Green and gold ‘til the club is sold…………….again

Written by Steve Johnson

I have noticed a hell of a lot of green and gold scarves around Manchester lately

The colours apparently represent those of the inaugural club which Manchester united grew out of – Newton Heath FC

It is a new mass movement by united fans to oust the current glazier regime

The evil glazier regime who bought the majority of shares in a plc-They had no right!

The evil glazier regime who have been in charge during part of Manchester United’s most successful period in their entire history-How dare they!

The evil glazer regime whose ultimate plan involves united winning everything-KILL THEM!

The whole situation makes me laugh

I’m sorry but you reap what you sow

If united hadn’t become a plc all those years ago in 1991, and got all that lovely shareholder cash, would they have become the force they are today?

NO!

How do you think the current ‘best player on the planet’ Rooney was bought, Ronaldo too, Berbaflop, Veron, Hargreaves, Nani, Ferdinand-all multi million pound players paid for with this money

So if you want to boast about United’s success (which is all they do to other fans who have been foolish enough to support another club) accept that it costs money

And if you have to pay for it via debt then so be it!

Would any united fan seriously swap the amount of success they have had under the glazier regime for a few seasons with no trophies?

Would they have took one less champions league, 3 less titles, 3 less carling cups and the all rest for fan ownership

NO!

Sometimes you can’t have it all in this world

United fans may be used to having it all but do they really think that having 40 fans on the board all with their own thoughts and opinions on everything, from who should manage after Fergie to how much a pie costs, will be ultimately beneficial?

40 fans, who will not only have had to put a shed load of their own cash into the club, but borrow too! (yes they won’t be debt free-they will just have fans getting in debt on their behalf)

The Cheesily named ‘red knights’ are saying they are doing it for the good of the club, but men with this kind of money are not just doing it for a laugh, surely they will want some serious input?

These guys will be used to being at the top of the tree wherever they have been for most of their lives-now they all have 1/40^th of a say

I thought Keith Harris only had Orville to answer to

So to put it bluntly I think the green and gold brigade should shut up and let whatever happens happen

If they really want the club to be sold just don’t go, hit them where it really hurts via their major profit maker-ticket sales, but is that happening?

NO!

During a recent match I visited one of the OT exec suites and guess what I saw……. ‘green and gold’

You could not make it up! Idiots paying top whack for tickets and bad food but wearing the protest colours

……Talk about oxymorons! These guys can’t even grasp the basic concept

Lemmings spring to mind!

So to sum it up and put it bluntly, It seems to me that it’s just something to do when you are bored of winning everything and have nothing else to worry about

It is nice to know that some fans still believe in getting back to the roots of football but plc’s and Premiership money have made united what they are today

I guarantee if you asked any united fan what would they rather have;

The success gained from the point when MUFC became publicly owned in 1991?

Or take your chances at being owned by the fans during that period?

I know what they all would choose

Accept your fate United fans, you owe many happy years of success and trophies to Manchester united plc and all that comes with it

….even the glazers!

Am I being thick here? Where are they this week? “United United not for sale United not for sale” or “Green and gold til we’re sold”?
Its no wonder the knobheads are confused, all marching round with their Norwich scarves on top of the new Nike AIG shirt, tracksuit top and managers coat while carrying 6 bags from the megastore. Do you really think the glaziers or Nike give a stuff about the green and gold as long as the tourists keep flocking in spending their hard earned at the megastore. I don’t know what an oxymoron is but its a great word and I’m sure its very apt. I prefer knobheads but probably won’t get away with that. On another note, how glad are you that we didn’t buy that Tevez bloke, all my knobhead, ooops sorry, United fan mates keep telling me he runs about a lot but doesn’t score enough…. What? We did buy him? He’s scoring for fun every week? Now I’m as confused as the knobheads!!! CTID

oxymoron

1657, from Gk. oxymoron, noun use of neut. of oxymoros (adj.) “pointedly foolish,” from oxys “sharp” (see acrid) + moros “stupid.” Rhetorical figure by which contradictory terms are conjoined so as to give point to the statement or expression; the word itself is an illustration of the thing. Now often used loosely to mean “contradiction in terms.”

SSSSHHHHH! Kindly don’t point out what idiots they all are for protesting, I’m enjoying the site of them tearing themselves apart too much.

LGHU!

I have been saying this about the millions that was pumped into this club in the early 90´s funded the success Manchester United have had today. But blinkered Man U fans cannot understand this concept! its the Supporters that made their money, sell out stadiums every week etc etc etc……….
Utter tosh! If Man United wasn´t made a PLC in 91, there is no way on gods earth that they would have all the silverware they have today. Players come to clubs with prestige and success, it is a common pre conception that if a club doesnt make Champions League football, then they will have no chance of attracting world class players. We dont see players like Ribery, Messi, Rooney all clambering to join Bolton Wanderers (no offence intended to Bolton), and here is an old and proud club with a history richer than the Sultan of Brunei!
Manchester United Supporters who are critical of the wages that Manchester City pay players like Tevez and commenting that he is a mercenary need to look at their own playing staff. Would Rooney have gone to United if they had constant mid table mediocrity? I think not! All players are mercenaries and players who go to clubs with consistant success rather than staying with their club purely for the fact they have a better chance of winning trophies are the worst kind of Mercenary. At least Carlos Tevez is willing to contribute to the up and coming history of the club.
Yes City were lucky, we could have missed out to Liverpool, Newcastle and a miriad of other clubs that were up for grabs when Sheik Mansour decided to buy. He even could have pumped his Vast fortune into United. so for that we must count our blessings. but it will always stick in the throats which are wrapped with the hypocritical Green and Gold scarves that flock into Old Trafford every Saturday.
If they want to stand there, drinking overpriced drinks, eating overpriced food paying for overpriced programmes watching overpriced players in an overpricd stadium, and then spend their hard earned cash on overpriced tat from the megastore before they catch their overpriced train tickets back to their overpriced suburban home in Essex, Leicester, Glasgow, Belfast or Kowloon city, then I will be happy to stand in silence and listen to their moaning about the evil Glazers.
As far as I am concerned the Glazers are the best thing to happen to Old Trafford since it was bombed in World War 2.
Long may they Reign! Love the Glazers, Hate United!

Nick on Wed, 31st Mar 2010 11:56 pm

Not to mention the morons who wear green and yellow scarves paired with this season’s AIG sponsored (i.e. U.S. government-owned) shirts. Idiots.

Gotta laugh at all these bitters. Can’t wait until sheik whatever his face is gets bored and leaves you to rot again. He’ll realise like robinho did that he got the club wrong

Dario on Thu, 1st Apr 2010 9:18 am

Great post James – have to correct you all though… surely those scarves are YELLOW and green?

Erm, he’s called Steve

IN REPLY TO BITTERS

City are Sheik’s Club and they are willing to pay money towards re developing the are arounf the ground. You see City are just the building block, the eventual pulling attraction to the surrounding area. The Sheiks have vast business knowledge of area, land and property development. Because eventually City will become a mega club, a mega brand, and the Sheiks are quickly moving along evrything in order to make that happen. And believe me, there is nothing bitter about that! The Development processes that are in place show a LONG TERM COMMITTMENT to the club. So Go back to your hypocritical, pathetic, sad Norwich colours.

Besides, what happens in 10 years IF and i repeat IF the sheiks decide to sell up…….. Club with no debt, ample of top quality assets to sell to prevent from being in debt for the future, top quality training facilities, redeveloped ground, a selling price which can double sheiks money, Unthinkable trophies in the cabinet, a club to be proud of, a club for the people, a club for the working class people…Real Mancunians!
