Reckon we will finish above them again this year. Dunno why. Just a feeling.
I'm really lost here--maybe it's because I'm American. Can you help me understand? You say you've spent loads of your own money supporting United for the past 15 years, and now it's time to be repaid? Did you not enjoy the games you watched, or was United's success your birthright?

Why are you looking to pick a fight? Do you think it's wrong that Manchester United spend their own money on players?
No fight mate, just trying to understand what the club owes you for all your years of support. Is it because you have such a large twitter following?

They owe us fans for spending a fortune on their shirts, merchandise, £60 match day tickets, flight costs, hotel costs and the fact that they earn a sweet mother load of cash every month yet pay thousands of quid EVERY DAY on interest payments because of the huge loan they took out to buy our club.
So yeah, the Glazers owe us fans who have stuck by them! I never did the embarrassing Green & Gold campaign thing, it was pointless. I've actually stuck up for them Yank w*****s. And now we're finally seeing some investment!
I also had very expensive Man Utd tattoo done on my bum! The left cheek.
Now, I've answered your question - answer mine - Is it wrong that Manchester United spend their own money that they have earned themselves on new players?

For your sake, I hope the Glazers return the favor of your faithful support by lifting a cup soon. I can't believe you put it with it, honestly. It's been, how long... 16 months since you've seen a cup lifted? That must be unbearable--an interminable wait. And you buy the kits too.? It's such a thankless job being a United supporter, isn't it?

You still haven't answered my question!
Personally don't think it is, just confused as to why your team are chosing to spend such vast sums on the players/positions you are.

Oh, sure United can spend money on players. That's what clubs do. Some do it well, and some don't. I thought this discussion had devolved into what the club owes you, based on your years of faithful support. I hope you get a decent return for your investment, and also that the interest rate isn't unbearable.
His argument was that Man Utd fans spend a lot of money in the club which makes that club very rich and therefore it's only fair that that club spends that riches on making Man utd better at football.
That seems reasonable. If you pay more money for a season ticket than your rivals you should expect that extra money to show up on the pitch.
See the main complaints of Arsenal fans.

Hear, hear.
Now we are starting to understand the mentality of this RAWK chappie and, from what I can tell, the vast majority of a United fans.
Fifteen years he claims to have followed the team.
Fifteen long years in which he says he has spent a "fortune".
Depending exactly when in 1999 he started his expensive odyssey around England, Europe, Infinity and beyond he would have seen them win the European Cup twice, reach the final once and lose, win around nine or ten EPL titles and a bunch of F.A. and League Cups.
Plus the World Club Championship.
But he wasn't following Manchester United for the love of it.
No sir.....all this time he was making a financial investment and like any other investor in anything you care to name he "expects" a return.
He "expects" to reach the top four this season, he has posted that on this very thread. Ergo he is entitled to see his team spend a quarter of a billion quid on players and pay them God knows what in wages.
He doesn't care where this money comes from. After all, it is his money which has gone toward paying for the millions of replica shirts which are made in Third World sweat shops.
The sense of entitlement means that he will not tolerate any more than sixteen barren months so get the cheque book out Mr. Glazer and let the Red Devil take the hindermost
It is just incredible.
FWIW, I started going Everton in 1971 and have spent way more money than me laddo following my team, I would think.
The only thing I am entitled to is a full hearted effort from the lads when I go the game.
The only thing I expect is nowt......I go for the love of it.
When we win I am happy.....when we lose I am sad.
My grand old team owes me nothing.
Give me Everton Football Club over Manchester United PLC any day.
