    Breaking transfer records is still allowed.

    It's making up sponsors for your corner flags and basically being ran and bankrolled by a sportswashing oil emirate that they are trying (and failing) to prevent.

    I'm interested to know what made up story someone can come up with that tells the non truth that United were basically given a **** load of money by Sky and the premier league, and that prior to all this we didn't actually exist?

    I've blown this **** as the fake utter bollocks that it is on more than one occasion on here. Just ask Fosse.

    Never happened.

    I'd love to know when United were given this so called unfair ( <wah> ) advantage over everyone then?

    Is it the being gifted reserve players by other clubs when half of our (home grown) team was wiped out in a plane crash?

    Is that really what some people see as the same as Abu Dhabi giving a club unlimited money?

    For actual **** sake.

    Or could it be playing decent entertaining football that draws in big crowds and accrues money, which can then be spent on the squad? Yeah, could be that.


    Oh, and by the way, have any of you ever heard of Steve Daly or Kevin Reeves? Trevor Francis, surely?

    I'll give you a clue; they weren't signed by the Manchester club that plays in red for a million quid.

    I don't bang on about City, I'll wait to see what comes out of all this first.

    I agree, you don't - but every trophy ever won in this country has been won on the pitch - those that can spend the most just have more chance of doing that ...

    We had the goalscorer on loan a couple of years ago. One of the laziest players I’ve ever seen. Ex-United.

    Probably an own goal actually.

    Remember when Man U had 5 or 6 academy players in their team and Hanson said You dont win anything with kids

    Well they did and their domination started there and only ended when those players got old or sold and not really replaced
