That's a rudimentary understanding of the financial situation.

There's no benefit to me and you discussing the nitty-gritty of it. It's too complex and nuanced. We have incomplete information and no insight into the brains of the Glazers.

What I do know is that LBO's and businesses maintaining a debt ratio is not uncommon nor necessarily a negative. I know dividends were still a thing back when we were a PLC. I know that if we look back to the nature of the Glazers takeover it was necessary - without it Sir Alex would have been gone. We had f*** all alternative unless you wanted Rupert Murdoch. And in all of this time not a single attractive buyout consortium has emerged - the Red Knight's proposition was wank.

The Glazers are businessmen. That's just the reality of it. And if you want United to compete with the best of them, well your only options for owners are gonna be businessmen who's priority isn't exactly football.

Man Utd is self-sustaining. That's pretty rare at this echelon. Our revenue is this significant thanks to shrewd commercial decisions. We're not reliant on cash injections or government aid. We're not a front for sports washing or beholden to owners who sack managers and sell players at their whim. We're very healthy financially and pretty f***ing ethically healthy compared to the competition.

Every single manager has been backed. Being backed does not mean the equivalent of Fifa Career Mode. Our expenditure is up there with anyone. Our wage bill soared post-Sir Alex because the Glazers didn't stand in the way of all these s*** managers making short-sighted signings on bloated wages.

We lost a manager who was just a behemoth that took it upon himself to understand every facet of the club. We gave the same autocracy to the managers that followed in good faith but it's backfired. We've realised that clearly and we've already made moves to remedy that.

And seriously, how can you of all people say "who gave Ole that 3 year contract?". Just ridiculous.

I'm not sure I would categorise talking to Jesse Lingard as 'access to the innerworkings of the club'

Is it summer yet

If they're discussing the dressing room, it is. Members of the media shouldn't be privy to that information

Eh, molehill imo.

Not exactly a surprise to anyone that the dressing room atmosphere is s***.

Scholes is obviously in the wrong for namedropping Lingard. But good luck policing former teammates chatting to one another, media or not. These are humans; people talk about their work and colleagues.

Naturally you don't want names attached to statements - but its hardly sensitive information, nor does Scholes seem to be doing this every week.

Ngl I don’t dare to go back a year and see all the stupid s*** I’ve said tbh

i told yall a few weeks ago forget top 4 for a happy life, i stand by it

f*** every player at that club that has a problem with ten hag coming in, i hope he slams the hammer down on these worthless f***s and gets rid of the lot bar a few

Paul mitchell x Ralf x Ten Hag need to run this b**** or i have 0 hope for the coming seasons

He should be the DoF, this ground breaking stuff

wannabe gaRY NevILLE

No thanks don’t need another ex player using the club for his own self interest. Need people like Paul Mitchell who have actually done it

Need him to become a director, we’ve never had someone who’s currently employed at the club speak the truth about what’s actually happening

💯

If i see this clown in the street it over for him

Man blame everyone but himself
