The backlash (DICS)

[mick the click]

Just tell them to mind their obnoxious manc manners and to try again when they're the most successful football club in the history of the British Isles - and beyond!

Nah man, if and flippin when the DIC takeover the Club i can't imagine they'll be giving Rafa funds left, right and centre to improve the team ala Roman Abramovic who is a wealthy fcuker, also Parry said the DIC Consortium were eager to respect the Club's values ie not buy our way to success.

Different kettle of fish altogether mate, we do need some bucks though to bring in a few world class palyers, it has to be done.

we're going to be like man u spend big buck for big players. we used to do that pack in the days aswell, kenny was a record fee if i remember corectly...

[Icon]

I hope everyone is prepared for something of an anti climax.....

[Bob]

Don't let the *******s grind you down.

I know I won't!

[Rich]

If were to spend £200m on new players in one window then, yeah, after the inital high of winning the title had worn off it would lessen the enjoyment. However this will not happen and if this take over means that Rafa can buy one or two £20m then I'm all for it.

[Neil Young]

It doesn't matter anyway.

[Jack D Rips]

As far as I'm concerned
Ferdinand + Carrick + Rooney + Ronaldo + Saha = Buying the title

[RedWolverine]

Are you prepared for the backlash from (jealous) fans of other clubs? Are you prepared for, in the event of us winning number 19, being dismissed as having “bought the title” (they said the same when Kenny’s team won it anyway!)? What will you say to those people?

Have you started getting any stick from jealous mates? I have. Cries of “hypocrites!” and “you sold your soul to Dubai!” have already started flying my way in this office here in ****house Manchester. It makes me laugh. One United fan here at work has been going on all morning “we were self-made millionaires cos our fame and hugeness brought us profit – you *******s have had to travel the world cap in hand, begging for money off anyone who’ll listen”. :whatever: I’m sure this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Have these other fans got a point? I’m celebrating this deal with a tinge of sadness, but my overriding feeling is one of joy and excitement. This is thread for all things ‘backlash’ and all things negative about the deal.

I have got bit off them already to which I reply with "5" and I then repeat till bored.

[einar]

We where fighting bidders of, not begging for money.

Also we have to wait and see how much money Rafa will get.

I like this plan of just repeating 5 and 18 over and over.

[Boogs]

Jesus Christ I have had it loads this season off the bitters.

"60 Mill on ****e and you still can not beat any of the big sides."

"3-6 fact most enjoyed by me, worst result for nearly 100 years, great season!"

"The 2nd biggest spenders in europe in the last 2 years and lets be honest a million miles away from the best in england let alone europe. The theatre of silence again"

"Oh well it looks as though your season over, Barca to come. Another 30 mil wasted. Shame"

It makes me laugh and I reply mearly to wined them up even more.
So far I have nothing off them about the take over but no doubt that will come.

[Shaggy]

2nd biggest spenders in Europe?! HAHAHAHA!

[lfc4ever]

If we can't take it, we shouldn't give it.

I've give it plenty in the past, I expect plenty back in the near future.

It's all give & take and only banter.

My only wish is that none of us had gone down that route in the first place, but we are where we are and we just have to deal with it, warts and all, and it was the only way to maintain our competitiveness at the top table.

[Red_Al_77]

Usually the league winners are the biggest spenders anyway. I see nothing new in the fact that we would have been financed from abroad when we win no.19. Aren't Chelsea with Roman, Manure with the Glazers, and Arsenal with the Emirates?

It's just that the money is coming from abroad now whereas when the PL started it came from people like Jack Walker.

[Boogs]

2nd biggest spenders in Europe?! HAHAHAHA!

Class init?!?! Think I hit a nerve when I was slating their turn out at the FA Cup Blackburn game. 24k? Peoples club my arse :whatever:

[scully]

I have no defence against people attacking us for the Dubai deal. The state of football today, more a business than a sport, depresses the hell out of me. Selling our arses to dodgy businessmen from Dubai makes me feel sick. Having to resort to defensive responses like "Yeah, well you did it first" and "You've got to go this way to compete" is lame and not something I've been doing or will do. I'll never stop loving Liverpool and I'll be thrilled to see more trophies come our way, but the whole thing is a lot hollower than what I fell in love with as a kid.
