Glazers bailing out of Man U? Wouldn't blame them. ;)

Let's see. Evening Mail? American investor? Probably mickmike's pledged a tenner to the u-18 camera fund and the Mail have decided to make a story out of it.

Forgive my cynicism, but if the Mail can't even report if a match is on or off correctly, then I'll believe this one when I see it (or hear it from a more reliable source).

I'll believe this one when the cheerleaders turn up and the burger van is swapped for a Wendy's.

Geoff Payne seems minted.

Is it him?

I thought he lived in Canada. It's definitely Mike Wilson.

Wonder what happened to the NDA? I suppose it could have had a time limit tied into it - three months or along them lines?
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Barrow AFC "fan" is the key part to this.

I suppose we may find out if this is the same person(s) that approached the BOD earlier in the season. It could be someone else entirely. There is a banner (currently) about a 3rd of the way down the NWEM website. A slightly modified version of that banner is the sum total of what is in today's paper. Holds breath...

Instead of American Dream - perhaps it should read American Pie (in the sky)! ;)
