I have to ask again, aren't there rules in place to stop financial mismanagement and clubs going broke? FFP or PSR or something like that. Or do those rules only affect clubs with certain owners?

The outrage from the Premier League is deafening.

I've been told all my life that United "are too big to fail", yet here we are.
The most satisfying thing about all this, is nearly everything they have thrown at us over the years, has come back to bite them on the arse.
Revenge is a dish served cold. And it's fucking freezing at Old Scaffold!

Agree with all the cuts etc I'm surprised the pl and the press/media aren't investigating how this has happened. Why have the financial rules not stopped this ?

Read Harry Gregg's book, tells it all but hushed up by the heartless, vile rags.

Is that " The Lost Babes" book....I read that and it was terrible how they treated the players who couldn't play again and the families..
No way would I support City if we had done that to our players and families..
It's strange how the MSM doesn't highlight stuff like that..yes I know it's 67 years ago but that shit stain of a club never changes.

It should be compulsory reading everywhere. Part of the school syllabus. Let the world know just what an awful club they really are. Or maybe when that Glaswegian gargoyle is being systematically sodomized by all the demons in Hell, and the truth about his underhand dealings with footballing officials is finally made public?
The crimson-faced **** bent over a barrel and Aleister Cowley slowly inserting an 8 foot long red-hot poker up his vile arse, searing heat burning through his digestive system.

I'd give the **** 'shit hot.'

Downloaded The lost babes for free from Amazon onto my kindle app.

Manchester United plc can be remarkably sensitive about the subject of the Munich air disaster and, in particular, certain events—or maybe we should say lack of events—in the years following the club’s blackest day of 6 February 1958. When I first approached the company to ask for access to records and statistics from the Busby Babes’ era the first words of the assistant secretary Ken Ramsden in his office at Old Trafford were: ‘We will simply not cooperate with anything that will damage the good name of the club.’ This before I had even described the content of the proposed book. Mr Ramsden also asked me if I was ‘a fan who is trying to be a writer or a writer who is a fan’. When I told him the latter was the case, I had the overwhelming impression that he, and the Manchester United plc, would have preferred to be dealing with the former, of whom there have been many. I was also informed that I would have to secure permission from the plc’s chief executive to talk to employees, past and present, including Mr Ramsden’s mother and aunt, who ran the laundry at Old Trafford in the Fifties. But all my e-mails and telephone calls to the then CEO, Peter Kenyon, went unanswered. Someone closely connected with the club also took it upon himself to telephone some potential interviewees in advance to warn them of me, and the subject matter I intended to broach with them. Happily, these pleas fell on deaf, and defiant, ears. It is safe to say, however, that this book was written in spite of Manchester United plc and is unlikely to be found on sale in the Old Trafford Megastore.
