Marcus Rashford: Forward believes Man Utd would sell him for £40m

Marcus Rashford believes Manchester United would be prepared to sell him for £40m to anyone, not just Aston Villa.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

… so I’ll just Ctrl+C Ctrl+V the funniest bit:

“Rashford had harboured hopes of a move to Barcelona in January but no deal materialised. Ideally, he would prefer to play for a club who are in the Champions League next season. It is not clear whether Liverpool or Manchester City would be interested, or whether the player would be prepared to join United's fiercest rivals.” [my italics]

Edit: my bad. I’d assumed by ‘fiercest rivals’ that he meant us; if he means the other lot, it still equally preposterous…

And yet if it was united pep was in charge of and winning what we have won in the style we have he would not have mentioned boring possession football once.
It's a myth football was more exciting and more 'mavericks' back in the day, it's a pundits ego thing because they know footballers now days are much better, the football is much better.
Even in uniteds pomp there was always games where good footballing teams in champs league would turn up and school united, even with their team of mavericks. Deportivo, valencia, Madrid, Milan, dortmand, bayern, Lyon all spring to mind.

Seem to remember Bilbao schooling the Trafford Tramps with Bielsa (who went on later to manage Leeds) in charge, in both games they played each other ?

All's that's on the website is Haaland's horrific season (old news, not sure I agree either) and fluffing Eze.....

Oh and Sutton & some guy with a shite stage name tipping/hoping plucky Palace win. That's just not happening if a red shirt were in the final.

I responded to the BBC's FA Cup Final live feed with a comment on the BBC's role in the KO time. They didn't publish the comment.

I also note that every time they write about City's FA Cup Final appearance they make some comment about this being a disastrous season. It won't be if we win.

TBF, we haven't won it yet. I thought the BBC wanted 3pm BTW?
 
"You're having a laugh mate if you think companies would choose to sponsor City over United, Liverpool or Madrid."

"Your revenues are made up its obvious"

All these articles on trade agreements between the USA and the UAE with Khaldoon Al Mubarak a prominent figure are a good riposte to those that question our revenue streams.

What doors can links with City open? A lot i imagine.

For instance amongst the deals that have just been made is a $14.5 billion commitment from Etihad Airways to invest in 28 American-manufactured aircraft from Boeing and GE Aerospace. Clearly the link to City is only 1 piece in the Etihad jigsaw but it's still a piece. They play the long game.

To be fair, if it wasn’t for the BBC, we’d be kicking off at 5.30..

The New Statesman piece on Pep is extraordinary. (I won't link to it.) Apparently, he's gone from 4-time PL winner to 'humbled' in less than one season. It looks completely unsourced too.

Stupid woman on sky news this morning repeatedly said the europa league final was Manchester City v Tottenhsm Hotspurs

When she came back again she apologised

The next time she came back she said I'm sure all neutrals want Crystal Palace to beat Manchester City in the cup final tomorrow

This is why ultimately nothing really matters any more until there is a great reset of journalists and the way our "NEWS" is delivered to us.

We have opinion pieces based on clicks and revenue only, there is no middle ground and the truth died with it all.

Can't understand anybody who slags off the BBC then pays the licence fee, must be scared of a knock on the door.
At least 3 years since I paid up,
Collect the letters they keep sending me, upto 32 now, don't bother opening them.
Had a knock on the door once, asked them who they were before answering any of their questions, then said no thank you.
Can't think of a more shameful job.
