Man Utd sold?

[kevo]

Unconfirmed (I stress that) rumour that the Glazers have sold MUFC to Epsom, the printing company.

Will be interesting to see FCUM still want those extra tickets if it turns out to be true!

 

[e77]

Why would Epsom buy Man Utd?

 

[Kumquat]

Because most of their fans come from Epsom?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Epsom can't have that kind of money, shirley?

 

[Razi]

I find this to be very unlikely indeed.

 

[Biscuit]

If so it might give our clash more chance of being on the Tele. Being topical and all gives them something to talk about.

 

[Perry Milkins]

Would spice up the Manc derby..

Epson?

 

[Bwian]

Epsom can't have that kind of money, shirley?

The prices they charge for ink cartridges they could probably buy 2 ManUres.

FCUM will still continue; the Glazers were only the final straw for them - they hate pretty much everything to do with the modern, top-flight, business-over-football, cuture at Manchester United.

 

[Biscuit]

Would be interesting, the same day Blackburn Rovers have been bought by the Rao family from India for £23m.

 

[kevo]

Epson?

Yes, sorry meant Epson not Epsom - must've been thinking of all those Man U fans from Surrey...

 

[Gritt23]

Not so sure about these guys being the buyers, BUT I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Glazers are lining it up to be sold. They settled the Payment In Kind loans last week which seemed a bit odd, unless the existance of these high cost loans were putting off a potential buyer.

 

[Razi]

I think if there was a hint or a rumour of such a sale, it'd be on here pretty quickly...

It is on here tho:

Epson?! - Rumoured Glazer sale - Utd Forum : Manchester United

 

[The Large One]

The end of FC United.

 

[Easy 10]

I'd be surprised. Man U is their cashcow, ripe for milking for a good few years yet I'd have thought.

 

[Razi]

RT @tomsearle: @philmcnulty Its a mistake. Epson press con called with title 'Manu Acquisition' - Manu Tech is a manufacturing company.

Oh dear.

 

[kevo]

The rumour came from a tweet by a Times football journalist - he should know better!

 

[Boris Yeltsin]

Muppetry!

I'd be surprised. Man U is their cashcow, ripe for milking for a good few years yet I'd have thought.

Or has it been milked to the point whereby they would need to stump up a transfer fund or risk losing the CL money in a year or two? Players have been sold and not replaced, aging stars are just getting too aging now, and Rooney has just doubled his money.

Time to invest in players, or sell at an inflated price before the problems REALLY start mounting up.
