United Thread - 2022/23

[Shirley]

Top 4 and CL is crucial for them with that wage bill

 

[kippaxwarrior]

£60M for a player who turns 31 in 6 months and will be on £300,000+

Talk about panic buying

I was reading the caf earlier and the protest about glazers.
One of them asked if they would be happy with the glazers if they signed a few players.
Someone replied that the issue isn't signings it's the money they are taking from the club.

Why does it matter if the owners are taking money from the club? Answer I'm sure would be because they then can't sign top level players so it is about signings.

Also no coincidence that the protests always align with the transfer windows.

They have no clue, mate. Comes from following Gary Chuckle who has no grasp of business at all.

Everyone off to the Renal Thread....

What? Are they signing Renal? He’s useless.

 

[Blue Til Death]

You're shite lad, you're a dodgy kebab after a night out. Nobody wants you.

Or they take the fucker and suffer the consequences, that’s my experience with kebabs :-)

Neville on a new podcast (Diary of a CEO) saying City will never be as big as utd. Don't have the history apparently.

To be fair to him (and not saying I agree with him fully) he speaks well on other stuff to do with politics, mental health, the media in this country etc.

Apart from the fact that he is totally ignorant of the salient facts? See his rant re UAE, City and Yemen, for example. He doesn’t even understand what a shareholder is ffs.

 

[KS55]

No chance of a points deduction, they didn’t get one last time. Quietly brushed under the carpet like all their wrongdoings. Cunts

Tbf, they can’t punish a club for items beyond their control.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Yeah I’m confused with that one. Not sure how Arab money and Dubai come into it.

This Apollo group that’s expressed an interest, from Wiki …

“In September 2020, Apollo entered into a $5.5 billion real estate investment partnership with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).”

Could be nothing of course.
