United Thread - 2023/24

[KentBlue]

Red media never mention their spending, commentators seem to go out of their way to mention ours but never ever either of the redshirts. Any other club would be the subject of relentless scrutiny from media hacks demanding to know why the team are so fucking mediocre despite costing more than any other team: but Sly and the rest will not -under any circumstances- allow their favourites to be shown in a negative light.

Now, ask me again you raggy bastards from my favourite nearby hostelry, with your new and cleanly ironed replica shirts and the picture of the swamp on your iPhones, WHY are you the most despised club in world football?

Catweazle: I'm willing to pay over the odds to get the right man in.

Faceless Rag ****: I'll ring Bayern,Real, Barca,PSG, Liverpool and City to see who we can poach.

Catweazle: I was thinking more....Newcastle...?

FRC: Right...

Not a surprise to see the rags squad most expensively ever assembled, and excludes ~£180M spent on Hojlund, Mount and Onana.

Probably goes without saying that a squad has never existed with a bigger delta in ‘cost’ v ‘worth’, in fact probably not even close.

The new line in the boozer is we're giving the kids a chance and it's not important where they finish the next few years.

I didn't know where to start but managed to have 30 mins of fun until he fucked off muttering 115 or something like that.

So like most scouts and sporting directors then? Guess he’ll have to give that laptop back to Newcastle should he leave too.

They haven’t had such meticulous profiling of players since they bought the 807th best right back on their list in Wan-Bissaka.

Maybe, just maybe, the rags financial situation is slowly being shown up for what it is.
Maybe questions are going to be asked.
Maybe the questions can't be satisfactorily answered.
Maybe the edifice is about to crumble.
Maybe they will be exposed as the liars and cheats they are.
Supporters of other clubs need to remove their blinkers re the situation at City and ask - "But what about utd?"

Rags - too big to fail?
Nah!

All this in the media this morning is just making a clean path for Jim's new start and a so-called new United
it's trying to come clean and take away the pressure off the 25% man sir Jim who's investment just about covers the debt, but again that will still be hidden behind a false wall of the value of the club.

United never do anything if it doesn't help them look like they are Mr.clean owners and squeaky clean the accounts
It was not really News was it, We all knew the amount of money being spent over the road without being questioned. This still does not cover why the debt has grown and grown without FFP questioning it

they claim 3 seasons of losses but over-spending and growing debt is Ok because its their money HAHA

Wilcox next. They can’t beat us, so they’re trying to copy us.

What are the odds on Pellegrini being their next manager?

 

[SSL2]

unbelievable - he's only been at southampton a short period of time

Uniteds PR machine is better than the football operation
New sporting director has details on computer of potential players…… wow cutting edge

Apparently Jim now wants a manager with…. Formations and Tactics

Then he is going for the score more goals than you let in approach
Followed by getting more points for a higher league position

Does he have actually have any innovative ideas ??
Or is it just trying to recruit people from other clubs
I would suggest the man hasn’t actually got many ideas at all

 

[dublin-blue]

There are players set to make their debuts in the newxt two year who will have no living memory of united being premier league champions

 

[dubblue]

Maybe a strong United is good for us,give Pep more of a reason to stay. We know he loves a challenge. Seeing off United’s tribute act to us would be amazing.

What's gravy and heroin got to do with it

Next Oasis single I believe

That cycling team looks fucked for another season, yesterdays news.
Hope it carries on at the rags.

Mike Keegan, who must be the new must go to United journalist at the Daily United.

The group is leaning towards a rebuild on land at the side of United's iconic home, with the hope that the project will be done in five years or sooner.

A five-star hotel along with United-themed attractions are being considered as part of a huge redevelopment. A 90,000 'new Old Trafford' could also feature a 'new Stretford End'.




According to Keegan, Jim is going to buy a large portion of the freight rail terminal, just like that, regardless of it being a working fright rail terminal, and build a new stadium next to it, including the rail tracks. Just like that. The proposal should sail through planning without any problems or issues.

Picture enlarged so you can see what would be on the new stadium footprint inside the current freight terminal.
