United thread 2013/14

This will never happen but just imagine them falling through the league's as we and quite a few other clubs have done in the past few years, the swamp is sold and rented back to them to ease the financial struggles. They end up bumming around in league one for a few years until finally the administrator is called in, points are deducted and on the last day of the season they get relegated to league two. During the close season they get kicked out of the swamp due to been unable to pay the bills, which is then sold for redevelopment. They then have no where to go and in final fit of desperation end up merging with the turncoat's that are FC United......

Other than the 1st February, when I can end this crippling dryathlon, or having Holly Willoughby sat on my face and wriggling, this prospect is up there with all my most yearned for wish-lists.

Just had a right old chuckle reading this from the Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/jan/16/manchester-united-anderson-enigma

Some little corkers in here on ""The great Anderson enigma" such as

Anderson had been signed the previous summer after two seasons with Porto, Ferguson convinced by a glowing endorsement from his brother, Martin. In his recent book, the former manager recalled: "Martin said: 'Alex, he's better than Rooney.'"

or this from the man himself

In September, yet again, Anderson said: "I think it's a big season for me. However, I don't want to say that and then pick up another injury. I have often started seasons well, played six or seven games and then got injured. I'll tell you at the end of the season if it's been a big season for me."

had me in stitches

There's no enigma about Anderson, he's just very average, I've not seen many Brazilian players with such a poor first touch.

From MEN:

Manchester United fans have slammed the club for selling discounted tickets to students in a bid to boost Old Trafford attendances.

The club sometimes offers a few hundred tickets to Manchester University Students' Union for fixtures that have not sold out.

The discounted tickets - priced £24 - would normally be sold at £37 to season ticket holders.

They are currently being offered to any Manchester University student who can show their ID for the up-coming game against Cardiff. The university has 40,000 students.

As the Reds have struggled this season under new manager David Moyes, some games at Theatre of Dreams have not been sell-outs and the club has moved to fill the stadium.

A spokeswoman for Manchester Students' Union said: "We're an outlet for Manchester United. They set the prices. We don't get them for every game, just on an ad hoc basis.. “We get a couple of hundred at most. United set the price and we just sell them. We've been doing it now for a year.

"It's been quite popular with the students. They go quite quickly but obviously they have to show a valid student ID and have to be prepared to show it at the ground."

Some United fans vented their frustration on Twitter.

Gary Sandiford wrote: "What a joke? Talk about looking after your season ticket holders!"

Paul Caton tweeted directly to the club: "I'm a season ticket holder. What about me?"

United did not respond to requests for comment.

Weren't there Bluemooners giving out about the same thing for the Plzen game?
Mind you, It's a wonder they have any arrangement with MSU given the 659 billion year waiting list for a COC ticket.

Fair play to United* on this. More clubs should do the same. Personally, I'd like to see spare tickets discounted and sold to (perhaps) less well off sections of society, too but, I can understand the long term benefits of getting "tomorrow's leaders" inside, while you're at it.




*God, that hurt.
