what are you? 12? jesus f***ing christ.. Good game by Liverpool and they played the majority of the game without their best two players. Could be this year Liverpool is challenging for the title for real. Don't know how long Agger is out, but when you replace Carragher for Agger even the back 4 starts looking good. United certainly have some issues to deal with, slightly concerned about Quieroz leaving and the impact it will have. VDS makes mistakes - lets just hope he bounces back, he is getting old.

Platinis comments are ridiculous and it is quite clear the man has spent most of his time on the football pitch than school. Debt is no big issue, most companies have different debts these days, it is a question if the debt burden is manageable or not => if it is not corporate law has procedures for that to protect the parties with stakes involved. It is not for some moron with 9 years in elementary school behind him to dictate how a company should be run i.e. using their own cash flow or external financing. As it is - Uniteds debt was generated by the take-over, i.e. the club is paying for them selfs and when it has managed to do so the Glaziers will reap the benefits. If United could use their profits them selfs instead of paying off this debt it would be even more successful and competitive.

the commentator here said the player lying outside the pitch counts => not offside.

what the hell are you on about - he was bought for 12 million and will be sold for what, 80 million? in addition to that he played a big part in United winning 2 league titles + 1 CL league = revenue. You do the maths - what is there to be pissed of about? It would be good business to sell the lad. There are players to replace him - as long as the defensive line with Vidic - Ferdinand + the defensive midfielders stays intact United will be ok. Just a question of developing the next Ronaldo...and Sir Alex is quite excellent at getting new talent to excel. In all seriousness, the premier league is the place to play football and you will see the top 4 english teams being highly successful in the CL in future as well - United is the top team in the top league - a transfer to Real Madrid is taking a step down. But from the clubs point of view - if the lad feels like leaving, take the money, big players have left before and United have remained successful.

Difficult to see why he would pay 18 million because some sporting tribunal with no understanding of labor law orders him to - seems like a ridiculous verdict and FIFA really needs to sort themselfs out. If nothing else - he will stop playing football and tell FIFA to f*** off - what are they going to do?

for 80m I don't think there is much of an issue - sell the lad. You get three excellent players for that. Might not be the best in the world - that is afterall Ronaldo, but f*** knows, he might get injured in August and never be the same player. Those are absolute fantasy transfer fees Madrid are talking about - don't know what United are stalling for, they should have sold him before the euro 2008 - now he might get injured and they get less. If he has decided to go, he will go in one or two years, might as well sell when his price is on the top.

think you need to put that in relation to have many wins you have in the first place..

are you talking about 42 m interest costs or debt repayment? amortization is a balance sheet item.

Alright, this conversation is finished from my partof view as this is simply ridiculous.

I'm sorry, but I actually have no idea what you are on about.

¨ FFS - you are ridiculous, please tell me you are a financial advisor or something. Take a look at the below paragraph: Manchester United have moved to the top of the UK's football financial league after reporting record turnover for 2006/07 of £245m ($481m), a 27% rise. That puts them ahead of the £200.8m reported by Arsenal for last season, but behind Real Madrid of Spain, whose turnover was £263m for the same period. Pre-tax profits rose 93% to £59.6m, as United won the Premier League. ___ The turnover is merely 245 millions and of that they haveve a pre-tax profit of nearly 60 million i.e. after financial items, that is f***ing amazing figures. It appears to be a highly profitable business and a money making machine. Been in audit quite a while and it certainely is rare to see a companies profit being 1/5 of its turnover. They clearly activate the transfers fees though.
