There's an interview with Gary Neville in the Financial Times of all places. https://www.ft.com/content/addee00d-0067-4b10-bb99-1d285574500e

Here's a quote that will make you smile:

You “can’t deny” the impact of Abu Dhabi’s investment, he responds, arguing that no UK developer would have, 15 years ago, spent huge sums of money on the area around City’s ground. “They’re now destroying us at the football, which is a problem, so I don’t like that part of it. But if you look at it economically, there is no doubt that what Abu Dhabi have done over that side of the city has been powerful and wouldn’t have been achieved by any other money locally or nationally.”

Geography obviously not his strong point. The rags are as much a part of the city of Manchester as Grimsby Town, who play in Cleethorpes.

The Glazer family can fuck off and when they have, fuck off some more. The deadline has passed and still no announcement. I've got 5,000 zebra pants (XXL) and 10,000 green and yellow scarfs to flog, I thought I'd make a killing today but these fuckers will delay announcing that they are staying until after they've been thrashed in the final.

Haaland is nothing on Romelu Lukaku

They spent £25m more on Sancho than Haaland.

Just let that sink in...

And we got £10 million from that deal as well.

I hope he’s as successful as owner of the rags as he has been as owner of Ines cycling team, which has enjoyed nowhere near the level of achievement it had as Team Sky.

Jiffy Bags at the ready!

And we got £10 million from that deal as well.

It was £15m (20 per cent sell on) plus the £10m original purchase price.

£25m for a kid who is still yet to prove he is elite.
