Man Utd (A) - Sun 1st Sep 2024 (4:00pm)

The really annoying thing about them is they'll never go away.

 

Nearly £2 billion they've spent on players and sacking managers since Fergie left. That is fucking crazy. Any other club would be fucked by now and never recover from it.

 

Now they want to build a 100,000 seat stadium. For another £2 billion, it's mental. The bastards will never die because they have too much money and they'll continue to pump it in until it works one day. 

 

The state of the fan base is toxic, enough divisions exist for this to crumble apart but the cunts make too much revenue. Pisses me off, I want to see them crash and burn. Any other business in the world that's lost the money they have over the last 10 years would be fucked by now.

 

Why the fuck are their Chinese fans still buying shirts, you live in China, get the fake ones you silly bastards.

I wouldn't read too much into this £2bn stadium plan. The whole "Wembley for North" idea being bandied about by the Brexit cunt won't fly much. Why the fuck does the country need another fucking national stadium? Cannot see the Labour government bankrolling the plan having just come to power. If it was the Tory cunts I would be worried. 

 

But yes, they will continue to pump money and hope one day it works. Hope that day never comes.

Wasn't city of Manchester stadium meant to be that stadium?

[Bobby Hundreds]

Cut things like winter fuel allowance but use tax payers money to buy a bunch of Billioniarres a new stadium!

The athletic have released a decent video today, a couple of interesting rough charts (they joke about replacing them in the edit) showing the comparative timelines between us losing Dalglish and Ferguson retiring I quite liked. Especially because they ignored Hodgson completely.

 

On the same timeframe, we'd be on our third manager by now, Houllier. Honestly the Evans years were when I fell in love with the club, as barren as they were, Evans and Houllier were a massive part of retaining and modernising the culture of the club.

 

 

They talk about the committee being the turning point, bringing in a properly joined up strategy.

personally id say Houllier was instrumental in modernisng the club.

evans certainly wasnt.

Fair. It was kind of a "respectively" comment, Evans allowed the club to reconnect to the pre-Souness continuity, and with the kids he brought on the club managed to avoid the trap of trying to buy their way back to success, then Houllier took the club forward.
