how do you feel about americans owning an english team?

Question

do you think theyll ruin it

Answer 1

Not a great deal we can do about it, unless we can afford to buy them out, well I can dream

Answer 2

To be absolutely honest i couldn't care less. Man u is a name only, the real team of Manchester plays in blue. I'm a Middlesbrough fan and have seen how fickle Man U is, i have been to Old Trafford several times, listen to the accents, to the so called Man U fans, you have German, Irish Scottish lots of Japanese or Asian tourists as well as scousers cockneys geordies and rarely a manc accent. i was there when we got whupped 3-0 in the fa cup a few seasons ago, no joke a guy comes up to me, he has the shirt the cap, the scarf jacket even a pair of man u jeans with cantona and jaap stam printed on the thighs. shows me a ticket and asks in a broad cockney accent where he is supposed to go....... i mean the guy had never been to old trafford in his life, that is so typical of man u, inside the ground 2000 boro fans managed to out sing and create more atmosphere than 65000 so call man u fans, what a joke Man u is., mark it here, when Ferguson leaves... Man U will be no more than an average premiership team scraping into a eufa cup slot. i think 3-4 seasons arsenal tottenham Chelsea and Liverpool will be the big 4,

Answer 3

I'm a Villa fan and Ive heard we might be getting an offer from an American billionaire (Cleveland Browns owner) to buy us out, I'm all for it as if something don't happen soon we are going to get relegated and i would rather the club be in a bit of debt than playing in the championship. To be honest even though United fans don't like the Glazers they don't seem to be doing to bad a job, and if they were in the position that we are when the takeover was happening they wouldn't of been moaning.

Answer 4

It aint fair! What do the Glazers know about football!? They should stick to baseball. Honestly if we the ManU public were happy about the Glazers taking over Old Trafford, then why did the shares dip or why was FC United (the breakaway football team) created? I think they will seriously mess it up (even more than what they are doing at the moment)

Answer 5

Well, the only thing is see being bad about it is that it gives the sore-assed Brits something else to be sore-assed about. And by the way, we didn't invent the term "soccer" and we call our game football because the emphasis was on the kicking back when it got invented. Excuse us for actually evolving unlike the language butchers from across the Atlantic.

Answer 6

Millionaire Americans at Man Utd, or billionaire Russians at Chelsea. Same difference...they are just treating the clubs as playthings and quick investments.

They'll both clear off as soon as they get bored or start losing money.

Answer 7

It's all about the moolah the team can get them. Just a good 'investment'. Don't give a damn about the game, sentiments, tradition or anything else.

Let Man-U go another 2 seasons without a majoy trophy & you'll see where they stand!

BAD DEAL!

Answer 8

Ask Manchester United.

Answer 9

Malcolm Glazer doesn't know nothing about football, and look what happened to Manchester United.
or should I say Manchester Divided?

Answer 10

they dont stand a chance to own one, sorry!!! if they cant manage their own national team to at least get to semi-final level in the world cup competition, what makes you think that they will handle an english team?

Answer 11

whatever the given reason maybe, the underlying aim is US$$$$

so they will milk the team for all its worth, and don't give a damn about the team and their fans...oh sure there is the publicity stunt, feigned caring and concern, but ultimately is down to the big bucks

MU...do you all get it????
