That would not be allowed to happen.
That Var incident shows it will never be allowed.
Had they lost right at the death, morale would be shot. Then, with everybody down they play Ipswich. We will never know if a dispirited rags would have lost that.

Ipswich is now a totally different match.
That isn't thanks to a Scruffy bloke, Amorim or the players.

Nonsense.

It happens to certain clubs a hell of a lot ...........you may get the odd decision go your way but certain clubs end up with a lot more.

I mean you go back through time and look how many dodgy decision go there way ............remember Roy Carrol pullng the ball out a yard or so over the line and the linesman was blind to it

Something that I find quite disingenuous is the idea that decisions such as the one that benefited the rags yesterday are considered as "typical of the biased officiating that favours the Big 6 clubs".

I cannot think of a single decision such as this where we have been the beneficiary. Quite the contrary.

The 2 clubs that benefit consistently are the the rags and liverpool.

And yet there seems to be a collective reluctance to call this out specifically - ie consistently favourable decisions based purely on the perceived commercial value of these clubs to the premier league.

The rest seem to have their snouts buried so deep in the trough that it prevents them from speaking out about it.

They didn’t walk the tightrope, they fell off and then the PL craned them back up with £40m covid ‘loss’ allowance, which was way more than all other PL clubs covid ‘losses’ put together. And then an extra balancing support with the £35m buyout allowance.

They are a club that lives on handouts, always (the word is accurate) have, and with overall debt (loans, money owed etc) approaching the £1b they always will, till some professional and sincere body actually puts in place financial regulation that gets rid of parasitic monetary practices and supports investment and real fair play.

Going back to the Falcao/Ibrahimovic style past it forwards again?

It's like a moth banging it's head on a red hot light bulb, then going and doing it again.

Their solution to every issue seems to be stockpiling left sided forwards. Then loaning them out while supplementing their ridiculously high wages, or trying to get rid of them for 4 years and losing them on a free.

Garnashers
Rashford
Sancho
Martial
Sanchez

If you could guarantee that they definitely would be relegated in three years then yes, that could see the end of any pretensions that they are a big club and they may never come back

But we all know something will change between now and then that will allow them to spend beyond their means and buy themselves out of trouble

Not while the Sheikh is still in charge.

As long as his legal KCs are on the payroll every aspect of the premier league's bylaws and amended rules will be scrutined.

The rags have been boxed into a very tight corner by the very tool they helped design to stop MCFC.
 
I really don't know what Berrada was thinking going there.

Moving up to CEO is a big enough step at the best of times, but going from COO if one of the best run clubs with a stable structure to CEO one of the worst run in as bad a state as you can imagine makes the job almost impossible for him.

Let's be honest, being COO or CEO of City must be two of the easiest jobs in football. The structure is perfect, they have the best people on the football side, sponsors falling over themselves to be associated with Mansour and Khaldoon and you have some of the smartest business people on the planet handling strategy for off-the-field issues. The biggest problem they have is how to spend Mansour's money on the CFG project. Yes, I know I am being a little facetious.

Soriano is how old now, late fifties? In two or three years he will be retiring and Berrada would most likely be in prime position to take over. Or maybe he knew he wouldn't, I suppose. But then again, I doubt he will be CEO of United in another two or three years either.

If you think about it, it's piss funny that these so called big clubs get to pull the strings.
United not won the league for 12 years.
Arsenal not won the league for 21 years.
Liverpool won the same amount as Leicester and Blackburn.
Spurs are just spurs.
How can these cunts dictate anything?
