A Blast from the Past!!
" McKenzie!!"
Hutchinson looks sublime,some nice touches from Dave Bennett sporting a belting afro.. raw Power and pace of an 80s Derby from Maine Road.
Helen ringing her bell in the North Stand
Bobby Mac should have scored early on
Dennis tueart is sub warming up
Gerry Gow looks menacing.....but from the footage shown..it's all about the class of one Tommy Hutch.one of my fav players of all time. Loved this team .

I thought it was Peggy Gallagher for a second when it panned in on John Bond in the 1st half

Worrying that if other teams notice that utd are profiting from being ditched out of the FA cup, then more may try it.
Two games in Saudi would lead to more revenue than Macclesfield away and Stoke City Grimsby away fixtures for example in the next two rounds of the FA cup.

It's not just those two. This is from an article today about how Ratcliffe wanted to emulate City -

​
The influx of former City employees at Old Trafford has gone further than that. In need of a new performance director in September 2024, United turned to Sam Erith, who had spent 11 years in similar roles at City; in need of a new academy director following Nick Cox’s departure to Everton, they hired Steve Torpey, who, before having the same role at Brentford, had spent roughly a decade as an academy coach at City; in need of another coach for their under-21 team, they hired Wilcox’s former Blackburn team-mate Alan Wright, who had spent a decade coaching at City’s academy; their new chief communications officer had previously spent eight years in marketing, communications and corporate affairs at City Football Group (CFG), the multi-club group that owns City (Toby Craig)​

That's at least 6 fairly senior roles at United occupied by former City staff.

CEO, Technical Director, Performance Director, Academy Director, u21 Coach & Chief Communications Officer.

Shame we didn't take the same view over our bald fraud having no PL experience. We might have won something in the last 10 years if we'd appointed someone like Big Sam.

To be serious, they appointed a very experienced PL manager in 2013 when Baconface walked out and look where that got them. And Mourinho as well.

We’re going to run out of room for statues at this rate.
