Wasn’t that **** in jaws?

You're thinking of Garnacho. He played Jaws in a James Bond film.

Born in Watford, went to Bury once as a lad so naturally a life-long rag fan. Get it done Worzel Gummidge.

 

[mexico1970]

No idea, to be honest.

And he threatened to knock a lot of people out for being the wrong type of rag fans, they've a great set of fans at the swamp.

Exhibit 1 m'lud :)

Joke that we lost to these arseholes, they’d be 4pts off the bottom 3, and us in 5th.

As they say here in the valleys, C'est la Vie

It's a fair observation that I would probably have been quick to point out.

Hung by my own petard........... :-)

Just to add to this, I've just looked at the financial statements for the first 3 months of the current financial year (as you do on NYE).

They borrowed an additional £200m in the 3 months to September. And that's probably not the worst quarter for cashflow, which is usually the Jan-Mar quarter. They're goosed.

Tick fucking tock and happy new year Blues.

The Saudi's have'nt gone away.

They're prepared to play the long,waiting game.

They'll be back with a profit for jimrat.

That's his profiteering plan !!

 

[Grassland Blue]

Well we've had enough crap hurled our way and so it's time to return some of it.
The rags, a club in disarray could be getting a points deduction if they don't sell a player or two I hear.
Make of that what you will.
Happy New Year blues.

No need to worry about the Rags, the Daily Fail have managed to find the light in the darkness

Expert group predicts Man United will soon return to the top

EXCLUSIVE BY MIKE KEEGAN: The group has carried out a 41-page analysis of the business - seen by Mail Sport - and its findings may raise eyebrows.

Hahaha f'kinhell!
Perfect mood booster for a rainy day.
Most of that is dependent on a massive 'IF' which given the current trajectory and context looks very much like it could shift to the negative end of the consequences spectrum.
And the positive side is, that's back in 4 years if everything goes really well.

Pretty damning really. Nothing more than a bookies advert for why you should place a bet at 250-1.
'Think of the potential returns!'

F'king loooooool!!!

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Maybe they can get the shin kick specialist

The way they're going, that could be looking quite the desirable record come Feb.

He should be good for a pretty big new manager bounce, if nothing else. ;-)))

I asked Copilot who paid for the report…..

The report on Manchester United's future prospects under Ineos ownership was commissioned by **Ineos** itself, specifically by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is the founder and chairman of Ineos.

Wonder how much they spunked on that?

Man United have already signed 'new Ronaldo' as honest admission proves it

Cristiano Ronaldo lit up Old Trafford with fancy footwork after first signing for Manchester United, and that style of play is also one that Joshua Zirkzee values

I'll just leave this here....

Speaking of lighting up cold scaffold, I'm.jist wondering what odds are on an arson 'attack' in the next couple of years...?

Claim off insurance for a rebuild.
Massive publicity, all sorts of help pouring in for a 'national institution', solving the albatross around their neck that is their decrepit stadium.

Like a modern day managed Munich, except without the human loss.

Get back to top 4 in 4 seasons, they where 3rd the season before last.

Hardly any measure for success given the wage bill and amounts spent,

It fails to cover 2 major issues (the report may not, but the article does).

PSR issues, low quality team and how they would pay for a new stadium.

I also don’t see where the extra £200 million a year would come in, the vast majority of tickets will be a similar price, they will be extra hospitality and more year round usage, but in general I would be surprised if it amounted to much over an extra £50 million.

At which point you need to ask how they buy it and what the interest payments will be.

As shares go if your a United fan, fine a grand worth of stock could be a fun investment and maybe something you would like to have.

Serious investors won’t be buying.

Lol they actually think an extra £200m a year. It will be more like £40m after VAT is removed and merchandised added in. It will take them at least 5 decades to pay £2bn off and that's assuming low interest ( never going to happen) and the £2bn cost not increasing which of course it will in fact it's probably already £2.5bn
