What time did they do the 2026/27 draw - I missed it!Who'd Utd get in the cup draw ?

They are so fucked
Add Keane in as Groucho and you'd have the Marx brothers.Carrick & Rooney = Little & Large or Laurel & Hardy
So Mr Taylor who lives in north London is chosen as the most appropriate ref for the Manchester Derby
I think Taylor is one of the better refs, when it comes to us.So Mr Taylor who lives in north London is chosen as the most appropriate ref for the Manchester Derby
I wonder...being as it's an early kick off ..if he leaves London at 6am to ensure attendance on time ...or will stay over Fri night,at utd supporting family ..how convenient.
Edit: Maybe Taylor has an invite to utds end of season party ,sat night ?
Tbf I can argue with thatI think Taylor is one of the better refs, when it comes to us.
And yes, I know it’s a very low bar.
They’ve succeeded what we asked them to do.Only a matter of time before one of if not both of Wilcox and Berarda will be sacked.
Ratcliffe will want a fall guy or two for this season.
Agreed, but Pawson on VAR doesn't exactly fill me with confidenceI think Taylor is one of the better refs, when it comes to us.

That WOULD be funny.So Ruben Interim sacked. Now United talking to 2nd in the championship manager Carrick to be interim manager of a struggling United. Carrick must have rocks in his head to give up a battle for the championship title for a team that will probably be fighting to avoid a bottom 6 finish.
I think Carrick will turn them down.
It all just means there will be less to repay some of the huge deficit back, so when interest is added on they'll probably owe more at the end of the season than they did at the start.They make about £5.5m per home matchday. That might have increased this season.
They've "lost" the following number of matches this season:
Europe: Minimum 3 homes in Conference league, 4 homes in Europa league/champions league
FA Cup: 4 games till semi's, so likely average (ha!) of 2 home games
League cup: 4 games till final, so likely average of 2 home games
They would have probably budgeted to get somewhere in the cups, so lets be generous and give them 3 home games.
So £16.5m down.
They can't have budgeted for the european games, as they didnt qualify, but it still counts I suppose. I'll pick 5 homes, as they'd assume they got out of the group stage, even in the conference.
So another £27.5m down.
Total about £44m down on matchday money, from where they'd at least expect to be.
+ reduction of broadcast money for both the home & away games not happening
+ reduction of prize money for nonprogression/nonparticipation
+ reduction in any sponsorship contract failing to achieve KPI's
- reduction in performance bonuses for whatever they have in players contracts regarding cup progression!

Of course,why didn't I think of that ..: )He’ll be travelling up with the Cockney Reds!
In Germany Laurel & Hardy are known a ‘Dick und Doof (pronounced dorf)’ - thick and stupid. More apt names I would suggest.Carrick & Rooney = Little & Large or Laurel & Hardy
