The reason nothing else has been heard about their new Circus tent. £100m designer fees. There you go, PSR sorted.

I was thinking more like £50m like the scousers, however with inflation your probably bang on.

I told you thr rags would find millions down the back of the settee.

It's spread over 6 years.

"FUCK OFF!"

 

[Jim Tolmie's Underpants]

Fun fact:

Jonny Evans' departure means that next season will be the FIRST time since 1973-74 that the rags are without a player who played for the club under Ferguson.

Funny way to spell Govan Pisscan, but it is an interesting fact nonetheless.

Looking that 1974/5 United squad up, Arthur Albiston was the link to Ferguson as Sammy McIllroy joined us in 1985 a year before Ferguson came from Aberdeen.

A few thousand empty seats and they finally get a win, copying us again

It's funny when we talk about City making some underwhelming signings, here's united finishing 15th yet still their big summer signing is from a club that somehow managed to finish lower than them in the league.

So who was with the rags in 86 who was also there in 74?
Reminds me of that bullshit stat about always being a home grown rag player in the squad since Noah built his arc. And Johnny O' Shite is classed as a home grown player despite the truth being he signed from an Irish team aged 17

I keep hearing of Amorim that he "speaks so well" as though that's the answer to something. He's taking them backwards.

The BBC's Phil McNulty on his prediction last August and assessment on each PL team

Manchester United: 15th

McNulty's pre-season prediction: 5th

Where do you even start?

When a manager, in this case Ruben Amorim, is offering public apologies on the pitch just six months after his appointment, you get the picture of just what a dreadful state a proud club is in.

Amorim also told supporters: "Good days are coming." There is little evidence of this coming to pass at the end of United's worst top-flight season since 1973-74.

They were an utter shambles. On and off the pitch, from the ill-judged (not to mention hugely expensive) decision to keep Erik ten Hag and extend his contract, then sack him, to the total lack of impact from successor Amorim after his arrival in November.

A run to the Europa League final threatened to cover up gaping cracks, as well as the growing discontent with part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, but United reverted to type with a mind-numbingly bad display in losing to Tottenham.

A head coach who seems uneasy in his role. A mediocre squad ill-suited to said coach's preferred three at the back. Unpopular owners. Morale at the club rock bottom.

Other than that...

What McNulty said in August: "Erik ten Hag is still in a job after winning the FA Cup last season but he is surely realistic enough to know he needs a good start to stop speculation rearing its head again, even after signing a new contract."

The pain and anguish in his words could have been lifted from any United fanzine - an embarrassment to his profession..............

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Maximum £105 loss in any 3 year period!

So just to ensure a full understanding of this - to be compliant by the end of FY25 (ignoring poor financial performances up to this point), their result has to be a minimum of a positive £98m to get them back to the max loss of £105m across the FY23, FY24 & FY25 cycle and avoid penalty?

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Didn’t Leeds have a decent squad with players who clubs actually wanted.

Indeed - and yet we still managed to end up with a cropped and unfit player costing us Bernstein in the process......... :-(

Before adjustments allowed that is

I thought his speech was like Alan Partridge.

Our "own" genius, Micah, had them finishing 4th.
