[The Future’s Blue!]

Simon Jordan urging Saudi Billionaires to look at purchasing Sheffield Wed - says although he doesn't like foreign investment but he has decided the horse has bolted. Total hypocrite

As he only just noticed how many clubs are British owned? He must’ve thought all those white Americans were homegrown.

Football focus is just a united mouth piece, talking about Wolves and they mention the rags 4 times being linked with Cunha. Why? It’s a piece of gossip, it’s not news or even worth mentioning when doing a piece on Wolves

I would say dodging FFP punishment by claiming a 60m stadium expansion evaluation allowance to cover huge losses is the definition of cheating

Or illegally tapping into our scouting intel, which would have had long term benefits to the dippers

The Nottingham post paper mocking City for failing to sell our allocation. What a moronic journalist for having to print a story about it, and she also had to mention the thousands of empty seats on show against Villa without doing any homework on the matter

Hopefully we'll do our talking on the pitch (as usual) and ram it down their throats. Some of these clubs never learn.

Yes, the BBC is shameless (anyone remember Kev, the big Blue in that series ?) in it's endless exposure of the Trafford Tramps' latest sad exploits.
But, it adds to fans of other teams absolutely despising them.
I now live in the North East, and the Geordies hate them with a passion.
The fact that the National Broadcaster is besotted with them for minor news stories, quite rightly infuriates other club's fans and their achievements.
Oh, how can they afford Cunha when they have still to get rid of several big earners ?

You only need to change the first two letters ... that's fairly near.

Rashford touched the ball about ten times. He missed a sitter in the first minute and later over-ran a one-on-one chance because of a heavy touch. The press coverage has been like something from Fantasy Island.

Image rights are not PAYE bud. They all have companies.

Majority will be & I’ll wager footballers paid more tax than industrialists.

It was a blatant PR exercise by his team. It had fuck all to do with feeding kids. There are many children in Manchester still going hungry and yet rashford is nowhere to be seen.
Don't forget this liar said he didn't read a book until he was a teenager. Did he forget the rags got him admitted to one of the best state schools in Manchester, via the back door I may add

Of course it was a PR exercise but kids got fed & I know he lied about his schooling. However it needed to be said & more needs to be done. It’s great PR but it wasn’t a politician behind it & the floor is open to anyone who wants to start standing up for the most vulnerable.

Do you mean that they didn't fact check it? Marianna Springs must be livid.

Of course it was but if one child got fed because of it, then it was worthwhile.
There's better things to get angry about.

Rashford was a bit like someone visiting the front line in war and then using stolen valour to get himself rewards like say an MBE.

His Mam and her mates should have been considered for an award but they rarely are, I don't think people are angry just commenting on why he did what he did and how he could have if he really cared have done more.

What if it was Bernardo Silva doing the exact same thing, would you be as damning?

I am not damning him, and Bernardo isn't getting any praise for anything, in fact a lot of footballers do a lot of things but they don't expect praise and more importantly they rarely get it.

Profile raising is a clever grift these days.

Don't think anyone would be bothered if he played for Everton or a suchlike club ?
But, surely the anger on here, is because the media build up MUFC (and it's players) to be a "Mother Theresa" type club, who are the only team to carry out great, charity work.
When the Trafford Tramps sell Rashford, he will struggle to have the Withington Reporter free newspaper, taking an interest in him...

I don't think people are angry mate it's just that he can now do anything he wants because he said a few things and got an MBE, pointing that out isn't "Anger" it's just pointing the grift out.

Call me cynical :)

He reminds me of these you tubers filming themselves helping out a homeless person for likes

If he did it in such a disgusting way. Yes.

Vinny gave thousands upon thousands of pounds made from his testimonial to the homeless. It was done without huge media coverage, just done locally and more importantly hoestly, the way it should be done, imo.

Yeah, sure you would.
