I always thought you'd have to go some to out-Swales us, but this could do it. In the words of The Fast Show's Jazz Club: 'Nice'!

 

[Stelea]

Well that went well with Ashworth. Maybe another Red Tie available when Omar Barada gets his cards too

The scruffy yonner is making PJ Swales look competent

 

[DenisHasDoneIt]

The incompetence at that football club is genuinely staggering at times. This makes Peter Swales look like Bill Gates

They couldn’t push a gallon of rain off a leaky roof in a winter storm.

I think it’s fairly obvious they’ll ask Viana if he’ll go back in his word. They’ve been copying everything we do for 10 years.

See what he does. I’d be amazed if he did.

Somebody explain please…

£370M losses over 5 years….no FFP or PSR breach.

Serious question, how the fuck is that possible and why aren’t forest and everton all over it


Edit: forgot to add…..dirty rag scum, hope they get relegated.

Racliffe for me is like many megalomanic billionaires, not getting what he wants and he'll sack you and find somebody else. the Musk, Abramovich modus operandi.

Still don't believe this fixes RAGS underlined issues; and it's great.

EXCLUSIVE: Dan Ashworth leaves Man Utd after 5 months as sporting director. 53yo’s move from Newcastle has not worked + departure agreed in meeting at Old Trafford last night; presented by #MUFC as mutual https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5972334/2024/12/08/manchester-united-dan-ashworth-leaves/

Ashworth leaves after 5 months...after all of that chasing!

How much did they pay Newcastle for him?!

It’s funny, but I can’t find any mention of it at all on either Sty or the BBC sports websites.

Very strange.

 

[Vienna_70]

So how long until we hear Portuguese Ten Hag wanting them to 'pinch' Viana?

Isn’t he already under contract with us?

And that takes some doing.

Makes for hilarious reading.

Maybe we should buy loads of candles (they're cheap at the moment with the Scousers doing well) and pray that the Rags go the way of Woolworths.

No one is 'too big to fail'. Scruffy Jim is a classic asset stripper and the Glazers have lost fortunes on their Malls and are just using the Rags as a source of cash. This new £66 for kids is a red light. It suggests they're desperate for money. Unsaleable players on stupid contracts must be costing them an absolute fortune every week.

Perhaps they can merge with Rag Scum of Moston FC.

Someone senior at United still leaking to the New York Times group which owns the Athletic, A clear pattern in recent years.

Swedish glory hunter: It’s a parody.

Yes, of City under Swales.

 

[Sibierskii]

Wow

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I am going out to buy a new phone on Monday ithink this one is broke all my messages seem to have stopped ;)

The people I thought had died from lack of contact perhaps were all in a minibus that 'didn't make it' yesterday.

Haha, basket case of a club.

He spent more time on gardening leave from Toon that actually in position.

Do they know his job needs a big chunk of money? Did they think his name or him just saying Manchester United would get players ripping up contracts elsewhere to join them?

Only got through half a page, my Chromebook kept wanting to shut down from all the red on the screen but, i did mange to copy and paste this....they have no fucking idea.

Well they do say things have to get worse before they get better, but FFS how much worse can it get !!

And tbf Forest prob had one of the best records at OT back in the day they regularly fucked them up on their own pitch...

December 1977 Utd 0 Forest 4 on their way to the old 1st division title .

Also 1988 fa cup 6th round utd 0 Forest 1 ( same day we lost to Chelsea at home in old 2nd division when both teams eventually went up )
A lot of trouble in town that day 56k at OT, 44k at Maine Rd..Chelsea brought over 10k fans....a proper away unit..

There was another match which stands out too; shortly after Stuart Pearce missed that pen fir Engksnd he got dogs abuse in a league game at OT from their fans. He shut them right up with a brilliant free kick hit with so much venom the Stretford end were stunned
1nil Foresf ....Nigel Clough hit the crossbar with another brilliant free kick 2nd half...also Forest sold Gary birtles to utd for a million quid and he was shit...lol

I remember the Chelsea game well, it was my younger brother's 30th birthday on 20/3/89 so I bought us both tickets in The Main Stand as a present for him.
Shame about the result though.
