's one direct train from salford crescent to navi road which gets in at 8.44 and as i found out, it takes longer than 16 minutes to walk from the station to the training centre /O\ no return journey possible with that as well so it's not really an option anyway.

so got the bus into town and then the met today. if the job paid more and was something i was genuinely interested in (rather than something that looks ok but isn't really what i wanted to do, and pays relative peanuts) i'd put up with the hassle definitely. few other things have p*ssed me off as well though - salary isn't as much as i was told it would be, i was misled by the recruitment guy about weekend working (when it's compulsory/optional etc) and there's no pay review until november '08. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

will be worse when the trams go off as well. well worth looking around.
