Their debt is great though. You have to give them credit for that.

8-)

You’re doing the lord’s work there my friend

 

[Octavian]

Nah the Scousers got there furst

The freaks try and make themselves the main character in every story and every topic.

If it isn’t 9/11, it’s that poor lad from Birmingham who was murdered by his parents.

They’re sick fucks Liverpool fans.

That looks like a poster for the shittest film ever.

[dadnlad]

We can guess.
Pogba, Martial, Lingard, Cavani, Rashford, Henderson, Ronaldo, Fernandes, Van D beek,

I can only think of 9 that want to leave or look pissed off and may want to leave.

I dont know and to be honest i do think united would make a little on top but i k ow the VAST majority of the money for the club is in the original deal.
but £550,000 a week is A LOT of shirts to sell regardless

Yes. So many people rattle on about shirt sales but the shirt makers pocket most money in the original deal.
Perhaps they also supply the letters too. Dunno. But there is a huge profit to be made between some poor worker getting paid a pittance in the Far East and fans actually buying them.

Blimey. Who'd have thought even 15 years ago that we'd be the consistently successful club in the city, winning trophies pretty well every season, managed by the best coach on the planet and winning games at the death. While they'd be the comedy club.

Perhaps we bought that famous 'united DNA' which explains why they can't seem to find it.

I can remember me my Dad and Grandad all watching the 5-0 and having a teenage strop saying my mates are gonna take the piss and it’s not fair they are winning loads and I will never see City win the league or probably anything
My Grandad was saying “ you bloody tell them I remember us stuffing them 5-6 on a few occasions “ and my dad getting angry with him saying “ that’s no good to him tomorrow is it, my Grandad saw us beat you in the 1920s “

I got quite emotional thinking about it the day we beat QPR as I was sat at the match with my dad and he was holding a picture of my grandad and their dog

Remember back to when we wanted Pep to start but he wanted a year off. Pellers was given an extended contract but everyone knew the score.
The players underperformed knowing Pellers wasn't going to be there long.
It's the same at the swamp now (yippee) They know he will be gone at the end of the season so why bother.
With Pep we had no choice, these clowns did but as usual they made the wrong one by not immediately appointing a full time manager.

I was trying to think of his name, Janusaz or something like that. Wtf happened to him, lol

scored against Sunderland and there was a media campaign to get his Nationality changed to English

Baffles the life out of me that so many fans and so-called expert journalists don't understand how this works (or refuse to acknowledge it for 'bants').

Nike don't pay millions and millions of dollars in shirt sponsorships to just let the clubs pocket all the cash from sales, effectively losing money on every sale while the club gets paid twice.

Shirt sales go to the sponsor. A club signing X megastar doesn't "recoup that back in shirt sales" no matter what Dave in 'Footy Bantz group' on Facebook says.

I won't be happy until they are relegated.

He's currently David Silva's understudy at Real Sociedad

Interestingly though, however much we might disagree with their strategy it does work for Chelsea.

Players, managers, staff and fans there all know the score - whoever the manager is, they'll be sacked in 18 months.

Yet while they might have the odd bad season or two, they've been consistently winning shit since Abrahamovic took over.

Maybe the fact they are so unstable at the top, in its own weird way, adds stability. The uncertainty is the only thing that is certain...

Macheda too,he's another.

Into the South Stretford wednesday night division II.

 

[remember arthur mann]

They have McTominay and Fred.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I won't be happy until they are relegated.

I won't be happy until they are liquidated and that rotting pile of scaffolding is turned a Tescos.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Haha Adnan Januzaj? God he was shite.

I might be wrong but pretty sure he ended up at Sociedad with Moysey?

I remember the embarrassing, almost homo-erotic, hagiography written by Patrick Barclay about this guy and which has been posted on here numerous times (but I can't find it right now).

At the time "Paddy" Barclay was a respected sports journalist but that article, which, in my opinion, must have been written less than impartially, effectively trashed his reputation.

Playing alongside Merlin at Sociedad at present

May have got missed in the chaos of them getting beat again last night but the Glazers have decided to recoup £11m this Friday:





You love to see it.

"We got you Ronaldo, Sancho and Varane...AND you celebrated it...so let us have our money."

Fair enough I suppose.

They have been able to finance on field as well as off field transactions from profits.

We are fortunate that our owners continue to solely invest rather than splitting profits between the 2 options.
