@ChinoUTD It's not about MUFC it's about consistency. It has been apparent that the lack of consistency is what is causing issues. You can't have one game pulling a players hair is a straight red card then the week after it's ignored. Head butting a player is not even looked at. Be fair
🇾🇪 The Greenhoff Brothers
There's a version of history where none of it happens. Where a November storm in 1976 passes over Stoke without doing much damage, the Victoria Ground roof stays intact, and two brothers from Barnsley never get to share the greatest afternoon of their lives together at Wembley.
Stoke sold Jimmy mid-season because they needed £250,000 to repair their ground after a powerful windstorm ripped through it. He was their most beloved player having scored almost a century of goals for them since 1969. He refused to leave. Until the phone rang.
Sir Matt Busby had called the club personally, asking "Is it right you're selling Jimmy Greenhoff?" and that was enough to change everything. The idea that Sir Matt had picked up the phone on his behalf that settled it immediately. Jimmy joined Tommy Docherty's United in November 1976 for £120,000. An absolute bargain.
What often gets forgotten is how decorated Jimmy already was before he pulled on a red shirt. He'd won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup with Leeds in 1968 and the League Cup with Stoke in 1972. A volley against Birmingham in December 1974 was voted ITV's Goal of the Season. He was 30 when he signed for United, and in many ways at the very peak of his craft.
And waiting for him at Old Trafford was his younger brother.

@UTDKara If his fate was in doubt he confirmed last night he was gone. Critism is easy but when you consistently make mistakes unforced errors ppls patience will quickly dissappear
So many men in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s are struggling with a mental crisis they’re too afraid to admit. Nobody is telling them how valued they are, how appreciated they are and what a great fucking job they’re doing. Life becomes transactional, their consistency gets taken for granted and at the end of the day after taking care of other peoples needs, they are left alone with theirs. So we drink, we take drugs and we self medicate. We are filled with fear, anxiety and doubt, emotions we were taught that only weak men and losers feel but this is nonsense. 99.9% of men (especially Fathers) are going through exactly the same inner turmoil as you. If you recognize this, i just want to tell you that you’re doing a fucking amazing job, you matter and whatever demon you’re trying to go around right now, go right fucking through like you have with every demon that’s faced you in your life. Ice that motherfucker
