Should’ve started umBRO.

Umbro was also started by brothers. The Humphreys brothers of Wilmslow.

I only recently discovered that the founder of Adidas and the founder of PUMA are brothers.

Apparently, they fell out over Adidas and one of them started up PUMA.

Learn something every day!! :)

I posted that on here not long ago, though I’m not sure which thread it was in.

Adi (Adolf) Dassler (and maybe his brother, Rudolph, too) was a big mate of Bert.

Interestingly, I’ve just read on Wikipedia that Adi persuaded Jesse Owens to use Adidas spikes during the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I bet that went down well in certain quarters.

I know. They should’ve gone with Humpers.

German brothers shouldn't even try to go into business together, better to skip that part and go straight to being rivals.

Eh?

And they, or at least one of them, were on the City board before Peter fucking Swales came along and fucked it all up.

I find it hilarious they are having this game. Living on past glory. In 10 years time there will be another reunion game to remember that night in Paris. No surprise BT are showing it

None whatsoever.

BT finding any excuse to keep these twats relevant. Is all the cash going to the "Manchester United foundation"?

Let them have their memories.

We have a fantastic future to look forward to.

Do elaborate. I know they are in Trafford, but still in ENGLAND?

The OP said wouldn't manage another TEAM in England, the rags are many things but they are certainly not a team, well maybe a team of mercenary's.
