fear the reaper (U7794387) posted Jun 22, 2007 Just to think When Mr Shinawatra does take over our club will no longer in debt whilst across the CITY at Old Trafford United are around £600M and still signing players SAF thinks will give him a second Champions league trophy. Whats happened to all the cries of Chelsea trying to buy success from MUFC and their fans? it may not work for Ferguson this time and when you consider the debt they'll be in deep trouble unlike MCFC who shortly will have a massive equity,its a funny old game aint it? providing tings go to plan at te COMS within three years MCFC WILL be a top four club make no mistake about that! Its funny really not long ago the Man United fans were ridiculing the City fans about their council house he he he he he who knows they might have their own in a few years time when Mr Glacer sells their 'PIT' to recoup his money. As Bob Dylan once sang ' THE TIMES - THEY ARE A CHANGIN''''''' Thaksin? you might just be a GOD SEND like Joe Mercer was back in the wonderful sixties!!!!!!

nclfishnchips (U8797567) posted Jun 23, 2007 Be careful with Thaksin. He always destroys the organizations he sets up or joins. He started his political job by joining Palang Dham party. Then he collapsed it before setting up his own party, Thai Rak Thai. Then he did everything--corruptions--for his own profits because he thought no one would caught him. This caused his party to face dissolution. Comment on this article
