But the operating loss predates any of those new developments listed. The club has been largely a money losing operation for years and not simply because of one off payments and investments.
I suspect Ugarte would have carried on playing last night even if his leg had fallen off. Tough as nails, just what we needed in midfield..
It was great. Yes, it's Barnsley, but that's the type of game we have recently scrappped by. We scored seven, everyone looked up for it. Need to go up a step in class and replicate this in the premier league, but this is what we want, free scoring and solid defending. I know it was Barnsley, again, but Maguire was excellent and Evans also looked like he had at least this season left in him.
Huge mistake yesterday by ETH and taking Amad off and moving Garnacho over to the right. Those two are effective in their own way and shouldn't be swapped (or subbed) and if rashford wants a game then he has to accommodate those two, not the other way around.
It's just a primary rendering rather than a final design, it simply orientates the proposed new stadium in its surroundings to provide perspective, other rendered images have been released that seem quite promising.
Looks dreadfully corporate. I'm sure it'll be excellent, and may even have a cheese room, but 100,000. Do we need that? I actually like the old dear, there's **** all wrong with it bar not being able to purchase an actual pint while in there! It's a proper football stadium ffs.
Please note that the utterly useless Sancho now has four assists in a many games while we continue to struggle. This actually p*sses me right off! Everyone is never good enough for the great Manchester United. But they end up being very useful for other teams.
Yeah, he was good for a couple of games for Dortmund too. Then they sent him back. No idea why they would do this. Do you actually watch football, or just look at stats?
Actually, I’ve always enjoyed watching Sancho play. Hence why I always insisted that he would add tremendous value to the team if given a decent run. Besides, I’d like to see anyone else with his stats in our team if you think that’s all I look at. And it wasn’t simply the case that Dortmund didn’t want him. They couldn’t afford him. Logistics of the finances came into it.
Of course you would conclude he is sh**. But point me to another player in our team that isn’t sh**. The very fact is that every single one of them is sht under the current system. What you need to be vocal about is how sht the system is. Not this useless tripe about players that go away from this godawful system and do much better for their new teams. Sancho is one of the reasons Chelsea will finish way above United this season and scoring more goals, especially as we keep faith in ETH.
We had the same **** with Arsenal when it came to Havertz. Sometimes players are good, they just dont work under certain systems, in certain styles. Sometimes the player is bad, sometimes the system doesnt suite them. We know Sancho is a good player from what he did in Germany and flashes he had for United. But Chief is right, much like us with Havertz, its no good whinging about it, just gotta let it go and move on. I mean ffs at one point we had De Bruyne and Salah!!! Who went on to become two of the best players in the world.
I really don't get why Sancho gets a pass? It's the weirdest paradox, a bloke who is obsessed with transfer fees and salaries, yet the one player who pisses that away and sticks a massive **** off to the club and the fans is somehow exempt from any criticism. **** Sancho. **** him, he's gone, forever hopefully. The bloke is a treacherous **** and I wouldn't blink if he never kicked a ball again in his life. I just wish he'd take his mate Rashford with him, the amount of effort the pair have made in the previous two seasons.
Put a decent player on the pitch, give him the ball and he will do good things with it, regardless of the shirt he's wearing. No player goes onto the pitch having been told by the manager to play badly, its an innate thing with footballers to try and play well. Whatever the system, players want to win, strikers want to score, keepers want to keep clean sheets, they don't need a fkn manager to tell them what to do. Sancho downed tools having been asked in training to mimic the style of a certain Arsenal player who we were facing in our next fixture, he refused and in doing so fkd up the managers game preparation - and his team member's chances of success. There is no place in ANY team for a player who turns it on and off in games of their choosing - same applies to the current problem child - Rashford who will hopefully follow his bro out the door..
I think you’d find that our collective lack of obsession over transfers and salaries is firmly part of the failed Woodward’s strategy that decisively destroyed the club and largely contributed to a lost decade and counting. We continue to pay the price today for that egregious lack of fiscal prudence along with lack of thorough football operations. Fact! Two years ago when you said we just needed a number 9 to fix the issues of lack of goals. I persistently pointed out then that a number 9 wasn’t the issue, it was the system that lacked coherency for any striker to truly thrive. And look at where we are today, no single striker has thrived in this system. However, to Bodinki’s point, letting promising players go because they are surplus to requirement is not so much a problem when you have a working system. But when a system is as flawed as ours, it is futile pointing fingers players. Evidently Sancho ain’t as useless as you make him out to be, Chief. Therefore, this pointless drivel about Sancho is completely useless and largely baseless when we have a manager that can’t manage sht at this level to save his life.
