United Thread - 2023/24

[jrb]

According to the Daily United, United have signed a shirt deal with Adidas worth £900mill over 10 years.

I don't think that's an inflated shirt deal.

I don't think UEFA or the Pl need to look into it.

It seems no matter how badly run and how unsuccessful these are on the pitch there's always commercial sponsors willing to spaff silly amounts away on being associated with them.

Results on the pitch are relatively immaterial. As long as they are always 7th or above, sponsors will pay huge amounts. Its about clicks and Sky/bbc coverage.
Glastonbury, some headline act wore the new rag shirt, I am convinced the rags paid him to do so. The so called takeover, every day for 7 months a rag player wearing an adidas shirt has been on every website. If it doesnt happen, cue 3 months of protests and even more media coverage. If it happens I suggest you wear something waterproof as jazz will be everywhere.
The only thing the rags are good at is self promotion.

And bent officiating by the ref and var. Nothing will tell me the cup final was anything but bent yet we were still too good for them.
Casemiro avoiding a red yet again in a final, their penalty, our stonewall 2 denied

I was at the game and everybody in the ground was like WTF???? when it said checking for a possible penalty, including the rag fuckers. I actually thought they might have been checking for a penalty for US until I heard them cheering. The officials tried everything to help them win, thankfully it didn't help, but it gave them a foothold back into a game they never had until that penalty.

You'd just maybe think they'd have a a few reservations about spaffing such huge sums given how Chevrolet and TeamViewer clearly regretted the deals they done with the rags.

Theyve announced that there will be an announcement about Greenwood shortly - ie they’re going to throw any visage of morality out the window and bring him back because they desperately need him.

Do you think we’d have heard the last of it, had they scuppered our treble…

It's three years for me, watch out though because you have to fill in and return the 'no licence needed' form every two years to stay on the right side of the law.
Apparently it's the only law where you have to keep telling them that you're not intending to break.

Utter nonsense!
Put the form in the bin. You are under no obligation to respond to them.

So their 'Minor' ffs breach is now non existent, sky sports news buried it after a day and now the rags are top story with their new Adidas deal.
You have to laugh at the huge difference in reporting on us.and the red mardarses.

And 5 minutes after their joke penalty, we cross the ball, hits Wan Bisaka on the arm, not even reviewed and the foul on Kev in the area was another joke decision.
But yet again the club did nothing, nothing was brought up about the decisions after the game so yet again swept under the carpet

They'd be singing about it forever.
