He's still taking his sacking well then?

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Have to keep them relevant somehow. Yesterday was having Usain Bolt finally playing at the swamp on their actual news page, as if that is news

Given the way they treated him he’s been quite restrained.

Oh I don't know. No different to how they've treated every other manager not called Ferguson in the last half century...

Here is the article detailing the stuff about Pogba unhappy and Sanchez was a waste of cash...

Oh come on now, aren’t you forgetting the ushited way!

That IS the Ushited way. The GPC was the exception as he won major trophies, just like Busby did.

Far be it for me to defend the Rags but Louis is full of praise for the bosses at Bayern and seems to have left the bit out about them being jailed for fraud and tax evasion. I don't think Bayern can be held up as a bastion of ethics in world football.

Karl Heinz must have sold him a cheap ‘kettle’.

Racist!

 

[VOOMER]

Racist!

Nah, don't think any one called Racist played for Bayern.

So, we fly out on the 8/4 (Sunday) and was expecting to miss the Derby.
Delighted it's now Saturday evening(7/4), but I read that depends on CL games?
What could that mean, Friday night?

Sunday.

 

[citytilllidie]

Sunday.

With CL Tue or Wed?

 

[Barcon]

With CL Tue or Wed?

I think the idea is that it might be moved to Sunday if neither of us play champs league on Tuesday.

I think I read somewhere the 2 Sunday games are already picked. But the Saturday lunchtime slot was left alone. Happy to be corrected

It seems there is truth to the article a couple of pages back referencing utd chiefs displeasure with their finances being squeezed by Mourinho's transfers. In order to fund more this summer they are knocking the idea of adding more seats etc on the head. The article also notes how from the view of those in the know about all these things is utd are ligh years behind us in corporate hospitality. We have it all at our feet with the land and stadium, utd are stuck and not inventive.

To be fair it is from Mike Keegan who covered utd at the MEN, not only covered them but poured cream on them and licked every last bit off their choccy starfish. If he is not red then he is certainly sympathetic to them. So i am confident this and the other article are a true current reflection of their situation.

But in fairness TCIB every aspect of that club bar revenue is miles behind us. Their ground is old and tired and in some need of a revamp. Their academy is not fit for purpose. Their training facilities are a long way behind ours. Their corporate hospitality as you say lags behind ours, especially when it comes to things like the tunnel club. And the team is 13 points behind us (with a game in hand).

It actually makes you wonder what they do with all that extra revenue.
