Absolutely hilarious! It never rains but it pours in Salford - mainly through the stadium roof!

The Swamp is not in Salford

They have never had a ground in Salford.
The cliff, their former training ground was in Salford but that is it.

The ground is in Trafford, formerly Lancashire now Greater Manchester.
Bury, Oldham and Stockport are just 3 clubs that I could name that, like the rags, do not play in Salford.
 
Got beat by Forest at home.
13th in table.
Sporting Director gone.
Ticket prices increase.
Sacking employees.

Anyway scruffy Jim, whats happening with the new Wembley of the North?
It’s gone quiet mmmmmm it’s all we heard about 3mths ago - get your cheque book out and write the numbers £3.2 Billion

All a smokescreen.

Your club is on it’s knees and everyone of us on Bluemoon want’s to get it in a headlock and snap it’s fucking neck.

We hate you, your club means nothing to us blues, like a piece of Lint or a bottle cap

10:44 and it's just appeared
A United statement said the decision was made by mutual agreement.

"We would like to thank Dan for his work and support during a transitional period for the club and wish him well for the future," the statement added.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation have said Ashworth was told of the decision after United's home defeat by Nottingham Forest on Saturday, which left the club 13th in the Premier League.

Ashworth was seen walking through the press conference room with the club's chief operating officer Collette Roche after the game.

It is understood Ashworth was on his way to a meeting where his exit was confirmed.

"mutual agreement" eh?

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.

Not sure why you would’ve kept quiet. I’d have ripped the lying bastard to shreds!

It must be like a double-edged sword for the rags at times: on the one hand you will rarely, if ever, see a negative article about them in the media and the tabloids. They will not be publicly called out for the money they've wasted or for the amount of years they've been doing it, you never ever hear Sly/BBC/ITV ridiculing them for spending billions and billions on over-priced crap players when all they've got to show for it is playing for survival rather than trophies.
Myself, and many others have long felt that they are being 'protected' by the media in this country: as if they have some kind of hold over the establishment, an agreement that the media will treat them with kid gloves all the time.
If this is the case, it means the plastic day-trippers will have no idea of just how bad things really are at the swamp because they are never told the truth.

We see the brief highlights on MotD and other programmes, but even from the highlights we can see that -despite the tabloids' insistence that the rags are a great team playing terrific football, etc- we can see that they are in fact a very very poor mid-table team who have repeatedly been assisted by various forms of football officialdom over the years to keep them relevant.
The last few games reported on by Slimy Stone that I have bothered to read have been in stark contrast to what I have seen on the tv. It's almost as if the likes of Slimy and the others are seeing a different team to the one I'm seeing. He sees a team of 'highly skilled players' giving their all for the collective, whereas I see a handful of sub-par journeymen interested only in topping-up their bank accounts. These players couldn't give a flying fuck about the club, they couldn't care less about the Far Eastern market and the selling of club shirts and other forms of merchandise. They know that if the club was dissolved tomorrow they would all jet their way back home to the multi-million pounds they have accumulated for turning up and going through the motions for the rags. Why should they give a fuck about where their money comes from? It's entirely legal, and if the club is happy to pay a player three hundred grand a week to just basically show his face for a couple of hours a week then of course they're going to bite your arms off. Fair play.

But one day, in the not too distant future, the whole facade is going to go crumbling down to earth because, as the saying goes: 'You can't fool all of the people all of the time.'

This is so true, but to the last paragraph I am afraid they will, with the support of the written and digital media bring the whole sport as we know it, crashing down with them.

Record losses, bottom half, sacking their manager just months after extending his contract, sacking their director of football just months after paying £20m for him

I'm barely going to feel this transitionary season of ours. Long live Sir Jim.

It says they paid Newcastle £3m compensation on the BBC story?

He probably couldn't see the game from inside his da's ballbag
