Why not? His reputation is down the toilet.

Might as well sell for a good price.

He comes off as a guy that just doesnt care just like the Glazers. I will say that out of all the owners involved in the Super League Kroenke would be the one feeling the heat the most imo so we will see what happens.

Kroenke is a rat. Guy bailed on St. Louis (Rams), just so he could make a quick buck. He has proven over time that money & business comes first.

I think the Glazers actually care. They just don't have a clue how to run a successful club. Until Tom Brady came aboard, their NFL team (Bucs) was bad for the most part. Before last year, they didn't qualify for the playoffs since like 2003/04. Again, clueless.

It took FSG some time to figure things out themselves. John Henry said that when they took over Liverpool, they really had no idea what they we're doing & what it took to run a successful club in England. I think this is the case for most outsiders (American owners).

Kronke married into Walton money and seems to be spending his wife's fortune on collecting franchises.

Given how franchise values have exploded over the past decade or so, those investments have all paid off handsomely. Unfortunately.

Well it remains to be seen if the huge new stadium complex will be profitable in LA.

They will have fans for the first time in the fall but they were developing a lot of commercial and residential real estate around it I thought.

Can those be doing well with the economy shrinking? Though the economy is expected to bounce back hard if vaccines do control the pandemic.

So Liverpool or Manchester tomorrow?

I reckon a draw but for Leicester maybe a Manchester win would be better.

So, utd fans acting like maniacs. Great message to send... A message to the owners? lol.

If the game can't be played today, Liverpool should be awarded a 3-0 win.

What message? The Glazers are on the other side of the Atlantic. They're not seeing any of this. :wink:

Well it's on TV.

But the Glazers are probably chuckling while wolfing down caviar and quaffing champagne.

With the entire Super League fiasco, led in part by the Glazers, I can understand the total disconnect from the fans. It doesn’t justify acting like buffoons but it sure would be nice to get ownership back into the hands of an English/Manchester Ownership group.

but there is a hypocrisy going on with the fans. They want 50+1 but the same time they want the best players in the world. Well, with 50+1 that's improbable to happen.
Nobody is protesting against Sheikh Mansour, and he has bigger moral issues compared to the Glazers. It's all about money and that includes the fans as well.

a bunch of thugs and low-lives. I am curious how many of them are season ticket holders, you know, people who are actually supporting the club with their wallet

Are you a paid agent of the superleague?

I'd suggest to you that these are actual Manchester fans who were born and live in Manchester but you clearly know more from your distant pedestal.

I agree with what you say for the most part but hypocrisy doesn’t exist in fans...it’s why it’s called “fandom”. The disconnect between fans and Ownership is a real problem.

What does that have to do with super league?

Your logic is very flawed. I said I don't know if they are season ticket holders. I did not question if they are from Manchester or not. I am sure they are.
How are you so sure what kind of fans are they?

As I said in the other thread you have absolutely no understanding of European sports or their fans. Time after time you show the cultural divide where your sports world is ruled by business and money. You fail to understand the meaning of a "club" that's the C part of FC in Football but that's understandable as your life is based on the idea of Franchises. For example you accept that a team can be moved hundreds of miles from it's original base without any qualms. Clubs in England are about the supporters and the people of the area (whether they actually attend matches or not) The only time I can think of a club actually moving from it's home base in the last 50+ years is when Wimbledon moved 56 miles to Milton Keynes (partly due to the inadequacies of their stadium under new regulations). This wasn't accepted by most Wimbledon fans and so they created a new wimbledon team in wimbledon whilst the old team changed its name and had to create a new fan base.

Big win for Spurs yesterday. Could it come down to the final match of the season against Leicester?

This has 0 to do with what I said.
You seem to have a real comprehension issues so I will stop trying debating you.
Where the hell I even mentioned moving teams?
