Rodgers was Spurs first choice to replace Harry and had apparently agreed a contract with Spurs when Liverpool came in and off he went. Capello was second choice but proved to be too expensive. Enter AVB. The jury's out but it's early days for all the new managers in the Premiership.

not from the likes of you. RVP hands in transfer request at old stratford stating he wants to win things.

New season, same old defensive injury crisis.

Fair play to the Toffees, they played to their strengths and our weakness.

I'm surprised Rooney wasn't hauled off, he looked a lot less sharp than Welbeck.

Looking forward to first home game against Fulham, when I'm sure RVP will start...

I think 'shocking' is a bit OTT. They are notorious poor starters, but that is something Moyes has tried to address by changing their pre-season. They were the first club to start pre-season training, but were also given a week off. I thought they ran out of steam in the last 20mins, and got through on andrenalin and a terrific home support...it was their cup final afterall ;-)

I'm surprised anybody, let alone Soros would want to invest in Utd knowing the terms of the float.

In theory the Glazers could sell 89.99% of the club and still retain board control.

The only good thing about the IPO was that it now gives the club a value to potential buyers...

No they were just better and more hungry for the wim than the pampered spoilt brats of Man Ure. Vidic looked woeful.

Hasn't taken you long to get disgruntled PD. No wonder UDT doesn't post much on this thread when people write silly childish comments like that.


Anyone want a Nani? I've had enough of him. Evra past his best I'm afraid. Apart from that Everton were excellent.

I wonder why Berbi was on the bench last night and not Hernandez. Fergie alluded to something in a pre match interview but I didn't quite catch it. Anyone know?

Soros is smart enough not to spunk his cash on rubbish like football for anything other than short term gain

I did say 'in theory' Woody ;-)

There are two types of shares, Class A and Class B.

Class B shares, which only the Glazers own, are supposed to carry 10 times the voting power (control) of the Class A shares (which were offered at the IPO). Maybe my maths is askew, but I'm sure the Glazers can easily relenquish more than 50% of the capital worth of the club to investors, yet still maintain overall control. Factor in that Class A shares don't even pay a dividend, and to a novice like me it's amazing that anyone was interested in buying them...perhaps some of the City boys amongst us would like to throw some light on it?


From the net...


For % club ownership, 8,333,333 shares are being sold by the Glazers, 8,333,334 being sold by United and a potential 16,000,000 to be awarded to employees. All Class A (1 vote compared to 10 for Class B ).


Total shares are: Class A: 39,685,700; Class B: 124,000,000.


After IPO:

Glazers own all Class B and 58% (assuming 2.5m extra shares aren't sold) of Class A shares. Works out at 98.7% of voting power.

I have to say I couldn't see the point myself.

If they don't carry a say so and they don't pay a dividend then, apart from the fuzzy warm sensation that you're chucking good money at bad, ie allowing the club to carry attract top players by paying overinflated wages, thus keeping wags in the sort of clothing UDT buys at half the price until someone is photographed in them (Brad Pitt exception to the rule), I just can't see why anyone would want to buy any.

It's not like football club shares have a good history of soaring in value is it?!

Soros had made billions by going short when the UK government withdrew from the ERM on black wednesday.


So maybe we're about to see a demise of man utd similar to that of Rangers. Conference league football, RD?

For simplistic thinking traders then that's true but complicated trading strategies often involves short selling and owning shares to hedge against losses.

I don't think so, like it or not the debt is serviceable, the recent Chevrolet shirt sponsorship covers a huge chunk of it, it's just annoying to the fans to see this money being siphoned off instead of being invested in players and the ground...someone will buy Utd for a decent price when the Glazers decide to fook off, it's just getting rid of the fookers that's the problem...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
