dont know how one sided it was against Man Utd, but they basically said that the Glaziers raised the part of the money to buy Utd by mortgaging there American property portfolio, which is now in negative equity, and the rest they borrowed from the markets.so the whole thing was bought with borrowed money.

Sorry for them lot? Never!
For me the Glazers are just the 2010 version of Deadly Doug.
I tend to think that North American's such as the Glazers, Hicks & Gillette don't really appreciate the way that clubs/leagues in the rest of the world are run.They're used to the security of not having to worry about relegation, having some form of salary cap or revenue sharing, having a draft system to even out competition etc.Leagues such as the NFL, NBA and MLB are cash cows, where its virtually impossible not to make money (especially the NFL).Randy seems to be one of the exceptions to this. Maybe due to the time that he spent in this country when he was younger.
if Doug wasnt interested in football, or Aston Villa, now he has cashed in, why does he still attend most games, even in ill health ?
Quote from: "john e"if Doug wasnt interested in football, or Aston Villa, now he has cashed in, why does he still attend most games, even in ill health ?Deadly used to be on the Board of directors at Wolves and the Blose, before he landed at Villa. That doesn't strike me as someone particularly interested in Aston Villa. OK i admit he has probably nurtured an interest in football over the years, but only in the same way that we all have about the job we do.He only attends most games because he gets in for free, and he loves looking at his own name in big letters.What great deeds did HDE do for Aston Villa? About the same as the Glazers have done.
