This has to be a joke...... 100 quid to attend a ''fundraising'' dinner with a Q&A session with the doctors and nurses from Munich 60 years ago........ hosted by non other than Tony O' Neill

I hope Cantona isn't being asked to turn up or he'll be putting in another £90,000 claim for 'expenses'.

When whisky nose bought the league with unprecedented levels of cash it was easy to do.
The sums involved weren't that big compared to industry and the general economy.

What's really amusing now is that even with the £0.5bn turnover they have now they've not got anywhere near enough cash to do it again.
Player inflation has outstripped income inflation so much they are shopping at the same store as everyone else now.
Even more amusing is that alot of that inflation occured very recently, post Neymar.
If they had opted for a major rebuild in gpc's last season and following 2 they could have probably pulled it off within their massive budget - world class players in every position.
They didn't and they're fucked now.
I mean, a world class striker is gonna cost £200m
£200m for a couple of midfielders.
A new defence £300m - and that's only the first 11.
Studies have shown that only 40 - 50% of transfers work out.
They just can't afford it.
I love it.

Aretha has contacted me to ask for your number. He wants to know how to get half of his transfers to work out...

It’s at the hotel football, as owned by Family Guy, the Neville’s, Butt and Scholes. The rags actually objected to the plans submitted by their ex-players saying it undermined the ‘holistic vision’ (oh how they laughed when City used that word) for its strategic plans for the area.
Also, the event details says ‘doctors from the hospital that treated the victims’ not doctors who treated the victims! Finally, it says fundraising dinner, with no mention of where any proceeds might be going. All sounds a bit ghoulish and a little bit sad.

Isn't that hotel football as largely owned by Kim, with fronting from the ex-players to make it look better. No way do Neville etc have the money to throw around for that type of thing.

David May's got his theatre of dreams sleeping bag ready for the queues.

Like Shaw is suddenly becoming the best left back on the planet. He has basically taken the piss out of them for years and in his last year he suddenly decides to start putting in a shift and they are all wanking over him.

I was just having a wank thinking about Simon Jordan fucking his mums ****, now you have ruined it talking about this fat lump :-(::::

If its NOT an official club event it makes it even worse, imo...held at an address which utilizes the name of matt busby
Why are the club allowing a non official event ,charging £1,000 per table,purporting to raise funds for The Munich Trust Foundation or whatever its called?
I wonder what o,neils cut is for arranging the event? And as you say who needs support 60 years later? Bobby Charlton??
I would hope these 80 yr old doctors can provide authenticity of their employment in 1958-that in itself may be very hard to do....

How could they possibly stop it? They have no power to whatever.

But they could publicly dissociate the club from it.

If the tickets sell out and anyone is looking for spares I hear there is a bald man with a comb over that can sort you out if you meet him outside Lou macari's chippy.

Then don't. Jog on.

Incidently, David Seaman went for 1.3 million the previous season. I shouldn't have had to educate you there. Now, as you said, it was an error conversing with me. So off.

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately it may be you who will be required to “jog on” as you so tacitly put it.

But they could publicly dissociate the club from it.

This is actually never that straightforward. If you publicly dissociate, you give a barely known event significant publicity it would never have. And you'd have to do it all the time in order to avoid the charge of not acting when the next one comes along. A failure to dissociate becomes approval.
