Interesting comment I read on the United (Rooney) situation....
"The fact of the matter is Rooney handed in his first transfer request because he wasn't sure about the direction of the clubs new ownership and whether they aspired to progress by investing in new players. With a huge amount of debt the club the club had just sold Cristiano Ronaldo for 80 million the same year as getting rid of Carlos Tevez because they couldn't afford his wage. The club also got Dimitar Berbatov's substantial wage off the bill as well. I credit Rooney for being the only figure at United who is honest with the management policies in place and showing us the fans, the true state of affairs at the club. It's true that man Utd bought RVP last season, but since the Glazers took over consider the following figures:
when you add up the amount the owners have spent on new players compared to what they have made selling prized assets and reducing the wage bill, it is a suprise to find out that even Sunderland and Liverpool have invested more in the transfer market?
Bearing in mind this is all happening at the same time ticket prices have been massively inflated at the same rate as Manchester United's world record profits.
Is it any wonder that the chairman of the club announces that David Moyes has unlimited funds at his disposal, even 150 million for both Ronaldo and Bale. I don't know what I find funniest about why they released this statement;
Is it because they just signed the cheapest option for Fergie's replacement, and in his first game fielded a competitive side that lost to a makeshift Thailand XI?
Has that affected share prices I wonder? Whilst I support Moyes and think he'll do a good job at United given time and support he certainly wasn't the best candidate. He is a cheap alternative that fits the United brand of youth and longevity. Unfortunately the other brand is that of European Glory something Moyes has a clear lack off and the ability to draw great players to the club, which is convenient considering we don't have the money to buy them. This brings me to my next point.
Man Utd have been that strapped for cash they tried floating the club on the Singaporean Stock Exchange but were rejected due to the owners greedy demands. Why is the club not listed on the London Exchange one might wonder?
It might have something to do with the fact that shareholder don't have any voting rights with the certain type of shares that they hold which essentially means that all the investors are putting money into the club that they have no control over and are not entitled to dividends. Also the clubs business address is in the Cayman Islands now if you weren't already aware of this, to save money on tax, hopefully this is within the law...
And what about the Glazers use of the media, every season have you noticed that with the team desperately needing reinforcements we are linked with the worlds best players yet would you believe we get trumped in the final stages of every major negotiation. Think Wesley Sneijder, Lucus Moura, Eden Hazard, Lewendowski, Modric, and this year Bale and Ronaldo.
Realistically we were never even bidding for these players, it's just good media for investors and shareholders. We couldn't tie up a deal for Thiago Alcantara a World Cup winning captain that wants to go to a European Champions instead to sit on the
bench. Last year we lost our own World Cup best player and winning captain Paul Pogba because the glazers didn't want to alter the wage structure of our youth players!
So I applaude you Rooney. I'm a die hard Utd fan, but I wish you all the best even if you're somewhere else. I only ask that you please go abroad...
