This is what I'm thinking. I'm sure I read an article that said there were caveats in the bond agreement. Could face some harsh penalties.

Almost all of the proceeds should go towards paying off the debt, yes.
I guess it remains to be seen how much money is raised. The question will then be, what happens to the funds which become accessible in the future. Lower debt will result in lower interest repayments/less debt buy-back...so for example, it could mean an extra £30m profit for the club next year. Does that money go towards reinvestment in the club or towards other things?
The IPO is only half the story.
They were advertising them on MUTV during today's game
I still don't understand your assault on the MUFC season ticket sales though. Even with a % remaining unsold, United's attendance record is pretty ridiculous across any sport in the world, I can only imagine 1/2 sports teams do better, if that.
Wasn't there a 1M strong waiting list?

Obviously not, but did the club actually claim that?

How on earth do they come up with these stories. I have heard of United's interest in RVP but I just do not see that happening and even more than that, I don't see Ferguson saying something like that after he got burned so bad with Nasri and Hazard in the past 12 months.
Edit - Woah, what's up with RVP's hair in that link lol.

I hope he goes to Copenhagen.
I don't think he knows where that is.
Didn't United lose a significant chunk of fans from the fallout of the Glazer take over, and a further chunk still over the years through price increases?

I hope Hazard plays today! Sky Sports News were saying last week that Marin was playing so that should be good. Can not wait for the game to start even though I bet it will be boring!
I'm going to watch Chelsea's games purely for Hazard. He looks phenomenal.
Would I like to see RVP at United? Of course, he's an excellent player.
But he's a 29 year old striker with a history of injuries. If we were able to keep him fit then he'd be an excellent addition. But we'd only get 3 or 4 good years out of him before his abilities start to decline. It just doesn't fit the bill for a United signing.

Prior to the take-over, the waiting list officially stood at 110,000.
Worth bearing in mind that at this stage OT's capacity was 10k less than it is now and ticket prices have more than doubled since the Glazer's took over.
So yeah, alot of fans have either left in demonstration, been priced out and of course the stadium has been expanded.
That's why I don't get where this 1m figure comes from =S
Even if you did make a reasonable offer its likely City would put a higher bid in just because.
Well unless they fiddled with the online ticketing booking system we did sell out. We sold out of every PL home game.
Do you have ESPN3.com in your part of the world?
I don't question dc11
I'm not questioning that. Just a lot of people with season tickets don't turn up sometimes.

Clubs these days DO "fiddle" with these sold out announcements. Saw countless games last year across the league where they said it was a sell out but plenty of seats were still clearly visible. Not sure how this comes about but it definitely happens.
When you have Gary Neville and Martin Tyler on commentary, I don't blame them.
He's still a pundit for Sky.
He is still with sky no?

And? Götze signed a new contract since then. There's no way he's leaving us without someone paying silly money (more that 40m) in the next few years.
Sources indicate Rodvik is understood to have told GAF friends he is confident Clegg will become an Aston Villa fan as the disgruntled Clegg is looking for a move from ManU after only 5 minutes given to Kawaga during a pre season friendly.

developing.....
I didn't mean he would leave for us anytime soon or at all. I just meant that obviously we wanted him quite a lot to make such a huge bid (for us).
Exactly. They have to just make stuff up as no one is moving yet, or not that they can see.

Warms my heart every time.
Footballers might be dumb but surely he got some basic geography knowledge.
"i bet if it was Sunderland 0-1 Manchester City, Manchester United 3-2 QPR and United won it - Sunderland fans wouldn't be behaving like this on City fans - fuck every club that hates MU - the description saying Sunderland fans tormenting man u fans - THE SUNDERLAND FANS AREN'T TORMENTING THEY'RE TRYING TO MURDER EVERY MAN U FAN/PLAYER WITH THE GUNS AND KNIVES THEY TOOK INTO THE STADIUM OF LIGHT INCLUDING THE UPLOADER OF THIS VID TOOK GUNS AND KNIVES AND TRIED TO KILL EVERY UNITED PLAYER/FAN"

Fuck City TV, we've got Joe Cole TV.
He speaks quite well to be fair, can't think of many players I'd rather have doing a daily diary. Spearing maybe, just for laughs.
