All it takes is one nutter with a knife or a bottle to really turn things to shit re:pitch invasions.
By Laboured Go To Post"A strategy meeting early in January led by head of recruitment Steve Brown spelt out United’s approach. Long-term targets were discussed without any decisions being taken, a consistent theme of recent years.Paralysis by analysis is definitely a thing, but it's even more infuriating when you know that United can move for a target quite quickly when they need to. Unfortunately that's usually in circumstances when we dithered on another player, missed out and desperately need to get someone on before the end of the transfer window.
It left Rangnick perplexed at the lack of conviction.
Rangnick asked internally why United had not planned for the expected departure of Nemanja Matic by signing a defensive midfielder ahead of time. He questioned why in summer 2020 some £90 million had been spent on Amad, Facundo Pellistri and Donny van de Beek rather than a guaranteed first-team starter. He wondered why various players had been given lucrative contracts and was told the deals were reward for playing well.
Fletcher referred to “upstairs” and ultimately, it was a strategy implemented by Woodward and Judge, endorsed by Joel Glazer, to protect book value.
United’s stance did not shift even when Greenwood got arrested, an event totally out of Rangnick’s control which removed an important player.
Greenwood was the forward most closely aligned to Rangnick’s way of playing and the interim manager, as he has now stated publicly, felt a deftness in the market could have provided cover, namechecking Julian Alvarez, Luis Diaz and Dusan Vlahovic. All three moved clubs in the winter window. Rangnick would not have let Martial go had he known what was to come with Greenwood. He made a deadline-day plea to no avail.
Multiple sources say United’s transfer process lacks agility for having so many checks and balances, eroding a sense of clear direction."
Congrats, Milan boys. Great achievement.
He has done a bad job, but he is about fiftieth in line to blame for this season.
By Laboured Go To PostI think what Ralf has basically said publicly about the team and club are right, and I'm still excited about him being a consultant. But I'd be lying if I said he has done a good job on the playing side, although I think he was given a very shitty hand, contextually speaking.

By Dan Go To PostCity will lifetime ban those responsible.
There’s no room for this nonsense.
Quite a few of them apparently and really went out of their way to do it too.
the player association should do something, i cant imagine players feel very safe knowing any nutjob can just get on the pitch

I just couldn’t hold on to top 4 once I got in it for all of 1 week.
We go again next season.

Whoever went down this year, someone was going to be absolutely fucked. I’ll be amazed if the same isn’t true next year, assuming whoever goes down has been in the PL a few seasons.

This is despicable but I can't imagine any fans really wanting to win a trophy because of a points deduction from something like this.
By n8 dogg Go To PostKaitlin Olson erasureYeah but fuck bromley
A reminder that Blackpool were deducted points for a pitch invasion when they protested the Oyston's. Nothing will happen to the prem clubs, but rules need to be set out to avoid any violent occurences
I don't think anything needs to happen to Manchester City, or the other clubs where this happened - it's quite clearly an ongoing and escalating trend that needs to be dealt with severely.
Only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.

It’s like everyone forgot what happened to Seles. All these cunts will have keys and coins and whatever other innocuous items they can turn into weapons.
Say right now that teams will automatically get a 3-0 loss in the result of a pitch invasion and that’ll nip it in the bud.

Dan surprisingly well for someone who only seems to watch City and nothing else
Good to see the reports about Rangnick coming out now so the club can use them as an excuse to ignore everything he's said about the club.

let it be known that i didn't even participate for at least a couple of rounds.
if i had, i would've won it, imho.
By Righteous Furry Go To PostWould Tchouameni play with Fabinho/Casemiro or instead of them?In the case of Casemiro it would be a direct 1:1 replacement.
