They predicted in 05 that we would be starting to come out of the debt around now & we aren't, the global financial situation made a huge dent in that.

The club success, fan base & merchandising ensures a level of security i.e. the Chevrolet deal. United have blue chip companies tripping over themselves to be associated with the United brand

To the Glazer's credit they leave the football alone & trust the right people i.e. David Gill & Fergie.

It's a long term investment due to the debt but it's one I would make, not just as a United fan but as an investor.

The only doubt is what happens when Fergie leaves the dug out. But United are now at the same level as Barca & Real in their culture & ethos, if they slump it's only to 2nd & 3rd.
