"Glazier puts money where his mouth is...."

I have a feeling a £790 million takeover is on the cards and United might just accept it.

Discuss.

mattribute, as much as I hate Manchester United if it wasn't for the Rio Ferdinand pay off and Alan Smith buying would we have a football club anymore? I mean Danny Pugh has been fantastic this season.

But it is football in general. I don't like Manchester United but I do like football. And Glazier would be crushing the football as a whole.

Why do Leeds hate Manchester Unite? It's to do with history. Leeds and Manchester United were the biggest clubs in the world during the 1960's/70's. FA Cup finals, Division One scraps and so forth. Glorious years for both clubs. The battle across the Pennines.

Hence the reason their is such a hatred between the two clubs. Then again that hatred is dumbing down over the years.

Which is why I hear OT singing 'We all hate Leeds and Leeds and Leeds' every other match?

Oh, and in today's Gossip Column on the BBC football page they have a rumour from the Daily Star - OT to be renamed The Nike Arena. What fantastic insight I have. :o(

That said, you don't really think about that kind of thing when you're 8 years old and you decide to start following a team...

Can I ask why Leeds fans hate Man U as much as they do?

Is it jealousy of some sort?

Because, quite frankly when Leeds supporters attempt to take the pish or moan, we just laugh it off and completely ignore it.

You 'support' Leeds, yet you want Yoo to be healthy?

ARE YOU SICK?

What a horrible chain of events. I hope Glazier ends up criticall ill for a few years and can't follow through with this.

Because it'd be another nail in the British football's coffin.

Well, that's a bit harsh.

Just because you're a public company doesn't mean you're asking to be taken over.

All the stupid Yoo fans, protesting

'Man Utd: Not for sale'

Then why the hell is it a PLC then, nobfases?

Yes, but he bought it for much less and with his own money.

Man Utd is entirely different.
