Don't get me wrong, the optics look horrendous for the rags. Mass redundancies, growing debts and absolutely no regard for profit and sustainability rules. Yet, if you listen to media you would be forgiven for thinking the Trafford Tramps are the best run club in the World.

Haven’t they got to pay a big chunk of that very soon .
I just don’t understand where the money is coming from.
Prestwich blue is very good unraveling all this !

I always thought it was more than a coincidence that very talented football players turned to dog shit when they signed for the rags. This is what happens when you join a club that is so preoccupied by it's name it forgets what it's sole purpose is.

I met a fella on holidays who told me " United, we are not a normal club, we are a brand"

All clubs do this. I'd be willing to heavily bet ourselves included. It's generally only release clauses being activated where the whole fee is paid upfront. That's why you sometimes get clubs negotiating when activating release clauses because they want to pay in installments and you even get clubs paying over the release clause for a better payment schedule.

Stone is going full on keep the rags relevant since he got back from the far East trip. The amount of articles they get on the BBC is ridiculous. Bet they get more than all the other clubs put together.

Man Utds transfer strategy is the same as it's been for a decade, to sign good players and make them rubbish and unsellable in a short space of time!

Are the BBC planning on stopping being a publicly funded Man U fanzine any time soon ?

Why is this debt ridden club that finished 15th and is having to sack people to save money constantly being linked with signing £60m+ players?

complete silence in the media how they are posting huge losses every year, bailed out by the PL on failing FFP, and hundreds of redundancies yet spending huge again. Imagine if we made so many redundant and did what they did, be articles about how many jobs could have been saved instead of signing X Y Z etc
 
Week commencing 23 June. 2 months and 1 week of the window left, 7 days before PSR deadline. Not a single bite on any of the cast offs, prices drop, loan offers with the Rags picking up 80% plus of the wages, still no interest come Sunday 29th, Fishfingers talking to Sunderland as he was never committed to Barcelona, BBC website running piece after piece about how Cashemrio can still do it at the top level, Shaw lights up the BBQ as Scruffy Jim empties out the mousetraps and turns out the lights for marginal gains.........

Please make it happen. It's not too much to ask.

Mark Ogden was on Sly Sports midweek programme "Back Pages Tonight" where he alluded to this. He said "I get a lot of stick from people who ask me why I only write about Un#%$d and seldom write about other clubs?"

His rationale for writing about all things rags is that the club is a bit of circus right now and because they're not where they are expected to be it makes for fascinating reporting.

Am I missing something here? Not where they're meant to be?

Where does he think they should be? As far as I'm concerned the rags should thank their lucky stars they're not playing in the championship next season.

And as for the rags being a circus this isn't new and definitely not worth writing an article about.

There's a very insidious ecosystem that has developed over the past two decades between the rags and the media which is having a huge detrimental impact on both parties.

I’m glad we’re doing our business under the radar rather than have a shite ‘sports’ reporter publishing rumours like they do for those cunts
