Can fan power sort it?

[Blade56]

With everything going right on the pitch it's a shame we could (as usual ) shoot ourselves in the foot off the pitch.

Didn't we have some official supporters group that liaised with the club? Can't they petition the co owners with a plea to sort their differences backed by a fans petition?

We are at the biggest cross roads in the clubs history, McCabe got us back here but he brought HRH on board. As for HRH is he a real sports fan as we were always told by Jim Phipps or just here to make a few quid? Surely they can sort it without the upcoming court case where no doubt the press will have a field day putting us in the limelight for the wrong reasons rather than the right ones.

 

[jt64]

I'd have thought they would have 200 million reasons to sort it, none of which is the fans

 

[Lmaobob]

I don't think the Prince would give a fuck if the fans wanted him out of the club. He's here for the money & profit, he won't go until he's made his money

I dont know how you know that ? he may just grow to love us , and get some of his wealthy relations involved , after all they are loaded and a premier leauge club could be the prestiige they could , obtain to boost their image .

 

[SheepdipBlade]

Does the fact that we're promoted help in court or hinder? Will the owners see us "at a crossroads" and work to seize the (once in a generation) opportunity in front of us - or alternatively, just see the big bucks the PL brings and dig in deeper to maximize their own share?

Just like McCabe then.

He only seems to have shown any sort of interest in us in the past few weeks. What about last season? What about the start of the season? He turned up to the Forest game only this season.

I understand it's more difficult as he is not a British national but i'd rather our club not be alienated by someone who has previous of 'asset stripping' other clubs and doesn't show any sort of interest in us until we get promoted.

Just asking for a mate like, but who has previous for "asset stripping other clubs"?

The Prince, apparently

 

[Sheffsteel]

But isn’t that what every owner/ businessman does? We don’t yet know who will be best for the club, just because McCabe is a fan doesn’t automatically mean he’s the best owner we could ever have.

Do we want someone like Chansiri, someone like Vincent Tan, like Leeds' owners, like Forest's owners?

 

[Snowman]

The Prince, apparently

Any links to articles or similar? Genuinely interested because I thought I had done a reasonable due diligence job and it appears I must have missed something.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

I am sure that the matter will be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction before the start of the season.

I heard it from a friend, not from anything online so can't provide any links. This is just an "apparently" though so most definitely might not be true

And the Ipswich game!

Same thing. In the run up to promotion anyway. Hadn't heard of him being at the Ipswich game though

 

[Northyorksblade]

Yes he was definitely there. John Street box. Bumped into him and his entourage as we came out. Not literally, obviously as I'm still here.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Just like McCabe then.

Do you honestly think McCabe is EVER going to recoup everything he's put into United?

 

[Isar]

Too many assumptions about the prince, we know about McCabe, but the prince is an unknown.
That doesn't mean it would be bad if he does take over, truth is no-one knows how it would pan out.

 

[BladeInIreland]

No

I think there's a lot we don't know about him, but, I'm not sure on this at all. We could have been a championship club for years on end and a constant money drain. I think he took us on as a hobby rather than for a quick buck. If you've got money already there are better investments than a football club.

I prefer it to be known as bullshit just so it clears the matter up.

How about a letter?

Do something Foxy !

There's lots to criticise Prince for; not least the family to which he belongs, but in my opinion we'd still be down in League One without the investment he provided upon taking a share in the club.

Fixed

I can see why Billy gets called fat. Look at the state of him

 

[Davalon]

Same thing. In the run up to promotion anyway. Hadn't heard of him being at the Ipswich game though

After Forest he walked up Bramall Lane after the game with his entourage looking surly.

After Ipswich he was walking up again but this time wearing a United scarf and punching the air towards fans. One wag did shout he needs to get his hand in his pockets, but whether he's been found yet I'm not sure

 

[Chali 2na]

Just like McCabe then.

You think McCabe's motivation for investing in the blades is profit? Really?

I heard it from a friend, not from anything online so can't provide any links. This is just an "apparently" though so most definitely might not be true

Maybe you should establish the facts before labelling someone as an "asset stripper" in future?

 

[Harry's Game]

I dont know how you know that ? he may just grow to love us , and get some of his wealthy relations involved , after all they are loaded and a premier leauge club could be the prestiige they could , obtain to boost their image .

Jim Phipps was actually quite open about it, they came in to make money.

This is fact as in one of his first interviews his words were, "I'm a business man" which immediately made me think hmmmnnnnn.....
