If Supporters United ever really gave a damn, they coulda quietly acquired shares over the years. Failure to do so has cost them. And if Glazer gets 90% of the outstanding shares, he'll be able to force those left to sell to him.
I wouldn't hope Juventus be destroyed. How many times do you need to post this? You have already about six times. We get it, you hope a football team burn to the ground because Chuck likes them. Glad to see you thought it through.
Er, Andy, when BSkyB tried to take over Man Utd, it was clear that the Glazer scenario had become a possibility. At that time, they shoulda tried to pool resources and increase their stake in the club to prevent such a thing from happening. Glazer's 28% and McManus and Magnier's 28% showed it was clear something was gonna happen soon. How long did they think the Irish barons would hang around to smile at Fergie when they hated his guts? How long would they hang around to support the very same fans who backed Fergie when they had that now crucial run-in over horse sperm?
Andy let's try and be reasonable here, Glazer's take over, like Abramovich's is not a good thing, not just for the club being taken over , (Chel$ki will find that out in the long term), but for football in general.
I hope he gets a cardiac arrest ASAP. He's old enough.

Give me some reasons here chxta. And this takeover is nothing like Abramovich at Chelsea.
Moreover, the lack of knowledge and ignorance on Glazer is laughable. Every single foreigner thinks he's some evil American man with no skills whatsoever. Joke frankly.
It has similarities, only that Abramovich had the better sense to come like a benlovent godfather, but at the end of it all, like Glazer, he is in this for hard profit.
And if that means doing stuff like raising prices on the tickets, he will do it!

From everything I've read about the man, he is a shrewd businessman. But I simply can't stomach the idea of someone who took his siblings to court over a will.
And besides, I am not exactly a guru of corporate history, but ATM I am hard pressed to find an example of a hostile take over that ended up well for the entity being swallowed, as ManU has just been.
@chxta, you damn skippy. Can anyone imagine the kind of mindset it takes to sue your own flesh and blood over your momma's will, and then make sure they got absolutely zilch?
It is Gaddafi Elnur, and they have never tried to become involved in the day to day running of the club. Think about it this way, the Gaddafi boy who wants to be a star could easily have been forced into our first team!
Malcolm Glazer has been implicated in connection with the 300 missing black children around London unaccounted for in the past several years. Police raided his Tampa home and discovered photographs and implements that link him to blood rituals performed to assist in his leveraged acquisition of a majority of Manchester United shares.
Malcolm was unavailable for comment... stay tuned as more demonic truths are revealed about this inhuman monster.
Next Glazer will buy out Trafalgar Square and set up the world's largest hotdog and funnel cake stand right in downtown London. What an evil American man he is.
