Buy Man U, not Liverpool

This is a sports’ streak 99 is on right now, so be kind. News of the hour demands it. Besides, everything else I have to say – from economy to Oh!Bummer - is dour.
The GMR group, which owns the Delhi Daredevils IPL side, are in talks to buy Liverpool.
This will be a mistake. I estimate one out of every three Indian football fans is a Manchester United supporter. Man U need a sponsor after AIG pulled out. Also, Man U is a global club. Liverpool is more Brit than London and Indians will never be welcome there.

Before buying any club, we should first learn to breed our own in the game.
Counterthought - Since India has no hope in world football, the only way we can get a foothold in is if we buy clubs.
