🚨🗣 @NathSalt1:

"Ineos-owned Lausanne Sport sit bottom of the Swiss league with just one win from eight games.

Similarly Ineos-backed Nice are rock bottom of Ligue 1 with the third-worst defensive record, albeit four games in.

There’s Manchester United Women, they are bottom, too, after a wretched start to the new WSL season.

And then there’s United’s men’s team, who have conceded two goals in three of their four Premier League games so far, are out of the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle and were beaten in the Manchester derby by 10 men. Whatever the opposite of a Midas touch is, Ineos have it."

@UTDMarcel What about when he was not tracking back and jogging after the ball. He disrespected the badge. We should stop treating players like they are bigger than the club

The blood pact was sealed on this day.

I would have defended Keane with my life back in the day. But in the present day, when everybody shits on the club, only one man has shown unfaltering loyalty, dignity, professionalism and output.

Doesn't matter if it's Roy Keane or anyone else, I will defend Bruno Fernandes against everyone and everything until the bitter end. And we're not even close to the end. Bring it on.

So just over two years in my dream job came to an end today as I became one of the statistics you’ve been reading about in the press associated with United.

For those two years I loved every day of being able to work at Old Trafford, I loved the immense privilege despite it being such a difficult time in our history, hoping that I could help from within to contribute something positive.

I’m beyond proud of my work outside of United, the kind reviews of my books and perception of me as a writer. To be described as the pre-eminent writer on the club by Martin Edwards, to have Tony Whelan say I have ‘no peers when it comes to articulating the nature and essence of our magnificent football club’ are not tributes I use to be boastful, but are compliments I’m incredibly, incredibly proud of, as they represent something I’ve worked extremely hard for. 

That outside reputation earned the trust of some of the club’s most beloved families, as well as that of the family of Tom Tyrrell, who entrusted me with his archive. I was able to use some of that to create some fascinating content for the club, including podcasts to mark the 66th anniversary of Munich and the 25th anniversary of the Treble, which were both very warmly received.

I was also trusted to conduct a one-man investigation to discover the foundation date of the club, which I accomplished. The club did not know of this beforehand. It is one of the most important pieces of information in the club’s history and I’m very proud that it was my research and investigation which discovered it. 

I am proud that I worked on the campaign that saw former players awarded winners’ medals in 2023. I also conceived a legacy project to record interviews with elder figures at Old Trafford for archival use for future generations, and worked on important in-house academy projects. 

And I have immense pride that copies of my books have been given to young academy players, as well as sit inside the walls of Old Trafford on the director’s corridors. 

To see these things with my own eyes has been an indulgence I cannot describe.

Obviously, I am heartbroken that my contribution is no longer of value to the club I love.

I understand that difficult decisions have to be made. I have seen very talented people leave their roles, and I have seen legendary figures who are drenched in the history of our club been told they too are now part of the past; a past which is, for me, the richest history in football, a past which these people remain a significant part of the tapestry and educational process for the future. They are indispensible; the cost of losing them far greater than financial.

I read all the comments on social media from those on the outside, who speak about the necessity of these decisions.

People make jokes and comments, but we are talking about people working for the club, mostly because they love the club. It’s the biggest club in the country, possibly the world, and every loss I’ve seen and experienced has been significant to the operations. Every loss has been felt. 

These are real people, real lives, being affected - not because of the quality of their performance or contribution. They work incredibly hard and feel, like I have done, a sense of gratitude and privilege and a dream coming true. There are people having to deliver terrible news which wasn’t their decision to make. A football club is not a normal business. It is a community asset, serving different needs. It is it’s history. 

Anyway.

So today I leave the club I love, hoping that one day, they will need me again, and that I’ll be back, my tiny little cog in the big machine, my sense of grandoise not lost on me with the self-importance of this post. 

I’m by no means an important loss, but it’s an important loss to me.

When will the protest start against Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS? I dont want to hear this isnt Jim's fault! he knew what he was doing getting into bed with the leeches. He is now screwing over every Man Utd supporter and destoying the club #GlazersAndRatcliffeOut

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

United fans singing Garnacho's name. He's been their best player tonight. The prospect of Ineos selling him on the cheap and taking a knife to the club's academy identity would be unforgivable. #mufc

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

Fans singing Garnacho's name. Selling him would be a crime INEOS

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

If we sell Garnacho we're absolute idiots. One of the few brights sparks in this squad we could actually build with

Eskom plants started collapsing in 2018 when Ramaphosa was appointed, not in 2007. President Zuma only had 8 months of load shedding from 2014 to 2015.

Ramaphosa is responsible for 95% of loadshedding since 2007.

[The United Stand @UnitedStandMUFC]

"We have a toxic environment that drags every manager down, and it'll stay when ten Hag's gone!" 👎

@markgoldbridge on why #mufc need to get rid of the same toxic players dropping their performances for numerous managers, before getting rid of Erik ten Hag.
