Would love to see a picture of Taggert grinning his face off in December when they beat us, and one from last night.
They pay out 332M...it's just mind boggling when you think of their pathetic squad. Liverpool 264M and City 260M are second and third.

Having a bit of banter with someone on LinkedIn
That face you make when you realise it was all your own doing. I often hold Manchester United (my club) and their board up as a shining example of the damage careless and unnecessary appointments and years of under-investment and lack of up-skilling can have on your business. The United board coasted under Fergie, taking their dividends and focusing on commercialising the once great football club. Turning it at one point to the most valuable sports team on the planet. The Glaziers and Woodward focused on short term gains with no care or thought given to the future. They can be likened to Jordan Belfort from the Wolf of Wall Street and countless others, he and they would have got just as rich, if not more had they only done it the right way but had the patience to wait that bit longer. Now it has come crashing down, United have not progressed for 7 years and the blame is consistently put at the feet of the players, the manager(s), the staff. When realistically you need only look at the top bosses, the head-sheds to find the source of your problem. Once you come to realise this as an executive within a business you need to take action, plug that gap and rebuild.
Me - Under investment ?.?...hardly, how much has been spent since Fergie left
More referring to during the Fergie years, missing out on key signings because the board wouldn't pay that bit extra knowing Fergie would carry the team forwards. The money since has been spent wrongly, impulsively and for the wrong reasons. Prioritising the commericality of a player over what the squad actually needs / the manager wants. It's taken us three managers to get a new defence, anyone who watches football could tell that needed sorting out, even in SAF's last season. As an example
Me - Another myth, United always spent big on players, Ferdinand, Rooney etc., he even went to the airport to pick up Van Persie so that we (city) didn’t get him
Rio - Signed in 2002 Rooney - 2004 Glaziers didn't have majority ownership till 2005. Van Persie was the one time Fergie was properly backed by them.
