Sanctimony...

....lots of it on our board.

Did we earn our money selling lemonade outside Old Trafford?

I know some articles are tongue-in-cheek, maybe mocking the plastic treble or the lack of a quadruple. We have won the genuine treble and we don’t want to be surpassed by someone winning the quadruple, so the logic behind those articles is fathomable.

Where do people think we got our money from? And what is different between making money drilling for oil or owning a chain of Supermarkets? Barring the logistics, obviously.

Do we think the men in suits at United, past and present, acquired their millions/billions running bric-a-brac sales? (Djemba-Djemba et al do not count as bric-a-brac).

Waffling on about City and how they only won stuff with money is embarrassing to read.

We’ve already smashed out the windows in our glass-house, if we’re going to have the Glazers doing the refitting, please stop throwing the fcking stones!

We borrowed from our dads rather than the banks. I still pay a mortgage as such I just don't pay interest.

Oh the perks of a sugar daddy or two 🤣

Cool story bro, where were those dedicated fans at the start of the ‘74 season, still sulking cos you got relegated? Where were they 20 years later when you got 29,000 against Wimbledon?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Does it matter to you? Let's just assume everybody in this thread conceded and said "yep, some people I've never met years ago were sulking and didn't turn up". Does that achieve anything? Is that some kind of 'win' that can be used as a stick to beat me with? I mean, you could but it would have the same impact as you standing in an empty room and just shouting because you can type whatever you like, doesn't impact me what so ever.

Some more people went to see your club play 50 years ago than the amount who went to see mine. Cool. Where to now? I have zero need or interest to defend the actions of people whose names I don't even know but I'm interested in why it's so important to other people.

Part of the same rat race?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ah, you are pointing out the lack of need for the superfluous word “same” in that sentence?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m pointing out that forms of ‘possibly corrupt’ business practices are hardly comparable to the practices that take place in the UAE. Unless I misunderstood you of course?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ah ok sorry, no, we are aligned.

You’re saying the UAE stuff is worse than the USA stuff?

I’m not postulating here, I’m ignorant to the different levels of playing field they operate on.

USA, Jack Walker and Russia stuff*

I forgot the context.
