Manchester United's season tickets sales have fallen for the first time in two decades.
Over 51,000 season tickets were sold for this season a drop of 2,000 for the same time in previous
seasons.
Although ticket sales are more than most clubs it seems United have been a victim of the credit
crunch.

Aston Villa released a statement via their official website last night to confirm that they have
appointed Gerard Houllier as their new manager. The Frenchman succeeds
Martin O'Neill, who resigned from the post five days before the Premier League
season was due to start.
Having just seen some of the incidents that took place at PAT Stadium on Saturday, I think that
Thai Port chief executive Khun Pichet Mankong will almost certainly be writing a cheque to the Thai
Premier League very soon. The TPL's disciplinary committee will surely take a dim view of a pitch
invader trying to have a pop at PEA's Suchao Nuchnum, as well as bottles and plastic cups being
hurled onto the pitch from the terraces - not to mention a bout of 'bitch slapping' between Mario &
Suchao that led to the main incident.
According to James Nursey at MirrorFootball, Aston Villa have begun new
contract talks with 25-year-old midfielder Ashley Young in the hopes of signing
him to a new deal to lure him away from interested teams, like Tottenham.
It is reported that Villa chief executive Paul Faulkner met with Young's
representatives this week.
According to The Telegraph, Arsenal have made a record £56million in pre-tax
profits and they have paid off all of their debts on the Highbury Square development. Arsenal chief
executive Ivan Gazidis said:
"The group has made good progress in the last year and I am excited by the opportunities we have
in front of us .
Genoa have struck back at claims being made accusing them of owing Portsmouth fees for
midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng.
Boateng made his way to Genoa before being loaned out to AC Milan. However, Portsmouth is
claiming that they are yet to be paid for the transfer fee.
An official complaint has now been filed and the Football Association will be contacting the
Italian Football Federation to get to the bottom of this all.
The Liverpool fans' group Spirit of Shankly-ShareLiverpoolFC has taken its first step towards
setting up a financial foundation for supporter-led investment in the club.
The society has teamed up with the Merseyside-based Partners Credit Union to provide a safe house
for supporters to save towards the goal of taking up a stake in Liverpool.
