FC United Thread

Empire builders who conned the deluded and self righteous
Walsh was only ever in it for himself but the dickheads refused to see it until it was too late

Biggest **** ever. I did an interview for the MEN after a derby as did he. He lied about what City were singing like the rat he was.

Loads of SWP swallowed it too.

Well Walsh and his cronies certainly ‘redistributed’ some wealth. Allegedly

Sounds about right. Mitten is a Muppet but he seemed to separate from him. United they didn't stand. Bertie Magoo won you cunts.

All members are equal......
But some are more equal than others.....

If they had called it Manchester FC and wore colours not related to either club it would at least have had a bit of credibility.

This and only this.
They missed a big opportunity here.
They could have formed a third Manchester team that was affordable to those priced out of the game.
Yet they purposely alienated 50% of their catchment area by forming an MUFC tribute act.
No other "business / company' would set up and deliberately alienate 50% of potential customers.

Alternatively they could have also said " fuck United..... go and support your local non league team instead - like Abbey Hey, Droylsden, Hyde U, the 2 Ashton clubs, the 2 Wythenshawe clubs, Stalybridge, Moseley, Alty......"

To be fair they didn't know those clubs existed in 2005. If you remember they were the creators of "Grass Roots Football".

It’s like a Tesco own brand version of the CFG.

Although unlike Salford, their fans knew exactly what they were getting from day one. Salford were a typical small non league club with a proud and long tradition. I highly doubt the majority of their pre takeover fans wanted any of this.
