Ironic given that the current Ronaldo will probably move for £85m

So Ronaldo is almost as good as a whole team of Nanis

Manchester United to pay Dublin rent until 2015
Club’s rental final rental bill comes in at almost €8.2m
Manchester United will finally be able to end their embarrassing involvement with the Lafayette building in the centre of Dublin when their 15-year lease comes to an end in 2015 – 13 years after their store closed.
The world famous club has been paying dearly for signing long-term contracts back in 2000 to lease most of the landmark building at the junction of Westmoreland Street and D’Olier Street for their own store.
Though the millennium-year venture was launched with an elaborate street party, the business folded in about two years. The club has since been paying an annual rent of €520,000 under the 15-year lease which finally runs out in August, 2015.
Even then the club will still have to fork out a further penalty of €390,000 – the equivalent of nine months rent – to finally end the leasing arrangement with Treasury Holdings, the property company headed by Johnny Ronan and Richard Barrett which is now insolvent.
Manchester United’s final rental bill of almost €8.2 million – not to mention a substantial rates contribution – will be more than double the asking price for the 19th-century Lafayette building when it is offered for sale this week on the instructions of a receiver appointed by Bank of Scotland Ireland.
Rod Nowlan of commercial agents Bannon is inviting offers of about €3.5 million for the six-storey over basement building which has an overall rent roll of €625,453.
More than €100,000 of that is paid by the Blood Donation Clinic for the use of two upper floors.
Retail agents Michael Harrington, who advised United on the letting, said the deal was agreed at a time when the club looked like being taken over by BSkyB and had aspirations of becoming a global sports brand.
The club made unconditional commitments to open two other stores abroad at the same time as the Dublin outlet.
After the Dublin shop ran into trouble, the business was sublet to Roches Stores and the Red cafe in the basement was taken over by Fitzers. The changes made little difference and the businesses duly folded.
Nice to see we're not the only ones who make dumb ass decisions!What do you mean it could've been anyone? Name me one person who's got a grudge against penguins

Do any club shops away from the home ground survive long term? What happened to that hilariously named Everton 2?
Obviously I'm not talking about the commercial powerhouses of the several thousand shops of European clubs in all the major cities and towns of Japan..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

I've not been into town for a while but AFAIK our store in Chester is still thereHello mert.Comment

Ok, cheers, I have no idea how they survive - I'm surprised there's enough demand. Maybe they've got a good deal on the rent although I find it hard to believe that applies to anywhere in Chester..

Over the years I have been to the Chester shop many times and it was always full of tourists buying everything they could carry.Those that hid Anne Frank were breaking the law.
