Lee...I don't know if you're aware of Villa's £70+ debt?
How are you going to clear that with no success on the field? People need to look a bit closer to home.
As for United's debt, this year was a record profit making year.
The debts were record breaking too, but the difference being is that the debt is being serviced.
If things go badly wrong there are still people queuing up to buy United.


My understanding: the only reason people (potential buyers) aren't forcing the issue at the moment is because the price is too high. If things went tits up, the price would also go tits up.

United are constantly criticised, usually by bitter jealous fans.
Fergie time, Cockney reds etc.
I've heard it all, people don't seem to understand our success isn't like Chelsea's or (potentially City's) - we were a PTC in the years we were successful in the 90s, up until 2005...
Buying players like Ole and Cantona and the best criticism some people can come up with is ****ney reds
People also don't understand with success, it brings a global fanbase.
