They won’t get anywhere near the ground this time

Manchester United’s 650 million fans never get near the ground anyways.

Will only count if the Rags win the European Super Cup of course

I think that is what he's on about.

They hate them because they've taken away the illusions that they had about their long-held entitlement to win things.

But they've used Woodward et al to create other illusions and social media and the press have played their part. They're going to be the first football club/entertainment outfit that has a media persona which gets fans to ignore completely that they actually play matches. It hasn't worked yet because there are still some recalcitrants who fell for the previous persona of a club that always wins and still haven't realised that the club doesn't want them to watch any football. United are all about £100 million hair do models, daring master criminals of the Greek islands and school meal delivery men. Their real rivals now aren't City (too good anyway) or Liverpool, but Coronation street. Their aim is no longer the PL title or the ... Europa league, but the BAFTAS and one day, hopefully, the Oscars. Their first attempt to premiere soon is "Pitch Invasion of the Martians".

Scum, what about the policeman who had his face slashed, no mention from the press or anyone else, no apology or anything

The evolution from Rag to Dipper is complete.

It's apposite to post this Private Eye snippet from a few years ago.

Need to keep an eye on that slimy **** Woodward.

He's trying to work his way into politics and meeting in secret with everyone from Boris to editor of The Sun.

He's after a position of sporting influence at decision making level, I wonder why...

Sporting influence?

Surely not to do with football?

Isn't he the same geezer who put sanchez on 400k a week?

Funny how ex utd directors/CEO's feel they must take up these roles.

Sneeky sly bastards the lot of them, he needs to be kept well away from anything football related.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

They need 3 new additions this summer to have a shout of staying in the top two

CEO, Manager and Head of Security.

Favourite quote from 'the Caf'

So we take a stand on behalf of all the smaller teams and the Premier League itself and this is their reward for us. Guarantee no other team would have been asked to play 4 in 8. Hated, adored, never ignored.

#glazersout :>

Hated, deplored, fanbase bored.

followed by a 90 minute documentary on how Dave Whelan nearly made it as a copper

But for the reocurring problems caused by a historic leg injury.
