Name checking the players is a shite thing to do. Casemiro as well. Regardless of what he's said, the implication is that they've overpaid on transfer fees for them and vastly overpaying on wages also. I'm sure all those who he mentioned won't be happy. I also hate the wank about mentioning the women's team. News for the BBC - they're nowhere near as important as the men's team. Get fucking over it. Not even fucking close.

I like his optimism though - in 3 years they'll win the league, be profitable and will have the best stadium in the world. Crack on lad.

They have a great chance of winning the 26/27 Championship.

I once said good morning to a rag, after they said good morning to me first.

 

[Koniec]

Last time a rag criticised the players openly…..

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

One rule for them and another for some other teams and probably another for a few others

Slightly unusual ‘charm offensive’ from Scruffy yesterday. Giving interviews to anyone who’d listen. The tactic of getting everything out in the open is an odd one indeed.

The comments about ‘running out of money by December’ didn’t ring true at all. I’m pretty sure the United fans wouldn’t have believed it either.

The people on the Monday Night Club on 5Live didn’t believe it either and were laughing that he didn’t mention the debt the Glazers, god bless em, are paying interest on!

At least he ‘understands the fans frustration’!

Did Stone ask the question?

Whatabout Citeh?

Announcing a new stadium on a fucking Gary Neville YouTube channel before you've got the plans or the money to spend on it sums up the club and this fella imo. All fucking talk, big promises, blame on everyone else except himself.

In the cellar was a tunnel scarcely ten yards long, that had taken him a week to dig. I could have dug that much in a day, and I suddenly had my first inkling of the gulf between his dreams and his powers.

the chances of United getting to the top… are a million to one he said…

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Scruffy Jim on local tv last night was suggesting that the Rags would run out of money unless prices were hiked 'n jobs lost. I thought owners could make interest-free loans (never to be repaid!) without falling foul of the now discredited FFP rules. But then Jim wouldn't have as much if he started using his own when the fans can be fleeced.

 

[foggy1974]

How come nobody asked him about kicking Baconface out or would that have been off the agenda?

Because Neville was his cheaper replacement

 

[flb]

It's a way to pass ffp in the short term!

This new stadium 100k to be honest I'd be jealous because wanted our owner to build a new stadium but now we will have a 61k stadium and with the new hotels we have a unique stadium now and love it!

If they start the redevelopment of the area now for there new stadium that will take years then the stadium would take 4/6 years cost billions so who pays that? Yep sponsors fans more loans!

100% agree mate, Jim might be scruffy and have no clue about football, but using every loophole he can to pass PSR is second nature to someone like that.
Not a fucking cat in hells chance they will fail PSR , it wont be allowed to happen.

 

[flb]

Good point,

There will be huge costs associated with all this nonsense and pandering recently.

Dippers Stanley Park

Rags Trafford Park

Its why scruffy said there will be a decision at the end of the season about it, they wont fail PSR.

It sounds like he wants to do the same to the players as he has done to the low paid staff but it's not that simple.

It's hilarious that the jump on the bandwagon former glory hunters had a so-called protest against the Glazers yet scruff Jim thinks he can replicate the crap that pisscan won the league with kids. It's no longer 1992 & they can't poach the best kids from around the country anymore.

So if they ran out of money ,they go bust? Does that mean the shares are worthless?
Surely the club would be sold cheaply to the highest bidder then?
And how can a business on its arse build an expensive new stadium?
Seems to me there’s no clear picture, and nobody knows their exact situation.

 

[foggy1974]

Watching that video, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Franny Lee in the 90’s.

Hopefully Rooney will replicate Alan Ball & Hojland will replicate Quinny by running out of the changing rooms on the last day as they're being relegated

Is that Chelsea fans frustration

There wont be a new stadium , its a feasibility study to get round PSR.
How the fuck are they going to raise funds to build it? Its one thing government money buying the freight terminal ,a completely different one for an organisation to fund a build , that will take 5-6 years to complete. Especially a company that is so much in debt its almost laughable .

 

[Blue Mist]

Hmmmm, large demonstration on Sunday where fans can be heard singing anti Scruffy Jim songs as well as Glazers out chants.
Monday an interview with Scruffy saying how wonderful it will be, new stadium and richest club in a few years.

What a coincidence.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

I'll believe it when it's built this new stadium. So many caveats they'll probably call it Old Tr-asterisk.
