With Utd and City being such big draws why not just 'Greater Manchester United?' Manchester is always saying how using the city's name brings advantages to the entire metropolitan area (even though many indicators suggest the huge majority of them go to the city and any ill effects are normally...

But you have two governing bodies - the PL and EFL. PL is there to look after the interests of its members, not the EFL's. To distribute more cash down would be then doing something disadvantageous to their own members.

I know I saw at some stage a note to the accounts stating management fees were being paid to SISU. Probably weren't the most recent but I'm absolutely certain I saw it because it took me by surprise.

But is sitting there accruing compound interest instead. They are payable and could be called in at any time the owners choose - we're relying on them not doing so. It's like having a bomb in the corner and saying "it's fine, it's not going to go off". And then putting a hand grenade next to it...

Boris chancers?

Would be a nice roundness to it. Charles I - end of monarchy Charles II - reformation of monarchy Charles III - end of monarchy. So until Charles IV turns up we'd be a republic. To be honest, I think Charles is likely to get the question asked - he likes having his opinion on stuff, esp...

Well it's a bit of both really. They're using the transfer fees but there is also an annual loss that needs to be covered by SISU (which they do stand to gain from long term)

But he could sell the club for its worth AND also the debt he's owed

Just noticed J Burroughs is LB!

It's not artifical though - we may not be PAYING them right now but they are still PAYABLE (and the longer we don't pay them the more interest accrues owed by the club to SISU).

Because one of their other companies is loaning the club money with a decent interest rate on?

Pay a reduced rent that the club felt was affordable and fair rather than total rent strike. Shows you're not trying to financial distress the organisation and creating 'bad blood' plus very much leaves it in the council/ACL's ballpark - do they then negotiate or take legal action to obtain the...

I agree about the sale but the club is not operating within it's means - there is still a loss annually being covered by the master fund (with interest attached)

But what he wrote is completely true. Constitutionally the queen has final say and veto - it's just she would never use it because it would be the end of the monarchy when civil war started. The HoL can strike down anything the HoC does, but again it rarely does so because it brings into focus...

It does feel a bit like that. It'd got to a stage they couldn't let both carry on extending so I think they had to choose one as a 'warning shot across the bows of the other'. Bolton would've caused bigger waves, which long term might have been better but would've put them more in the firing...

I agree to some extent, but there's a difference between a genuine shooting chance and shooting speculatively. I agree with the first, disagree with the second. You can say each shot is a chance to score, but if it's very unlikely to go in it's also giving the ball away to the opposition which...

I agree - when they turned up it was with their usual MO of quick turnaround for a profit. They came in, bought a few players that they expected would get us promoted and they could sell high with the PL status we'd achieved (possibly using some to buy the stadium via the agreement which they...

If Max doesn't come into the squad for Baka there must be more too it. I think it's something MR has taken from Fergie - if anyone questions your authority get them out. Maybe Max had the audacity to question his tactics of bringing him on to play as left inside forward.

How about dunking, burning and slavery of morris dancers?
