THE Glazer family have gone cap in hand to Manchester United's players - effectively asking them for a multi-million pound loan!

United stars were stunned by the handout request when they arrived back last week from their Qatar training camp.

Players were handed a prospectus, as owner Malcolm Glazer attempts to raise a staggering £500million through a bond issue to refinance huge debts.

And SunSport understands even the lower paid Old Trafford staff have been offered the 'opportunity' to invest in the club by the American owners.

A United insider said: "The players don't know what to make of it, really.

"Most are bemused that the people who pay their wages are basically trying to find out if they can have some back.

"A few of the lads know a good investment when they see one, but not too many seem prepared to put their money where their mouths are!"

United are believed to be offering investors an annual return of seven per cent on the bonds, which start at £50,000 a block.

But City experts say returns are dependent on continued success on the field in the years ahead.

The insider added: "There have been people working at Old Trafford for many years, on low salaries, worried about their futures.

"Yet now they are being offered the chance to stretch themselves even further. It's a joke!"

lool.Imagine Berbatov investing in Utd.

A bit serious stuff

Glazers could take £130m out of Manchester United next year

• Small print in bond offer reveals shock provisions
• Owners able to get cut of money from player sales

The Glazer family, who own Manchester United, can take almost £130m cash out of the club next year alone if enough lenders sign up for the bond they have launched to borrow £500m for United.

any channel is showing manu vs mancity

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Skysports reporting that FLAMINI is set to join city on a loan.


First,I feel gutted because he would have been perfect for us and he joined another PL team to warm their bench.
Secondly,WTF is City going to do with so many DMs?

 

[abhijit_reddevil]

Which channel is showing today's Manchester Derby match and at what time?

 

[dreamcatcher]

@A_G: Are ManC trying to get hold of all ex-Arsenal bigshots?Whos next ?Henry?

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Henry said he won't play for another Prem side but I wouldn't rule that out.No idea why City aren't trying to fix their leaky defense.

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------

considering we're away,i wont mind a draw at this stage.bt goin onto OT with a lead and celebrating again in front of the pissworthy eastlands would be great.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Read that Tevez did a "talking" gesture by hand after scoring.

City are a bag of cvnts.Hope Villa win the CC.

 

[XTerminator]

yeah,that ungrateful stitchneck did gesture something.apparently rooney was behind all this "talking" stuff

From the bbc live text feed:

From andituk on Twitter: "Managers and players lose their jobs for bad decisions, yet referees are unquestionable. Something needs to change."

Cardiff pwn Bristol City with a late goal in FA Cup

"Maybe no extra-time in Wales - Michael Chopra beats the Bristol City offside trap, his shot rebounds off the post straight on to the unfortunate Bradley Orr who can only look on in dismay as it flies into the net. Cardiff 1-0 Bristol City."

lol at Orr

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Haha Tevez fvcks none other than the little cvnt Evra for his 2nd.

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

Utd. fans have bben giving stick to him,so him being a bit cvntish is fair enough.

 

[XTerminator]

Diouf heads wide,inspite being unmarked tells uniteds sad story today

---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

moral of the story -> city-tevez=bunch of no-good trashpickers.

Cant wait for the return leg.

 

[look_niks01011968]

lol. apart from the goal, they were trash anyways in the second half.

 

[skeletor]

I think that City and Utd were equally matched and city just edged them with their 2nd goal. It was no penalty tbh, the foul was slightly outside the box. But it had to happen with Utd for once.

oh btw, Tevez now has 17 goals in 25 apperances for Citeh.

yeah,that ungrateful stitchneck did gesture something.

Gesture towards Gary Neville, who claimed that he is not worth 25m £. Still wrong tbh.

These kind of comments deserve a

yeah i agree fergie fvcked up there.deep down,i too like tevez and think he shudve still been at OT,price no matter.bt he's not now,so have to hate him,especially since he's at eastlands.

 

[abhijit_reddevil]

It's hard to accept this defeat. But Neville should have shut his mouth up and let his team do the talking with the ball. Anyone would have been angered by his comments. Now he has to swallow his own words. Heart says to buy new big name strikers (David Villa anyone) but with all the stories about the debt, how can one? It was a mistake to let CR7 and Tevez leave.

Let's hope Utd erase the deficit on the 2nd leg and win the SF.
