munich and the truth

1. It was the 50s, so what? That isn't long enough ago to forget morality.
2. What exactly "was different" then that made this acceptable?
3. What is our history compares to evicting the families of dead players?
4. Why haven't United, with all of their billions of success rectified this huge mistake?

You're a one trick pony argument, trying to excuse the inexcusable.

I've been a Union man since the 70s, paid my dues to fight against the Man, been on strike against rich bosses that stamp down on the working man, so I know how hard life is.....
Some people have a agenda against United, I wonder why, it was a common practice at the time, new players needed to be housed.

back then Football teams were poor, unlike now.

as poor as football players are now compared to their clubs.

I agree, they was paid better than the average man.

So you're telling me that despite having average attendances in the 40,000 mark, and players who had a wage cap, clubs were poor? This is despite paying nearly a million (adjusted for inflation) for Albert Quixall in 1958? And double that for the rest of the purchases in 58?

Also, you didn't answer the last questions.

7/6d entrance fee, I knew Albert, he had a Scrap yard on Stamford st in Old Trafford, things were very different back then.

and a club who could afford european flights, the domestic success and housing for its staff could somehow not afford to care for the very people who gave them that privelege?

But you are going over stuff I don't know about, Charton still sees his old team mates, I've not heard him saying anything bad about the club.

Yeah, that's still £15,000 every game on gate receipts, adjusted for inflation works out at around £300,000 every week.

Which part of this are you not getting?

By the way, stop with the whole "times were different" shit. It's now becoming borderline trolling.

OK, we had Multimillion pound backing back then......and they sould have gave it all to the past players.

Charlton has been pampered by the club, paid handsomely and paraded as a trophy because he survived munich and went and won the world cup, pride and joy of Manchester, whilst his mates scrounged about with life shortening injuries without a pot to piss in, all because he got lucky and they didn't.
