Face it it's a massive swing now
Go back 30 years
Maine Rd needing big investment to bring it up to scratch
You throwing big money at the like of Curle and Phelan
Wanting your owners out
Going through managers for fun

Heres hoping they are at the howard kendal end of that period and that the worst is yet to come and that they never find their Joe Royle

What a fucking joke this lot are and all the media pundits who follow them. You can guarantee that after a defeat it's all the Glazers fault, Neville having another pop yesterday, the bellend.
Why can they never see past the fact that they are the biggest spenders in the prem over the last how many years, it's as though they're having to make do with the same playing staff every season and getting by on a shoestring.
May they continue to keep on giving us comical moments, that ending yesterday will take some beating though

Is it me being simple ????
If the owners basically give you the manager the fans want
They give that manager hundreds of millions to spend then why is it the owners fault ???

Would this be going in had they dominated over the last 10 years ????
Would it fook and there so called spokesman ( Neville ) didn't complain when he was taking millions of them nasty Glazers ............ surly a man of principle would have asked for a transfer once they entered the door but he didn't

They are nothing but self centred picks who think they have a good given right to be winning everything ..........Maybe the cunts should show a bit of humility should they start winning again but you know these rats ............ so long may this circus go on and on

I almost would agree with you but there's a pretty big difference between some players coming and going at the same club and then 10 years later doing something (ie Adam Johnson, Boateng) and what's happening at United.


Ronaldo was accused of rape with public evidence before he joined.

Eric ten Hag defended Overmars' sexual harrassment and Quincy Promes attempted murder before he joined United.

Giggs was hosted in the director's box several times when he was awaiting trial for domestic abuse.

Greenwood did what he did and then was kept around (still is being kept on)

Antony was accsued of this in June and they've done nothing about it.

They just signed Jonny Evans who got arrested on suspicion raping someone at the United christmas party in 2007.



I think it's entirely fair to say both that there's a broader problem in football that needs to be addressed without tribalism and something is rotten at Old Trafford. At the very least their upper management is doing an awful job of managing these incidents.

They knew this Antony shitstorm was coming all summer while they tip-toed around the Greenwood return debacle.

I think there are two points here.

One is that this is too important to get tribal about. It’s a societal issue.

The other is how (say) we and the rags react tween it happens to one of our players - contrast the way they handled Greenwood with the way we handled Mendy.

the rags don’t intentionally sign abusers. But when allegations of abuse come to light they have history of handling them in a completely inept way.

Just been chatting to a Rag at work, he's fuming and says they are a shambles on and off the pitch (like we didn't already know)

He was saying JFE was a jobs for the boys signing. Apparently JFE's wife is heavily involved with MUTV and happens to be good friends with the current technical directors ( D Fletcher) wife.

I think it stems down to their scouting network.
It must be non existent. Lol

No nepotism, there then?

What I really enjoy about this thread is the quality of contributions - thoughtful, nuanced, firmly held yet respectful of the views of others, well-reasoned and cogently expressed - about précisely why it is that the rags are so shite.

You want some?

Back in the day, we were having a pint one afternoon in the Blue Bell in Whitefield and sat at the table next to us was Dawn Acton, the Tracy Barlow actress, trying to have an orange juice in peace with what we assumed to be her boyfriend. Everyone kept looking over at her and eventually she goes to the bog, where clearly someone cornered her to talk about Corrie. She came back to her table, said “Fucking Tracy Barlow” grabbed her bag and her boyfriend and left. I did feel sorry for her.

I was queuing in Greggs once many years ago, I made eye contact with a woman stood alongside me, I immediately recognised her face from somewhere but couldn't quite place her.

Being a postie at the time I thought it must have been one of my customers so I said hello and proceeded to have a brief polite conversation asking how she was, had she had a nice Christmas etc

It was several hours later when it suddenly popped into my brain where I recognised her from... it was Hayley from Coronation street!
