Thought it was going to be Rio, especially as he has his finger on the pulse.

As I said, the lack of a technical director...

Turned more corners than a merry-go-round, that lot

They shouldn't be this bad but they are, they didn't rebuild properly they tried to buy success even after telling us that it was impossible to do. Unless they decide that they will have to take a few years to build even to get in the same ballpark as us they'll fail year on year.

Does anyone know how much sponsorship revenue they'll lose due to another season without Champions League qualification?

They stand to have their Adidas money slashed by 30%.

Looking at the rags team and players its unbelievable what there wage bill is.

I see the rags are still showing Thomas Cook as one of their sponsors. Eddie Two Planks had better get on a plane and secure an Indonesian Official Toilet Paper Partner pronto.

And what it will grow to once they have signed up the likes of J-Lingz to longer deals :-)

Which is why they need to be out of the Europa ASAP, or it’ll be a flukey route to the final again for whomever takes over from Ole.

I find it slightly strange they blame Woodward, or more accurately why they blame him. The chap is for filling his duties that he was hired for. I wonder do reds actually believe the Glazer's are pissed off with him? They are not stupid, they know full well the model they have and what it would do to the club on the pitch. You can't blame the bloke who is doing his job well. He is simply executing the Glazer's orders really. He will run his ideas past them, they give the nod, i assume with reasonable confidence.

I may be wrong but i doubt it is to far from "keep utd a healthy attraction for sponsors, make us lots of money" coming from the Glazer's direction. That said, it is not hard, just show sponsors how many chans in the world utd air on and the amount of people who will see their noodles advertised. Their attractiveness is largely still an effect from when they were successful, an 'easy sell' so to speak.

I can see that starting to drop off a fair bit this very season though. As we know, there is no sentiment in business, companies will drop them like a hot rock and look for more attractive vehicles to promote their wares. They have been a stocking filler of a team for to long now, the bounce back companies will have hoped for is just that now, a hope.

As fun as it is to laugh at Woodward, their anger and frustration is misguided. Long live the Glazer's business interest in Utd!

They weren't complaining when they were stealing players like Pogba, Fred, Sanchez and Maguire from "under our noses"! hahahahaha

Aubameyang and Lacazette will be rubbing their hands at their back 4,IMO.

And Rashford will be rubbing his hands at the 250k he's gonna get for launching free kicks into the car park.

Can't see that taking off

 

[Oh YeahOh Yeah]

Phil the face should give up football ( I think he almost has ) and go into mime comedy, where he just pulls facial expressions, he would be a riot.

The new Phil Cool.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

I think their fans anger should be saved for their players, who are currently stealing a living. You can blame coaching methods, formation etc,
but most of them look like they've never seen a football.

Next thing you will be telling us is that they have.

on MUTV next week under gagging orders

It's OK Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs will be in it in February.

Interesting topic mentioned by John McDonald at the Labour Party Conference today. In praising Anneliese Dodds for her work on tax avoidance and tax evasion he said she "has found the 'magic money tree' in the Cayman Islands and is digging it up and bringing it home". It would be beyond hilarious if as a result the rags were ever exposed as serial tax cheats.

I'd pay to watch and laugh at him.
