Of course Blackburn bought the title that season
No team will ever win the premiership again without buying it.
It's easier to accept when the person splashing the cash is actually a fan of the club - even better, a hometown boy. Sheikh Mansour is a life-long City fan?
You are of course, right. It's the way it's going to go - more and more money is going to be thrown around, more and more clubs will be taken over. Before the Glazers, we were making enough money to run the club and afford to buy pretty much any player in the world. Now the only way to get that back will be to sell out (if we can get rid of the sodding Gormless Glazers) - and that will be a real shame, because it'll mean basically being tainted with the same brush as City - unless the buyer is either English, or is actually a Man Utd fan. Anyway, looks like Sir Alex is busy putting the process of buying the title back.
He's spending a lot of time looking at various Borussia Dortmund players.

He's not stupid, speaking out against the owners would only destabilise the running of the club.
Or it might give them a shove towards the exit door. Of course, he's going to pack it in any year now; if he was much younger, it could be a case of 'either you get rid of our owners, Mr Gill, or I'm outta here'. Now, I don't think that would work anyway because of his age.
I don't like the sound of Man Utd being taken over by anyone, apart from an actual Man Utd fan - but if that's the only way to keep up with City, then if an offer comes in - an offer from someone rich, like Murdoch was back in the 90s
, then we must accept it. I still don't get how the Murdoch takeover was able to be blocked, but not the Glazers. I mean, didn't the owners know about the Glazers' financial position or something??
It's madness - they're dragging the club down - and the sooner they go, the better. We've been winning despite the Glazers, not because of them.
. Always sad to see a legend go.
