I have no sympathy for any player that joined them this summer. Raphinia, Christianson and Kounde all had good contracts lined up for them at Chelsea but they chose to put on there birdbox cloth over there eyes and chase the Barcelona fantasy that died when Neymar left. The same with Lewandowski who 'fancied a new challenge'. All you have to do is look at how legends of the club have been treated, the mental transfer spending, the way they're forcing out players with smear campaigns and the Frenkie De Jong story to know something is seriously wrong. It needs one of the Governing Bodies to impose some form of transfer ban to save the club from itself. This gambling of a Super League that only three clubs seem willing to participate in at present is crazy and something UEFA shouldn't be best pleased about. If the stories about Martin Braithwaite holding out for his full pay are true then he should be hailed as a hero. He was signed in completely unreasonable circumstances and the smear campaign pointing out his wealth through his property investments is completely unreasonable. If they release him because he won't take a pay cut without paying his wages he's going to get a lot more than the club owe him now at court.

Conte at this United squad would be a hilarious disaster. These are players that got sick of Solksjaer and Rangnick telling them what to do and stopped giving a fuck. Conte would have them physically exhausted after the first training session and they'd decide "yeah, fuck this we're not playing for that angry Italian guy." And he'd want to overhaul the squad because... why the fuck wouldn't he? And the Glazers would be like "no no no that costs too much money, just get these overpaid dickheads we've already got to actually perform" all while they'd quickly decide they don't like this manager and he's no fun so they don't want to give a shit for him.

That's true, but to be fair to them, the holding Wilsdorf Foundation has been spending tons of money on both local and international charities, environmental and social causes, education as well as culture and infrastructure throughout the years. At the same time, they are also more secretive than the Knights Templars though, so who knows what they are up to

77 years ago USA nuked Japan twice. And to this day people still say ‘iT hAD to Be DoNE’. That’s some top quality brainwashing. I’m sure of Germany won people would say ‘It HaD tO BE dONe’ as well. It’s an atrocity, there is no other description. Am I the crazy one? I would think the only two times a nuke has been dropped on real humans is one of the worst things to have ever happened in the history of humans.

These are the sorts of dipshits that wish the crusades never ended because they never saw their skyman bring about what was promised in the book that was written that they think controls everyone's life. Religious extremists are scum, doesn't matter what religion it is and where in the world they come from. The religious right of the US is desperate to create such a absolute shitshow in the Middle East that the war envelopes the holy lands, because they think that's what's necessary for their prophesy to come true. Which tbh is a bit funny... because where's their faith in their God? Shouldn't they just have to be good Christians and follow the teachings of Christ and be patient for it to eventually happen? But that'd probably require them to do things like: care about poor people or... read more of the Bible than the quotes their hyperpartisan pastors and priests have cherry picked to make their political point. They're no different from the Wahhabi scum they pretend to be so much better than. Just a different flavour of scum, but still absolute scum.

Maybe he's a masochist? He would have to be to stay at Barcelona.

I am not saying it will happen either, just that if we sign Rabiot or Rodriguez of Real Betis, it's dosent mean we have given up on FDJ.

This makes zero sense. Conte would be working at United under Glazer ownership. Spurs already had a better team than United when he joined. Just how exactly was Conte going to do anything at United without the players he can utilise at Spurs? Conte WAS wrong for United at the time. He’d have lasted 6 months tops. Hell, he was halfway through the door at Spurs with a decent enough team at one point.

Its kind of hilarious to watch this from the outside. I do hope they get completely fucked over but some part of me would still feel bad for Lewy. Right or wrongly I might add on his end. I just dont understand it from players perspectives though, especially with the bullshit their pulling with De Jong.

Lewy with some damage control. I mean this was always the way I interpreted things but Im glad hes just trying to clear the air as well.

Barcelona literally cooking the books and UEFA won’t do a thing.

Skip to 2 minutes and 40 seconds. The camera zooms in big time.

It sounds like La Liga have rejected this as not "new" money and they must pay €37.5m tax on this payment. You cannot make this up.

Henry Winter, Chief Football Writer at The Times: Glazers. Bored saying it. If leadership is not hands-on, things drift. Their obsession with money has changed focus at the club. There are many good people at United, hard-working and loyal staff, and your wonderful Foundation saves lives, but the Glazers have changed the culture. The balance needs to shift to football first. Marketing, merchandising, money is all very well, and helps pay the players’ wages, as well as the Glazer dividends, but the centre of the club has to be the dressing room not the marketing department. However warped the culture under the wretched Glazers, players still have to take individual responsibility. Too few did. Oliver Holt, Chief Sports Writer for The Mail on Sunday: They’re an easy target, I suppose, but the obvious answer here is the Glazers. Everything stems from the owners and it was them who persisted with Ed Woodward for as long as they did and presumably them who sanctioned the half-baked succession to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The disaster of 2021-22 also includes, as far as I’m concerned, the increasing disintegration of the infrastructure of the club. There are lots of promises being made about investing in the stadium but I’ll believe it when I see it. James Ducker, Northern Football Correspondent at The Daily Telegraph: Last season’s chaos felt like the culmination of years of mismanagement and the result was one big, toxic mess. The ultimate responsibility rests with the Glazer family and the former executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who presided over an utterly dysfunctional football operation. The appointment of managers with wildly differing styles of play and approaches, combined with a shambolic recruitment set-up, was always going to be a recipe for disaster and last season was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The only upside of Ralf Rangnick’s calamitous six month interim reign is that the German had no qualms about exposing the scale of the problems. I found the entire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer experiment utterly bewildering, including the decision to extend his contract last summer, but in many ways his appointment underlined how abysmally the club has been run.

I love it when the grandson (Kaiden) stays overnight, I get a few treats like this, Scottish pancakes with chocolate spread and bananas all nice and warm.

There is a very real argument that it saved many lives, but the thing that irks me is the lives it saved were of American and Japanese servicemen who had signed their names on the dotted line and knew the risks of combat. In exchange, thousands of civilians died and a generation after suffered from the long term effects of nuclear fall out.

I really like this Tebas bloke. He's really not scared to take on Barcelona to save themselves. He's the complete opposite of Richard Masters, whose overseeing a three year investigation in to Man City's finances, and has swiftly prevented Newcastle from circumventing FFP in the same fashion Man City did.

They’re not gonna shag you mate.

What would Johan Cruyff make of this? I've loved Barcelona for many reasons, but at the moment I just can't fathom how anyone can get behind them. Reckless, bullies, short-sighted, parasites. Since the Super League fiasco a dark cloud has been over them for me.

I think the way Ronaldo's acted this summer has been very poor. If he wanted out of Man Utd, he could and should have let them know earlier. Everyone knew they were getting a new manager, he could have done the new guy and the club a favour by letting him know he wants to move on this summer before the season ended. Then his suggestion that he signs a new contract, goes on loan this season to a CL club, and returns to United once they've qualified for the CL... floated by Mendes... is just an absurd suggestion. Tie him to the club for a year longer and have him return a year older and a year's worth of wear and tear... so he gets a chance to play for United in the CL again... even though he's part of that side that failed to qualify for it this year. It's a bit appalling after returning a year ago to a lot of fanfare, to turn on the clubs, fans, and players like that acting like he's too big to help them fight to where he wants them to be. He's as responsible as any other United player for them not being a CL club this season. He fought hard for this move - he didn't have to turn down City for United - and now he's back at a club he's considered a legend and he's really pissing over his whole legacy on his return. Now they're going to be starting a new season and it's not clear whether his heart is even in it... even though he's probably going to go into the season as United's most important attacking player. It's not great to go into a season with important players not believing in their teammates or in the new manager.

If you didn't know any better you'd think that Logan Paul was an actual every week wrestler. jesus christ some of the guys that do this for a living should be ashamed.
