United Thread - 2021/22

And, if they don’t buy their ECL tickets, they will probably be sanctioned by the club, and have their STs confiscated for certain games.

I think you mean 'rewarded' rather than 'sanctioned'.

“ Iheir futile attempt for top 4 over, nothing in the press and the 'who will finnish top 4' thread on sad cafe has disapeared

Barring a mathematical miracle of Spurs, Arsenal, losing all their games and drawing with each other. Even then United have to get three or four goals a match to beat Arsenal on GD. The Fat Lady has the mike in her hand. The press are in total denial. Perhaps the Rags should be dubbed:” Failures Elect.”

The Glazers have given them the managers they've wanted plus all the financial backing required, out bidding and out paying everyone else - utd fans' protests are basically down to the fact that they aren't winning anything any more. An entitled fan base that didn't sign up to this, especially with city and liverpool miles ahead.

Saying that, I really do hope that the Glazers get forced out, as American owners are the biggest threat to football in this country.

Bang on. This is about trophies. I genuinely think it's worse now that Liverpool are as good as they are. I think they can live with us as we're not close when it comes to their little game of trophy counting. However, the Dippers are really eating away at them.

I know a few Rags in work and not one of them is too bothered about us winning the title - I think it would piss them off if we won the CL

That said, us and the Dippers vying for trophies is what nightmares are made of for them.

Walk out on the 73rd minute, which means they will have paid to get in. That's going to hurt the Glazer's lol they will still have the same gate money and the staff get to leave early.

I'm sure someone has said it, but why 73?

Why not 58 in reference to their new fan protest group?

If it's a real poster i dont understand it.

Are they say that Trafford is really Manchester and that Manchester is really Trafford ?.
The real Manchester is the City of Manchester which Trafford is not, but is part of greater Manchester. Perhaps the poster means Greater Manchester is the real Manchester and our Manchester is ....well I dont know.

These red twats do my head in pretending to be from our City. Just fuck off !!

I couldn't quite understand either. The wall of the warehouse where they have rag muriels faces outwards towards the big roundabout and traffic for Salford passes it travelling towards the poster.l think that the border is on the bridge shortly afterwards.
It ain't proper Manchester for sure and equally sure those making the daft sign are not proper Mancunians.

90 - 17 (years of Glarezs ownership) = 73.

Just reading the Caf thread on whether or not they want to be playing in Europe next season. Some saying they'd rather miss out altogether than play in the Conference League, with others saying it's a chance to give fringe players a run and win something "Let's face it, we should be winning the Conference League" is a quote used a few times so it'd be funny as fuck if they got eliminated by the Albanian Super League 3rd placed team in the QF's.

What none of them have realised is that if they're in the ECL, season ticket holders will still be forced to buy tickets, even though many won't bother going. ut if they're not in Europe at all, then there's no matchday revenue for European games, which probably brings in £35-40m minimum, even in the Europa League.

So if by some chance they do miss out on Europe completely then they'll probably be down around £120m on what they'd get from being in the CL.

They are in a major crisis where their rivals bank at least £150m each more next season and they lose up to £100m just on TV money. That doesn’t include other affected sponsor deals or the huge debt interest. This day has been a long time coming.

The tick has finally tocked!

They are being battered commercially across the globe by LFC and in their back yard by City. A perfect storm.

Because 73 - 90/6 = 58. 90 minutes and 6 managers since fergie left.
