Selling our newly appointed club captain at this stage, particularly with our lack of cover, would confirm that SISU have no plan beyond finding enough cash to see them through the next short term crisis. On the other hand, telling Leeds to shove their offer would give us all reason to hope...

Why does it have no legal basis? I've been involved in the sale and purchase of many companies and I can't remember a single occasion where "the bid" was made in a formal way until a price had been agreed in principle.

A lot I agree with there, but I have worries over the last paragraph. When KD took over as Chairman, he said that the new Board had worked hard to persuade SISU to put in the extra money required to avoid administration. We now understand that that funding came from the sale of ProZone. I'm...

But didn't it sound great echoing around Wembley during extra time!!

Renewed yesterday to celebrate AT's appointment!

Slightly concerned by the "high calibre candidates" statement. I just hope that the Board aren't "turned" by a "big name". You know the sort of thing - played in a world cup quarter final, managed Man City to a top six position, got Sunderland promoted, regular on BBC TV football...

Couldn't have put it better.

Marshall was excellent for us and 36 is OK for a keeper. Not exactly planning for the future, but could do a lot worse.

I think the whole "not for sale" thing is just posturing. KD said that it took a lot of persuading to get SISU to put in the £8m to stop the club going into receivership. So we're supposed to believe that they were very close to letting it go into receivership, but wouldn't accept money for...

Love it!! Looks just like the one on my coffee mug - still going strong from a birthday present in 1972!

I think the phrase I'm looking for is "Oh bugger"!

We are told that SISU put £8m into the club last week. If they were to sell every single player who is contracted to us, do you really think it would raise that much? So for a "cut and run" policy, they'd have been better off walking away last week and letting the club go into administration...

Heard the United fans singing "where were you when you were sh1t" to the Chelsea fans last night. Wonder if they'd like to see my Sky Blue Magic video. It's got highlights from Cov at Old Trafford in the season that Man Utd were relegated. Oddly there are huge gaps in the Stretford End - mind...

Give him a chance - if he's in the US it's still early! Be interesting to see if he does reply though.....

I agree with Scam - almost more important than the formation itself was the fluidity of the way it was played. We've been used to a VERY rigid set up with players seemingly unable to drift away from their allotted few yards of turf. On Saturday, the movement was better than I can remember for...

Do you mean the first game in the all seater stadium, with Steve Whitton scoring for us (I think...). If so, Best and Charlton had been gone from United for about a decade by then. The big win against "that" United team was in about '68 when Chris Cattlin made his debut marking Best. I think...

No - the closest I've ever come to that is putting my head in my hands and muttering an expletive to myself. I've never tried valium. Maybe I'm just high on life..............:confused::confused:

The embargo was in place because we hadn't filed our accounts. My guess is that the auditors wouldn't sign the accounts, unqualified, without SISU's confirmation of further financial support. Given that SISU have now put in the extra £7m (or £8m, depending on which version you've heard) I'd...

To be honest, I thought we saw more technical nous in the way AT set the team up against Watford than we've seen for the last couple of years.

Don't want to get carried away too quickly but maybe there are other parallels. Whilst Cyrille was the big name player at the club, Don McKay had the team playing high balls to him, which was not his strength. George & John changed the style so that the ball was played to his feet and as a...
