Forgive me father for I have sinned it has been about 18 hours since my last confession.
Well I've joined a Manchester United Forum today (RedCafe) and I have gained 4 posts and feel all used and dirty and like I need a shower.
However I've done it for a reason, to get the general feeling of the united support on their owners and maybe arrange something between both sets of fans in demonstrating about our owners.
So heres my opening post on RedCafe.
Unity Is Key !!!
Where do I start ?
I suppose in telling you that I am a Liverpool supporter is as good as place any but please read on I'm not here to take the piss, but to try and arrange something thats beneficial to both sets of supporters.
Right now as both sets of fans we are both aware we are both American Owned Clubs, with Owners that have heaped debt up on our illustrious clubs and are sucking the very life out them.
Now I am not aware of Uniteds nets spend in the transfer market, but taking into consideration what Ronaldo was sold for last summer I'd say that maybe 15% of his transfer fee was re-invested back into the squad.
I can be more clearer about our finances and tell you that since Hicks & Gillet took over at Liverpool Rafael Benitez has a transfer net spend of 30 million, Thats an average of 10 million net per season and an average of 5 million net per transfer window.
Now today its been reported the Glazers could take up to £600m out of Manchester United over seven years in dividends, interest payments and fees arising from the club’s bond issue and surely as fans you are not happy about that ?
Glazers could take £600m out of Manchester United over seven years - Telegraph
Now you may be wondering where I am going with this ?
So I'll get to the point as the title of the thread says Unity is the key, so what I'm suggesting is, can the fans of both our clubs put our rivalries to one side just for one day and put both sets of clubs best interests at heart ?
The day I'm talking about is Saturday, 20 March 2010, when Liverpool face United at Old Trafford, now this game will be televised on SkyTV and broadcast all around the globe.
Now as supporters can you imagine a bigger stage for both sets of fans to show some unity and be vocal in protest against both sets of owners ?, Make it a carnival day get your Yanks out banners out and fill the stadium in a defiant protest against both sets of owners ?
I would appreciate your feedback and if I'm not welcome here, this will be my last post, however if we can put our rivalries aside through the power of the internet and various forums I believe this is something that can be easily arranged and there is plenty of time to do so.
So tell me Guys what do you think ?
