Im sure that this result put a smile on your face.

Man U have so much debt that they will have a hard time remaining one of the big four, IMO. Do you think they can stay in the top tier of teams?

It depends how much Glazer spends on players - or how much he is able to spend whilst servicing the debt. That will decide whether they are able to stay up with the top teams.

The debt is frightening. In a weird accounting trick, the money Glazer used to leverage the team is Man U debt.

I dont know how he got away with it.

The banks can always get the assets of the football club if he ever defaults on the payments, and that's why the fans were so angry with the takeover.

Do they have continuous US election coverage in the UK? They have continuous UK election coverage here on C-SPAN. I always love watching other countries elections. I think they are still fighting over the Mexican presidency''

I don't know if they will overnight or not. They certainly do for the presidential elections, so they could do.

Btw, hope you approve of the new avatar.

What a shock result for Man U,or did they play with their reserve team?

No, it was quite a strong team. Rooney, Ronaldo, Heinze, Fletcher, Smith, O'Shea were all in the starting eleven.

Hageneezz · 11-07-2006, 06:29 PM

Oh then it certainly is a shock result

Yeah I would say so. And Charlton only just avoided following them out when they beat out League One Chesterfield on penalties, after a 3-3 draw after 120 minutes.

Hageneezz · 11-07-2006, 06:32 PM

I can see that Cardiff are currently at number one in the Championship,very surprising,also surprising to see Leeds doing very bad,being a top team a couple of years ago

With Leeds, it seems like they could do a Nottingham Forest and fall down another division. And their run to the playoffs last season look a distant memory at present.

As for Cardiff, they've hit a bit of a poor patch, and I'm not entirely sure they are good enough to stay the course and get promoted.

Hageneezz · 11-07-2006, 06:35 PM

And Cheltenham 23rd in League One

That must have been a great match to watch.

Is the prize money FM awards the same as in real life?

I don't think they're good enough. Yes they had a good start, but they've won I think 1 in the last 10 in the league.
