Becks and Fergie have only just recently buried the hatchet. At the Euro celebration game he came out to address the crowd and Fergie was no where to be seen. When he trained with you they hadn't made up, that and he was probably in London anyway and had no intention of playing for you! 
 
He was recently seen at Carrington with Fergie whilst players trained.

The guys only regret is ever leaving us, he's done plenty interviews saying that he shouldn't have left etc 
 
Also, arsenal seem to let any getting on pro train with them, probably to help wengers little boys out, when have you heard of united letting anyone train with them?

People train with us because we have the best training facilities in the world.

If Becks goes to Spurs, I can only imagine him making appearances with 20 mins to go to whip some balls into the box. He won't replace Lennon on the right. Maybe he'll sit in for Palacios.

I'm glad we don't have the best training facilities in the world as it obviously means diddly squat when it comes to winning things.

it's true though. 
 
why bother winning trophies and prize money, only for it to go to pay off a tiny bit of your debt's? 
 
arsenal are always up there come the end of the season d they are getting the prize money for that plus cups competitions and don't have to use it to pay stuff off.

Because success isn't gauged on profit. Profit doesn't go down in history books. Profit doesn't fill trophy cabinets. 
 
I could go on.

Well that's one thing that separates us from City and Chelsea, all our spending is done with money generated by the club. We haven't got in to debt by spending outside of our means with sugar daddies. 
 
The debt is purely there because of the way the Glazers bought us.

I can't see the pleasure in running a club in huge debts to buy success, for a trophy or two. Especially when you realise your club is financially fucked.  
 
I'll take the wait for a PL/CL/cup trophy knowing when we do win one it will have been done on budget, by a club run in a ethical way.

But decisions have been made to sell the club to Glazers, for the supposed benefit of the club, which resulted in the debts.

Id be happy to have Becks sign, if only to teach Lennon how to cross it would be worth it

Crewe are also not in debt, and have a fantastic academy and training facilities, does this mean they're better than Utd as well?

That's how it works mate, so yeah.  
 
Luton are also debt free. All we have to do now is wait a bit and we'll deffo win the PL/CL.

So immature. This site gets worse everyday. Grow up people.  
 
Should realise when people say "owned" that I can't expect a decent discussion.
