Someone’s Having a Real Laugh - How Long Until They ‘Bin Bag’ Ten Hag?


Recommended Posts

Would happily watch them get the game called off next week, we could take an easy three point pick-me-up after the past couple of games.

 

A wins a win and all that.

 

Plus, you wouldn’t have to deal with the goons in the match thread shitting their knickers every time there’s a corner or a misplaced pass.

On one hand I agree but on the other last season was a beautiful sight seeing them all leave at half time, I'd be hoping to see the same again but with more second half punishment.

We wouldn't get 3 points though, they'd find an excuse not to play it and it would just be extra headache for us down the line with the replayed game.

Ah the good old days when could have 6 defeats and still win league, have 8 and challenge....

 

Pre the cheating sportswashing bastards ruining the game and sucking nearly all the enjoyment out of it to the point where ridiculously here we are now 2 games in and a title win is incredibly unlikely because we have dropped 4 pts!

Indeed..although it was 42 games. And a time when someone got injured, you mostly played someone out of position to cover them. We didn't worry about needing more than 8 midfielders, as 16 players all in would do and 4 of them would barely play.

The good old days!

 

Aye it was 42 game season but pts achieved in winning that title there works out at just about 80 pace over 38 games.

 

The league was just simply tighter and more competitive back then.

He's top quality, but hopefully he's looking on this as an easy retirement gig like Varane or Ronaldo did. 

Yeah, it would be a statement signing. Great player. But offering a huge fee and to double the salary of someone who plays for Real Madrid at 31 years old, who has won everything multiple times and with nothing left to prove, is pure desperation and is financially crazy.

Give us a billionaire who'll spend (even!) more money until we win again. A noble cause. 

Got to laugh at this Ratcliffe bollocks.

 

He's supposedly a united diehard fan yet has a seassie ticket for chelsea because he 'likes football and they are the easiest \ nearest club he can get to.'

 

So a billionaire and a multi billionaire at that, cannot find the means, time, travel effort and seassie ticket at old trafford to watch 'his' team?

 

It's akin to us having a seassie at the shite because we cant get into Anfield.

 

I think a far simpler reasoning is, united were top dogs when he took an interest in football, hence declaring himself a fan but couldnt be arsed traipsing all the way 'oop norf' to watch them.

 

Then united's star waned and \ or chelsea started winning titles and European Cup and he just looked the opportunism gift horse in the mouth.

You see this is where I just don't understand them as a fanbase. There are no rules that say that "the first £100m you spend will be on shite and you'll only find value in the next £100m." I get that the Glazers have taken funding out of the club that could be spent on transfers - but given their record, instead of spending £700m on utter shit in the last decade, they'd just have spent a billion on absolute turd instead, so they'd be no better off on the pitch and be even more of a laughing stock.

 

The Glazers are part of the problem but mostly insofar as the state of the club off the field - not because of how much they've spent or haven't spent. But as a fanbase they don't understand anything beyond "SiGn MoRe BiG nAmE pLaYeRz!!!!111!"

To be fair they are calling for the glazers to go. But why would you when it's a cash cow? Unless a mental over market value offer came in.

 

They want it all. New owners, loads of money, loads of new signings. 

 

After all, they are Manchester United.
