The Court of Arbitrary Arbitration - Random Facts, Thoughts, Etc.

I think tag Hag would be happy to let him go, but it’s increasingly obvious that literally no one wants him. It’s Ronaldo’s responsibility to get on board or not.

 

Fair point, but if he's not doing that, then ten Hag has to ship him or bench him until he does.

Last and only functional midfield we had post-Fergie - some issues with the pieces but worked well together, mainly due to Ander glue. Only had it for a few months at start of Ole reign (Dec to Apr iirc) - as Mou had a downer on Herrera prior and Herrera injured May then left.

Prior to that we had things like Fellaini as CM and post this the likes of Fred / McT.

I always felt pogba should be the more advanced midfielder if u play a 3

Fernandes hit the ground running but made pogba have more defensive responsibilities

a player like Thiago instead of Bruno would’ve had more balance and been better for pogba

 

Sometimes I dream about how things would have been if we had Herrera and/or Bruno under SAF.

 

We were never a team that had stacked midfields. Bar Scholes and Keane we always struggled for continuity in midfield. It is like a plague.

 

So they’re trying to empty OT for the Liverpool match. Let’s see if it happens.

I did see a few TeamViewer kits in the crowds at the last march.

 

this guy... have a hard time taking anything he says seriously.

 

Any particular reason?

 

he tried to buy United in the late 80s, then ended up buying Carlisle United and it was a circus that ended with the club in administration.

 

He was also a member of the board for a time and was right about United's potential profit growth at a time when not many saw it that way. Michael Knighton might be shooting for the moon, but at least someone is. The only way this hostile bid works is if Sir Jim Ratcliffe gets on board. He has the money to make it happen. If enough fans put pressure on the Glazers through boycotts, they might consider selling to him.

 

Because fan pressure has been shite.

Where are the empty stadiums? Where are the zero sales on merch?

Fans talk a lot but are short on action. The only way the Glazers listen is if it hurts the bottom line - and IIRC, OT is still selling out every time, people are still buying kits, watching the games, etc.

 

There was the time a Liverpool game was postponed after the ESL debacle. I wouldn't rule it out. If Ratcliffe is willing to make the investment, like he showed with Chelsea, a deal might be had.

 

And that was because people stormed the facility, not because nobody showed up or bought tickets.

 

I don’t recall but I’m certain there were people raiding OT in kits less than 10 years old. Just sayin’.

 

I won’t have another bad word said about @MelissaReddy_

Here she is calling our owners parasites, which they most definitely are, on the biggest sports channel in the UK 👊

The game is up #GlazersOut

Sounds like our game with Leeds Sunday to be postponed... brutal

 

This man is Louis Rocca, a name not massively familiar with a lot of Manchester United fans.

Louis is one of the very most important figures in our clubs history - if you love our club you should learn to love him.

Take a few minutes out of your week and read up on him 👍 pic.twitter.com/RHXC3I5qWV
