Well its for that reason why utd are and have been so successful. The club has been run like a business. The club has been marketed correctly. Like the tours of the Far east, USA and south Africa for example. Do you think we went there cos sir Alex liked the look of a brochure? It was all a ploy to tap into 3 huge continents of people. Just like city and chelsea have finally picked up on recently. More fans equals more money. And all the haters can hate but at the end of the day we bought 30million pound players with money that we made through global marketing etc. Where would city be without the oil fella? And where would chelsea be without theirs? Relegation? N the later would be mid table.
I appreciate we do have glory hunters but so do chelsea. Youd have had more chance of seeing a pig fly than seeing a chelsea shirt round my end but now every man and his dog has one cos of Abramovich rocking up.
And whee i am from is 4miles outside manchester. The only fan in manchester it seems!
My reasoning for supporting them is watching Peter Schmeichel in the 92 euros. My 1st experience that i can remember of watching football. I was 7! My idol for many years. And i have a season ticket that my little brother is keeping warm for me.
