They really need to dump all this class of 92 rubbish now. Clear the decks and start again, its holding them back.

From a personal point of view i hope they keep finding jobs for the boys for years to come, hoping 'the united way' myth comes true. It won't, it didn't exist and it's great to see them desperately clinging on to it.
 
Maybe they're not quite as angelic as many would like to think...? Lifted from their own Redcafe site...

Manchester United are facing a repairs bill running into thousands of pounds because of alleged misbehaviour by supporters that has had a knock-on effect for the security arrangements surrounding their FA Cup tie at Shrewsbury Town next Monday.

The Premier League club will be asked to compensate Derby County after a significant number of seats were damaged in the away end when the two teams met in the FA Cup fourth round, resulting in a 3-1 win for Louis van Gaal’s team.

Derby have already informed United about what their ground staff found on the morning after the match and intend to charge the Old Trafford club for the relevant repairs, alleging that more than 300 seats were broken or in some cases pulled off whole.

That, in turn, is one of the principal reasons why Shrewsbury have abandoned plans to increase the 9,875 capacity at New Meadow with temporary seating when they host United for a place in the quarter-finals.

Shrewsbury had initially contemplated putting up two extra areas of seating as they did when they played Chelsea in the Capital One Cup last season, meaning another 500 fans could get in.

However, the League One club have been in touch with Derby and have also been informed there were incidents of ticketless fans trying to storm the gates when United played at Cambridge in last season’s competition.

After talks between the relevant authorities, Shrewsbury have decided against the extra seating plan because of the additional security risk and high policing costs.

“Each fixture is looked at on a case-by-case basis and all circumstances are taken into consideration,” Chief Inspector James Baker, event tactical commander for West Mercia police, said. “We have an excellent relationship with the football club and, having jointly discussed the options, we support the club’s decision not to provide additional temporary seating.”

United have been allocated 1,500 tickets, despitre receiving more than 9,000 applications, and the front two rows of seats will be cordoned off with netting.

Didn't they storm the refreshment stand and nick all the food and money at an FA Cup tie a couple of years back? A club in Yorkshire IIRC (might have been Halifax)

Hardly a surprise, they always had more than their share of loons and Danny Dyers.

Indeed.

They are turning into the Stretford Dippers more and more each day.
 
I may be wrong but it does appear that the person(s) running that club knows FA about football. It is beautiful to watch.

Nicky Butt plucked from the apex of football coaching by Swampie headhunters. How can Salford City afford to lose a talent like that?

Oh dear well thats Gary Neville's way home whilst maintaining his dignity as a football manager gone - some friend Butt is.

I think you're getting confused with our lot. I remember someone trying to get the corrugated roof on our coach after a trip to some Yorkshire town after a cup match.

The DT also piling it in with a picture article, ideal for rags fans, of what happened to the individual players, as if Beckham and Neville need more coverage.

Even the idiot child, Savage, always left out of family reunions gets a mention.
