Manchester United


This is a club and stadium, that invited some security firm in to test the logistics of a terror/bomb threat, who then left the pretend gear somewhere in the bowels of the building, and eventually someone found it and alerted the cops. They had to get the bomb squad in to check it out and there was a major operation to make sure people and building were safe.

I hope they were charged for this colossal oversight. Bloody half time orange cutters fault!

A club so bloated and over-invested in transfer fees and wages of players that the infrastructure of the club is crumbling at an alarming pace.

It's taken us many years to see the light at the end of the tunnel after our foray into this situation - I honestly don't see a way out for United without an even more calamitous implosion than our skirting with relegation.

Billion in debt? Stadium falling down? Overpaid unmoveable bloated squad? Loss of casual supporters? Yeah - this ain't going to go well if it continues as it has been going. Why not stick another 60+ million on a hot headed player who has gotten into disciplinary problems, what could go wrong?

Spot on. How they continue to get away with it beggars belief...

Or Cantona? It's a high risk strategy but I don't think Cunha is at the same level of the Suarezes or Cantonas of this world - but you never know, if they are lurking around the trap door of the league for long enough then they run the risk of going down. I can't believe how we got away with it for those couple of seasons - all down to the will of the fans, and I think United fans would probably get them over the line if it was down to the wire, but eventually even the fans get fatigued - would we have been able to carry them over the line this year if it had been like the previous season or 3?
 
The Rashford case is amusing as well, boasting a 45M fee that no one would be daft to consider paying when club has precious little leverage

My prediction is a loan without an obligatory buyout clause, he’ll join Nico at Barça

cantona was just a belligerent moody pr!ck, suarez was much nastier. calculated snide. cunha appeared to pick a fight every weekend for a month, so either he's got a screw loose or he cares that much. he's going to be in a man utd shirt next season, and that'll buy him a lot of grace with the referees that pander to the financial fillet steak of the league. they're a side operating vastly under the sum of their parts. winning things was once the goal, now it's mission accomplished there to get a contract and take the money. The hunger is gone. destination old trafford, I'm the big 'I am', biggest and therefore best side on the planet. I have arrived. Bet ferguson couldn't believe his luck with his £2m ambassador role culled, got him off the hook for free. As for the fans, minumum £72 a ticket across the stadium, for a side with no heart and no bottle, waiting on fernandes to turn up with a nonsense penalty. Jog on. We'd have boo'd the roof down by now.

every empire has it's day, and as it crumbles there is the shout to go back to the good old days. they've been spoiled during the murdoch protection era, he wasn't letting his golden goose suffer. but now the time is over, and the fall is near complete, it's a long way back to the top and they've not the cash to compete.

good riddance to bad garbage.
