Hi All,
I joined the group not long ago, but waited to make my introduction until I'd had a chance to read more posts and get a better feel for the group. I have been happy to see that not only is the forum quite active, but that the members seem quite diverse in their practice, as this leads to very interesting discussions. I appreciate what appears to be a general policy of courtesy mixed with a healthy shot of straight-talk.
Thanks,
Trevor.

| Chiellini Will Replace Vidic, Apparently |

OK, I can't ignore the story any longer: apparently, Juventus' Giorgio Chiellini is set to replace Nemanja Vidic in the summer. United have opened talks with the Turin club, according to media sources, and are in prime position to broker a deal.
Vidic, by the papers' reckoning, will leave for sunnier shores - probably either Real Madrid or Barcelona - and we will replace him with the only player who managed to emerge with some credit from Jventus' so far thoroughly dismal season.
The 25-year-old is essentially a centre-back but is capable of playing on the left side of the defence as well. He's well prone to the odd lapse of concentration and he's not nearly as imposing as Vidic but is better on the ball - so he would be a good alternative to Rio Ferdinand.
He would, according to the rumours, cost around 20M which would be offset by the sale of Vidic - indeed, we would probably make a profit. So there is some credibility to all these rumours which have been gathering pace in Italy for a while - but I know which one I prefer out of Vidic and Chiellini.

Hello All,
I just signed up here today. Your site came right up near the top for a "ManU hate Glazer"- search. Thats me! In my opinion the chanting and abuse in the stadium and away from it will make them pull out at some point if it continues. Look at Liverpool and their change on the board. If people are pissed off that some axxhole from a bank can take half their retirement on some scheme gone bad, then people should be REALLY pissed off when a bank takes all the money from Ronaldo's sale- lets be honest- that money is gone- which is amazing! Fergie could have bought 2 or 3 Di Maria's with that. I hope the fans keep the heat on these greedy bastards the Glazers!

Some better or even good news reported on the BBC, though:
Manchester United have signed a sponsorship deal with Turkish Airlines, the club has confirmed.
The three and a half year contract will see the airline replace Air Asia as the team's official carrier.
Manchester United said it was a multi-million pound deal, but have not released the exact financial details.
It comes a day after accounts showed that the club's debts had risen to £716m. It is also proposing to raise £500m in a bond issue.
The accounts of Manchester United's parent group Red Football Joint Venture also showed that the club's sponsorship income had grown 48% over the past year, not including the £80m shirt deal with American finance group Aon that takes effect next season.
Turkish Airlines, which operates flights from Manchester Airport, carried 25.1 million passengers last year.
It employs more than 12,000 people and is a member of the Star Alliance grouping of airlines that also includes United Airlines, BMI and Lufthansa.

Welcoming the deal, David Gill said:
“We are delighted to have secured a long term partnership with Turkish Airlines. This deal is yet another indication of the global appeal of Manchester United and we are very pleased to welcome them to the Club.”
Richard Arnold, MU Director of Commercial, added:
“We are really looking forward to working with Turkish Airlines. We have been very impressed by their ambition and the creative marketing strategy they are developing for the relationship.”
Hamdi Topçu, the chairman of Turkish Airlines Inc., said:
“Turkish Airlines places great importance on this sponsorship deal and I have the utmost confidence that the partnership will make a great contribution to Turkish Airlines' brand value.
“Turkish Airlines is very pleased to be nominated as the official carrier of one of the most reputable football teams in the world and I believe that the partnership will be of benefit to both parties.”
