Rory Smith was on the Monday Night Club (BBC 5LIve) discussing utd's woes. Pauls Scholes says he couldn't understand why utd didn't go for Donnarumma?

Smith says Donnarumma wanted utd because of their history, BUT they couldn't match City's wages!!!

So the CL winner wanted NO European football over us??????????

He's a classic rag!

Hes a lying bastard easy to hide behind "I was told" I text the show and accused him of making it up and he should name his sources was its Slimy Stones the Rag PR later Shay Given said name your source Rory and he back tracked a bit
It was also mentioned as to he's not a Pep player so I pointed out that a source, Marti Perarnau with proper inside knowledge, unlike Smith, had said that Pep wanted him before he signed Ederson

This is an embarrassing article with not a scrap of new information. He still doesn't know who owns the club, and is still pushing the line the only reason Abu Dhabi (whoever that is) only purchased City was to promote the state's reputation. Sheikh Mansour has more than quadrupled the value of his original investment and US firm Silver Lake have bought 23 percent of City. Sheikh Mansour has a huge investment portfolio in the UK including the tech sector, Education, property, and the financial sector. So far he has made multiple billions of profit. Does this mean the new Co-op live arena has only been developed for "music washing" purposes. It is sad to see how low the UK media has fallen when some elements of it have become fixated on conspiracy theories.

The name of the arena being the Co-op live gives a clue. Surely if that was a sports washing move would it not be called something like ‘The visit Abu Dhabii’ arena or some other company based in the UAE.

What he fails to understand that City’s time to influence this hearing started this time last year and finished a few weeks after that. It’s out of the club’s and Premier League’s hands now and both parties have to wait until the findings are released. Yet he chooses to blame City rather than the premier league, how crazily bolted together 100 odd charges in the hope they’d get the club on something.

A week almost since Chelsea were hit with 74 financial charges, which they've accepted their guilt on.
I've heard very little reporting or mention of it in the media, social media, or general chat between fans.

No one seems to care. Paddy Power hasn't even bothered with his long line of shit jokes on Twitter

Two reasons i suspect

1 - Chelsea haven't won many titles of late. They're a mid table club who don't really threaten

2 - their owners are white Americans.

The reverse order is the main reason...without a shadow of a doubt

Maybe Pep told Trafford of his plans beforehand, Mr Given, and Trafford was OK with the cup games and any game where Donnarumma is rested.

The journalist school of football

Man U or liverpool - find a positive angle to any story
City - find the negatives.

At his age it’s a great opportunity to learn from the best. He was only a championship player

Not like the BBC to pick out the negative bit of Shay's view
 
Another United article on BBC United - Mediacity.

Manchester United: Are club showing any signs of progress under Ruben Amorim?

Senior Manchester United officials remain fully supportive of Ruben Amorim and insist on most statistics the Reds are performing better than last season.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

The comments are brilliant.

The BBC are just trolling you at this point.

BBC articles and headlines for Man Utd in a single day:
Are Man Utd showing any signs of progress under Amorim?
Mainoo doesn’t have the right partner.
Amorin needs to “relax” approach.
I am not going to change formation – Amorim.
Quality not there – Scholes

'Analysis' articles in the past 7 days about the following clubs:

Liverpool: 3
Arsenal: 6
Tottenham Hotspur: 7 (including Levy fall-out)
Bournemouth: 3
Chelsea: 7
...
Manchester United: 22.

This needs to stop.

Really, do we need yet another United story BBC. Its beyond a joke now, you are not sponsored by them, we pay the license fee and expect equal coverage of the other 91 teams. Why is someone else bar the Usual BBC United official PR Stone writing about United again.

Actually, I do think we should all start raising formal complaints to the BBC on this, as it is genuinely becoming an issue in terms of imbalance / impartiality (and reader irritation!). I will make a start!

Simon Stoned's day off, but he left strict instructions to keep the quota up

Question for those who understand the process better...

Based off this article, the presentation of the case took 3 months, then we've had 9 months while the panel have been assessing it (feels like longer than a year?!).

At what point do those assessing it make the decision?

Would they at some point during the 9 months have made the decision between them but be in the process of writing all that up?

Would they only start writing it up once they've completed assessing it, or would they do it as they go?

Probably daft questions, I know.

The notion that Donnarumma would consider a move from the CL holders to a club that hasn’t won the league for a dozen seasons, has had a revolving managerial door in that time, isn’t in Europe, has just been knocked out of the League Cup by Grimsby, whose stadium is woefully dated and falling to pieces, that has become a graveyard for talented footballers because he considered it to be more glamorous due to what happened before he was a teenager is actually comical.

Imagine demeaning yourself like that on national radio.

Why would he sign for a team that has won only eight games out of thirty one.
