Shut up!
Why isn't FC United in the Football Forum?
- Thread starter RedCanuck
- Start date
POOOOOOOOOOOOps (sp) will be along later to give you a common sense answer to that laterRedCanuck said:

yeah it's a touchy subject though, you have to understand that anyone looking to get threads on FC United moved to a 'less public' place will be taken with suspicion, because lets face it any kind of publicity, even on a chat board will help FC United. So putting it in the 'football forum' where many united fans dont even bother going would be seen an endorsement of Glazer and a rejection of FC United.
Once FC United start playing games and stuff there will probably naturally be new bulletin boards relating to them anyway...

fair point there Zippy and even RedCanuck aggrees on that you must be good
Without it getting any more contentious...I have a question.
I'm behind supporting SU and applaud those that will follow FCUM exclusively. That's a hell of a statement to make about the club you used to love. I will follow both clubs, as much as being in the States with a TV and a PC allow and try to keep up my end of the boycott of United sponsors.
Now...that being said: What are the long-term aims of the FCUM bods? This club is formed from the ashes of what once used to be MUFC for some people...so they will go and set it up and follow them. When the Glazer era comes to an end and/or the FCUM folks have been appeased in some way to make them want to come back to United - what happens to FCUM? Last I heard...the intent was to integrate it into United and merge the two, whenever the time should come. Is this still the case? Or is FCUM intended to be a singular, long-term venture, no matter what happens with United? Because I think that probably best answers Canuck's question.
I'm asking because I don't know the answer. Any info would be appreciated.

See what happens if you make sensemickthered said:
FCUM is a very unfortunate contraction though.
The idea is that both clubs should merge somehow,TheDevil'sOwn said:
That is not to say that half of FC Uniteds team will end up playing at OT
They are looking that maybe FC united could become some sort of reserve side or feeder club for United
OK. Thanks, mick.mickthered said:
Seems that FC United threads should be in the United Forum. Like 26 mentioned, "unofficial club of MUFC." I can see where Canuck was going with the question, but I think that pretty much answers it. It's an independent club for disallusioned United supporters. Which still makes it about United.

United fans from Manchester will back FC United.
It's the way it is.
How ever much that pisses anyone off.
Manchester la la la

Good on you mate.

Oh it pisses off big time
Yes, i admire the stand. I just don't understand the connection to MUFC. If i decided to form a "breakaway"26 may 1999 said:
club in Stoke, and called them the 'FC Stokiereds United of about 30 miles from Manchester', would everyone applaud with admiration my stand, or would they laugh? I'm not mocking the new club, just waiting for someone to explain why, and what it will achieve.And i'm still waiting for an answer to a previous question, considering the new club is in protest to the Americans takeover, is the name of the new club a joke or an oversight?
Soccer
Club
United of
Manchester
It's more feck'em.
FCUM.
FCUM.

Yes, it's all now starting to make sense.
TheDevil'sOwn said:
That about sums it up we all want the best or what we all think is the best for United.
But the only problem is that every one thinks that their way is the right way or the only way.
FC United is also way of keeping alot of Still United fans together, who refuse to fund Glazer in any way, but who still want to watch live football.
Has also been said many times, that United fans are more the welcome to come along and watch if they want to.
After speaking to a lot of people, FC United is also going to give a lot of United fans who can not now watch United live at OT due to different reasons, lack of tickets, priced out of the game etc a way back into watching live football.
I know my kids and young cousins are all now really excited at the prospect of being able to watch live football on a regular basis
I will also be happy to take them as well at a price that I can afford
roxyfella said:
Amen to that
Spoony said:
The fear of Manchester United without ANY fans from Manchester is what scares people, the fear that without Mancunians there is no 'Manchester' united.
zippy said:
But the thought of a United without you is encouraging
.TheDevil'sOwn said:JCL OOT Yank Mancs Forever
Yank Manc.
That's got a good ring to it.
hmm, , ,, I have decided to give you Mancunian status.
You can call yourself a honourary Mancunian.
Well, if SAF can get an honorary degree. . .
zippy said:
But Zippy. This doesn't mean most FC United lads won't go to Old Trafford.
I see it this way. Lets make some cash out of this. And add to the Phoenix fund aswell.
Glazer goes bust. We buy a stake so no one can feck with us again.
Makes sense.
That's a completely quixotic ideal. It's far more likely that Glazer will pay off the debt and run off with a profit having re-floated the company.mickthered said:

I'll notify the authorities and sort out my work visa. Is the industry for late-20s wasters as strong over there as it is here? That's important to know before I make my next move.

We're booming mate. Manchester contributes the most to the economy outside of London. £47 billion infact. So, there's room for a late 20s waster no doubt. . .
I don't know how much that'll help though!
They're a different football club. They have as much to do with Manchester United as Liverpool do to Everton. This should be in the Football forum.
Why such an idiotic idea thenErn said:

Manchester la la la
Thanks for that, Spoony. It's all I needed to know.Spoony said:
Since you don't have a Disneyland, I figure I can bring some of America's magic with me. You have all the bad with Glazer and his greed (and Claudio Reyna
Short of that...I can always open up a pub, eh?
FCUM and Manchester United will never be one. Not if Glazer stays, not if Glazer goes. They're two different clubs and so it shall remain.mickthered said:
Don't be daft. City's a different club.Spoony said:
Well whats the reason apart from because you say soErn said:
There's nothing to show that the two will merge. The only event that something like this would ever happen, would be if supporters tookover Manchester United and any chances of that happening has been scuppered by people who sold their shares and invested in the Phoenix fund.mickthered said:

Since you don't have a Disneyland, I figure I can bring some of America's magic with me. You have all the bad with Glazer and his greed (and Claudio Reyna)...I figure you all could do with more of the good: Timmy Howard, J. Spector, Hollywood, trucks, and Mexican fast-food open 24 hours a day. My niche is in there, somewhere. Hand over fist, that money will come rollin' in. I'll have to learn the currency and the Northern terms and such...things like that, but I figure my fellow Mancs will have no problem showing me the ropes.
Short of that...I can always open up a pub, eh?
Hey, we've got 30 skyscrapers planned according to the MEN. Three are already in progress. That's a bit American!
Mexican food. We have a couple in Town, but yours would be more authentic and could work.
You'll catch the lingo, but from what I've seen, you know enough!
You'll pick the rest up in no time.Once you've developed the Mancunian strut, ie confident 10 man walk, with shoulders swaying and arms moving freely. You'll be there, and a fullyfledged Mancunian.
