I thought that. I know United's debt is huge. However, though it is worrying, it isn't in immediate need of restructuring like Liverpool's is.

I don't have a clue. I thought that they wouldn't be able to refinance the loans, which means they would have to sell, but it seems they have so they'll probably wait another year to see if they can get a better offer, and wait for the global market to improve. I think most of our potential buyers were waiting right until the end of the deadline for the refinancing, so they could force the owners to sell on the cheap, but it seems that hasn't worked.

I read somewhere Gillett could be selling the Montreal Canadiens, or that he's sold them, which would put him in a better position to run us, but I remember about 6 months ago that Gillett definitely wanted out of us, so I'm not really sure what's going on.

I hope they leave soon, there has been zero progress made with the new stadium, despite them being here for two and a half years.

I read the interview with Villa after yesterday's game, and he said I know where I want to play, and I've told my agent to make it happen. Or something like that, there was no club mentioned, but I turned on SSN this morning and Marca were saying he said he wants to join Madrid. Wouldn't surprise me if he does want to go there, but we all know what the press are like for jumping to conclusions.

Well, most stadiums get used for things other than football, especially the newer ones (such as concerts, events and the like). Sure it's a case of the clubs saying when their ground is free and the fixture monkeys go with that.

I know Goodison isn't one for them, but Eastlands is, probably why we're there when we are :)

Irrespective of how a stadium is used in the off season doesnt it have to be available once the season starts?
