We all do but I would never wish we had it at the expense of being owned by the Glazers. Half a billion of debt, most of which was never cleared and existed as part of the Glazers purchase of the club. They put some of the club up for sale as tradable shares, checked how well they're doing at the moment??
I truly believe that united will be in some serious sh!t someday with that mountain of leveraged debt

that day is a long time coming they have been unsustainable for years but yet can pull off this level of investment. they will need a few seasons without cl or prem success before they hit the skids.
given this type of backing it wont be happening anytime soon

As a footballer he is not worth that, but United are at a crossroads and dare not lose face at this point and watch
the share price slump if Rooney strayed.
Not only are footballers wages too high they are unethical now, its absolutely ridiculous.
We talk about the FA not putting money into grass roots which is right but so should these high earners, they should
never forget where they started and have the cash to put back and help out. Spread the wealth, they get off far too
easy.
Christ you cant possibly spend that much, its scandalous.

Agreed, and yet Rooney sells a lot of tickets and a lot of shirts, as do all the highest paid players. So they get a % of the value they bring in. Fans pay to see him and that's that.
Why people would pay to see Shrek is beyond me, but that's why he gets what he gets. Still, what'cha expect from that lot? And Rooney has 'em by the nuts now. If they fail to make the CL, and Real make a nice bid, I'm not sure they could do a lot to keep him. They'd want the money. Shrek would get his "loyalty" bonus, Real would get Shrek, and we'd be rid of him. Everyone's a winner.
