For all their criticisms of us, no club has inflated the market more times than United. Most British transfer records (5). First ever £50,000/week player in England. First ever £300,000/week player in England. £30m fees in 2002 that still look huge today even before being put through an inflation adjustment calculator.
They hide behind their weak clichés and buzzwords/phrases ("The United Way", etc.) to make themselves feel better, but United have no high ground at all to stand on. Some are actually starting to see it since the ruthless sacking of Moyes and their desperate attempts to sign any big or emerging star in Europe with eye-watering wage packages. Luke Shaw will earn more than Kompany and Silva if that Goal story is true.
David Moyes was a sacrificial lamb. the poor bugger actually thought he was "the chosen one". he was hired simply because no top manager would have been daft enough to follow the piss can. had Moyes succeeded they would have claimed a masterstroke but they knew deep down he had no chance, they only won their last title cos we let them, fergie knew without referees and diving they were fucked. so they uproot wee Davey from a comfy little job and string him up. now van gaul can't really lose, he'll be given money that moyes had no chance of getting.
what they've overlooked is this time next year they'll need another manager, Louis is a fucking nutcase.
