And that’s why people need to not take Twitter posts in isolation sometimes. That Twitter post came after he wrote this about Ronaldos return
“Nostalgia is a beautiful thing and it may well sustain United and Ronaldo through the next two years of their relationship but it is unlikely to be the signing that lifts United to the title.
It is an admission of defeat, too, because it is a symbol of a club that still cannot let go of their glorious past”.
His point with the fatboy slim lyrics was that the club was already playing up to exactly that narrative to have a song like that played. It’ll paper over cracks and get the fans on board and from time to time Ronaldo will win a match for them, but that’s it.
Exactly. Nicely takes the pressure off the Glazers and reminds them of happier times, when they were successful. Kay called it in his article, when he signed, and the song choice, adulation after the match, illustrated the point in his article.
