Fergie took them on and lost. Who knows what would've happened if everything had remained stable at board level. -
Some questions from a Manchester United forum
PaddockLad replied to Damien's topic in Newcastle Forum
Woodward has kept all the shareholders happy by increasing the commercial revenue by a gazillion%. In that regard he's been a huge success. The Glazers are ultimately responsible for appointing him and all the managers since Fergie. They've also loaded the club with debt due to the leavarged buyout in the first instance and then skimmed millions out of the club and stuffed it into their back pockets. They've gone from all conquering with zero debt a decade ago to being a shareholders dividend paradise with no real need for sporting success due to the sheer financial power of the Manchester United brand. They, a bit like us, don't really exist for sporting reasons any longer. -

I hate being fair to man u but they had half a dozen out though injury. Thing is you'd think they of all clubs would have a squad to cope better than this mob are. The Glazers have fucked them over royally. -
Bruce's Cabbage Patch Kids V A Wee Small Club In Manchester

I wonder if Bruce realises how Insipidly weak he’s sounded this week? Rata was on an abysmal run this time last year. The same shit was being thrown at him as is being thrown at Bruce. He didn’t whinge to the press about the players. He got them on the training ground and drilled them till they dropped. He also got Rondon fully fit, something Andy Carroll is unlikely ever to be able to be. I think there’s an argument for starting him today and Stone Age Bruce must be very tempted. If he doesn’t start I don’t think he ever will. But Bruce definitely wanted him. Regardless of being on pay as you play, a crock like Carroll takes a squad place up.

This reminds me of every large organisation I've worked for. Each department working to a policy which always ends up as: "IT WASN'T US IT WAS THEM!" Workplace blame culture infecting democracy. I blame Bill gates and his fuckin spreadsheets for modern day management practices. What a cunt.

Sounds like the sort of thing that’s just suggested to deliberately fail in the first instance. “We suggested a deal but the EU didn’t accept it”.... “we’re better off out”.....
