Ah so they only turn up in numbers for the big games. That’s the definition of glory hunters.
When you're in a greenhouse , i wouldn't be throwing stones. All big clubs struggle to fill their grounds on what are seen as minor games. At the end of the day United still have significantly more in their ground and we have our fair share of tourists
 
Whatever the issues with Mourinho, who the hell does Pogba think he is with this constant media baiting? He's got form for it, and seems to think he's above the club. Every club.

I think this is the inevitable consequence if paying disproportionate amounts for hyped players, or any player I guess. Pay £100m+ for someone and they become bigger than the club. Undroppable. It's bad enough if the player lives up to his price tag but the likes of Neymar and Pogba are taking the piss.

Hope we never get involved in this sort of thing.

actually I’m just pointing out their hypocrisy. Personally couldn’t give a shit about empty seats but they seem to be obsessed with it.
 
When Mancini was falling out with everyone, did our captain Kompany head to the papers to air grievances?

Even if they get rid of Mourinho they'll have players that the next manager will be afraid of falling out with.

Yet the media bang on about our shortfall in attendances at every opportunity but very rarely do so for any other club. You only have to look at the recent press articles about City allegedly overstating the attendances for last season's games against Liverpool (by 5,500) and Spurs (by 8,500) when that's clearly incorrect. One in six seats empty for the Spurs game and one in ten for the Liverpool game? I don't think so. The same articles stated that the GMP's figures for attendances at Old Trafford now miraculously agree with United's own official attendances down to the last spectator when only a few years ago they exposed United for persistently overstating their attendances by many thousands.

I agree that Utd's are suspect. No two sets of figures match exactly. The police should be quoting how many people actually go through the turnstile. The clubs should quote two sets of figures - 1) how many tickets sold 2) How many of the tickets sold actually turn up. All clubs know how many fans go thru the gates. A friend who is a season ticket holder at Utd told me years ago that the club put them under pressure to turn up. I don't have a problem with fans being put under a bit of pressure to turn up if they have season tickets, although i understand the argument that they are free to do what they like, i don't support this point of view. Quite easy to have a small amount of tolerance, but i'd have something along the lines of 5 strikes and you ticket is pulled, and it goes for reallocation
 
No where near what them fuckers have I'd say 30% to 40 % of there fan base in the ground are tourists
I was at the village hotel in Hyde yesterday,went to see what their function room looks like when it's set up for a wedding.
The gaff was awash with foreign rags.
