Frustrated Meath Man / Accountant / Dad. Roy was right - McCarthy and Fergie were wrong. Long live the 90s

@ajee_Utd Ferguson was told to back off - on several occasions - once even through a contact made with Keane when he was home

But Ferguson mixed up being good at football management with being more powerful than 2 successful millionaires who owned almost 30% of his employer

Guess who won

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@FabrizioRomano $$$ was magnificent again

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@MarS202426 @Toibin1 Enlighten me

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@TheAthleticFC Been obvious since his great Amorim appointment that Wilcox is in it over his head.

Irony is it took Amorim calling him out that led to him losing his job about 12 months too late

But Wilcox going will change little really. Next guy will still be scrounging for “bargains”

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@terrychristian 💯

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@FrankEra_ United are a farce and it’s not down to Carrick (limited as he is). It’s 💯 down to the hierarchy which includes the board and Jason “was good at Southampton” Wilcox

Wilcox is in over his head. He needs to go but him going alone won’t change anything.

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@DaleJohnsonBBC Ignores the impact on finances for the teams that finished second to them each time - sponsorship bonuses, higher commercial revenue as a result of being champions etc.

I’m guessing hard to quantify but I’m sure the clubs effected are looking at it

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@LozNewman8 @MiguelDelaney Fair point

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@LozNewman8 @MiguelDelaney City need to be fucked out of the league (and not just a holiday in the championship) for a lifetime

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@MiguelDelaney @LozNewman8 So you’re into your team the way everyone else is Loz - big swinging….

Fact is city
a) cheated
b) were caught and
c) everyone with a brain knew about it for years

[Melissa Reddy @MelissaReddy_]

How long is the stench of the “sham” going to corrode the meaning, worth, and very essence of the Premier League?

Listening to commentary about Manchester City’s players matching the defiance of their ownership and triumphing in adversity.

Listening to fans chorusing the names of the men running the club, wearing masks or displaying banners of their faces and jibing: “We’re Man City, we’ll cheat when we want.”

Victory being framed as “a lovely moment,” a show of togetherness as though some grave injustice has been imposed on City, rather than their hierarchy being found by an independent commission to have orchestrated financial doping on an industrial scale.

Their opponents and the rest of us wondering if any of this actually matters now and how much of it ever did?

There can be no business as usual pretence. We need a full stop to the absurdity.

@prodnose “But they were great players”

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@MiguelDelaney @MiguelDelaney you’re one of the very very few calling it as it is today.

@SkySports, @premierleague, @GNev2, @Carra23, @FabrizioRomano to name but a few all drooling over an organisation we’ve all known are corrupt for years. Keane also - the pay cheque rules

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@premierleague @ManCity Seriously??

You’ve just found them guilty of 114 charges of cheating and you’re applauding them??

At least try to pretend you’re not corrupt

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@AkaPaulHoward Reminds me of West Ham every time the play United in their relegation seasons

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@bigmickey1 @terrychristian @StretfordPost Sorry Michael - don’t buy that. United are still the biggest club the England. It could take 15 years but, like Arsenal, they will win it again and hopefully build a dynasty from there.

None of the players you name above (even Bruno on current form) would make arsenals bench

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@bigmickey1 @terrychristian @StretfordPost Michael - do you really believe any of these would start for a team that’s won the PL? They wouldn’t have got close to any United starting line up I’ve ever known. Squad players or those who might have been considered for a home game against Derby with a CL game on Tuesday maybe

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@terrychristian @StretfordPost Quiet simple really - United have a squad of, at best, mid table journeymen such as Cunha and Dalot, some aging top level players such as Maguire and Shaw and one or 2 possible stars of the future. No manager can make that challenge.

….but Amorim? The greatest fraud ever

[Anthony Tobin @TheButchers_Boy]

@BoxinPhilosophy @AkaPaulHoward Eh no they didn’t

Juventus fixed which referees would have their games - they didn’t pay off the refs. It was cheating but in the same way as breaking financial regulations to overspend by £800m

Say it was a women’s game but city were allowed field men - consider that fair?
