They are pretty fucked regarding their keeper situation. Bayinder is poor at best. Drop him and his confidence gets shot even more. They have no cup games to break the new young Belgian lad in till January. I don't think they'll throw him straight in to a Premier League match, but they are that far up shit street they may have to. What fucking disaster of a club, and I'm loving it.

Brentfords third goal is funny as fck. The shot was straight at him. He did brilliantly to get out of the way of it.

Indeed.
Their ‘Covid special allowance’ was essentially gerrymandering PSR.

Next years ‘special allowance’ will no doubt follow the Liverpool line of £54m allowance for a nonexistent stadium, but given football inflation that’ll be about £100m to United’s figures… and hey presto they pass the final year of PSR…and can move onto ‘squad cost’ shenanigans

If it is true that Scruffy Jim won't sack Amorim before mid November just to save 12 million (plus compo for a new manager)
They could be right in the shit by then. All for 15-18 mill !
So here's a thought.....

Most in here say the rags won't get relegated but, by mid November, if they've only got 10-11 points even a new manager might struggle to right a sinking ship.

All for 12 - 18 million of your finest English pounds.

I have read this before but I don't see the logic.
If they truly thought he was a dead man walking, it'd probably be cheaper and definitely be more effective to simply put him on gardening leave until mid-November and get his replacement in immediately.
Unless, they really are stone broke, of course but, again, there would probably be talk of yet another share sale, if that were the case.

anchoring lol cant have them near bottom as their figures will be used and top clubs will be able to spend more than them

Rooney is spouting the 'This is Man United' schtick so beloved of any ex-Rag tinged with the same entitlement that characterises so much of the Rag shite emanating from the RDAHMeedya.

He’s become the leader of the bitter ex-player club who coins it in by slagging off his former employers. Danny Mills needs to up his game.

They should not be bottom three based on the squad, lets not pretend otherwise but the club is rotten to it's core at the moment. Almoron has lost the dressing room and the fans, we know what follows is his job.

Have you seen the squad? There's only Fernandes and Mbeuno that would get into teams like West Ham and Burnley. If either of these get a long term injury they're done for

It is incredible how little self awareness football players have isnt it, if i was captain birdseye or ratboy i wouldnt have the gall to speak on any other manager, in fact i wouldnt even use the manager in my vocabulary after the appalling stints those two have put in.

I preferred it when players hung up their boots and bought a pub / became a plumber or a car salesman and simply said nothing . Dignity . These days gossip and anecdote is more profitable than silence .

Yes, I would agree with that.

The rags will have a global audience because of their historical success, as you rightly mention.

When a club is repeatedly branded as one of the biggest in the world it will always attract followers.

Like you, I have often been left scratching my head wondering how they can attract so many people at the swamp. Especially, when you consider the dross they've been serving up over the past decade.

Then it dawned on me.... thousands of tourists visit Buckingham Palace every week, yet they never get to see the queen (king).

Thousands of tourists visit Loch Ness in Scotland and yet they never get to see the Loch Ness Monster.

The swamp is essentially a museum for tourists to visit, and tick off yet, another site seeing tour on their bucket list.

Wouldn't they get more out of a day out at Legoland? :-)
