FC United thread

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

There’s been no talk of andy Walsh returning to the scene of the crime with the FSA.

He was one of 5 people that proposed a members vote that fc come off x at the last meeting and received some criticism there from the usual suspects

I didn’t realise he had any involvement still as a member. Last I heard he had joined the board at Wythenshawe Amateurs . Admittedly that was a few years back

Former FC United chief joins ambitious Wythenshawe Amateurs

Former general manager Andy Walsh left his position as general manager of The Rebels at the end of last season.

He supported a motion to get off x that wasn’t successful. The chair chucker acted as the boards bulldog and fought it off for them

They really do take themselves way too seriously lol.

We should “announce the intention….”
“Publicly give notice that the club intends to stop….”

Once again attention seeking at its finest.
Can you imagine Musk sat at his desk asking his secretary if there were any developments today and he is informed that the Moston Rag Socks have cancelled their twitter account.
He’ll be reeling from that rebuke for years to come!
No one gives a shit what the Bucketeers do or don’t do but these attention seekers seem to think everyone needs to know where they stand on every issue and have to tell the world!

I enjoyed the latest publicity. The bucketeers announce it’s cheaper to watch them than go to Old Trafford as it’s just £15 every game to watch them play non league in a half empty ground,



It’s £15 to watch all league, cup games and friendlies. They’re expecting their fans to drop £45 watching 3 massive home friendlies in a week. That’s £45 on tickets on top of the three new shirts that came out just for one year at £50 each and the required “optional” donation on top of your season ticket

Yet they keep going on about how affordable they are and how they’re sticking it to the man ‍

It's just like buying a United shirt for £90 or Go on DHgate and buy it for £15 Both are shit

How the hell have they managed to get 3 League Clubs to play at Pallet Park ?
Also, surely Rochdale want to get back into the Football League, so why play a team who are 2 or 3 steps below them ?
Whoever organised these friendly games deserves the £50 grand he probably gets paid...

Within the bucketeers message they proudly state 'no rip offs'. Apart from the their rip off of the council tax payers of Manchester with all the bloody money these charlatans owe!!

I assumed they'd be on a bit of a mini roadtrip, perhaps 2/3 games up & down but no, Exeter have nothing 7 days either side of the fuck 'em game.

Maybe there's a rag involved at Exeter?

A rag involved? Devon is a rag central!

Also I assume the gate receipts will be shared?

The only good thing about Devon is that it keeps Cornwall away from the rest of England.

There are only two good things that come out of Devon; the M5 going one way, and the A30 going the other.

No the clowns at Exeter have felt pity on the bucketeers after seeing the state of their finance & have agreed to get the coach up at their own expense & not take any of the gate receipts. The bucketeers also confirmed once again that one of their “key pillars” which is “3 o’clock on a Saturday” is like all their ethical beliefs only there to be broken when enough cash is involved

Piece of interesting news coming out of Warrington town today. Complaining that their goalkeeper who was under contract for another year has been tapped up without their permission & subsequently handed in a transfer request. A team in their league have had an offer of £7500 begrudgingly accepted for him.

Raises a couple of questions if it’s later confirmed that he’s going to be playing home games at pallet park next year.

Firstly, why are those moral guardians of the game at broadhurst park tapping up players without their clubs position?

Why are they spending money to buy goalkeepers when they owe so much money? Inevitably what comes around goes around & he’ll do the same shithouse behaviour to them but you’d expect better behaviour from a club of such principles?

I can’t imagine the bucketeers being so magnanimous, if the fixture were reversed.

Well the latest farce to hit pallet park is another monumental fuck up. Particularly troubling as it’s affecting young people in the area who have been using their academy. As regular readers will know by now the academy was the great white hope. When “the vision” was unveiled they announced they were taking the academy back in house, making the football manager the full time principal & recruiting 120 kids in the first year. The local kids of moston were going to be the cash cows that were going to save them. One newly elected board member (luc zentar previously discussed on here) thought it was a good time to demonstrate his back of fag packet maths showing how much profit the club would make in future if they attracted 500 kids. They budgeted for 20 girls in the first year & recruited 1. By now they expected 140 kids but still have less than 50. Again like so many things with FC it has been badly mismanaged & nothing is ever the club or the boards fault. The manager had to resign his full time education role after just a few months (to be later employed in a sponsorship/sales role) and the club went back to SCL to run the academy for them. SCL have now realised the FC academy was a pipe dream based on fanciful numbers & was never going to come to fruition from a purely business point of view so handed in their 3 month notice, as they were entitled to do.

This is an absolute disgrace that is going to affect kids and their futures. A non league football club that can’t organise a piss up in a brewery should not have been allowed to set off on a stupid scheme to sell kids a full time education at the government’s expense.

That's how the feckers got promoted for their first few seasons.
Had a bigger budget than any team until they reached National League North.
So, just poached players as they could pay bigger (probably unofficial) signing-on fees and higher wages.
They obviously got a ridiculous amount of grants and loans from Manchester City Council,which seriously helped "nick" a higher calibre of player to most teams in their leagues.
It would interesting to see how much money has been churned over in their 20 year history ?
I bet it's the highest in the North West non-league group of teams, apart from Altrincham maybe, who have been the National League for most of that period ?

Early days they were in Bury but got crowds of around 30 x their competitors - there was no MCC cash for about 10 years an the new stadium.

Now they are no longer highest in their league and have lost the big advantage, but still one of the top supported teams so should do better.

It has got to the point that neither these or Salford will progress up the leagues now, the latter costing a few million a season to stand still in L2.
