2011 Annual Financial Board Meeting Review:
Old Trafford
2nd July 2011
Sitting in the boardroom for the fourth year running, listening to these Yanks ******* up my beloved club with their bold and frankly ludicrous attempts at trying to ensure the club has a stable financial future and avoid being bought out by the ever present Red Knights, I finally could not hold my tongue any longer!
"Are you ******* serious? Why do you feel the need to take out these massive loan's that the club cannot afford the monthly repayments on? If you took the time to actually give a **** you will see that the figures indicate we are only generating around half of that through corporate investments, merchandising and gate receipts. We cannot allow ourselves to dig a deeper grave in the hope of winning the League or the Champions League each year for the next seven years in order to alleviate some of the pressure and offsetting this loan! It is not financially sound approach and if you continue to apply it, we are going to inevitably end up like the States, ****** and in huge debt due to poor decision making and this ignorant gun ho approach you have been implementing since taking over"
The Glazer family and the rest of the board nearly shat in their favorite underwear from the outburst, sitting dead still in their seats, as if literally glued to the leather! A few moments later, after they had all picked up their dentures from the mahogany desk and ensuring that they had not actually shat themselves Malcolm looked at me and said, "Jackson Michaels, what do you propose then?"
