Typical Splitter - was there at the derby game yesterday. Most of these “anti Glazer” fans still turn up at the swamp, putting their money into the Glazer’s pockets showing a complete lack of self awareness.

Great can he pay Manchester council all the money they owe
I assume this is in reference to the fuckwit Cantona.
If they go bust I hope the council sue the owners for the money........
The man from a modest terraced house in Moston won't have much but others.......... ;-)

You would think the council requested some kind of collateral against the loans they have given.

In case anyone was still interested in the financial mess at pallet park. January’s accounts are now available, another loss making month losing £9600, the board are getting twitchy about making the first repayment of £30,000 to the council by the start of July due to cash flow problems, despite having sold season tickets since the start of march.
The repayments to the council then jumps upto £78,000 next year

Despite not having a pot to piss in and upcoming payments to the council coming soon they’re still a basket case commercially. They’ve organised a beer festival on the 18th of may. Sounds good but they’re not sure where they can sell alcohol in the ground, if holts will give them a waiver on their exclusivity deal or how they’re doing against their sales targets.
They also had an offer of sponsorship from a vape manufacturer but turned that down on ethical grounds

Why aren’t the two council bods on the board telling the club that this upcoming Fenix Trip to Italy is an act of pure indulgence and a farce and that the trip should be cancelled to avoid further losses?

The Fenix Trophy has managed to cover its costs (just!) every year they’ve entered, last year they only managed to break even by selling off the overpriced match worn shirts to their ever gullible fans.
It’s ok though, going forward FC have told the organisers all they need to do is attract better teams with more fans, organise it better, don’t allow countries to enter that need visas & get sponsorship. The bucketeers barely break even, most clubs are playing in front of 200 at home & losing money, why would anyone good want to take part in this ego trip organised by FCs very own convicted little Engerland hooligan

The Fenix Club #BrianPotterHuge European cup news, avoid Italy on the weekend of the tenth of May. It will be impossible to get a flight or hotel booking as the mighty FC united head across to take on the best European football had to offer, or failing that anyone who can afford to take the financial loss of the tinpot fenix trophy.
Joining perennial strugglers the buckateers will be the Scottish Caledonian braves, who are lucky if they play in front of more than 100 people
Avro Fc from Oldham who have an average home league attendance of 183 this season and sit seventh in a league even lower than the buckateers.
They’ll possibly be joined by a Belgian team who average 900 fans or a team from Norway, either way it shows what a ridiculous costly folly it is

The idea is a good one imo but has to be viable.

I would have thought checking if it makes money would be the part you do first.

The wobbly gobbed tossed mentioned in the board report as one of two fc united volunteers organising their involvement in the tournament is Adrian Seddon. For many years he was the chairman running the club into the ground. He now sits on the football committee overseeing the on the pitch piss poor performance & enjoys the role of bullying any other member of the bucketeers who doesn’t agree with the board’s rose tinted spectacle view that everything is awesome (there’s a handful of bucketeers that speak up and dare question the lunacy)
Anyway he often gives interviews about his reason for walking away from old Trafford in 2005 and starting to watch non league football.

For some reason, maybe it’s too many knocks to the head, or he might really just be that thick he’s forgotten he always forgets to mention that his sudden interest in non league football in 2005 might actually be down to him receiving a football banning order for acting like a dick at England games.
Soccer ban for thug fan
A SOCCER thug who tore up stadium seats and threw them at rival fans during an England match has been banned from attending games for two years. Adrian Seddon, 28, from Sale, was caught on camera hurling seats at Polish fans during an international match in Katawice last year.

Wasn’t it this clown, who after the Rag Socks had to pay to repair damage that their fans had caused to seats when visiting another club, came out and condemned those Bucketeers involved for doing exactly the same thing he was given a banning order for!The wobbly gobbed tossed mentioned in the board report as one of two fc united volunteers organising their involvement in the tournament is Adrian Seddon.

You cannot beat a good hypocrite !
Ask Cantona who recently "signed up" as a Splitter member, then toddled off to the Derby match, the next day.
Are they still chanting that "They don't care about Rio" song, that was very ironic went they soon took the TV money for a FA Cup tie, changing the kick off time from the hallowed 3pm ?
