He also referred to them as ‘they’ and then changed it to us.

If that was a Blue I salute you sir.

He’ll be in the shower now scrubbing himself clean.

Glazers must be pissing themselves laughing. The footballing side of the club is run by scruffy Jim and his staff so they get all the flack

But the Glazers still own 79%of the company so get the majority of the income so the question is what the fuck is Jim getting out of this deal?

You only have to look how piss poor ineos pro cycle team has fallen since being Sky.
Ratcliffe has ruin that team with most top riders wanting out. He has slashed the budget.
Looks like he is doing the same at swamp, making people redundant etc. It's fucking great lol

100%

Horse Spunk started the decline but it rarely gets referenced by media or fans.

One day a book will tell the tale.

In any other arena questions would be asked how the rags are any where near the top table, they are by definition a mediocre club with an ordinary team yet there are suitors queued up round the block to sponsor them.

Where is this good value we hear a lot about?

Listening to Talkshite at the moment, I'm sure Jim White mutters Manchesh United on his vinegar strokes. This loss is worse than the death of Princess Diana.

The funniest thing I think is that the best thing for them to do this season is to keep TenHaag and accept midtable as their level. That means accepting a lot more draws and losses to mid level teams.

They can still hope to win a top level game here and howl to the moon when they do.

But they just need to collectively tell Neville and the rest in the media to shut the fuck up. They need to collectively admit that its as good as it gets right now. They need to stop hoping for a saviour manager or a saviour player or a saviour points deduction for others. They just need to go into hibernation as a community and let the manager and players alone.

If they don't imo it's another step back to only end up here again in a season or two.

But we’ve been saying that, since Gollum was there.

And do they listen?

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, and, at the time, their entitlement wouldn’t allow it, but they really should have bitten the bullet and left Moyes in place for a longer period.

He hasn’t had a spectacular managerial career, but he might have built on that first post-pisscan season and had them Competing.

But, we’ll never know.

It’s just brilliant. Blanket coverage of everything that is wrong at the club.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Ooohh, he's been given the backing from the hierarchy.

Sacked soon, then.

Exactly this. It was a stroke of genius by the Glazers. Catweazle gets all of the flack and does all of the work now while they sit back and watch. If Catweazle fails, then it’s nothing to do with them. If he succeeds then they hoover up even more dividends and eventually sell out at a much higher price. Clever people the Glazers.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

it was a yellow card for me. it wasn't reckless, it had zero force behind it and it wasn't endangering the player. Martinez's tackle last week on the other hand ticked all these but got away with it.

It wasn't reckless, you are right - it was premeditated and deliberately intended to cause harm to the opposing player.
so intent was he, that he continued with it - even if you buy the "I slipped" shit. It's not like we're talking about someone who doesn't have form - he's always been a snide cheating ****.

 

[SilverFox2]

They’ve got a shit club, shit hierarchy, shit finances, shit ground, shit facilities, shit manager, shit players and delusional ‘istree fans.

But they only seem to blame one of those things at a time.

This is what happens when you rely on "entitlement" in the guise of "history" to give the team its results.

The musical chairs game of blame is typical of many businesses in other sectors of industry or business.

I suppose Omar is trying his best to get a proper business plan / mission statement for years to come therefore allocating responsibity and actual blame but how much actual authority has he got?

Change to a proper business plan is the very thing that the red cartel were afraid of when Sheikh M took over City.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

That you're arguing for Bruno Fernandes

So the referee AND VAR wer both wrong at the same time, along with other pundits and observers? That's a whole lotta wrong to defend a Rags actions.

fuck off with your rag shit. At the end of the day you should stay neutral on football actions and not get swayed by rivalries. If it was a spurs player that slipped you'll be saying the opposite. Also all other pundits have said it should have been yellow card and VAR had fucked up.

Well the rags ( fraudulently by the PL ) got the expense of jim buying his share of the shite off their PSR allowance .

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Was local lad and Chelsea Fan, Scruffy Jim, at the game yesterday - or was he in Barcelona watching his other plaything lose?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Exactly what a rag is saying now on the radio.

Fucking hell a rag who can actually understand what goes on at the shithole. That is a first .

[blueste41]

They thought they’d took the mastermind behind City’s success and made him CEO.

They thought Ineos would change things.

Gave the manager another 200mil to spend on his Dutch fetish.

Let go of thousands of staff.

Continue to get worse.

United are fucking shit.

I think Omar Berradda was a good appointment for them and I'm gutted to have lost him, still to early to judge though IMO.

Their business in the summer suggests otherwise. Rinse and repeat they've done, despite new figure heads in place.

He's clearly got a multitude of issues to resolve if he has any chance of changing their current demise.

Which is fine by me, I can wait.

When you fall over, do you do a John Cleese and scrape the sole of your foot down a passer by?
Nothing to do with rivalries - when you take into account the state of play in the match, the frustration, the raised studs, the abnormal leg action, and then add in who it was - a player with form for being unsporting, acting out of frustration and a serial cheat - you get a clearer picture.
You seem intent on being overly willing to side with his excuse - as for the other pundits? There's quite a few that think it was a red - hell, even Goldbridge thought it was.
