United thread 2012/13 (inc merged IPO thread)

Another poor display from Rooney.

But..didn't you see that world class goal he scored? :O

I know Rooney and the pisscan are not getting along but why oh why did he not let the scouse granny shagger come out for the second half?

Not been a great week down at the swamp has it?

The one positive is that they should've been beaten today!

LOL

I wouldn't exactly say the wheels have fallen off, but a few nuts that have definitely come loose.

The derby is looming very large... Maybe 2 in a week? But whatever happens to them in the replay it's a big, big week for us!


I wonder who'll fear who the most going into that game...?

;-)

Beckham ahead of Messi in earnings says it all - brand before ability

Well Messi has been in football 13 years less and is only £60M off I would say time in football means he is highest earning

Yep, I think it's overall earnings/wealth. Good to note that the Rags have put 4 of them in the top 10.

Another stat for the pub, me thinks.

While it is true. Beckham was a brand and sacked off because of it, Ronaldo is the 2nd best footballer on the planet after Bale and most money, Rooney is a ****. In fact I can only imagine Rio is on there through wages alone while the rest are mostly due to endorsements

It also reflects the sponsorship deals that are available to players who sign for the world's most hyped club. The oft-repeated claim that such and such a player has turned down offers of higher wages to sign for them is disingenuous to say the least.

 

[silverback]

Wio gets his fortune from sponsorship? A bit from Camel cigs but do hump backed bridges need promoting?

 

[mancunial]

N that Cnut beckam said their only going to city for the money

 

[Marvin]

has Rio got away with it again?

I know there's still time for him to be charged, but I thought we'd have heard by now? Maybe it's because they played on the Sunday and the referee report is not yet in

My understanding is that a large portion of their income comes from image rights (which isn't reported or quoted for some reason...hmmm??). I'd love to see the details from the Inland Revenue investigation about these kind of payments.

How credible is the above list BTW?
