United Thread - 2023/24

For all the Utd fans saying their money and success was achieved entirely within the applicable rules of the time:

Utd's sugar daddy was floating on the stock exchange. The financial returns expected of Stock Market companies were against FA rules, so United, (like Tottenham Hotspur before them), bypassed those rules by forming a holding company, Manchester United plc, and floating that.

Also they have done many off the books sweeteners to get players. Busby organised the purchase of a house for Duncan Edward’s parents. This was done to persuade him to sign for United rather than his local team, Wolves, who he had been associated with previously.

Then Busby arranged for 16 year old Peter Lorimer's dad to be given a brown envelope containing £5,000 to sign for them, (in the early 60s that was 10 times the average annual industrial wage!). After he insisted he wanted to join Leeds, his dad handed it back.

When Ryan Giggs signed his mum had her house fully kitted out with white goods.

When Nicky Butt signed his dad drove out of OT in a brand new Mercedes etc...

And every rule change about redistribution of revenue has benefitted The Rags such as stopping the sharing of gate receipts and the way broadcasting money has been shared since the formation of The Premier League.

The bit about Nicky Butt certainly isn't true as a knew his Dad Terry. Nicky was always at ushited as all the family were reds. I don't ever recollect Terry running about in a Merc.
 
It's amazing to hear their manager say how exciting utd have been this season.
They have smashed an incredible 52 goals,wow, 3 more than Luton town who are in the bottom 3 relegation places as we speak...

That alone proves the manager is talking bollocks.

A goal difference of plus 1........compared to City s goal difference of plus 50...mind the gap.

It's one thing having a terrible manager,... but when he talks deluded nonsense in public .. it's all a bit embarrasing.
Any true utd fan should hang their head in shame all summer.

A team going ....Nowhere Fast.
