Someone's having a real laugh - butthead?

Nice one our kid. Salad dodger is epic.

Found this on redblob. Just shows the size of the task Mr Intelligent faces.

 

I think it bears repeating that prior to 2012, our net spend for the preceding 7 seasons was :

 

2005 : £1 million.

2006 : £4.1 million.

2007 : £26.5 million.

2008 : £ 33.75 million.

2009 : -£64.5 million

2010 : £13.5 million.

2011 : £38 million.

 

Adds upto : £52.4 million.

 

No-one expects Madrid/ Chelsea/ PSG/ City level but £52.4 million over 7 seasons ? Wanna guess what Sunderland's net spend for that duration was ? £86 million. Aston Villa ? £108 million. That's how far United were from the upper echelons of spending. Forget the European elite we were outspent by mid-table Premier League clubs.

 

That is rather shocking when you see it laid out like that. Fuck . They really are being bled dry. On the basis of these figures I wouldn't expect Van Giblet to be blowing 100M any time soon.

Where's the DHL, Chevrolet, Casillero Diablo, Audi and Aon Money McCrirrick?????

[Iceman]

It's starting lads. Check it out from redblob, 

 

If the story about Anderson, Nani and Zaha being banished from the team are true, Louis Van Gaal is an unprofessional prick who blows a lot of hot air and only cares about his own ego. I don't like him and I don't think he will do half as well as people think, and further to that I think he will actually do far more long-term damage to the club by making it fit his ideals than Moyes ever could. In three to four seasons time, when Van Gaal leaves, I think we will be in a bigger mess than we are now.

 

 

Dude has over 20k posts as well so not trolling. Nice. 

[Hand Shandy]

Van Gaal won't be there in three or four seasons time.

[fowler9]

Van Gaal won't be there in three or four months time.

[The Golden Eel]

Get the impression Van Gaal will fuck off with his reputation intact if he thinks it would be better for his reputation

[Hand Shandy]

Great isn't it.

This is wonderful stuff.

Ain't it just.

 

Shit = Glazers out

 

Start winning things again = not a peep from them

 

Shit again = Glazers out

 

Not an ounce of blame on Fergie for picking Moyes or failing to address some failings in the squad, or for signing overpriced rubbish.

[Harry Squatter]

After seeing those finance figures, no fucking way are they selling up anytime soon. The Mirror did a propaganda piece a few weeks ago reckoning they earn 135m every year through various sponsors, merchandising and kit deals. That's before you account for TV money and gate receipts.

[Iceman]

I predict van Nugget will not last more than one season. He will not get top 4, he will not win a cup, and he will finish mid table at best, with even relegation danger a possibility. He will be sacked when it's mathematically impossible for them to get top 4 and could even spaz and leave before the end of the season. I know all this from one game.

[PestiRed]

They're not firing another manager within a season, that makes them look shit. Van Gaal will get two at least and let's hope he fucks them up during that time

[Barzini]

Any team relying on Fletcher as their engine will suffer.

 

Unless it's one of those new bio-fuel engines that runs on shite

[Stickman]

Is that the Twiglight Zone music I hear??

History happens twice, first time as...well, both times as comedy really.

[Xherdan]

Those two pictures are fucking priceless.

 

The most beautiful thing about this whole scenario is that the majority of United fans cannot see the problems they face. The squad they currently have is really bad, and while there is still time to negate this particular claim, fans have been fed a line of Schweinsteiger, Vidal, Hummels, Di Maria and Kroos for two years now and, in the main, they are still gobbling it up. 

 

The pursuit of short term, immediate solutions is something that doesnt exist. This will be a long term rebuilding process which the fans will not be able to deal with.

 

It is fucking joyous.

[El Rojo]

I bet they gave van Gaal the exact same blazer, complete with a couple of ginger pubes on the shoulders.

[Baltar]

Van Gaal is a great manager, no question about it. Moyes is a joke and I think we all knew he'd be a disaster. But Van Gaal has real pedigree as a manager so it won't be a surprise if he turns the mancs around. If he's given time and money they'll eventually be challenging for the title again, but not this season.

[Dr Nowt]

Van Gaal is however an angry, possibly mentally unstable man with what Don Logan would only describe as "a whopping great ego, my friend", and another individual cut from not dissimilar cloth has territory he will jealously guard there, with much needed change to come and an inevitable focus on areas he neglected or mismanaged towards the end.

A whole different set of potential problems than those posed by the deferential Terry McFuckwit, but potential problems all the same.

[Xherdan]

There is no way LVG will hang around for the rebuilding process required. He is already in his 60s and this rebuilding, assuming the glazers provide the financing, could take 6 windows. 

[Russ Atmosphere]

In fairness most people pronounce them as 'the glaziers'

[The Guest]

How many league games do you think they would have to lose on the bounce before they would be flying banners over the ground.  I reckon 5 would do it.

[Mook]

They've got a tricky run coming up so they'll need to get saving up for the banners.

[Harry Squatter]

I hope they panic in the last week or so of the transfer window and ridiculously overpay for average players.
