United Thread - 2023/24

They sacked the visionary wee Davey for upsetting the fans for daring to suggest they should aspire to be like us.

Now, some 10 years later, those same fans are getting excited because they’re looking to appoint some of our inconsequential staff/ex staff.

After Jason Wilcox now too... Begging to be like City in any way they can.

Yes, it's bullshit. But Rag Hacks like Keegan will make any nonsense up to get clicks.(it worked with me) It's safe to say Keegan has no real information on what's being proposed by Scruffy Jim bar rewriting the same guff again, but tweaking it to fill the column inches.

It's funny reading the comments under the article. United fans want a bigger stadium because they think they can fill it. Not 90,00, not 100,000, but a 120,000 stadium. Considering Spurs stadium is a 62,000 stadium and it cost over £1bill, can you imagine how much a 120,000 stadium would cost. United fans are absolutely deluded.

Perhaps they could use Oulton park
to build the new stadium on?
There are a few corners for them to turn there too, which would be a bonus!

Rags developing Old Toilet. Not building a new stadium.

it's unbelievable that they think they can become US by taking coaches and staff hahaha

it's like owning a Ford Fiesta and using your mates top of the range sports car parts and tyres to make your Ford go faster

Not a great analogy to be fair Ancoats.

Nothing particularly wrong with a Ford Fiesta!!

A better analogy would be it’s like owning a clapped out rusty car, that you paid over the odds for thinking it was a Ferrari and thinking your neighbour was interested in buying, and then when realisation sets in, stealing the hub caps from your neighbours old banger, because you haven’t got the wherewithal to take anything he’d really miss off his nice car.

Scruffy Jim has bought voting shares that mean nothing when he can be outvoted by the lovely Glazers, also if it all goes tits up (And it will) he gets the blame and gets pelters.

It's going to be an interesting few years watching them fail and fail again.

Very smart move employing consultants to look into the redevelopment of the Stadium, they can go all dipper now and write of £40 million to help comply with FFP

They appear to be hell bent on following our business model.
We're really in the shit if they take TOJ too!

It doesn't take a genius to come to the conclusion that the ground you own is literally falling down and a new one needs to be built.

It also doesn't mean if you steal everyone else's employees you will automatically get the success they had with another employer.

Jimmy's 5 year plan is going to turn into a 15 or so year nightmare :)
