Ah well time will tell... When Chelski resume business as Chelsea they will be the Shef Wed of the next decade and I will smile Until then for Man U - lets wait and see...
Whatever the outcome - SHU (as per the main thread purpose) is a waste of time and money IMO...

Not a waste of time or money for the people who set up SHU What will happen if their venture fails? They get to keep the money?

The fund will be maintained and they still wish to add to it. The view is that when Glazer's business plan fails and the debts become too crippling he will want out. when this happens the share price of the club will be rock bottom. They say one option would be to then buy as many shares as they could so the club is owned buy by the fans. This wouldn't be done with the money in the fund because it would be nowhere near enough but they have spoken to banks with regards to financing such a deal should it happen and they have got provisional backers for that eventuality. It's all pie in the sky for now but I think the people responsible have done a fantastic amount and I was proud to join up. At least they where prepared to do something and try and fight for the club they love. Even a few more so called 'fans' had done the same then Glazer may not be set to rape the club for all it's worth.

A bit of a turn around, Man U always being referred to as one of the richest clubs in the world, to now being one of the ones most heavily in debt.

This bloke will take United down of that I'm certain. Worst thing to happen to the club since 1958.
First link found on google..

If Glazer reaches 97.5 percent, he will have the right to squeeze out the remaining shareholders, a hard core of United fans who have vowed to fight the US financier to the last.

In a normal takeover the bar is 90 percent but because Glazer had such a high proportion of the shares before posting his offer document - 76.2 percent - he needs to get 90 percent of the remainder before the squeeze out can begin.
