FC United thread

I’ve got to know a guy in my local who I had always assumed was diehard scum. Turns out he’s a bucketeer, attends Pallet Park regularly and donates.
He’s a bright bloke, good senior job. I trotted out some of the useful facts posted by contributors on this site. He wouldn’t have any of it and believes that the mini scum remain the modern saviours of football and are on the cusp of something really special.

It’s baffling

You didn't happen to catch the name of his dealer by any chance? Sounds like he is selling some really serious shit!!
 
Another of the rats has left the sinking ship. This time it’s the general manager leaving just a few months after the commercial manager (good job they don’t need to raise a lot of money very soon!)

It’s a regular occurrence over at Pallet park. the board announce they’ve bought in the most experienced & qualified person to ever work for them, the person quickly realises what an absolute shit show they’ve walked into & leave, the board pretends everything’s fine, the rest of the cult believes them.

One of the cult members did not get the memo this time & asked the obvious awkward question

So it’s that time of the month again for anyone still interested? The bucketeers have released their accounts for both February and March.

During February they made a commendable profit of £29,800 which completely bucks the trend. That profit is less impressive when you read that it was due to a one off donation of £47,000 - Somebody gave them £47,000 in a month & over £17,000 was instantly spent on covering that months losses alone, it’s absolute lunacy.

In march they reverted to type & lost £10,500 meaning that after 9 months of the year they’d made an operating profit of £19,700. Whilst any profit is a plus for them following the losses they’d been reporting all year it’s a whole lot less impressive & sustainable when you think how much cash has been given to them throughout the year

Good work as always bud. I'm assuming that they haven't got a magic money tree at the bottom of the garden to print the £30,000 they are due to repay MCC loan this year???
 
They’ve also unveiled the business plan for next year. As has been said plenty of times on here they’re going to need to raise at least £125,000 profit to cover the £75,000 due to the council, £25,000 to finally start a sinking fund for the artificial pitch & £25,000 to cover their other borrowing.

That’s a huge increase over the money they’ve raised this year you might be wondering how they’re possibly going to manage it? Well for a start they’re not going to add pressure to their staff by increasing their targets (as they’re clearly already very unrealistic & all the staff keep leaving) what they’re going to do is increase the target for donations.

keep shaking those buckets to prop up their ownership model that’s obviously failing & unsustainable whilst also preaching to anyone who’ll listen that they’re the way is the right way to own a football club

Is the overall £19,700 profit due to the £47k donation, otherwise they'd have lost 27k ish?

Their big ‘legends’ Q&A night before the weekend fundraiser match is selling so well that it’s already being hawked about on the seat filler agencies…

If it's access fee only (cannot be more than a fiver ?), it could be a great night out for Blues ?
Asking these 3 legends "how has it all gone wrong", is an open goal for City fans.
No doubt, it is all due to the fault of the Glazers Family ?
The GPC will inevitably get a free pass, with no mention of him hoovering up millions of pounds when he resigned.
Or how he left the Trafford Tramps with no chance of future success...

That’s hilarious, the bucketeers tried to sell the tickets to see those 3 very loosely termed legends at £30/£45/£60 yet with two weeks to go they’re giving them away for £7.50, the audience must be tiny.

Worryingly for the business plan the idea of this was it was being arranged by the company with the mini scum profiting froM the bar takings, room hire and the proceeds from the auction. as part of the 20 year anniversary this was going to sell so well it was going to convince the company to book lots more events.

If they’ve resorted to get people in for £7.50 to fill seats to listen to 3 old Trafford “legends” how much will they have to pay people to go & listen to Mark Crossley later in the year?

Real legends.

It’s like us having an event with Kenny Clements, Ian McNab and Ged Keegan, without wishing any disrespect to those three distinguished gentlemen.

I am wondering if someone gave that amount of money in their will after passing away? It’s an odd amount either way.

I imagine there must be a few family members thinking “what the fuck!”

They are like drug addicts. Every penny they find on the street goes in a jar along with the other pennies until they have enough to pay the dealer off for the last fix and gives them credit for the next one and the vicious circle starts again.

And family and friends give money on the promise it will go on food and rent but it never does…… the family and friends feel they are trying to help but they aren’t. They are just enabling the addict and prolonging the agony.

Ian McNab from The Icicle Works?
That should be a good night.
I assume Kenny is on drums and Ged on keyboards?
