    Are we winning?

      To me that shows how badly the club has been marketed in the past compared to Man Utd
      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

        It just shows Man United are more famous. Which they are.

        End of.

        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.

          But I think him and Tom Werner have grown to really love the club - a special bond is being created and it will be more than just an investment for them IMO.

            I forgot about the bid from that Lim clown.
            Oh I don't know.

              Yeah but the PL is well marketed so at least he should have heard about us.

                It was actually Werner who said that (not that it makes much difference).

                ''Werner said he, too, had barely heard of the club: "I had been in sports so I was aware of the EPL and its strength globally," Werner said. "But I didn't know the inner workings of it. I certainly knew about Manchester United."
                If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

                  It's so good he didn't succeed. The puns alone would have been horrendous.

                  It's Lim-erpool!

                  Liverpool Lim-ited!

                  Reds Lim-p to sixth place!


                  And from The Independent:

                  Liverpool Football Club bought by Singaporean Billionaire

                        Or maybe he'd had some dealings with The Glazers?

                          Who knows? Maybe he'd done business with Hicks or Gillett and it never came up. Or one of the other Americans who own "EPL" clubs. But we don't need that speculation to explain it - a simple fact will do.

                          Are you unwilling to accept that Manchester United is far more well-known by people who aren't football fans?

                            And the story about it has been posted on here before. Tried to find it and should hopefully have better luck now I know his name

                            edit: In fact, now I've searched his name I seem to be thinking of a different guy. Who was the one who told the story about him and his dad watching 2005 semi final against Chelsea and his dad picked Chelsea and he picked Liverpool - the moment that started his love of the club?

                                No, I just have a dislike for "end of".

                                It just compels me to put forward another suggestion whether plausible or not
