United Thread - 2021/22

[mat]

I have yet to be impressed by Greenwood. I wonder if he was at Watford or somewhere would anyone even notice him.

200 million bid from Newcastle incoming

The best bit is nobody would want to buy any of their players, they are stuck with them until they leave on a free, or are paid off and sold for peanuts to the Italians.

It’ll take close to £800 mill for them to build a new team, and there is no way their owners are doing that!

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

I think it's time we sought legal action for them to drop Manchester from their name.

They are ruining our brand. ;-))

They're an embarrassment too Greater Manchester

I think they are in a long-term structural decline. The club is set up as if it was still the 1990s on and off the pitch. The Glazers' business model is based purely on growing the share price and taking as much cash as possible for themselves. I think they are ready to sell now but the buyers are not queueing up because, although the United brand is huge, there is not enough value for an investor. The Saudis could have afforded it but see Newcastle as a better long-term investment. United are the sports world equivalent of Marcus and Spencer.

Changed the store name for you.

Buffon recently said Ronaldo ruined the team in Turin, it's all about adapting the whole team to his needs while neglecting the rest of the team and tactics to beat the opposition, Juve regressed and United are doing the same for a guy approaching 40 years old.

.... and don't I just love it!

Awww; bless.

Maybe Neville the pied piper of scally's can get them all to break the law again and Sky can televise it while he calls them the saviours of football. Twat!

It's actually "hearty", a tribute to Laurel and Hardy.

I watched the Luke Shaw interview.
I revel in the rags suffering like the next blue.
They have got serious teamwork problems in that squad.

If it was us then Fernandinho would have it ironed out immediately.
