You know me - being 'Mr. Nice Guy, I never disagree with anyone. That's probably why I've got splinters in my ****, through many years of fence dwelling!
That said, I can't remember having been 'engulfed' by anything, apart from when one of my RU team mates tried to drown me in the bath!!

Yeh they get good attendances but the amount they pay their players is staggering eg RVP gets over £14 million a year.

I for one have seen it all before I can assure you.
The irony is not lost on me that the current owner is amongst the number of people who have walked away from our club in the past so therefore [ipotentially[/i........

| Well i think its a shame we have lost quality in mazey/wilcock. I think extremely highly of db, alwasys been a fan, but like a few different voices on the bod. As for allan rowley, well as long as he does not release any press statements he can direct what the hell he likes.

Sorry for being a bit slow here. What was the question? I answered what I thought was the question about something 'engulfing' your life, by saying that I haven't been in that position to experience it.
(No wonder I found the Communications Group such hard going )

Are you serious?
Have a look at the profit and loss annually since Taggart landed in 86 and tell me the net loss.
Oh and they are £650m in debt.
Let's hope we can be just as self sustainable eh??

You know ever since 1991 who do you think has been the catalyst in rallying the troops nearly every time we've needed saving??

NO Manchester United FC ARE NOT in debt, the Glazer's are 'ya bitter blue prat'.
How much cash will Sheik City lose this year (again) The naughty 'financial fair play' rule breakers, yet they still can't beat Wigan Athletic

As you've taken to name calling I'll withhold now.
Try again Manchester United are £650m in debt that's why the intelligent Utd fans hate them !!
If it was the Glazers who were £650m in debt why do you wave green and yellow scarves around??
Oh and I'm not a City fan.
