Few years ago when they were relevant a chap in my local who was a avid rag fan who week in week out would bang on how fantastic his club are and was frustrated he could never get a ticket to the home game. A few weeks later a rag mate of mine came in the pub and said look I’ve got u a ticket for this weekend at the swamp to which he replied he couldn’t go because his missus needed a lift to the hairdressers that day. Gobby tosser.

Same here, whilst at work in Trafford Park some years back there was one who knew everything about the Rags, could quote you any stat you wanted but could never get a ticket for his beloved team. A guy came over from Holland to work at our place for a couple of weeks and he mentioned he would love to see them. Big mouth opened up, can't get tickets, waiting list as long as your arm etc etc, another lad then proceeded to drive the cloggy to the swamp where he got him a ticket for the next league match, whilst there he rang the Rag tool and asked if wanted one. I can't remember the excuse but needless to say he didn't go. This was in their so called glory days like your bloke.

Man United are a horror story... it's Woodward who needs to be fired https://mol.im/a/7566017 via http://dailym.ai/android

But the idiots who write this sort of shite just do it to pander to the massed ranks of the Swampies. Woody is bringing in mega money for the Glazers to take out, he will only be sacked when the cash cow looks like drying up, until then he is safe and he knows it.
 
"Humble but Arrogant"

Apparently this is Utd`s new recruitment ethos - "Humble but Arrogant"... "Young and preferably English"..." respect for team-mates but self-belief under pressure".

#mufc are keen to continue with the summer policy of signing young players (preferably British). The key is youth and character, but the club are also looking to recruit players who are 'humble but arrogant' — respect for team-mates but self-belief under pressure #mulive [times]
Is this the hoped for market differentiation by the has beens ? They have tried everything else for the past 6 years so might as well give this a go now.

No decent, established or young talent of any nationality will go anywhere near them. Not even crawling over the oft quoted broken glass of days of yore.

Cheap and cheerful is what their recruiters actually mean. It`s bargain basement time for the Rags who are now operating on a wing and a prayer.

Strange but nowhere in there does it state they need to be good at footie!

Just wanna see and save the one of Mancini giving it large to Fergie .. looked for ages .. anyone ?
 
It's perverse.

A successful business model divorced from its core function. The rags make oceans of cash because of what they are, not what they do.

It's the American model where brand trumps performance.

For now at least.


Hype over substance - perfect money making ideology .
