United Thread - 2023/24

[Benjani56]

And I am saying there is absolutely no way City would reintegrate him with the first team in the same situation.

Ok, I'm not sure I share the same viewpoint - I think Premier league clubs are no different to big corporate organisations unfortunately

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

Not exactly new news I know, but after a quick minute of editing I sent this to a few rags I know... They fucking hated it (-:

I definitely think they unfortunately have a lot of similarities these days, but in this, City would not be depraved or just merely stupid enough to do what United is doing right now.

 

[Rory Bluelow]

I thought the police could press charges irrespective of the 'spouse' pressing them herself if there was enough evidence.

I think they can, but the prosecution would never succeed without the support of his victim.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

With respect, you’re being spectacularly naive.

Nobody at Sky/TNT/BBC will be bringing it up at press conferences and any freelancer who does will be skipped over and the question ignored.

Realistically the only concern sponsors will have is not wanting him in their marketing literature.

On the pitch/in the ground, the second he scores a goal for them it will all be forgotten about.

Nonsense.

 

[The Clansman]

I'm so hoping this blows up in their faces. I do wonder though if the rags statement is testing the water to some extent. If they get a call from (say) Adidas in the next few days expressing discomfort, would that come into the equation? Do feel a bit sorry for their women's team here. Seems like their concerns are to be ignored. Perhaps their international players deserved better on the day that they helped the lionesses qualify for the World Cup final.

Why not? We get asked about charges all the time, so who will stop them?

 

[ford7]

Why did The Athletic disable the replies on their tweet? Awful look.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I would hope the Hierarchy at City would know and understand the City fans mentality when issues like this rear their ugly heads.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I'm just saying they are different situations, greenwood has 2 years left on his contract. You can't make a fair comparison

They could pay him off in full for less than 8 million. They're choosing not to because they think they've got a valuable asset on their hands and would get a fee for him. Or they think they can get away with bringing him back into the squad.

City could probably afford to take the hit so that might help the decision

United are clearly struggling with FFP, so to pay off a homegrown player with no book value would make that situation much worse. That's why I think they and a lot of other clubs would bring him back in

It's wrong and really bleak

Difference here is that I'm not sure our fans would stand for it. I think a lot of Rags will be pissed off at it as well, but I'm not sure about the match going knuckle draggers.

 

[Benjani56]

I think that's the only reason why United haven't brought him back in yet, essentially the brand damage

 

[yeah whatever !!]

City play in the Super Cup
United player is a Super ****.

Agreed, as he is homegrown he has no book value too - so any fee they get would be 100% profit

 

[TinFoilHat]

Bet no one has the bollocks to ask Ten Pence at his next press conference does he support violence towards women.

 

[TinFoilHat]

You can see it now.

City fined and points deducted for abusing Mason Greenwood under the new tragedy chanting rules.

 

[Iassel]

Nonsense.

Ok, let’s see in a couple of weeks when he’s back in the matchday squad.

It would be great if football bound together and drove him out, but I’m confident you’ll be asking here in a few months why the whole thing has been brushed under the carpet.

 

[manimanc]

On the night we play in the super cup these tit for tat cunts release statements about the woman beating nonce.

Shows what they are, laughable.

 

[give it to gordon]

This is going to be a problem you cant keep fining the opponents.
