| Manchester United on 22:03 - Nov 8 by essextaxiboy |
I dont really understand the vitreol concerning Man Utd . Sure some of their fans have become entitled and a bit plastic but I think thats inevitable when a team has been so successful for so long.
As far as I know they havnt bought success from some oligarch or by cheating or some obnoxios regime but by spending big with their own generated money .
In fact they have been put into debt by the Glazers and Ratcliffe has dismantled probably the most proffessional club commercial operation in the world . The fans have been shafted There has been no investment in the stadium and their recruitment has been dire.
Personally I can think of at least 10 clubs who l would rather see in trouble |
Well, no-one comes close to C*****a for obnoxiousness, but I'm 63 and Man Utd have been entitled w*nkers for my entire life.
In the pre-Fergie years they were still up themselves even though before they won the title in 1993 the last Manchester club to do it had been Allison's City in '68. They were perennial members of the "Big 5" clubs and always mentioned in any proposed "super league" breaking away from the Football League which eventually gave us the Premier League and all the sh*t that goes with it, including the dire financial position which clubs like QPR find themselves in.
That "most professional club professional organisation in the world" was about flogging merch to kids in say Oxford or Wycombe or Aldershot and making sure those same kids would never ever support their own local club, and flogging crappy shirts made in Far Eastern sweat shops to Far Eastern kids. The money generated was used to outbid other clubs for players, with laughable lack of success all through the 70s and 80s, hence the absolute outrage among United fans when skanky little Blackburn Rovers dared to outbid them for Alan Shearer and went on to win the title. It's also why so many other clubs find themselves only too happy to be taken over by some of the most shady individuals in the world (including ourselves back in the Briatore/Ecclestone days) - because United pioneered making football all about money and the only way to compete is to get a pile of it yourself.
Apart from The Scum the only other English clubs to come near to United in this sorry tale are Liverpool and more recently Citeh (though bloody Spurs would have done it if they weren't so laughably bad at it.)
Also: Eric Cantona in the 9 millionth minute of Fergie time.
F*ck 'em. Absolutely f*ck 'em into the sea. I hope they go down (and Man City can p*ss off too for their crimes) and if we go up above them by whatever means I'll laugh my head off. |  |
