Manchester United plc report losses of £130m in their last financial accounts breaching in one season a three year cumulative cap of £105m on losses but no matter, they can submit another set of accounts to the Premier League that show only £36m losses and a club that is barely solvent and making redundancies so as not to run out of cash, can at the same time launch a series of £60m bid for players.

It’s weird how they’re never investigated for any of these irregularities. Imagine if we were laying off staff then signed someone for £60m, media would be all over it.

It’s like rags just say some bullshit and neither the media nor the PL say anything. We should try it, sign Livramento for £90m and tell the press it’s ok because Sheikh Mansour is worth £22billion so we can’t go into debt. Exactly what the rags would do.

I've seen interviews with Prick Parry over " Project Big Picture" proclaiming entitlement for historical achievements of

the red mardarses.Also, Scruffy Jim suggesting the game is run by United all captured on film,not to my surprise but to the audacity and arrogance.
What really pisses me off is that the regulators and 90 other clubs just carry on regardless .
 
The media in this country (in particular the tabloids) cannot seem to go one day without mentioning the rags. And it is always positive gossip: who they are bidding for, what the side would look like if they got the players they need etc, their debt is never mentioned, nor the money wasted on extravagant signings, nor the pile of bricks and rubble, rusted metal and rotting woodwork that the swamp has become.
We know the media are pandering to the market, go where the money and the clicks are, but the rags are not the attraction they were 30/40 years ago, so why are the media still fawning over them and painting everything they do with thick, glossy varnish despite most people knowing they are finished, knowing they are a busted flush?

Agent Omar: 40 million. The rest in add ons.

Brentford: Go on...

AO: 20 million when we win the league.

B: *Laughs* Are you taking the piss?

AO: Ok...another 30 when we win the champions League, 5 on top for winning the FA Cup, and another Million for the league cup.

B: How about 80 million with no add ons and a buy back on a free when you get relegated?

AO: Are you taking the piss?

B: You started it! To quote his holiness the Pope - Fuck off!

Exactly.
If you are confident all these add-ons will occur should you sign him well pay them now.
Forgive our lack of faith in the rest of your team.
 
Such a gamble this, going £60 million plus for a one season wonder who is guaranteed to miss the busy December. / January period. Starts 21 December, no idea when players are to be released by but potentially if Cameroon go deep he misses the below:

  • Aston Villa vs Man Utd - 20 December
  • Man Utd vs Newcastle - 27 December
  • Man Utd vs Wolves - 30 December
  • Leeds vs Man Utd - 3 January
  • Burnley vs Man Utd - 7 January
  • Man Utd vs Man City - 17 January
Almoron already saying he needs more time with the players to work with them, genius this bloke.
 
On holiday in the Algarve at present and there are not many nytid shits to be seen. The younger Irish all seem to be wearing Gaelic football shirts these days too. Oddly the only rags wearing any rag related merchandise are in retro gear.
They really are living in the past.

Oh well.

How sad.

Never mind.

WTFAMu.

CTID.

As you were.

Undoubtedly due the truly unbelievable numbers of braindead fuckwits who still believe that the cunts are still a football club, and not just an over-hyped brand.

The media and their employees being mainly composed of whores who rely on selling themselves for cheap clicks.

Integrity is an ingredient long since missing from the club, " supporters " and the media.

And too many are invested in self-interest to call them out as they truly deserve.
 
The thing with united, the reason I dont mind them getting the constant media spotlight that they get... is that all of their transfers become saga's with the media coverage.

It always feels like they sign players for media coverage rather than the good of the team. They're playing a different game when it comes to player purchases. They think they are RM

It's a bit weird. They are trying to sign someone who could potentially be unavailable when they play 2 of their relegstion rivals.

These rules dont apply to clubs run by Americans, it should be known as the non-cartel rule

It's project keep them on the back pages for the hordes of puppets to still think there important.
Too many people making money off the back of them but it's diminishing.
Will be interesting to see if this Brentford guy ends up there, seems to me it's just another long saga to keep the rags on the back pages.
