United thread 2019/20

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Mario Manduzkic are they at the point where we were when we were bringing in Didi Hamann and Andy Cole. It’s looking hopeless for them at the moment.

Is this a throwback to you backstage on Supermarket Sweep?

When Dale was on the National Lottery it was the only time I thought I was gonna win. Never did, but it's been belly up ever since!

Still winning trophies off the pitch.

Manchester United enjoyed a record year despite the club’s ongoing problems on the pitch. The club announced financial results for the 2019 fiscal fourth quarter and twelve months ended 30 June 2019. The club had record revenues of £627m last year an increase of 6.3%. But the Old Trafford outfit warned that revenues are likely to fall next year due to the lack of Champions League football. The club had pre-tax profits of £27.5m up form £25.8m despite a campaign which saw them fail to qualify for the lucrative Champion...

He'll be too drunk to even comprehend what's going on around him. Every time the cameras zoom in on him sitting there he looks confused and bewildered, gazing towards the pitch unsure of exactly what he's supposed to be watching.

And that's before kick-off.

In the last quarter their shares absolutely tanked.

Am I reading this correctly? They have income of £627m but only made a profit of £27.5m? How are they going to afford Pogbad doubling his wages out of that?

"With traditional rivals Manchester City and Liverpool setting the standard in domestic and European football, the United hierarchy have noted how at Anfield, in particular, they have arrived at their status after rebuilding behind the scenes and backing manager Jurgen Klopp during the German's difficult first 18 months in charge."

"And sources with knowledge of the club's plans have told ESPN FC that the "patience" of the United hierarchy extends to the belief that the so-called "cultural reset" cited by Woodward last season will require three full seasons, and accompanying transfer windows, before the mistakes of the post-Ferguson years can be properly rectified"

Oh my god....please tell me this means they are sticking with those two clowns for two more seasons. This is the best thing I've read in ages.

Oh good, City didn’t rebuild of course, we bought our titles probably.

Are they sanctioning them not challenging till 2022. That is the case already. Now they are just giving it their approval.

Can you imagine how next summer's transfer targets are going to react to this.

"Look lad, you're a world class player, don't go to City or Madrid, come to United we'll be competing in 2-3 years time, you won't even be 30!"

Status is still no Premier league title for 30 odd years, we will all drink to that if the rags copy that idea.

I have a feeling this is a way for them to definitely not get turned down by the class of player who wanted nothing to do with them this summer.

Well even then, good luck keeping Pogba. I wonder if they told De Gea about this before he signed his new deal. Oh Dave, by the way, we're still going to be shit for 3 of these 5 years.

 

[give it to gordon]

If De Gea is the worlds best ( he's just a stop stopper) why would you sign a new contract at utd ? Apart from lack of ambition and a big pay cheque.
You would want to go to a big club and win things, but I guess if no big clubs are after you why not sign a new big contract. Than again if no big clubs are after you, why did utd offer such a big contract lol

 

[marco]

without looking at their squad i wonder how many players will have failed to make the grade or indeed be over 30 in 3 years time,so then their going to have to have another 3 year transition period to replace those

Don’t forget they’ve got the worlds best second keeper in Romero, with that sort of competition for places, it’s no wonder they are where they are now.

Where would you go to learn how to stop stops?

I think he meant "shop shopper" or, possibly "slop slopper".
