The Manchester United Thread

I've totally zoned out of United recently, this European Super League is an absolute disgrace to every football fan and club in the country. I expected it with the likes of City and Chelsea, but for United and Liverpool to have talks and sign up behind our backs, it is absolutely disgusting the direction they are going to take us. These American owners don't give a ***** about these clubs and they are going to take away the game we love for their own greed. Woodward Is a big part of us signing up for this as well, screw him and screw the Glazers... they will not get any of my support. I hope you will do the same now, enough is enough.

Look, this goes against the traditions of football and the game we have loved growing up. We can't allow these clowns to do this, I hope all fans will start taking serious action and partnering with the FA who will try (probably fail) to stop these multi billionaire owners doing this.

Not only that, they are doing this behind our backs during a time when clubs are having to collapse and we are in a ****** pandemic! It's damning that even now all they see is a way to stop competition and make themselves even more money.

Sorry but then you are also part of the problem in my eyes. You'd watch your club demolish its own history and go to a European super League? Really? Come on man! Everything this club has been built on and all the history would be for nothing.

Created by the poor, stolen by the rich.... it's a true quote I saw. That's what's happening.
 
Eh, TOD. I've been a united supporter for 25 years. Been a season ticket holder for 5 of them years too. The moment we are included in any sort of statement of intent to form this super greed league, I'd pretty much withhold my support for United

I love united to bits through thick and thin but this simply goes against what we've stood for. I'd rather we get relegated to the champtionship than join a super greed league.

Shame on both United AND Liverpool.
 
Ferguson, who won the Champions League twice with Manchester United after having European success with Scottish club Aberdeen, told Reuters that he enjoyed “special nights” in the Champions League.

“Talk of a Super League is a move away from 70 years of European club football. Both as a player for a provincial team Dunfermline in the 60s and as a manager at Aberdeen winning the European Cup Winners’ Cup, for a small provincial club in Scotland it was like climbing Mount Everest,” he told Reuters.


“Everton are spending £500 million to build a new stadium with the ambition to play in Champions League. Fans all over love the competition as it is,” he said.

“In my time at United, we played in four Champions League finals and they were always the most special of nights.

“I’m not sure Manchester United are involved in this, as I am not part of the decision making process,” he added.


Gary Neville, Ferguson’s former captain, interrupted his commentary on Sky Sports’ coverage of United’s match against Burnley to criticise the breakaway plans.

“I think to bring forward proposals in the midst of COVID, in the midst of the economic crisis, is an absolute scandal,” he said.

“United, and the rest of the ‘Big Six’ clubs that have signed up to it, against the rest of the Premier League, should be ashamed of themselves,” he said.

“I can’t concentrate on the game... they should deduct all six teams that have signed up to it. Deduct points from them all,” he said.

The hypocrisy from Neville there is astounding. He was involved, and hugely benefited, at the start of the breakaway back in 1992. The same the organisation he works for.

People who have ruined football for money moaning about other people trying to ruin football for money without any sense of self awareness. 🤦‍♂️

Thought the same while he was bleating on during the game. Hypocrites everywhere.

Not exactly. It's kinda like a new champions league except you don't qualify on merit. Only on status which is ridiculous.

What I like with the league is we could finish 20th and get relegated. With this super greed idea, we could finish dead last and still stay within this league. It's atrocious

Wouldn’t argue at all mate but the hupocrisy from UEFA because they suddenly find themselves on the outside looking in, is unreal.

Most Countries ‘champions’, those that aren’t in big TV market leagues who are in bed with UEFA, don’t get into whats effectively a ‘closed shop’ CL as it is. Whilst 4 teams from said major markets do.

So UEFA can stick trying to play any sort of ‘moral high ground’ card right up there hypocritical backsides.
 
We should probably take this to the official thread on this, but 'if' the ESL comes to fruition, then the PL/ UEFA/ Sky/ and all the clickbait gob______like your Nevilles, etc currently up in arms with their hypocritical B/S on the telly, should ALL take a long hard look at themselves for something that's been three decades in the making.

You've ALL done everything in your power to empower these unscrupulous clubs and are as responsible as ANYONE for the state of the game as it currently is. This will be just the natural conclusion of your own avarice.

Reap what you sow.

Bit hypocritical when all you do is ***** and moan about the Glazers destroying our club etc. Then continue to pay for Sky/BT or support illegal streaming to watch the matches or invest in any official merch!
 
Super League can suck my big black ****, but I also having a hard time taking all the meltdowns seriously when the same stuff happened with Premier League breakaway. And don't get me started on European Cup changing into the Champions League and dividing footballing Europe into the empire and the colonies that exists solely to feed top 5 leagues with talent. But then we can't have Red Star Belgrade or Steaua Bucharest stealing the spotlight.

I've never bought official merchandise (in last 15 yrs) and I would never pay the scandalous prices of Sky that's for sure. Each to their own!

Yeah but this rejects the very notion of having competition.. teams can't even be ****** relegated, if there isn't competition in football then what's the point? This is set up by owners of clubs who have ZERO knowledge about football and it shows with what they are trying to create. Arsenal aren't even a CL team yet their owners give them divine right to be in a super league every season, it's a joke!

Premier League works because it's still a competition, teams at both sides of the table have something to play for..... what is there to even watch this super league ***** for?
