What an absolute state these are in now days.
Manchester United
- Thread starter Bedfordblue
- Start date
The stench of decay around that club is unreal.
Of course, the solution to their financial predicament will be to buy more overpriced players on eye-watering wages.
They will then also flounder and fail to improve the team - but it’s okay, because there are still plenty of staff to sack and another transfer window is always just around the corner.
An austerity tory destroying another institution.

Its funny hearing stories like this about them having to ask our U13 team to lend them some kit. We were run so badly for a couple of decades but I don`t think we sunk so low as to have to try and borrow kit from the opposition. The Ferguson era at United was kept going at some point by their ability to bring their own players into the first team through their youth set up. Sir Jim`s actions seem to be turning their youth system into a bit of a farce, and could see other teams have an opportunity to nail down promising young players by just being able to provide them with first class training facilities and kit. Keep up the good wok Sir Jim I say.
what sense to make players wash there kit but give casimero 300k a week

I bet he has a boss washing machine if he's on 300k a week mind.
Plus he can claim tax back for having to wash his own uniform too. Ker-ching!

Oh it'd be wonderful if they took to the field in filthy kits. Any chance Chianti can get some ructions brewing? @chicoazul

They used to be called the rags,there going all retro and creating a 1930's feel about the place, long may it continue.
We did have to borrow some kit off Luton once (shorts and socks i think it was) as we didn't bring the correct away kit.
We won 1-0 as well.
Edit - it was the shirt we had to borrow and here is the goal
I wasn’t around for United’s original “dark days” in the 1970’s/80’s so seeing them in this state is still kind of shocking for me
Don’t they bring in considerably more money than the other PL teams?
Yeah, my heart bleeds for them.

Hope there’s nothing in this….
That said if it’s a KSA individual will be interesting to see the chicanery to try to prove the money isn’t PIF.

Detestable club…
Except for next weekend when they play the RS, in which case: Glory, Glory Man United!
But only for those 90 minutes.
Imagine this United team beats them at Analfield?!?
The fume would be absolutely delicious!
Strange how those taking 'tough decisions' are never affected by them! Time that gross domestic product waa owned by the people who create it...all of us.
