not being a Public Limited club does not mean you can't get bought over. Both PLCs and Private clubs can be bought. The danger is, and this is not from a Man U fan standpoint, but as a football supporter stand point, is that this could spark a surge in takeovers. It is important to realise not all will be as successful as Chelsea's. The danger in the Glazer take over is that, as he is not a football fan, it's a business & will be treated as so, and if he doesn't get the results he desires he could collapse his debt into the club, sell it & move on without caring. I firmly believe that this is just the first in many takeovers that may flood top flight football by businessmen. My biggest fear to be honest, is the unknown. We just don't know what will happen. In a few years my view may change & I'll eat my words, but equally so, in a few years United to be Debt Wrecked & sold off. It's a wait-and-see from now as there is little left we can do. United may well survive a hostile takeover followed by a jump-ship but smaller clubs could fold. Just takes a businessman & a whim.

PS: Your last post was excellent Doc, proved to me you weren't just a blind hater.
