Yep. We won't be giving it to David Moyes.

The irony of that comment is that if they'd actually stuck with him, they'd probably be in a far better position today, haha.

 

[blue is best]

Agreed but don't you feel the dressing room is already lost?

The Ronaldo situation has been handled appallingly, defending a player who leaves at half time from a preseason friendly is an incredible mistake from any manager.

The Dejong transfer chase is a total embarrassment.

The manager has made huge basic errors from day 1, not sure if could ever get the dressing room back on side.

Team selection /Tactics against Brentford appalling , naive or arrogant, or a bit of all three!

Yes the dressing room is in disarray and now they have been linked with aubameyang, no idea how true the link is but if they are thinking about buying him well, we all know this is the guy who arteta got rid of for unsettling the squad and also his indiscipline, surely if they get rid of ronaldo they won’t want him unsettling the dressing room….but then it is united!

The bloke born in failsworth.

Reggaie Smethurst, worked on the buses ? Doubt it, he retired to Cleethorpes.

I think it’s some kind of code.

I think I read that their interest in Aubameyang has already cooled, probably because he didn't want to come.

So their offer for De Jong has "expired", and their "deal" to sign Rabiot is "off", ronaldo might be "let go" too, what a great window they're having, on top of the start they've had, wonderful.

 

[Marlo]

On a serious note. Why do the glazers actually want Utd ? They are hated. Do they actually make money from them or just borrow against them. So confused with the whole saga

In two words fuck yes.

They are making a fortune. A conservative view of their buisines plan, would be they would rather pay interest on neverending debt (small payment a year of 25m or something), so they can post profits every year (if they paid off debt in one year say then that would be a loss for that year) - and if they post profits every year they can take dividends (you can't otherwise)

So essentially they are milking the company....but also, I can't blame them in my view. They are running it as a business, but they do have it as a shorter term view to be fair (if they ain't investing in long term payoffs).

The more sinister view as me and A Badger is not a Beaver discussed is that they actually own the debt. Therefore, it is in their interest to keep the club in debt and double dip on both the dividend and the interest payments.

Long may it continue,although I hear Phil the face is back ..

Your right to doubt it. I think Jim moved to Monaco. Put a late bid in for Chelsea recently.

The donut thief is one of 100s of problems, the biggest is the Portuguese ponce, he is poison at the club, the first job for Tent peg should have been to say goodbye and good riddance, doing so would have won over the dressing room in one second.

I think PR37 will have fucked off from the swamp by 1st September.

Unfortunately.

LOL, that'll save them.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Although all the PL clubs he’s ever managed are currently filling the 3 relegation spots, which must be some sort of a record….

Allah, Allah? Who the fxxk is Allah?

[Bollo]

There’s a bit of giddiness on the cafe right now about a possible club sale.

 

[journolud]

United are like the seedy old bloke in the nightclub desperately trying to pull at the end of the night and getting turned down by everyone. If they keep trying though sooner or later they’ll find a tart to take their money and give them a dose in return

Within the next 24 months? They’ll be relegation fodder by then

 

[remember arthur mann]

Nah, I don’t want either team evading the heat they’re currently under … but I bet there are elements in both clubs that would be happy to see it postponed.

Well Covid is making a comeback you never know.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

They're going to panic buy Casemiro for £75m on a four year contract, talk him up as one of the best midfielders on the planet, stick Erikson and Bruno in front of him and Maguire behind him, and then wonder why he's not the player he was. Varane all over again. Fred is going to go somewhere else and look half decent. What a club. Love it.

When is a journalist going to actually do their fucking job and tell these wankers that ffp has been in place since 2009/10 so it doesn't matter how rich the owner of a football club is they can only spend what they earn.

The “journalist“ was such a Rag he was too giddy to ask a real question. He actually said in response the suggestion that Saudi money might buy the Rags “none of us want that do we?.” I can only assume he‘d rather see his beloved Club bankrupted by the current, upstanding American owners. F….ng idiots !
