Maybe they'll try and get taxpayer to pay for their team rebuild as well as their stadium?

a national treasure should be loved and invested in for everyone

Is that Martyn Margetson?, jesus getting some flashbacks to that incompetent keeper, how has he ended up a England coach?

Really? How the F**K did he get that gig? He lives just down the road from me in South Wales!!!!

I'm not suggesting for one moment that the hype for Mainoo has reached hysterical proportions, but it was a bit much to give him the Man of the Match Award in the Wales-Poland game.

Which 3?

Presumably Maguire, Mainoo and Shaw?

If its Shaw then apparently he's not even going to be ready. If he was, I wouldn't have much problem with him at left back, he's better than Chilwell, and Trippier isn't really a left back. We are pretty weak in that area, Fat Boy Shaw is about as good as we've got. He's always been OK for England.

As for the other two. I wouldn't have Maguire in, he's too much of a liability for knockout football in my opinion but again, Stones is the only good player we have in that position. The rest are all as bad as each other, so it doesn't matter.

Who else? Mainoo? Well he's flavour of the month because he's a young rag that's played about 4 decent games for them.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if knobhead waistcoat gets the job? I’d be laughing my arse off!

Hopefully they give him the job before they realise the only people that want him to have the job are rival fans

The non-football people involved at United are making some noise about how a football club should work

The 1st thing is never to let the board or shareowners get involved with the football side of things because they know fuck all about football for a start, 2nd thing is having a board built of shareowners with a voice or an image and ego.

United and their fans are heading for another crash and breakdown if they think Jim and his 25% stake is the answer, Make no bones about it the Glazer have pulled off a masterstroke and took Jim's £1.5billion and pocked the lot, Jim will have to work with peanuts and a possible FFP breach, Revenue is down and making losses Debt climbing so where is the money coming from for this new club build and new Wembley of the north,

In his autobiography, Len Shackleton wrote a chapter entitled, "What Directors Know About Football," and left a blank page.

The best chairmen/directors keep their mouths shut, or conversely, the worst ones can’t stay silent.

Peter fucking Swales being a prime example.

City had to learn the hard way and from Swales to Franny Lee, it was very much all about the chairman and the board members and power struggles, Swales wanted full control of everything even the football side of things,
When looking back Swales had a phone next to his seat to ring the dug-out ?

It’s a pity it wasn’t an ejector seat!
