All that early pre season optimism evaporated after the first 20 minutes of this game what an anti climax, the players should be ashamed of how they played
@dadsweb67 Okayama is the best place to avoid earthquakes, since ive been here ive experienced a few tiny tremors but nothing like when i lived in Tokyo. Ive been in Okayama for 15 years.
@AFP Sorry I’ve lived in Japan for 18 years and I still have to leave the room when my daughter eats it. It may be a superfood but I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to keep it down if I took a mouthful, it smells really really bad.
@aiishadahir Assalamu alaikum sister I enjoy your posts daily you really have excellent insight and a good way of relaying information may Allah swt bless you and your family for all your good efforts
Well, well, well.
Where do I start?, hypocrisy?, Irony?, bigotry?, How about our football club, For a club that desperately needs clarity on the pitch, Manchester United instead finds itself dragged into a PR storm entirely of its own making. And at the centre of it is Sir Jim Ratcliffe a man who promised footballing focus but has delivered political distraction.
Let’s be clear: Manchester United is not a political platform. It is a football club built on community, diversity, and global support. From Kuala Lumpur to Mumbai, from Lagos to Tokyo, the badge represents something bigger than borders. It represents belonging.
That’s why Ratcliffe’s comments on immigration feel so profoundly misplaced.
At a time when supporters want leadership, strategy, and accountability, the conversation has been hijacked by rhetoric that has nothing to do with winning football matches.We didn’t ask for culture wars we asked for competence.
And the irony is impossible to ignore.
This is the same ownership structure that has enabled the AMERICAN Glazers who have extracted BILLIONS while leaving the club burdened with debt and decay an ownership that have not put one penny in the club or the country and are looking for government funding to acquire a regeneration project whilst spending 1.8 Billion on a cricket team in India.
There’s a sharp irony in lecturing the countryand the vulnerable about immigration while choosing to live in Monaco a tax haven known for attracting the ultra-wealthy seeking financial advantage. It raises an obvious question: how can someone who has exercised the freedom to relocate for personal benefit turn around and criticise the movement of others? When you’ve built your life across borders for opportunity, condemning mobility starts to look less like principle and more like convenience.
You cannot claim to rebuild Manchester United while ignoring what makes Manchester United Manchester United.
This club was built by workers, sustained by communities, and elevated by players and fans from every corner of the world. The global fanbase isn’t a marketing slogan it’s the lifeblood of the institution. Alienating that identity is not leadership; it’s misjudgment.
And that’s the core issue here.
It’s the bitter, ignorant and quite simply the lack of awareness behind what he said. When you lead a club followed by hundreds of millions across continents, words matter. The role demands unity, not division. Focus, not distraction.
Manchester United doesn’t need political grandstanding. It needs humility, accountability, and a relentless focus on football.
Because Manchester United was global long before any owner arrived and it will remain global long after they’re gone.
Apologise and resign.
