I don't know who comes out of this the worst, Man U/Ratcliffe or Ashworth? What do you reckon la chica Mexicana?

There's zero chance the figure leaked to the press by ManU is accurate. They had massive motivation to try and save face after Ratcliffe went off like an unhinged loon complaining about having to pay for Ashworth at all. Ashworth has gone from looking unloyal, to idiotic, to incompetent in the space of a year. And all from a starting position where it seemed many were willing to accept that the glint of incoming silverware shone directly out of his arsehole. What a catastrophically delicious fall from grace. This rivals that Kone 2012 cunt. And he had a masturbate at an intersection in broad daylight to achieve his downfall. Having this kind of sense for self-destruction without a penchant for sexual depravity is virtually unheard of. Bravo!

Has left Man United.

Guehi can fuck right off for me, the god bothering bigoted prick Right up until he signs when I will appreciate his brave principled stance

I suppose you'd want the cost as high as possible from a psr perspective, but you just know man utd will claim it was unexpected horticultural costs due to covid, and richard masters will say aye ok.

Wheel spoke wanker

Yeah I remember a (rare) Mike Ashley interview where he said something along the lines of “if I drop 5/10 mill on a project I expect to see pretty much immediate improvement” it was when Pardew was manager I think. Ratcliffe may well turn out to be Ashley in overalls

I reckon it’s Radcliffe. Which bodes well if so. He seems to think he can just hire and fire like it’s any other business. Football’s a different animal because there’s a smaller pool of those with the expertise, access to scouting networks and (probably most importantly) the right agents. And while it couldn’t happen to a nicer cunt, if you think someone is the right person for that sort of role then surely you recognise it’s a long term project. He’s been there one window. I know they spent a lot in the summer and there’s not much to show for it on the evidence so far. But what if the new manager gets a tune out of the few signings and they turn out to be good ones? Hilarious though, obviously

He’ll have made a small fortune but at least his reputation is in tatters both from a tangible results point of view and his complete lack of loyalty or scruples. The fucking snake.

Mmmm, appetising.

Seen a fair bit of speculation that the Brighton success doesn’t have that much to do with him. He wasn’t there that long. As I’ve mentioned before, considering his sort of role is about the medium and long term as much as the present, he doesn’t seem to hang around places long enough for that to come to be properly assessed. Also, wasn’t he behind Allardyce getting the England job? The more I hear about him the more I think he talks a good game

Ashley was a county squash player when he was younger I think. It’s difficult to believe Steve Bruce was once a top class centre half when you see him now I suppose. Re: the Ashley/Radcliffe comparisons. It’s a sign of his huge arrogance that the latter thought all he had to do was rock up apply some ‘business practices’ and Man Utd would be great again. He’s fired staff and put the ticket prices up. As though that does owt when you’ve got Rashford and Antony on £300k/ £200k a week anyway. Quite apart from making zero difference on the pitch

I imagine him deciding to keep Ten Haag and letting him spend £200m on this pile of shite isn't unrelated

We just need EH to introduce "mate" to his vernacular and the transition will be complete. Keep saying it, it's obvious too many of our players think playing the dross of the league is below them. You also have to wonder how Bruno can do a couple of long haul flights for international breaks, play two 90 minute games and then constantly starts and play 90 minutes and yet Tonali plays a couple of matches for Italy in Europe and he's on the bench every second game. BTW Wilson has been done for at least a season and a half now and yet we're happy to wheel him out instead of a kid who has pace and isn't made of glass. It's all rather predictably disappointing.

Shortened YP

Re Guehi, @GrahamTaylor5 it seems overwhelmingly likely to me that his "I love Jesus" carried the subtext "so I'm not down with this rainbow shit".

Some reports that the relationship broke down because Ashworth wanted Southgate as manager rather than Amorim

Fucking hell I missed the news about Ashworth. I think this is probably quite a big mistake from Ratcliffe and I enthusiastically applaud it.

Reckon he spent more time on gardening leave than he did working there?

He put a Christian message on, which I think he was asked not to do. I agree with what you say but on that basis either wear it or don’t. Seems like he wanted to have it both ways. Tbh, I wish people would just say they disagree with homosexuality instead of hiding behind religion. I don’t condone the view but at least it’s honest.

Can I ask what is so bad about what he did with the arm band? At least he wore it. I cannot stand the push of anything whether it be everyone having to wear the rainbow armband or everyone having to wear a poppy. I think it devalues the original message when people are expected/ in many respects forced to wear something rather than make a conscious effort to support a message.

Money well spent!

I think the majority of us are still behind him. However, he is not infallible so we are allowed to question where he is going with this team given we have been poor for most of the season and not just today’s match day. There are undoubtedly mitigating circumstances (such as the disastrous transfer window) but Howe is not blameless. As I said though, the majority of us still back him as manager but he needs to find a way of beating the comparatively weaker teams.

Maybe the Christian CB doth protest too much?

I bet you call lass's kegs "panties". And before you start trying to turn this around on me, I call them lass's kegs.

The problem with Bruno is that he’s been in and out for 18 months. If you stopped and thought about it you’d struggle to come up with more than 5 games where he was running the show. Tonali has 2/3 games in his last five appearances. I think giving Bruno the armband will prove to be a mistake. It should have been handed to Burn and then Howe may have felt less obligated to play Bruno every game when he isn’t doing the business. Giving him the captaincy now feels very much like a compromise to stop him pushing for an exit in the summer for me.. only for him to fuck off next summer anyway.

99% of cases where someone is asked about LGBT issues or support and they bring Jesus into the mix for no reason they are homophobic cunts. I’m willing to bet Guehi is no different, although accept I could be a mile off with my assumption.

Bit harsh, I think Alex talks a lot of sense on here tbh

Yeah I’m calling bullshit on that figure. Definitely a lot higher

£20m for 5 months

Buzzing for this game , 4 of us heading down to hospitality 2-0 newcastle

3 years pffft. Kenneth Williams had a whole career in camp roles.

Screw you

I’ll step up. Dazzler, you filthy skanky metal-loving cock-munching slum-dwelling sister-fucking scumbag tramp. You’re a fucking disappointment to your family and I hope you die a horrible death.

Buster Nonads.

TALES FROM THE TRUCK VOL 89. ffs.

He’s David Brent man, middle management corporate speak bullshit and does nowt of substance. With nicer suits. Fair play for him to keeping the con going so long.

It was the religious message, which is banned from being on display within the PL. Now I hate all religions, so each to their own but if he had of put a betting logo or alcohol logo on the armband, he would have been fine and that's fucking ludicrious.

Bunch of tools, tbh.

Mid table team lads. He needs the funds to build.

Chawk Tuah?

Wrong thread mate.
