Yup.

Ego and vanity, probably thought it would be a bit of fun.

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.'

I had a job interview years ago at a place in Eccles... before Mansour bought us, that's how long ago we're talkling!
Anyway, the owner of the company was a massive red... his office was like a Rag museum, signed framed shirts - the works! Naturally we talked football and he told me the tale of the Rags buying Bellion and all the brown envelopes that were flying around... basically - look at all the dodgy transfers during Ferguson's era and then take a look at the agents involved!

Manchester United planning post Premier League season matches in Asia

Manchester United are set to play two post-season games in Malaysia and Hong Kong immediately after the Premier League finishes in May.

Comedy gold “post season” assumes they have started the current one.
That’s where their core fan base reside.

How ironic. Utds team is like pick 'n' mix!!

The journalistic genius that is Simon Stone. Always there with the big scoops.

Their season finished weeks ago. Can they go now?

I think the rags own almost everything around the swamp already so that's wishful thinking sadly

Perhaps a 'Ransom Strip' could be acquired by affluent City fans forming a blocking syndicate.

If so count me in !!

 

[foggy1974]

What I don't understand with all the mess the rags are in, why did scruffy want to buy shares ?

It wouldn't suprise me if he was trying to force the banks to forclose on the Glazers debt similar to how fsg got lfc on the cheap

The Rags have broken Tent Peg to the point he's considering jacking in football to become a full time estate agent.

In a podcast with SEG Stories, he admitted that there are 'so many things I could do' with his new-found freedom from the pressures of management.

"There are so many other things I could do. Maybe in football, in a new position as a manager. That’s an option. And maybe something completely different.

"I’ve been working with my brothers lately. We have our own company. Or rather: they have their own company.

"But we also run a company together with our father. That’s also something I love to do I can now give that more attention and it’s also a lot of fun" he said.

Ten Hag's family are one of the richest in the Netherlands, owning a successful real estate company.

Ten Hag's father Hennie established the company in 1967 and have since gone on to own several financial businesses too.

Ten Hag's brothers Michel and Rico have always been heavily involved in the business whilst he pursued football.

Erik ten Hag hints at new career away from football after Man United sack

Former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag could be readying himself for a new career, but not in management. After the Dutchman was sacked earlier in the season and replaced by Ruben Amorim, he ha…

No way will they go bust. Like it or loathe it they are just too much of a commercial Juggernaut.

No matter how shit they are they still turn over a fortune.

It will end with some sort of cut price deal with a potential buyer.

Jim and the Glazers would inherit big losses, but they will have more than covered them through milking the club over and over for the last 15 years or whatever.

Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity?

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

That's the wonder of Woolworths.



Cheap tat like the rags.

But the pick 'n' mix .......

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

Been thinking this for a while now.

Do you think he's on a "massive" bonus to ruin the fuckers as quick as he can?

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

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.

There was a really good documentary about the terrible way the club treated the families

 

[heslops barnet]

John Giles tells it how it is and how the relatives of the dead were lets put it right completely shit on ..............it was an terrible tragedy but in its hour of need when familes of Duncan Edwards and all needed the club it turned its back on them .............and how many years did it really take for the club to acknowledge it while squandering millions ????

Until they realised they could exploit the tragedy…….

The rags thread is always the first one I catch up on, especially if I’m feeling down and need a good laugh.

i'm trying your way round
and starting off in here today.

Me too …. I’ll have a nosey on redcafe where they are at least honest on there about the true state they are in.

i remember when the enormous woolies in town was closing down.
week by week the sale prices were reduced and reduced.
got some right bargains in the final days.

i can see a similar thing happening with rag players this summer.
they're going to have sell them at really low prices to shift them.

 

[BLUEinTheUSA]

Odd, isn't it? I like to think I'm a nice enough chap: friendly, easy-going. Get along with everyone (well, now that I've retired from being a serial killer, of course). But despite my somewhat placid nature, I cannot find a single iota of sympathy for the rags.

I wonder why that Is.

Completely desensitized from all the serial killing, I would imagine?

I'd rather the pick'n'mix before any of their shite.
