TICKING TIME BOMB
It's good to see one newspaper ( well rag ) that seems to be unconvinced by the Glazers statement that United are not for sale. Top marks to MUST for getting themselves into the news too.

FC United appear to have hit the big time, appearing in the Washington post

I agree with most of that, although Abramovich looked happy enough with the dull football his team played, for the two seasons previous, when his teams were winning. So i wouldn't totally discard the rich spoilt brat angle. What still amazes me though, is that Mourinho didn't leave last summer. I was going to say one one or the other didn't leave, but it is Abramovich's club, and the only thing i can see that would entice him to get rid of Chelsea are events in Russia. I can't see Mourinho being there next year though, even if they won the champions league. In fact maybe that is what Mourinho is hoping for, so he can then stick two fingers up at Abramovich and Kenyon as he walks off into the distance.

Seriously though, i don't know if we should be afraid of him, but we should definitely be wary of him. And should not cosy up to him, as some western politicians have. What Schroder the former chancellor of Germany has done, was unbelievable really.
