Get out now.

1) Fergie has already said that Man U won't win the premiership this season and the share price dropped the next day. Take this a stage further. It is unlikely that Man U will finish in the top 2 this year and so won't get automatic entry to Europe next season. This will seriously affect their income and the analysts know this.

2) The sale of Beckham seriously affected replica shirt sales in the far east (they follow the man, not the team). Again, a loss of revenue that can't be recovered.

With this in mind, the 3 offer from Glazier is looking more and more attractive to institutional investors. It would not therefore be suprising to see him make his 30% stake in the next few weeks. This could see the begining of the decline of Man U (lets hope so) with a concommitant fall in the sp.

True

;-)

Starfrog - If you have no grievane with MNU why write that you hope that this is the beginning of their decline? There obviously is an issue for you otherwise why start up a thread with such a provocative title? If you do have some issue with MNU as a business, maybe from some strange ethical standpoint, I would have thought threads on tobacco, arms, or drinks companies would have been more appropriate. So, perhaps it's because you're a follower of another team/business that will just never be able to compete with MNU, either on the pitch or on the stock market. Either way, unless your surname happens to be Glazier and you're trying to shake the SP loose, there appears to be no rhyme nor reason to your thoughts.

...and you don't appear to be singing anymore.

...at all. Perhaps you're a Geordie fan and can't bear the St.James' pain Starfrog. Or you could still be Glazer hopping across a rather large pond...

queen1 - I'm still here. Gave my freindly warning/advice so don't need to hang about.

Watch out for them Germans!

StarFrog - I see you're an Arse.nal fan. That explains an awful lot.

queen1 - Damn! Outed! Yes, but in all honesty, my team loyalty has nothing to do with my business sense. I still believe that MNU probably reached their peak this year during the Glazier bid period and would have been a good opportunity to take profit. No doubt MNU shares will rise again over the next few years (IMO) but how long do punters want to hold on? If its a matter of heart ruling head (loyal fans holding shares indeffinetly) then fair play to them - they are still a good investment. The dividend policy has always been healthy year on year. However, for the rest of us gamblers, taking profit at 2.85 was a good decision. The long term moving average is flattening out at a support level of 2.60, but if this doesn't hold the next support is at 2.40.

Good luck to all holders and we'll see you in the Champions League final. (Or Chelski!). :>)

Funny old game!

;-))

Is that ggod or bad Al?
I havnt got the foggiest re football:-)
Now. if your talking Sheep Trials.......Well!

Iain - as a confirmed red, I'm biased. LOL!

Oh yes we are, very, very loudly. I'm sure that StarFfog has long since left this post and I very much doubt either he or any other Wenger Boys will be on tonight. 4-2 at Highbury. 6-2 on aggregate for the season (not including the 1-0 victory in the Carling Cup). 6 points. Sweet. Oh, and the SP is maintaining a healthy glow.

Hi queen1 - I guessed you might have something to say. Congrats. I could go on about the unawarded penalty for Pires (Bobby, you reap what you sew - crying Wolf, etc).

I have given up on us wining the title race some time ago. Once the gap was more than 7 points it was out of our hands. I still think that we will give you a run for your money, though. Arsenal will be 2nd - once Henry gets his form back.

I am also willing to concede that Chelsea and Man Utd are currently the best two teams in England.

At time of posting, sp heading south. Good luck. :-{

Ah, found it! ;-))

Gulf between top 2 and the rest seems rather wide at present.

LOL

Unlucky , do you want to swap him for the rotton pole.

Arsenal need 2 - 0 at home to go through.

United need 2 - 0 away.

Could be interesting.

Congrats to Liverpool.

Man U only need 2-1 away actually. And the Scousers aren't anywhere near like safe yet .... sign on, sign on.

;-))

hilary - I stand corrected (but I was assuming that Man U would also want to keep a clean sheet) LOL

We've done it before....turin, 1999, semi-final, 2-0 down after 20 minutes, 3-1 down on aggregate, and we all know how that one turned out.....
