I fucking loathe United. I desperately want to see them do a Leeds.


No shit it's not going to happen. You don't need to point it out.

I get what you're saying, without a doubt, but seeing as they kept the scum and chavs off the top for years they have a use at least
 
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what we have to compete with. And people get upset we don't finish top 4.
United we're shit last season, have no champions league or even Europa league and have a long way to go to catch back up with city and even Chelsea.
Yet the strength of their brand a thanks to the proliferation of the premier league means they can command a fee like this.

Not saying they don't 'deserve' it. Those years of success were hard fought. But let's not kid ourselves we have more than a very outside chance each season of finishing above these clubs

Bullshit. Money doesnt make a team....we spent 110M last summer and looked like fucking Kidderminster Harriers

As I have said many times Man United are still the biggest club in Britain, they took £1 billion of debt/interest and through size alone managed to support it when any other team even RM would have fallen.

The Glazer debt has severly damaged United as otherwise they would have had many hundred of millions more to spend on players over the last decade than what they did but with this deal United will be in a position again to spend like City or Chelsea (although unlike City or Chelsea entirely self-funded not sugar daddies) with debt almost cleared they can go and buy for 50 even 80 million on any player they want.

Of course with Van Gaal as well United could go through a rapid rebuilding, top 4 as you say Jimmy will be nigh on impossible unless Poch is a genius or we find 2-3 Bale quality players. The debt is going, Moyes is gone and Van Gaal is here, Bugger!
