Interesting.... Would their squad even raise enough if sold to cover the debts?

mysterious fire at the swamp pending? Assuming the Glazers have paid the insurance premium of course.

Well, I will let you into a little secret of what I have heard. Now, don't shoot the messenger!
Drones and fans dropping, substances onto the pitch, making it unplayable, human chains blocking roads, motorways and train lines. Other stuff too has been mentioned. Some of it, I don't agree with.
If this comes to pass, no games will be happening at United until they go. Fact. OT will become a health and safety issue and ultimately closed down.
Again, I am not responsible for this behaviour, just passing on what I have learned over time. EDITED

'Drones and fans dropping substances on the pitch'
Us old uns will remember a song we used to sing.....
'If I had the wings of a sparrow
And I had the arse of of a crow
I'd fly over Old Trafford tomorrow
And shit on the bugers below.

All together now....
Shit on, shit on, shit on the bugers below, below.

I'm here all week folks.

Rags make money when they’ve been shit for 10 years chelsea been won shitloads last 20+ years and struggles to make money

I would imagine that will be one area Chelsea’s owners will be looking to make gains on the commercials. They are probably the worst at it out of the big six

The rags were fuck all before the Premier League money rescued them, and they're fuck all now that we're all playing on a level playing field.
If you are given more money than any other club in the history of the game, if you are constantly being given refereeing decisions that defy logic but are of considerable assistance to the one club, and if your manager is a snarling, uncouth, foul-mouthed bully who is allowed to do what he likes and say what he likes, allowed to choose which referee he personally will allow to take charge of all his games, and your financial dominance over the rest of the league means you can cherry-pick all the best players home and abroad, it would be criminal if you DIDN'T win almost everything on offer.
Fast forward a few years and see how things have changed: other clubs now have immense wealth and power, they can now have more than just a say as to which players go where and why. The Premier league is no longer one club's domain, they have serious opposition.
And just look at that one club now. Just look at how far they have fallen, how far down the pecking order they have plummeted to.

And the man who single-handedly caused this fall from grace sits there today, arms folded in a hollow gesture of defiance, scowling at the bitter memory of a failed court battle over a racing horse, a battle that ultimately delivered the club over to the Glazers
An octogenarian with a history of alcohol abuse who would rather sit in the grim surroundings of the club he once managed than sit at home with hearth and wife. A man who seemingly has no reason to exist other that to stalk the empty corridors of a football stadium where once he was exalted as a God, a new Messiah for Sky's plastic empire, fawned over by the likes of Richard Keyes and Martin Tyler.

Meanwhile, the very club this man publicly insulted on a regular basis is now leading the way. The best football seen in this country, ever. The absolute best players that have ever participated in the sport, the most loyal fans to observe and appreciate this wondrous style of play, the club that has smashed nearly all records, the Centurions, arguably far superior to the Barca sides from years gone by. The club that continues to rub salt in to the very wounds of the Glaswegian Führer who once sneered so disdainfully at his 'noisy neighbours.'


It won't be a bunker in Berlin for this particular demagogue, it'll be a disused bus shelter in a lay-by somewhere, empty Jack Daniels bottles at his feet.

I may be a bit thick (I know!!) But exactly what is their complaints about their owners? Their recruitment and wage structure is amongst the highest in the league, ok they are not successful due to lack to direction but that is not the owners fault. What more do they want?

They are descending into the same cult like thinking of their hate fuck lovers Liverpool.

 

[talkativesprout]

It won't help that Arnold has publically admitted in the leaked video that they don't have the cash to sort out the stadium and are looking for investors. That is also share sensitive information so he could really be in the shit. Happy days.

Dont know about happy days, I want everyone of the senior management team to have jobs for life

There shit stadium I don’t know how they get a health and safety certificate went to a cup game years ago and it’s a death trap on those top tiers trying to get to your seat it’s so steep one slip your a gonner..

Leg room in the seats is terrible and not much space on the concourse. Didn’t someone take a fall there and was seriously injured?

Never heard the word bugers used in that song before :)

Well when the club don’t get any punishment for fans breaking into that shithole and getting a game postponed!

Things planned like this probably will happen just because there fans are entitled arrogant spoiled fuckers! Premier league if they hear anything like that going to happen should warn there fans that the clubs be fined big if a game get postponed

Do we need to mobilise the Blazin Squad to protect the swamp and ensure their games go ahead?

 

[Protein Junkie]

There ain’t many assets to strip apart from selling the stadium for scrap metal, we’d probably be better looking at buying Lou Macari’s chippy or the Ford garage on Chester road.

What about the World Famous production line that is the Academy ?
Alumni include Young Jessie, Macheda and Jizzypants !!

Would look better with a zebra pattern on the collar

You shouldn’t be practicing. Get trained first.

Don’t worry I tell all my patients, “I’m not certified, but I’ll take a look” [emoji23]

 

[Protein Junkie]

When I did a google search for the Rag 22/23 jersey it said “new kit leaked” at least it’s not just the roof.

 

[splinter]

I predict lots of laurel and Hardy gifs this year..

They are on the brink now. Either the new regime stops the rot PDQ or they sink a lot further.
To rebuild the squad and the stadium might take up to £2bn. Can’t see the Glazers being sanguine about that. Might be forced to sell. The Delicious irony if a mega rich Arab buys them.
