United Thread 2015/16

[Blue Maverick]

Do you know why United, arsenal and Liverpool are big in Asia, because they wear red shirts, red is considered lucky in that part of the world, that's why Cardiff changed strip colours because of their owner. We will just take the rest of the world thanks.

So, Gill believes that they and Liverpool have the Asian market sewn up. Fantastic, that's just what our owners would be wishing for, complacency !

Come on Sun, do your bit for us in China.

This meeting was a week ago. I was there and even asked that very question, so to speak. They may be the biggest club in Asia, so to speak, but they're not the biggest club in Manchester.

When asked about the recent rise of City, Gill said: “I’m not being arrogant here but it (Manchester City) will never be as big as Manchester United in Asia and certain markets.

Fcuk off Gill. Is that what you think we aspire to, selling shirts in Asia?

 

[Neville Kneville]

How the fuck can anyone predict which teams will be the biggest in Asia in the future ? That's impossible.

 

[It just had to be BLUE.]

Latest Luke Shaw potential to be the world's best left back..he's not even Manchester best.

If Sheikh Mansour decided he wanted to sell the club tomorrow, what he’s left there, in terms of the development of that whole area, is unbelievable and is great testament to what they have done

Aaaah the big rag hope, Sheik Mansour selling up, bless 'em.

Heart goes out to him TBH. As fans, surely we can wish a speedy recovery for a promising young English talent?

I reckon he'll be back in action for the start of next season, most are back within a year with them sort of leg breaks. The only thing I'd worry about if I was a United fan is his fitness, he looks prone to gaining weight easily and could easily balloon. It happened to Gazza and Rooney's weight has fluctuated between injuries

Although I agree with what you're saying my original point was that should he really be making quotes like this considering his current position

To be fair, he may well be right. He did seemingly try to justify his opinion. I dislike the man but he merely expressed an opinion. An inoffensive opinion. Personally, I found what he said to be trivial and of no importance. I am not sure how his opinion on this issue could have any impact on us.

I wonder what the percentage of tops worn in Asia are "official merchandize" ?

Ive been to Asia a lot and most of them look bootleg to me...

Deluded fuckers

That's my experience too. The important market, from a revenue raising perspective, is north America - lots of people and high incomes.
