    Iain, ironically as far as the Tonight's football thread 'debate' goes I reckon you are in a good position (a bit like City in fact) and Danbert is way off the pace (like Moyes' boys) this season. Keep up the good work and happy birthday!

    Aye of course you are. The Edwards lot were bad, they sold rotten meat to Manchester schools but Uncle Malcolm and his family are taking £50m minimum a year out of United whilst simply servicing the debt.

    No, I wasn't, I was merely pointing out to you that Manchester United are far more financially 'unhealthy' now under the Glazers than when Bacon-chops took over.

    That said I still blame the Edwards family and the unedible food they sold to Manchester schools for my failure to win the Greater Manchester Schools Cross Country Champs in 1978.

    Iain as much as you 'pretend' to deny it the change in fortunes for our clubs over the last few years has been unbelievable - you could be forgiven for thinking we'd never finish above you in our lifetimes some 15 years ago, and now we can see a clear path towards role reversals.

    We are on the up, building one of the best football academy's that the world of footballing facilities has ever seen, backed up with strong investment in youth players and talent development around the world, as well as the rest of the clubs infrastructure, stadium included. We have a team spine including some of the best players in the world, in the peak of their careers, all on long-term contracts (Hart 26, Kompany 27, Silva 27, Nasri 26, Aguero 25, Yaya 30). Should the squad need investment, we have an owner continuously willing to back the manager in times of need - and a revenue number growing faster than any club on the planet ready to take on Financial Fair Play any time. We have one of, if not the best executive management team in world football at the club, driving a philosophy that ensures a commitment to the fans and the club to ensure it becomes one of the most successful clubs in world football.

    In the mean time your fortunes have a slightly less positive outlook, to say the least. Having already conquered the world over with your 12 billion fans there is little room to grow. Your best centre-backs are 32 and 35; your best left back is 32, and is in the final year of his contract; your best striker is 30 and seeing frequent injuries reminiscent of his old self; your only other world class out field player has been kicking up a fuss for a year about wanting to leave, with less than 2 years left on his contract; and despite spending £27.5m on a midfielder, you are still yet to rectify a problem that has been well known for many years. You are still saddled with debt, owned by people only interested in making money for themselves. You are struggling to reach the Champions League spots this year, and even if you do manage to scrape back in, your manager is still David Moyes.

    The future is blue.

    Think you've got it all worked out Danbert don't you?

    No Rooney
    RVP unhappy
    No champs league

    Stock price plummets

    Bought out by new rich benefactors

    Agent moyes (and staff) retires

    This could all work out very nicely thank you
