Is it ManUre’s turn?

Following on from Northern Rock plunging into crisis and being bailed out, then XL biting the dust, it seems that AIG is being rescued by the US government as people cash in their policies at a vast speed. AIG sponsor ManU, and it would be quite amusing to see the World’s Biggest *****Club (c)(tm)(r) wearing a shirt with no sponsor’s logo on it for a while.

Mind, I don’t see any jokes floating around as there were when our sponsor nearly went belly up. Given that the press is based in London with the rest of the hard core Man U brigade, this perhaps isn’t so surprising.

In fairness, even if AIG does flop I can’t see Man U joining us and West Ham in having their manager walk out.
