Loved the bit re where Dan Ashworth wanted Southgate to become the Utd manager. Sometimes your wishes don’t come true. 😉
Back a few pages, post 70,559. Feel free to carry it on, who doesn't love a chuckle about Man Utd messing things up? (apart from Man Utd fans of course 🤭)
 
Yeah, lots of people have kicked out in the heat of the moment. I remember Maguire kicking someone towards the ad boards, but he doesn't get labelled. Eden Hazard kicked a ball boy but he didn't seem to get labelled a dirty player either. You've just got a vendetta against Son which is frankly a bit weird. He's no better or worse than any other top player.
Multi millionaire now, lucky sod. Wish Hazard kicked me if that was the karma he got.
 
You heard of AU vodka? That's his 🤣
I googled it and I'd say this was the more telling part:

Eleven years later, Mr Morgan has had quite the turnaround from his days as a viral meme.

He is the son of Swansea’s director, millionaire businessman Martin Morgan, and set up the Au Vodka company with his mate Jackson Quinn.

Yeah that was going to be my caveat, he's now even more of a millionaire.

I couldn’t believe this when I read it.

It’s come out today he was championing Southgate or Eddie Howe ??? Professional differences so the boss let him go.
 
Sounds perfectly reasonably to sack him based on that alone.

I'm reading that it was all linked to a terrible summer:

Extended ETH by a year when he was on his last legs
Spent 200m plus and not one signing has been a success yet
Club finance in a mess and now they lack the funds to buy themselves out of it due to PSR

I genuinely thought that Ineos would bring stability, as of yet that's not showing through but these things do take time I suppose!

If you aren’t going to let the DoF make the choices then there is no point having him

Who is making the decisions on which manager

Thought that was the whole point of getting in someone like Ashworth

What does Wilcox and Berrrada do ?
 
Son had the Red Card rescinded!
Pickford got nothing because VAR and the Ref didn’t see it as a foul

Watch it on youtube, even LPool players didn’t react.

Yes Pickford caught him, but he was a goalkeeper going out to close down the ball and caught VVD, he was slightly late, there’s no intention to foul or injure VVD.
Nothing was done because it was given as offside if I remember correctly.

I'm curious why you thought this?
The cycling team they took over in rude health (sky) has gradually gone downhill to the point that it's barely midtable.
I'm not aware that any of their other sportswashing endeavours have been particularly successful.
Not sure I'd get my hopes up tbh.
