Man United Not For Sale.

I think by now the whole football world should know of the events that have taken shape regarding Manchester United and it's takeover by some leprechaun looking person who goes by the name of Malcolm Glazier. Many people have expressed their disappointment as a club whom many have loved and supported for most if not all their lives have suddenly been stolen from them by some American tycoon who probably thinks that he is above all those who have put in so much dedication, time and money into making Man United one of the greatest clubs in the world. I myself as a Manchester United fan of 15 years am a little taken back by this, and am very disappointed.

I do feel that Malcolm Glazier has every right to pursue his ambitions whatever they may be with Man United, but taking control over a club in which he has no affiliations with in the first place just pisses me off. I always believed that a football club should always belong to the community that surrounds it. The people that make it what it is and gives it it's identity. The passion, love and support for a club cannot be rivaled or bought. Thinking that people are stupid when he claims to be an avid fan of the club when he has never... not once attended a game or shown any kind of support for the club is just an insult to those who are.. The money is certainly there to be made, but so is the possibility of leading the club into ruin.

Some might argue that the same thing happened to Chelsea. But then again Chelsea was then a club with massive debts mounting up and Roman was gladly accepted by its fans when he stepped in with his billions to save the club. Man United on the other hand was just recently confirmed as the riches club in the world yet again and had no need for anyone to come in and change everything. Suddenly from being the richest club in the world Manchester United is staring at debts possibly mounting to as much as 300 million pounds. That in itself gives the fans plenty to worry about and they have voiced their discontent that the club might be led into ruin.

The fans are doing the best they can although it seems inevitable that the club will fall into the hands of one man and his overwhelming ambition to add to his already impressive fortune. But I admire them for their effort. True fans always will stand up and shout for the club which they love and I salute them for it. Only time will tell whether Malcolm Glazier will lead Manchester United onto greater heights, or almost certain oblivion.
