United Thread - 2023/24

[Gray]

Heard from a reliable source that Hojlund missed the game today because he was still in shock after scoring a goal.

Probably strained something with his over exuberant celebrations against Villa - lift off my arse.

Or he’s still on the piss

He’s not jumping ship; he’s just playing to his audience.

Can anybody explain to me how these idiots make money out of these videos? I can watch them on here without parting with any money whatsoever.

Starting to see FB posts campaigning to bring greenwood back into the fold
Desperate cnuts

• Manchester United have never had fewer points, nor scored fewer goals, at this point of a Premier League season.
• Only in 1930 (28), 1972 (25) and 1921 (24) have they lost more games in a calendar year than the 21 defeats they suffered in 2023.
• They have lost nine out of their opening 20 league games for the first time since 1989-90. United only lost nine times in the league in Ten Hag's first season in charge.
• This season they have lost more games (14) than they have won (12) in all competitions.
• United have lost five out of eight games in December, scoring six times and conceding 12.
• Their best run of the season is three successive victories. They have won two games in a row just twice.

Certainly the worst team since relegation in 1974. Their players are technically poor. They are flattered by their current league position. They have been lucky to win any of their matches. Happy days.

With youtube it's all about the clicks and views being converted into ad revenue, in fact the same principle now applies to all MSM and Social Media platforms, hence why they're all desperate to blow smoke up united's arse, keep the club relevant and toady up to the fans.

Even watching via a link on here I assume it still gets recorded as a view so you are contributing to his income.

@mac .Laugh all you like but ask yourself who will the US shareholders support? The family sitting atop a pile of loss making shopping malls or a guy who‘s business acumen has made him the richest man in Britain?
Do you really think he’s not planned for this already and has worked on the US shareholders? He is not that stupid. Ineos record in football is not great, but that is a different matter altogether. On the business front he will run rings round the Glazres who are pretty stupid.
He represents a threat to us by picking up the rags. Take care.

The share holders don’t have the votes though. The Glazers shares have ten votes for every pleb share with one.

 

[jacko74]

You missed the point. The profit was made by old man Glazer’s investment, not his sons.

Assuming you're not wumming you've got a very antiquated view of what constitutes a "successful" businessman in the modern world.

These days just about all businesses, large and small, are reliant on debt, what makes a good businessman is one who can take on as much debt as possible (obviously in the name of the business) and convert as much of that business liability/debt in to cash in his own personal bank account.

Even if he ultimately runs the business into the ground and its declared insolvent owing huge amounts to creditors, in today's warped version of capitalism he's still regarded as a "good businessman" due to the amount of personal enrichment he's achieved and he's almost entirely free to do the whole process all over again with a bit of clever loop hole jumping.

It’s complex, but: The A shares are the ones on the NYSE, the B shares are the originals.
The. A shares do have voting rights but not one for one.

OK they do, but at a ratio of 10:1, meaning the 25% A shares have 2.5% of the voting rights, which is effectively none as they cannot influence any decision under any current circumstances
