United thread 2019/20

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

Or maybe "swap shopper"?

 

[dadnlad]

come on it's part of the master plan pep leaves city rags are ready to pounce

 

[Gordyola]

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

Looks like the De Gea to big club sailed along time ago and he knows it, he probably has an option in his contract that any player getting more than him entitles him to a new contract so, the rags have no option

 

[Big Swifty]

He stops shots cos so many opponents shoot at his legs, for some reason.

He does have nice legs :O

Bloody predicted text lol

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.

You think they'll get it right ? I'm more likely to wager it'll be 5 out of 5 ;-)

Think rags might rise to the occasion in their big derby...but go out on penalties.

 

[sir baconface]

Cast your minds back. Our dream scenario was for Noddy to come in and so so well they simply had to appoint him. Then spend the next year (or however long it takes to rumble and sack him) repenting.

Oh fcukin joy. Even a top manager would have huge trouble turning round this tanker load of shite. And OGS is most definitely not a top drawer manager. Nice man but just a no-mark spouting trite slogans.

Another year or two years down the shitter for the rags.

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!

Woodward’s given each appointee a shit load of money. Which they have spunked in order to keep moving in reverse.

 

[sir baconface]

Take comfort in the fact that Fergie is sat on the sidelines watching this shit show play out.

Genuine question. Why isn’t baconface (don’t call him Fergie, please) advising them on the strategic football side?

Or maybe he is/has and has just lost the plot.

Always thought it would be the Klopp Klopstopper

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...

Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity.

It is a good point, an angle the Glazer's are seemingly blind to, at least to a degree. Eventually though if Woodward is not the ultimate boss, you have to look at who is and why they do not act. You could say he is pulling the wool over the Glazer's eyes in some ways. Before the figures released with the shareholders stuff were announced i thought everything was looking rosy, financially, for them. That said they are selling some shares i believe with no voice on the board to fix that cash flow issue.

If it were me i'd be looking exclusively at the Glazer's i think.

Could be a big upset tomorrow night. Utd might win.

I repeated this in front of four colleagues, including two rags, this afternoon.

Neither of them was amused, funnily enough.

I’ve wondered this as well. I could see LVG and Jose ignoring him, but you’d think Moyes and Ole wouldn’t have as huge egos. Seems either he’s out of it or he’s out of it.

Well he’s certainly been caught thieving doughnuts from shops

The day to day stuff isn’t quite what I meant. Despite not being on the board, I would have expected him to be performing a de facto part time Director of Football role, and certainly be advising Woodwoodwoodwood on managerial appointments. Can you see him sitting in the stands as an uninvolved observer?

If so, he’s lost his touch.

I see that Phil the Face ‘he’s getting sacked inthe morning’ has once again been included in u****d’s special needs group of players who take part in the minor trophies. Splendid. The next England captain iirc. In other news wasn’t it an absolute pleasure to see Tom Zidane Cleverly complete 90 minutes on Satutday. A finer ‘give and go’ merchant you will never see in the premier league. How i love his short lay offs before bombing up the pitch at 1,000 miles an hour to receive the return pass - except no ones going to pass to him on account of him being the most pointless footballer since Titus Bramble. To be fair he has since realised that his team mates are now under strict instructions never to pass to him and so these days he spends his time bossing the centre circle but only of course when the play is in the final third. Surprisingly when the action is in centre mid tHis particular cock womble likes to hug the touch line.
