Of course it is. Most at any level is out of control of the fans, particularly nowadays.

United fans have put in a lot of hard graft though and really tried to give youngsters a chance.

By your parameters, surely the most important figures in Uniteds' history were Louis Rocca and Louis Edwards.

Great news though the article failed to mention that the Sheikh owns all the land around the Etihad.

Yes because making millions in pounds in profit of the club assisted it just as much as the billions your owner spent on yours....

In fairness its not the post on here.... we just had a Leeds fan claiming the problem with United fans is they believe they are superior... I assume the logical flaw is pretty obvious to most people anyway....

If you mean do it as in put it through a humiliating ordeal where I take it forcefully against its will with a complete disregard for it as you did a few posts ago then generally no....

I don't.

TBH as I'm talking to one of the most biased members on the forum... excuse me if I don't waste too much time on you.

Biased in what way?

TBH we usually argue politics but I'm not a massive fan of his footballing views either....

"excuse me if I don't waste too much time on you."

So are you denying you think you're superior, yes way?

I haven't read the comments, so apologies if someone's said this before.

The Etihad Campus is yet another pandering to their owners ego, and it does no kid from Manchester, Bolton, Burnley, Blackburn, Warrington, Leeds, Timbuktu (or wherever else they send their 40 grand a year scouts watching under 7's games) any favours sending them there.

No kid from the Etihad Campus ego project will ever hit the first team, their ego's won't allow that either, it'll always be a bought in megastar showing that they're the richest, best, whatever.

Better for a kid from Wynthenshawe like Danny, Warrington like Lingard or Salford, Oldham, Bury Gorton etc like the class of 92' to come to United. If you're good enough you'll make it here. If you're good enough and you go to the other lot you'll end up on loan, forget any pipe dream you've got of playing for the Abu Dhabi Globetrotters.

There are probably plenty of attractive, intelligent and charismatic people I wouldn't waste too much time on either...

Although me as an individual claiming to be superior to him as an individual doesn't quite have the same massive hole in its logic as dismissing a huge group of supporters as thinking they are superior...

The irony being these Man United fans aren't great like Cal and others who don't act superior....

He may as well have said that non Man United fans such as himself are brilliant and incredible because they don't think themselves brilliant and incredible like the Man United fans do...

I can let a lot go but such blatant stupidity.... if it was Barry or another joker then you'd know he wasn't quite serious but Cal probably still can't quite see the flaw in his logic...

oh dear post nearly. I guess you really ought to read the original post b4 you spout such total bull dust. firstly it is only your opinion on the outcome of pupils at the Etihad campus as you can't possibly know the future. secondly you must be questioning the likes of rvp , phil Neville etc who send their own kids there. But hey what do they know about football??? The class of 92 were unique. Football , finance & the pressure of winning has moved on so much that the likelihood of that happening again being with your lot or city or anyone else in the top 6 for that measure is remote.

As Melton pointed out man united probably wouldn't exist were it not for the generosity of Manchester City.

The lads on 606 so passionate about Man U, you see it every single game.

On the match thread.

I'm afraid he's right, it's quite obviously a failure. Despite being open for 2 years it hasn't produced a single World Cup winner yet.

It does them no favours sending them there.

Apart from private education and teaching them about life skills and handling money and savings
