I think some scriptwriters should seriously be looking at penning a sitcom based around the goings on at a once proud footballing giant now in terminal decline.

( Any similarities to persons living or dead , entirely coincidental. Needless to say.)

Okay, Harris. Let’s not start a holy war here.

I thought they’d all be asking the “Arabs” to take them over.

Yeah, several others are crying that Sheik Jassim was not allowed to complete his purchase. They reckon he was going to pay off the debt, fund a new stadium, and make 500M available for new players. Never mind that it’s an oil regime and human rights-abusing fucking scum, as long as he’s not the Glazers!

Absolute fucking worms, the lot of them, they deserve everything that’s currently happening to them.

Let them eat fruit: Manchester United close staff canteen in latest cost-cutting | Manchester United | The Guardian

Manchester United declined to comment, as the person responsible for commenting has been sacked.

I found it bloody hilarious.

Then it struck me, those were people on minimum wages. Given the economic conditions in the UK, this decision would probably drive them to destitution.

Bloody, fucking monster.

Luke Shaw earned £6 million in the last calendar year and hasn’t started a single game

That’s the equivalent to 100 members of staff each earning 60 grand a year

I think I’d be ashamed to go into work and look others in the eye if I earned that for that level of work.

Then again I’m not a multimillionaire or billionaire like Jim. That kind of attitude must come easily and rub off well.

One of my favourite stories ever was related to Redondo who picked up a serious injury shortly after joining Milan from Real, before he could play for them. He famously refused to take a pay check from them (might have and given it to charity) until he was back fit enough to play. Imagine the goodwill if some of these under performing arses covered some of the adminstrative cost of the club currently being gutted.

I did see one insider say this could take over a decade, I don’t want to worry Jim but…

Its bad enough for the affected staff but what message does this send out to potential signings ?
