On the same subject but a slightly different tack, I hear an awful lot of premier league, watch football on tv, fans banging on about class.  Oh how classless Man City are.  Oh no, how classless Man United are.  Oh but we're Liverpool we've got tradition and class, oh but we're Chelsea we're the really classy team, yes but we've got a professor type as our manager and less debt because we don't sodding spend all the shitting time so we're really classy.

All of you fuck off.  Thats a word I hate almost as much as hearing about fairy tales (As Ive said endlessly when anyone is being paid upward of the debt of a small eastern european despots national debt per fucking week well you can stick fairytales up your fudge tunnel right off).

How any of the big businesses built on oil exploitation or hedge funds, or whatever other gangsterism has resulted in you having all the bloody money whilst people are relying on foodbanks can fool the gullible consumers of their product that they do it more classily than the same people half a mile down the street is beyond any sense of reality.

Rant over.

I wasn't doubting that a change was needed, just the manner in which the whole thing was handled was shambolic and makes a mockery of the suggestion (which they bang on about) that Man Utd are a club that does things 'the right way', have traditions etc etc!

The Chief Exec Ed Woodward is a joke, and really he should resign.

I want to print this off and frame it. ❤️

Matthew Syed (who I love, usually) wrote a piece today about how appointing Mourinho would bring Utd into disrepute etc. It nearly made me vomit.

That Man U apparently paid Mourinho £4m to wait until van Gaal got the boot and didn't take another job...despite him having a nice pay-off from Chelsea.

Nice work if you can get it !!

Perhaps you were right http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36382637

For completeness the link regarding what the rights relate to is at https://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmcase/Results/4/EU004365755

Modern football eh, I wonder whether we still own the image rights for Paul Hart or Maurice Malpas, Power could be sitting on a gold mine!

Probably about the same time as it's decided that UK plc can no longer sustain its debt of £ 4.8 trillion that Mr Osborne has added £555 billion to since 2010

Hardly irrelevant, since it's an answer to Horlock's question, based on macro economics, or maybe you don't think football is governed by such rules.

Presumably the fact that some Tory MP's are calling for a change of leadership and a general election, suggests that even they're a little concerned about where the country is heading?

Im not sure football is run by any economic rules, well very few that seem to be enforced properly
