Froggy Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 1 minute ago, MagMal said: I think this is a bit of a light bulb moment for me and Man utd, for years we have laughed at them complaining about the Glazers after they spend 100's of millions each year, but I think this hammers home the culture they have created. Club spends. Glazers do not. But not the thread for it. I've never liked Antony. Seems like a little ballbag as well. Wouldn't surprise me if it was true.

He didn’t personally - it was the club’s money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I can't stand Man United and their stereotypical fans, but impressed that they've flexed some fan power and forced the club to eat shit and do the right thing against their clear intentions.

It's club image. MP's, domestic violence charities etc. will speak out against the club and harm our image and in turn reduce our value/revenue. Football fans are fickle. I include myself in that. I'd be uneasy at Greenwood coming back and be strongly against it but chances are in two years time everyone would have pretended like it never happened and moved on.

Shak Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I just can't believe how badly a company the size of Manchester United could handle this. They've managed to both make themselves look like complete cunts and also lose their talented player. Avoiding one of those things should have been extremely manageable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James O'Brien is a hypocritical cretin. Let me be clear in saying it's absolute disgusting and abhorrent what Greenwood did and he deserves a severe punishment. However, quite frequently O'Brien wants to take the liberal view of rehabilitation, second chances, developing as a person, learning from lessons and ensuring work for all. Then, when faced with an argument of "so you want him to stop work completely?", He interjects, dismisses and changes the argument to nonsensical, irrelevant sub arguments of "what if he's 30?" Again - all for the punishment that comes Greenwood's way. Those audios and pictures are vile and no-one is defending him. But O'Brien is a hypocrite of the highest order.

Smal Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) I would generally just advise avoiding LBC at all costs. They deliberately get the worst opinions to call in, O'Brien gets to pretend he's outraged and then "owns" them to drive engagement. One of the most cynical and damaging media formats going in a competitive field. Edited August 19, 2023 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most cynical and damaging media formats going in a competitive field. His interview technique and the way he phrases questions, positions arguments, interjects, dismisses points and shifts the argument from macro to minor to suit himself is straight out the Piers Morgan, Jeremy Kyle, Simon Jordan textbook.

Sad but the reality is if he scored a last minute winner at Spurs today fans would sing "he shags who he wants". Tongue in cheek, jokingly, perhaps, but it'd cause a lot for offence and be really to the clubs detriment. ManUre took the right stance on Ronaldo - no one except Shearer is bigger than Man United. Get shot of him and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
