"Simply put, this is a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA ... " ( City's official response to UEFA's /Leterme's/ Parry's, Gill's relentless attempts to damage City ) UEFA ( as do the FA and the Premiership ) operate in a legal vacuum ; they ( or more to the point...

I'm going back 15 years on this one : I had a footballing mate who was a fanatical ManUre fan ( but I should add - a very decent sort of person ) who was the very proud possessor of TEN ManU Season Tickets. He acquired the right to purchase these season tickets by his selling ManU Supporters...

Last night, had a good natured chat in the pub, with a Man Utd supporting friend, about media coverage of Man U relative to City. He told me I was paranoid. Knowing I'd be sure to be on solid ground - I told him to "google" the Daily Express Football Site as I could predict the Rags would...

For heaven's sake ! The correct number is 1.1 Billion. ( Kantar interviewed 54000 respondents and deduced the rags have 467M fans and 635M followers ) Come to think of it - I suppose all of us blues reading this thread are followers. And by the way - Qualcomm manufacture chips ( the...

METRO (12/9/2023 ) Manchester United in advanced talks to sign £60M -a - year shirt sponsorship with Qualcomm Yahoo Finance ( 12/9/2023 ) Institutional owners may consider drastic measures as QUALCOMM Incorporated's ( NASDAQ :QCOM ) recent US$5.7Billion drop adds to long term losses.

The ultimate reference must be the Laws of the Game. The literal reading of the above referenced "law" is ( a player in an offside position is offside if he is ) making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball . Taking the wording literally - there...

Further to the above, let us not forget, the faux outrage at Ake's goal is the media's attempt to divert attention away from the incessant corrupt decisions given in favour of the rags. "You point to bad decisions given in favour of ManU - what about that farcical decision given in favour of Man...

One thing for certain - never believe anything you read about ManU's finances. The NY market was closed on Monday and then on Tuesday 7.5M A Shares were sold ( appx 13% of the tradeable shares ) knocking the trading price down by 20% to a low point of $18.50. When ManU announced the possible...

Amused by the faux outrage in ALL the media about the Ake/Akanji "offside" goal. Seems Fulham were robbed of 3 points ( despite City actually winning 5-1 ) . Silly Simon Stone's opening RANT for the BBC yesterday was a classic - his report concentrated in its entirety on the Ake goal - Oliver...

Too true! Simple Simon Stone ( BBC's " Northern " Football Correspondent ) getting very excited about the rags three brilliantly managed signings ( Johnny Evans - free agent / Serge Reguilon - loan tsfr / Altay Bayindir - £4M ! ) and all signed in time for them to play Arsenal this Sunday...

One for the referees out there to explain ( I've not seen it mentioned so far ) Looking back at Attwell's performance of yesterday. He awards the Rags their usual penalty for yet another of St Marcus's ridiculous dives. He sends a Forest player off notwithstanding the through-ball was clearly...

Share price today $20.19 ( valuing ManU PLC at $3.3 Billion / £2.6 B. ) The price has fallen significantly in the past week. Two of the Glazers sold 9.5M of their A shares on 5/10/21 at appx $16 per share ( valuing the Company at $2.5 Billion. ) The share price was $13.03 on 21/11/22 ( having...

I've previously submitted this account of Wio's "missed" drug test before : A friend of mine at the time , who is an eminent biologist ( and a ManUre fan ) advised me that a friend/colleague of his - a urologist - had related to him his part in this "missed" drug test saga. We are told by Wio (...

I think the girl's damning video was recorded in Sept 22 whereas the story was broken in Jan 23. In the meantime, it would seem there was a fair bit of behind the scenes discussions as to how to handle the affair. The club, their ever compliant media, their sponsors - even the police, seemed...

No offence taken. You clearly have far greater knowledge of the Courts than I do. I can only comment given my 2 weeks experience of Jury Service. As to your remark that I should not have been foreman of the jury : if only one of my fellow jurors had been willing to offer their services ! I sat...

Not sure you're correct. Quite recently I was the foreman of the Jury in a rape trial. The "victim" was actually 15 years old ( she did not appear in court ) but at no time did she actually show any distress or claim that she had been raped. The judge -in his summing up, advised - that we - the...

The Glazers have been taking £50M out of ManUre annually in the form of Dividends and Fees. Not a bad return bearing in mind they've put nothing into the club. Given interest rates / inflation of 2% that would value the club at say £2.5 Billion. However, of late, there are quite a number of...

That ragLickspittle Stone being positively in Pravda mode re. The rags latest accounts : "set for record revenues of £640M" 2019 revenues were £627M. Allowing for inflation they're declining...

As a dyed in the wool " Love Glazers Hate ManU" devotee I confess I've always viewed the sale of ManU , at the kind of price the Glazers apparently want ( £6Billion ), as extremely unlikely. Ashton's "Ministry of Truth" appear to be working overtime to keep ManU's 1.5 Billion "followers" hoping...

I believe AGI , Chevrolet and AON ( all of whom sponsored a prominent English football club) took advantage of US federal bail- out funding via TARP ( troubled asset relief programme ) in the wake of the Sub-Prime Mortgages Crisis. Does that not signify that that "prominent English football...
