Manchester United's new logo.: To celebrate their treble season -- where they finished third in the league, lost an FA Cup final that they completely dominated, and were saddled in millions of debt by their new owner -- Manchester United goes for the quadruple play with a new insignia. Or something like that.

They have gone from a team that i felt indifferent about to a team that i hope gets relegated to the second division in two years then disappears forever...

I've always felt that way about them. Next season should really be interesting.

Just goes to show how differently people will react to the same event because I'm more inclined to support the team now. I'm thrilled that Liverpool won the CL but the complete player/staff turnover and the three botched negotiations to sell the club or bring in significant new investment have me less attached than 12 months ago. If StevieG leaves the only two players I'll be emotional towards from 24 months ago are Hyypia and Riise.

Welcome to the American sports franchise boys. Run the team into the ground and then sell!

Anyone got any glee? I need to rub my hands.
