The link is my first article that I've ever written and I was lucky enough to get it published. I wanted to get everyone's opinion on the topic and the writing.

I think you are barking right up the wrong tree here, Mehmet Dalman is Manchester United mad, in fact he has 20% stake in the club and he played a role in the Glazers’ takeover! :thumbup:

I don't like blogs so didn't read but if we are to be United feeder club then I can think of worse positions.

I do think Eikrem and the rest of the new guys will come good. They're all fairly young still, and Macheda, if given the right motivation and guidance, can become a very decent PL striker, having an influx of ex Manchester United players have been good to Hull, I tihnk it can be good for Cardiff too!

Yeah I agree having players from one of the greatest teams in Britain over the last 20 yrs can't be a bad thing

i dont think he has any stake in united, because im sure under fifa rules you cannot have shares in a club, while being in a position of power at another club, i.e chairman of cardiff.

however being a feeder club to united would be great imo, as united are a global brand, and if we can use a special relationship to try and tap into some of the merchandising tricks they got we could earn a few bob or two.

also we could be granted "favoured" when going after a loan target from united, as they might prefer us to other teams.

I believe this has been covered before and IIRC Dalman sold his shares in Utd when the Glazers took over.

I'm not sure, maybe someone could do some digging and find out, however I am led to believe he is Manchester United through and through and is even a current season ticket holder. I'm also led to believe he was the backbone of the red rebrand changing the kit to manchester united colours, has anyone else heard this ?
