I was in a pub Friday night. Six Irish resident Scum fans sat down close by. Scum tourists on a three day package based in a pretty posh hotel. In balance they were clearly very keen and did the trip several times a season.
Me and my mate engaged as you do. Much jollity as they ripped the piss about our demise and excitedly explained how the Scruffy one was building carefully from the ground up with top appointments and the like. Wonder how they feel today as they wait for their flight home!!!

The highlight though was the loudest one who sad he had fallen in love with the Scum watching Best play live. He described his dear old da bringing him over to England but couldn’t remember the game.
When I asked how old he was he replied 53. I just kept quiet as you don’t mess with a Ninja who can remember a football match aged three years old.

I think the long term plan is to win the Championship.

They would appear to be after the parachute payment for dropping down into the championship.
I think that their long term plan to 'become like City' has started and double relegations are part of that.
The only difference is that the rags may not get back up.
How many seasons before FCUM get above 'em?
Lol.

Haha, you should have asked if he saw him at Fulham, Hibs, or in someone's testimonial game?

They're all full to the brim of shit. If you're going to engage let them dig a hole and fill it in with them inside.
 
I am not saying they will succeed but they will 1000% try to poach Viana. Make no mistake about it. They are bar none the most pathetic sport association on the planet, and their envy and admiration for us knows no bounds.

That being said, there were enough voices out of Newcastle implying that Ashworth wasn't actually that good in the market, which was his sole purpose at United. Which makes me feel this is bad news in case they actually stumble upon someone competent this time.

Also, INEOS has never run a succesfull football team. Only straight or relative failures. By all intents or purposes they have no idea what they are doing

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

Very strange.

All over Sky now mate, lovely stuff.

Apparently that Ratcliffe has said

"It isn't right it's cheaper to watch Rags than it is to watch Fulham"

What an absolute wanker, that statement is wrong on so many levels.

He will single handedly destroy PL given his way.

Disagree here. They have enough to exploit our injury hit squad. The media don’t give us any credit for getting points DESPITE missing up to 10 FIRST team players. But we have to face facts - if we’re missing Stones; Manu; Ake & can only get a half game out of KDB; Jack; Doku & have an ailing Phil - not to mention Rodri & Bobb - any team can take points off us

Sadly you can tho and that is the major problem, people want to believe what they are told, critical and rational thinking have gone out the window cos its easier to believe what you want to hear than challenge things and thats what people want these days ease of use, uber eats bringing your food so you dont have to think about cooking, netflix streaming your tv, amazon bringing your stuff so you dont have to think about it, the whole world is designed for people not to think and challenge but to be quiet and believe what they are told.

Starmer likes this post, be careful what you say, their watching and listening.

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.

He's a clever bloke in his field , figures and chemicals but people like that are usually useless with people and I would say Football leadership is more about people.

Looking at the article it appears his appointment, Amorim appointment and Tent Peg pay off add up to around £30m.

And how much did they pay to prise him away from Newcastle?

Rag board meetings must be fun....

at best if the same players still out we will be

ortega, walker, dias, gvardiol, wilson-essbrand gundo kev, jack, berny, haaland, doku.

That team should beat this united team even if some.are 90% fit, they don't have the players to do his system or the mentality to give a shit, we should be 4 goals to the good even if we concede 1 or 2

There's a story that Ashworth & Brailsford recommended retaining Poundland Pep in the summer, and Scruffy Jim wasn't happy with that decision. But they've changed managers now so why sack him? I can only assume Ashworth wasn't happy with the Amorim appointment and him and Ratcliffe had a big fall out.

It's very amusing that the people running football operations, who know sweet FA about football, appoint someone who's quite knowledgeable about it, then sack him.

Agent Omar, I take my hat off to you.

Ashworth 100% wanted an English manager. I posted that on the rag thread last season.
