United Thread - 2023/24

[Cumbie Blue]

Last thought from me for the day, what's the rules on nation states directly funding EPL clubs expenditure and ambition again? Seem to recall this being frowned upon by the majority in the league and media as creating an unfair playing field despite its well meaning intentions and projected social benefits to the area but oddly no reference to this in the interview and subsequent articles. Must not have the right colour specs on.

Can we call him Stig of the dump?

How about Stig of the cunts?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Can we call him Stig of the swamp?

Slight amendment.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them allowed to use Wembley as their home ground for a couple of seasons. It would have a good effect on the fans carbon footprint aswell.

 

[city2]

Finally I agree with simple Simon on talksport about the rags

There's that famous utd DNA.

Money over morals.

OK it's getting confusing now, is it scruffy Jim that's making the decisions or is it Ineos?

 

[tommybooth]

I thought piss stain was in charge. I'm sure he is in a broom cupboard somewhere!

 

[stonerblue]

He's looking towards getting a government/council to stump up towards the ground on the basis it will be the Wembley of the North and regenerate South Manchester.

It's not even in fucking South Manchester. Bet the fucker gers away with it. He's even claiming they could have England games and FA cup finals there.

Yep. Nowhere near south Manchester.

 

[stonerblue]

No way should we let those cunts ground share with us after that fucking banner.

Mods, make this one a sticky

 

[stonerblue]

We could stick up our own banners for their home games.

5 trophies
Centurions
back to back titles
1-6.
Welcome to Manchester banner

Just to remind them how we have trampled their precious history.

The list is not exhaustive so feel free to add.

Wembley

 

[argyle]

We need a petition, the club should know our views on this. Not only the banner but the drunken bully’s piss taking over the years. SCUM

We don't need to petition anything. There are no plans. Probably just someone on twitter and someone has mentioned it here.

 

[stonerblue]

I can't see ground share working at all. 29 home games last season for us lets assume 24 for both clubs, no rest for the pitch, potential for 4 games in 7 days on the surface on a regular basis, that's going to impact on the teams performance. That level of regular use is expected on community fields not an EPL ground, we don't need the revenue so on and off the pitch it makes no sense to us so its a no.

We've world leading ground staff and facilities but this is asking too much to maintain the standard required. For me there's a reason we've not held the Super League Magic weekend since we fulfilled contractual obligations back in 2014 and that's we don't need the cash or damage, better for us the grass recovers under the watchful eye of the grounds team over the breaks in the season and pretty sure this would be Pep's stance as well.

Yeah, but apart from all that they can fuck. Off

They genuinely would wreck our place if we allowed them to stage their home games at the Etihad, it's a non starter IMHO.

 

[manclad]

Yep. Nowhere near south Manchester.

The last time an FA Cup Final was played in South Manchester was in 1893 at the Fallowfield Stadium ( which is now part of the Fallowfield Campus).
It's not like United to constantly harp on about things that happened years ago.

It's never gonna happen pal. The vile bastards have stabbed us in the back on numerous occasions and belittled us at every opportunity over the last 30 odd years. No way will the great man even consider it. Fuck them and everything they stand for.

So other clubs pay for there stadium, don't say we didn't as we gave Maine Rd as part of the deal. We also paid for the conversion. These cunts want a stadium for free, then they have money to splash out on an arse load of players. Every fucking club should be stopping this.

 

[No One Understands]

Bit funny if they get £20m for a sporting director, mad world.

They should as they are trying to overcome the profitability rules written by the red tops to keep everyone down

 

[halfcenturyup]

Scum

Hasn't Ratcliffe confirmed that this is a personal investment and nothing to do with Ineos after Ineos shareholders got nervous? Suspect the "financial expert" has got that wrong.

 

[dadnlad]

Well if you are looking at Government funding on things like Hs2 Scruffy Jim would be prudent to get planning permission in Birmingham. Better for the environment and carbon footprint with less of their scummy supporters travelling to Manchester.

better option is with other cheek of same arse building super athletic stadium in Croft Warrington next to M6 transport links then two dumps removed in one move
