Didn't look like the kind of bloke who'd frequent here - the braces suggested not! ;-)

You'd be amazed who frequents this place mate.

I was waiting for that - and deserved it lol

According to Sky:

Manchester United manager David Moyes has been given assurances that significant funds are available to him for this month and the summer transfer windows, writes Sky Sports News' Chief News Reporter Bryan Swanson.

Even the rags I know (and I know some blinkered, bitter, delusional fuckers) are not falling for this anymore.
The machine will really start grinding through it's gears now. United plc don't give a flying fuck about the match going rags. Merchandise and sponsorship is all they care about. In the past, they could back up their marketing push by showing on field success. Sky would show them in glorious HD dry bumming the likes of palace, wba and hull as if it was some kind of stellar fixture. All the gullible sponges in the far east and the Indian sub continent could snuggle up underneath their manyoo quilt and watch the scum put on a show.
This season's fayre is a little different though. Getting up in the middle of the night to watch them get their pants pulled down at the swamp is going to become a bit tiresome. Most, if not all of these foreign rags, follow them so they can say, "I'm a winner. I follow a team of winners. That makes me a winner". Take that away from them and united plc are in trouble. The raw, naked and ruthless way they have marketed the club has led them to the American stock markets. Fine, if you're successful and are producing the goods on the pitch and winning trophies. Absolutely catastrophic, if what's being served up doesn't match up to the promises and hype. The last throw of the dice is to offer reassurances of "transition" and "look who we're trying to sign" or "huge war chest available". Eventually, even the thickest of the lobotomised rags will start to think, "I think I'm being had over".
Tick followed tock followed tick followed tock.

Very good post, this, 'Transition' means accepting a Jock no mark drowning in a sea of the unattainable.

I've got the missus' stockings on at the moment.














Um. I said that out loud, didn't I?

 

[Sigh]

What about all their short-term notes? Gotta be paid with or without acceleration clauses due to failure to qualify for the CL. Rags / Glazers maxed-out already. Can't be borrowing from x to fund transfers when creditor y is on edge and wants paying, and x knows he'll be at the end of the line when it comes to pay-off time. Can't secure any more borrowing on real assets. Intangibles are paper thin and getting thinner. Their failure to garner interest during their far east buy a piece of our Ponzi scheme tour a couple of years ago was a clear sign.

Eh? How are Real Madrid able to block the rags promoting a local academy lad?
