very suspicious what is going on with Ratty & Sky, it will all make sense soon when the bids come in for the Rags with Neville on the board & sky with shares.

I remember when Sky were trying to get shares!

They broke into the ground ffs. Few coppers left with gashed faces. But no.

"the fans are upset"

"this has been brewing for years"

"the super league decision was a joke"

"the Premier league should come down on owners hard "



Fuck off

Let us not forget. Peter Lim the owner of valencia is the co-owner of Salford fc. He's just trying to protect his investment rat boy. And yes hates United owners. Maybe he wants to invest in United.

It's all bullshit folks. And whilst all this spouting crap, Sourness was spot on. It was dangerous, its a crime, fans shouldnt have broke in.

I’m glad Micah is on the panel for some much needs blue cheerleading BUT he is a poor pundit, far too much sitting on the fence and cosying up to Keane and co plus I don’t think he is intelligent enough to get his point across. It was absolutely tee’d up for him today a few times to be the voice of us city fans and tell everyone what is actually the crack and he just dodged it or talked in riddles. Souness was closest to letting rip on sky and the rags but just reined it in a bit.

When he was about to be challenged by David Jones, the Sky Host, Neville told him not to interrupt and proceeded to carry on with his invective and lecture us all on "what is best for football" narrative. A total misuse of his position and platform as a Sky pundit.

Yep, noticed that too. He basically took over today, thought he was running the programme, putting the presenter in his place like that - Jones should be complaining about him as well.

In the Guardian - Timeline: Glazers and their turbulent reign at Manchester United


July 2005 Glazer family members make their first visit to Old Trafford. They end up being driven away in a police van for their own safety amid angry protests.

2006 ‘Love United Hate Glazer’ stickers are put on Old Trafford seats after a goalless draw with Middlesbrough in May as United head for a second-placed finish.

2010 The anti-Glazers green-and-gold campaign begins. In the same year it emerges that the club’s debt has hit £716.5m and that the Glazer family have taken £10m out of the club in “management and administration fees” and personally borrowed a further £10m in the past year. Before the year ends the Glazers pay off a high-interest hedge-fund £220m debt accruing 16.25% interest. This follows the raising of £504m in a bond issue.


I wonder why it went quiet for 3 seasons in a row between 06/07 to 08/09?

Lovely kun montage at the end of motd:-)

That Sky gave a platform to allow Neville to spout his shit is unforgiveable. This had fuck all to do with any planned Super League and all to do with entitled rags. He should have been told to shut up and wind his neck in immediately. The scenes inside and outside the ground were a disgrace. Totally unacceptable.

Neville doesnt speak for anyone other than rags and Sky are not the guardians of football.

As others have suggested on here, I think there is something more sinister going on here with Sky allowing Neville free reign to spout his shit and whip up a storm around the Glazers.

The coverage around the ESL was completely hysterical and while Neville’s motivation is likely entirely selfish - he’s presumably pitching himself to be involved in a rival bid - that course of events would fit with Sky’s own agenda.

If the PL had anything about them they would declare the game a forfeit and that would stop anything like this happening again. But in the meantime I wouldn’t expect Neville to be muzzled anytime soon.

He's the new Barton. Remember when they did a rehabilitation job on our Joey, made him out to be some kind of philosopher, a man of wisdom? Then threw him away again.

That is Gary Neville. Lap it up Gaz, they're using your inability to control your mouth or engage your brain, or the values you were brought up with.

History will see the funny side. And maybe you'll look back in years to come, and think, I didn't need to do that. I didn't need to give them such great TV, I would have kept my job. Why did I give in like that?

And then you'll be like the rest of us who find out too late what an obvious fucking twat we can be. And you'll hate the people around you, wish you'd listened to the ones you ignored, the ones who told you the obvious truth.

That your mouth is way too big, and you don't use it responsibly! That when someone tells you that, you go full tilt. And that's what's happened to you Gaz.

Kloppy nailed you - anyone can talk shit from a studio. The real world has to account for the consequences of their words. It's not brave, it's foolish. You end up disconnected. People love it, because people don't think enough. That's why only a few get given the responsibility of talking in public, of leading. Because they have to think.

They gave you that chair Gary, and what did you do with it? Let your mouth run the show. Show Kloppy again Gary, what a big, clever man you are.

Everyone who didn't give into emotion, will know you for the fool you are. But there's one thing, being a fool, and another, encouragin other people to act like fools, and glossing over the element of violence against ordinary people doing their job.

Trump was bought up that way. He had no morals whatsoever. He didn't get it twisted inside. Not a chance.

But you did, Gary. You got your morals all messed up. Not too late to clarify, is it? Violence is not acceptable? It was a mistake? Nah, don't let that ruin the message you wanna put out. No one can stop you, can they. They're not even trying. Because your soul doesn't matter a jot to them - watching you blow it all publicly is damned good TV. But carry on, tell us again, what you really believe in. You're not a hypocrit. You're sure of it. Never been surer, have you Gary?

All because Kloppy tweaked your nose, and your mouth hasn't stopped flapping since.

Moron.

 

[JRockBlues]

If I wasn't following the social media platform blackout I would have certainly been asking SkySports if they were standing by Neville's glorification of a violent protest.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Sadly they’ll never be called out on it

I reckon they will. Both will already be rehearsing their scripted comments and a list of PR dept produced 'lines to take' (if asked).
