Spit doing his analysis bit on City to educate on how to stop us. Never does that with any other team. They do it every season although this is a alot earler than usual.

Spitty's dream/desire is for his beloved Dippers to win 5 in a row and be kings of English football.
Problem is though his arse is already going after 1 good City win and he wants us taken out to eliminate the threat

This topic is almost exclusively about unequal treatment of Manchester City. We, for example, are convinced that journalists such as Jamie Jackson are Man Utd stooges; it was then with great surprise that I saw Jamie Jackson drive Amorim mad during the Arsenal post-match press conference:

That's assuming all rag stooges support Amorim,as big a tosser as Jackson is he's been one of the more critical of Amorim since he took over.

These journalists are clients of the club, not the manager. If someone at the club wants to start unsettling the manager, they'll do it through their media hacks.

Just listening to that Tim Vickery, what a fucking no nowt he is. Got lucky by living in South America, I think talks dome Portuguese and Spanish, and talks like he knows a lot about football, which he doesn’t

He is quite good with the young players coming through that continent though.

It's when talking about South American players playing in Europe where he comes unstuck as he is out of the loop.

I do remember he was saying for everyone to buy Caicedo from Ecuador around Covid times before Brighton bit the bullet.

He was astonished United wouldn't match Brightons £4m offer after only bidding £2m.

He also mentioned Enzo Fernandez before he went to Benfica of which he was only there 6 months before moving for £100m

What has he said now?

The Guardian gets it right...

Manchester United are importing a sinister US tactic: Public money for stadiums

Similar grand promises made when building US sports arenas are now being used to justify a huge outlay in the UK, with little return to show for them

I'm stunned at seeing this article in a British news paper. There really does need to be vocal objection to one penny of British tax payers money being put into this greed filled project. They are owned by American and British multi billionaires, they are a company on the New York stock exchange. Why please tell me should we be helping a private company with tax payers money. A company that repeatedly call themselves "the biggest club in the world" Yet they want government handouts.
The entire plan looks a pack of lies. Where are they going to build 17,000 houses ? That's the size of a town.
I think this is all scruffy jims greasy greedy fingers, working deals with his slimy mates in parliament.
Just lets hope there is some people in parliament who actually have some morals and oppose this lottery win for a club with the only ticket.

A very interesting and enlightening article.
Not often that Americans criticise their Sports teams and the way they have secured public funding under false promises.
Unfortunately, Scruffy Jim also has the support of Seb Coe (who you'd think had secured the London Olympics, single handedly) and Andy Burnham (who thinks he is untouchable).
This article should be copied & pasted to all news outlets.
Will be interesting to see how many people pick up on this.
All Blue Mooners should broadcast about it !!!

City wasting Echeverri by sending him on loan and will regret it like we did selling Palmer.

I think he has it in his head it's a loan then permanent deal.

Has anyone else noticed the growing trend amongst pundits who are bemoaning the PSR rules.

I've heard Neville, O' Hara and other saying PSR is preventing clubs from competing and how it's affecting young players' pathways through their parent club.

Looks to me like a case of "The chickens have come home to roost"

It just goes to show that these financial restrictions were put in place as a safety net to prevent clubs going broke is a myth.

The biggest mistake the suits in the Premier League corridors and the red top executives have ever made was trying to stop MCFC from progressing.

Wilson must have had the nod from someone upon high to write that. I mean, he's not wrong, but it's weird that he's calling it out.

He said "I wonder how much Chelsea would pay me to be their chief scout..."

He's a scouser, in a wheel chair. He could have ran away but would have lost his benefits. If you see a close up of The Kop, they're all in wheel chairs.

Usually true but I don't think that's the case here, Jackson seemed to take a very supportive view of Rashford during his problems at the club,and much of his criticism of Amorim was related to that situation.How that came about I've no idea,but it definitely poisoned his opinion of Amorim.

He won’t have a problem getting back in. He will explain that the wheelchair is the season ticket holder and leave it at home…

Maybe the govt could do a deal... United say it "would be worth over £7bn annually to the UK economy", so the govt could give them the money to move the freight terminal like they want, but then every year do an analysis to see how much the new stadium actually benefited the economy. Any difference between the actual benefit and £7bn would be made up by United, or even given to United if they exceeded the £7bn.

That sounds fair to me, they make the promises, they face the consequences.

They were told. The Red Cartel, the clubs, the fans, the media, all with their partial, tribal view of the world.. they were told what it was about, what would happen.

But not one of the stupid f**kers (with the odd media exception.. here's to you Martin Samuel!) had the cojones to ask what I've always called throughout my time in management, the 'Sergeant Wilson Question'; as in 'Do you think that's wise, Captain Mainwaring..?'

They were told but they wouldn't listen and they pressed on regardless.

Stupid, tribal f**kers..
