INEOS are going to make 2 last minute signings
New signings will take weeks to blend with the first team
ManUtd will be 8th in PL and out of CL
Carrick sacked and replaced by Fletcher around Christmas
We’ve seen this movie before
14 goals conceded in his last 7 games, what a basket 🤮😭
I think we don’t talk much of how average this guy is. Maybe we’re not seeing it because we went from onana to him, it looks more like an upgrade but I can tell there’s no difference.
Most Manchester United fans think the Glazers started ruining football clubs in 2005, what they don’t realize is that United was just the ultimate prize in a decades-long history of corporate raiding and greenmail.
Before Malcolm Glazer ever stepped foot on Old Trafford, his entire playbook was built on amassing massive targeted stakes in unsuspecting companies, creating chaos for their boards, and forcing lucrative buyouts
- Formica (1988): Acquired a heavy stake to corner management into defensive buyouts.
- Harley-Davidson (1989): Snagged ~7% of shares, triggering corporate panic until the board reshuffled to protect itself.
- Tonka Toys & Brunswick: Hunted consumer icons, using leverage and board friction for cash extractions.
- Zapata Corp (1992): Bought 38.8% out of nowhere, waged war against the board, hijacked control, and gutted its balance sheet.
When the Glazers turned to Manchester United, they executed the ultimate greenmail evolution - instead of taking a payout to go away, they bought the club, saddled it with over £500M in debt, and made United fund its own hostiles.
The parallels to our situation today are undeniable
- Value Extraction Over Asset Health: Greenmail prioritizes short-term cash over long-term stability. While Old Trafford and Carrington eroded, hundreds of millions flowed out in dividends and interest payments.
- Leverage as a Hostage Fee: The 2005 LBO forced United to pay for its own takeover. Glazers put up virtually zero personal equity.
- Partial Buyouts & Fractional Control: Look at the INEOS / Sir Jim Ratcliffe transaction. Instead of exiting, they sold a 25% minority slice at an inflated valuation to fund infrastructure they neglected for 20 years, all while hanging onto B-class voting control.
We aren't just dealing with poor football ownership. We are witnessing a textbook corporate greenmail campaign executed on a global institution.
جمهور اليونايتد عمال يقول أيام رانجنيك وناس عمالة تقول تين هاج وناس تقول تصريحات رونالدو .. الحقيقة الجراح اللي شخّص حالة الفريق وسبق الكل علي حال اليونايتد هو جوزيه مورينهو ..
بس محدش سمع من وقتها 👋
Jason Wilcox has to go
Omar Berrada has to go
Jim Ratcliffe has to go
The Glazers have to fuck off
Take FUCKING responsibility you numbskulls.
We don’t want your new stadium. Just give our club back @ManUtd#GlazersOut
Translation - Wilcox told me they're too broke to sack me. Standards are in the mud. But Wilcox and Berrada are working it out on the next decision they're going to fuck up, so up until then I'm going to be here and take all the beating for them.
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana was taken to HOSPITAL following a serious car accident in Turkey!
The 30-year-old, currently on loan at Trabzonspor, was travelling with his family when his car was reportedly hit from behind at HIGH SPEED, causing it to collide with another vehicle.
"As a lead reporter for Manchester United, I was once BANNED from any mention of the Glazers for 10 days, after calling them parasites for what they've done to a great institution." -
@MelissaReddy_ (ex-Sky Sports senior reporter)
Man Utd is officially a dictatorship.
🚨 BREAKING:
Eddie Howe is the current PREFERRED candidate of Jason Wilcox to replace Michael Carrick should Manchester United decide to change manager. Wilcox believes Howe’s extensive Premier League experience places him ahead of other potential targets. #MUFC [@JamieJackson___]
😤 "We don't want a 100,000-seater stadium, we want a team to be proud of!"
😡 "Stick your new stadium up your backside!"
Alex Crook is furious with Jim Ratcliffe and the #MUFC hierarchy as Bruno Fernandes is backed amid Michael Carrick uncertainty! 🔥
@kamildamudi@centregoals He has an 83% pass rate this season - where we’ve sucked real bad and he’s playing false 9 and RM. He had 21 assists last season and Player of the year. Of course not had the best time, but Rooney had bad games too.
Rooney played under Sir Alex, but still questioned our ambition
People turning on Bruno Fernandes now.
Imagine being in a job where you’re the only one who’s given his all for 6 years, your ability far surpasses anyone else, and your career is going nowhere, disappearing fast, while others with less ability elsewhere are outperforming your place of work constantly.
Eventually, even the most committed of us would say enough is enough.
@indykaila United players pleading to leave the club
Eddie Howe’s previous team pleaded to leave the club
Clueless owners and Piece of 💩 DoF and CEO 🤡
Perfect match in heaven
Shame on those ungrateful ManUtd fans dissing Bruno Fernandes.
Criticising his performance is fine and maybe it’s time for him to go, but making him the scapegoat for our current state is downright disrespectful to his service and commitment to this club
WTF! This will be a better soap than Baywatch and will have more violence than GoT.
Won’t be surprised if Ratsniff and Wilcox are creating animosity within for this series
🚨BREAKING: Amazon threatens to pull the plug on United’s “All or Nothing” series.
“United have lost their opening match to newly promoted Hull, conceded a last-minute equaliser to Everton, lost to 10-man Manchester City, seen JJ Gabriel request to leave the club, lost to Brighton after being ahead by two goals, lost to Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, had Lisandro Martínez publicly criticise the club’s ambitions, conceded after two minutes against Como, and recorded zero wins in their last six matches.
Prime has threatened and warned that it may pull out of the deal if the situation at United does not improve. The media company is questioning the profitability of the documentary given how the season has unfolded, stating that there is nothing positive coming from it and asking whether it is worth continuing or better ditched.
A senior executive said the company does not proceed with these projects unless it is completely sure of a surprise package waiting to be unveiled, or is prepared to cut costs immediately if it is no longer deemed necessary.
In this case, nothing is confirmed yet. The investment department is seriously considering its options amid growing concerns at Manchester United.”
