Evening all.

2 points- 1 - Utd's share price has been dropping like a bomb over the last 3wks and for some reason this afternoon has made a remarkable recovery. As we are linked to the share index could be news of new signings hitting the stock markets over in America and the markets reacting.

Thought I'd go with the positive news first!

2- Gutted this afternoon. I've been holding onto the Ronnie coming home deal but after this afternoons story running in Madrid think we can put that to bed. Ronaldo has joined the campaign to get the Olympic games in 2020 in Madrid. he is one of the main stars that has joined the campaign and it was launched yesterday with Ronaldo very publicly backing this bid. He has signed up to help them with the bid just like Becks did for us so he isn't going to commit to that and then move to Manchester is he? Really Gutted but a move home just doesn't seem likely. Running story on MARCA English version. He wouldn't have been involved in this launch yesterday if he was leaving any day would he?

Sob sob sob.

And now the end is near and we face the final curtain. etc etc.

Pint please!

Matt.

You do realize Beckham was living in LA when he was involved with The olympic bid so where you live has very little to do with it. What you get paid has quite a lot to do with it :)

Beckham didn't live in London when fronting Olympic bid nor did he play in england backing world cup bid. IMO this is irrelevant.

I don't know what stock price you are watching but if you back exactly 3 weeks from today Man United is up 4%. Even going back another week it's roughly even. Starting on July 1st the opening of the transfer window the stock is up 6.9%. Possibly you have already had enough pints I you can't see that

Good post.
I think Ronaldo wants to be a mirror image of Beckham where his image is concerned hence his involvement with the bid.
He will have been well advised as to how to best utilize his final years at the top and where he needs to be to maximize his potential . Be interesting to see how much his image rights have generated at Madrid in comparison to United.
Share price - there has been really only ONE transfer that United have been pursuing and it is to bring Ronaldo back. It is what Fergie hinted at and probably the reason why share prices increased earlier. Complicated, yes but what United need to regain some financial stability

You need to learn the average dip price and share ratio mate then you would understand how share prices work.

The utd stock has dropped at regular intervals for the last 20days and today was the first increase starting at 0.06% with a peak and consistant rise.

Boring I know. but its my job.

If it is your job, remind me never to come to you for financial advice. United's shares have been climbing fairly steadily for the last 10 days, and have climbed overall over the last 2 months. They dipped about a month ago. Pretty much they've been following market performance. The only thing that hit them hard was SAF's retirement; what's happening now is just bounce back.
