United Thread - 2022/23

[Gingers Dad]

£110m bid for Felix turned down.
They turn to his teammate Cunha, who is apparently telling his agent not answer the phone to them.
Offer to double Casemiro's wages to £380k week stalled as player has no interest.
Ajax winger Antony doesn't want to go to United.
And Frankie would rather take a wage cut than talk to them. Great wage reduction tactic for any club now - 20% less or we'll accept United's bid.

It's daily rejections! There going to beat my record for one summer as a shy 16 year old, several times over!

Have a feeling from Ronaldo's comments he's really going to put the boot in once the window shuts and he's safely in Italy or Spain.

Ronaldo will still be on the payroll when he is in Spain or Italy. Just like Lukaku and Sanchez

Got told I was a 'Bitter Bertie' last night. A colleague of a friend of mine was waxing lyrical about the old days:"Football's not the same anymore." "It's changed so much I don't recognise the game anymore." The usual self-pitying bleating that these no-marks are famous for.
I said: "No. It's still fundamentally the same game, it's just that you rags can longer outbid EVERY club in the Prem to get what you want. You can longer have referees and other officials ask 'how high?' when you tell them to jump. You can no longer rely so much on people like Howard Webb and Mark Clattenburg to get you over the line when you need a win."
And his response was, "No wonder people call you Bitter Berties."

I was hoping I would be able to have a serious conversation with the man about football. Prem league, Championship, World Cup etc, anything to do with football, but I would have had a more intellectually fulfilling conversation with a bus stop than this cretin.

When you know you can’t ‘win’ a discussion, and your only recourse is an insult…

Even if The Glazers sell up tomorrow the rags are in such a mess it'll take years for them to recover and to catch up to us.

This is no quick fix. The club is absolutely rotten to the core. Just enjoy the meltdown

True and all this speculation on the sale take the spot light of the glazers and the players!

If your the Glazers though you cash out now unless selling the club for say 4/5 billion in the long run not going to give all the glazers a big enough cut because of what we don’t know in what they owe they’ll just keep the cash cow..

Hahaha these rags surely have to realise at some point how much they are being used by all this clickbait, I've heard Jeff bezos is also interested and is considering joint ownership with God.
The best of it is a vast majority of them actually believe this shite, I find myself purposely sitting near them in the canteen so I can listen in on their "football" chats

I'm all for it - Pope still won't know who they are............

Buying the club from Radcliffe will not automatically solve their issues. The absolute mess of a squad will need 5+ years to sort out.

Which is a long long time in football. I won't bash my eyelids at this scenario and call it doom. Before we can talk about them being "back", they first must establish a solid infrastructure internally, be patient and intelligent in their purchases and employment and they must have a very solid squad willing to run through walls.

A VERY long way away. And that's if the Yanks sell.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

I am kind of dreaming that history repeats itself.

Imagine us signing the tranny and him back heeling the goal that relegated the cunts.

I would probs piss my kecks laughing

No thanks..............

 

[tommybooth]

They must have another 5 or 6 linked with them this morning. Headless chickens are us.

While winning games pushing for top four and trophies! If they sell up set it all up perfectly finishing between 8th and 5th still won’t make the rags happy maybe for a season or two while the new owner buzz is still around but after that they need to deliver on the pitch! If it doesn’t happen will the rag fans be wanting another new owner?!

 

[Blue Mist]

Isn’t the guy worth about 12 billion? Is he really about to blow almost half his money on them. Then spend another billion tarting up the swamp and another billion on players that the rag masses will demand? Doubt it

He's worth 4 billion not 12. If he bought he would have to borrow. He has stated he has no interest in owning a minority stake.
The Glazers have said they might sell a minority stake so where is the story ?
