Why Not a New Trafford?

 It bothers me and eats me up that Old Trafford is not hospitable, nor is it able to be the centerpiece of English Soccer. As a Lifelong Middle American who grew up with the Manchester United being on my TV for Summer Vacation, it is not OK that Old Trafford is an Afterthought.

There is not a lot of room in Manchester and that creates problems in Expanding the Grounds or Breaking New Ground. A lot of us Manchester United Fans either only know the Team from TV and don't really know the history behind the things.

I'd like to see a way to Replace Old Trafford and I'd know it won't be easy, given that the history of Manchester United is immense. TV notices that the things that lose the luster of Trafford, namely it being in a Bad Area of Manchester, that is easier to notice over time.

I'd Rather Lasso Manchester City than Watch Ted Lasso

 As a Manchester United Man, I would rather Lasso Manchester City than Watch Ted Lasso. In all seriousness, I'd love Manchester United, hate Manchester City and really want my Sitcoms back.

In all seriousness, I feel a guilt for being Overexposed and we worked hard on not being Overexposed. 

I would think that  if you'd ask a Manchester City Man, you'd get the same feeling the Other Way.

In this World, I would feel happier if Manchester United stood for Financial Conservativeness and Fair Play.

Exploring the Problems of a Supporter Owned Manchester United

 I feel if there is not a true United Front, that would cause a problem. If the Football Association had to hear about umpteen Manchester United Owners coming out of nowhere, that would be a problem. We'd realize Old Trafford couldn't just be a Field of Dreams forever, and I don't think there would be people who'd have money that would have money otherwise run things.

Finding a Single Owner, particularly with a United Kingdom Principle, would be tougher. Manchester generally has a habit of being reticient when things are more settled in and that is a problem.

The difficulty would be having to Fundraise between a New Trafford and having to fight actual Supporter Splinter Clubs either in the Premiership or to stay in the Premiership. Manchester United came in as a Stabilizer in a time that was needed.

The pyramid collapsing would worsen Supporter Behavior and make England an International Laughingstock and a Homecoming Date for a Decade. If I was News, I would have a bigger responsibility than just being a Blogger.

I don't know if a Supporter Run United would help make easier for Manchester United to play in my City, and it would help if it was RAGBRAI in Cedar Rapids to woo Manchester United to Veterans Memorial Stadium rather than make it another Bring Someone to Town or School.

Why Not Have a Supporter Owned and Operated Manchester United?

 I hate Manchester City and I pull no punches the restorer of the English Football Pyramid and the Soccer Pyramid, Manchester United and Old Trafford is getting neglected. I feel like wanting to see Manchester United be the Green Bay Packers and I feel the turbocharging of Soccer Budgets has done no favors.

I really, really am concerned about Manchester United as a Global Citizen, American Citizen, Universal Citizen and a Sportsman. I wouldn't want to spend my hard earned money to actually spend time at Old Trafford or its future ground and see the Health Department ride the Glazers's Case as they are closer to the exit than Back to Back with the Buccaneers.

I really think we can't pivot both Office Money Donations ($25), $200 Pyramid Donations and Big Money Donations all at once, which would be the cause of and not the solution to life's problems. The Glazers started the Gimmick Theme Park Stadium in the NFL and with retaining Old Trafford as a Sportsman's Park, which is great, their real hex on their family is throwing money at these players to make up for Sir David Beckham.

A lot of these clubs are clubbier and riding off on Manchester United's Coattails. It is terrible and I wish there would be a literate discussion with having to throw money at Manchester United Facilities, especially here in their Biggest International Market, the United States of America.

Real Madrid and Barcelona do not have in roads as aggressive in the United States of America. The clubby behavior has only gotten worse since the years after Sir Alex and it makes me mad that you can't just do anything without doing the book work. If you where poor or ethnic and tried to get away with what these influencers got away with, it would be a bigger problem.

Obviously, I wouldn't want an Airport Stamp on my Passport for Free as Pensions are akin to Insurance as we can't be throwing free money to anyone.

The Glazers Manchester United Anger will rub off on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

 The whole story with the Glazers Manchester United Ownership was out of response to the Previous Ownership Group being Outfoxed by Real Madrid over Sir David Beckham it was not just Manchester United not keeping him, it was England. The wheels on the Manchester United bus have been falling off since Sir Alex Ferguson all over town.

Without Manchester United being on the ESPN or ESPN 2 on Tape Delay, there would have been no Major League Soccer. The reality is I hate Manchester City not because they are Manchester City, but because of their secretive, reclusive Middle Eastern Ownership.

The Glazers are more of a "Too Much of a Good Thing" kind of Owners and the Paper Planes Route is going and going like Chicago Traffic. Actually, Manchester United has been the city like Valdosta or Massillion.

I don't want to tie up stories on the phone here, because I am more awkward than Charlie Brown, and Massillon's Problems came up on my real Birthday in 1985 and that was a major National News Story.

Valdosta's Saga was where they'd turned their back to their lone State Championship Coach Since 1999 and Rush Propst dogged his way back into the scene like no one wanted him. Nub Nelson is like the guy who became Valdosta Touchdown Club President who couldn't hold down a job, but found a way to be the Touchdown Club President and still talks about Valdosta within an earshot and tells you who is on the right side of the Civil War.

Those things are not happy or new. Valdosta does not work the same if most of the Graduating Seniors are not Georgia Bulldogs. The lapse in judgment is crippling and those people work hard for their Valdosta Memorabilia they'd spend what little money they'd make getting.

I feel the Manchester United anger will rub off on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because the whole Jameis for Brady angle was uncalled for and I feel the confusion around the league is unprecendented and most of us are not league people.

Americanizing the Beautiful Game is Still Too Much of a Good Thing

 I feel other people would already say this, but, Americanizing the Beautiful Game is Still Too Much of a Good Thing. I don't think Local Ownership had been necessarily as transcendent to Manchester United as much as Soccer getting on the Good Side with most Americans on ESPN/ ESPN 2 in the 1990s and 2000s, but, I really feel the Glazers burnt too much of a Good Thing.

It is all apart of the Brady Cycle that would have spared the Buccaneers from a lengthier hex over Jameis Winston and their Playoff and Playoff Win Hex was already lengthy. Instead, we are quaff that winning the Super Bowl at Home became too much of a good thing instead of a Superior Home Field Throughout the Playoffs to the Super Bowl.

Denting a Trophy Battle with a Stadium Invasion really is bad. I feel this has became an 8 Year Frat Party that has gone on too long and all my ladies would have kids, husbands, boyfriends or just regular old get tired of the bull.

I wouldn't go as all in as Jim Acosta with having to openly unbleeped saying a key phrase on The News, CNN, not the Spin Zone or any of the other clones, because I wouldn't want to risk hitting a Family or Kinda Family Show, but, I feel they'd have to Stop the Bull from getting aired around like it is not everywhere.

We already have a childish if not immature approach at Professional Soccer and Megan Rapinoe is challenging in a matter Pele has not challenged. Our immaturity toward Soccer is who is there, not the investment or the interest even.

Manchester United's International Television Ratings where so well known it led to an Early MLS Powerhouse in DC United.

Why Manchester United getting advanced on in Ownership?

I feel madness when the Manchester Derby have equal and equally indifferently wealthy owners. I feel a real sense of shame when its my people, but, not my money.

And, it'd be too easy to go off, as I feel the middle of Diversity Ethics is Character. And, we where railed a Brooks,Dunn, and Reba worse with Florida, Georgia and Bebe and she got the "Beth" Credit at the chagrin of 1st Shift America. I feel like with all these people, it is embarassing to see the outage of discipline through both sides of Manchester and Real Madrid.

I don't mind being Young and Hip unless we safe and secure. And, I hate being mindless when we can't do anything due to standards and ethics and it'd be the line between how McDonald's, Burger King, Carl's Jr./Hardee's keep their systems well.

It is not quite no bounce back, but, I feel like having to rehub New York City like J. Cole would have refortified everything in the Bigs and I hate missing Love in this era.

I feel like the Glazers are seeing Dodge City in Manchester United and these sales advances only get worse, not better.
