Are they taking the piss with this line....

'United were not impressed by the outcome of their negotiations over Mina, walking away from what they regarded as prohibitive agents' fees which, if they had agreed to them, would have set a dangerous precedent for a player who is hardly in the world-class bracket.'

Already had mino's fees wiped from history i see.

And this one....

'Sir Alex Ferguson was ridiculed for saying there was "no value in the market" but United have to think seriously before adopting a "pay what it takes" stance.'

They've always paid over the odds as they were the only ones who could.

They were certainly happy enough to pay Raiola's agent fees for the Pogba transfer, so the precedent is already set!

BBC also forgetting that they also spunked £75M on Lukaku? Surely that is a case of 'Paying what it takes'
 
Utd have the audacity to brief against their own manager. I am sure they aren't going to fire their own manager so what do they seek to gain by this?

They do not have a Football Director but they are going against the footballing decisions of their manager.
 
Every fucking day they were getting a top player and every day it was splashed all over the news and web. Boateng, Mina, Peresic, Ronaldo, Bale, Maguire and on and on. Sky news camped outside the swamp yesterday as if no other club existed, and at the end who did they get? Plenty of gullible fucking numpties renewing their st's. What a fucking laugh i had.

Was it 41 million Euro’s in agent fees for Pogba? Of which they paid the majority.

Yep, they’re taking a stand!!!

Woodward’s just getting his own back to Mourinho’s, I gave him a list comments.

I’m surprised they did not give him one! Seems they are unsure he’s the right man.

What gets me with the "we didnt want him anyway" attitude by club and fans.why not just be honest? Everyone knows anyways.we lose a target like jorginho n say "oh well" its like the kid whos eaten the last cream cake n says "it wasn't me" with cream all over their face.

They don’t have a D of Football but I’m sure the United Board are reeling from that deal they did at Christmas which maybe behind their prudence this summer. Maureen bounced them into the Sanchez deal but on reflection it’s an idiotic deal that they really shouldn’t have done and in many ways that deal will be the beginning of the end for Maureen at United
 
Chatting with a rag yesterday and he has (along with every other rag he knows) very much come to the same conclusion as ourselves.
They are a commercial juggernaut but almost everything else is a shambles and he freely admitted City are leaving them behind

He even said "If you were a young player with a bright future, why the fuck would you choose united over anyone else!!"

Five years ago I told him what was going to happen and he scoffed and said "never"
 
Are the Scum making vast sums of money from their off pitch, commercial operations?

I believe they are.

So...

...in the eyes of their owners they are VERY successful and Woody Woodpecker is doing a brilliant job for them. I don't think they are in the slightest bit interested in the football side of the club.

I doubt if half of the Glazer mob even know the offside rule...

This is what Bobby Charlton would have been ranting about in an effort to stop the club appointing Jose. ..He knew what a mess utd would become with no youth policy to speak of,a miserable manager playing defensive football...with an ego far bigger than the club's reputation.
Of course Charlton was shouted down,had a stand named after him as a softner. ..and utd went ahead and appointed a man fresh out of a messy court case involving the humiliation (bullying? )of a female member of staff at his last club.
Classy appointment that.
Charlton. .you were right.
