Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

TBF, we had like a decade of price freezes under the glazers.

And eeven if they stilll did increase the ticket prices, I think it would be bettre optics, at least, if they had (1) discussed it with the fan groups and (2) show how theey had actioned several other avenues of revneue generation (and cost cutting) before announcing an unpopular price increasee to net them 1.5million over the next 7 months. (about 0.25% of revenue)

are they any different from what Sky is currently offering. When have you seen actual analysis and not just “bantz”. And those comments become tomorrow’s click bait so it brings in advertising revenue. Neville, Carragher, Keane are all guilty of it.

My feeling would be Sky's coverage is surface level and pub talk, where as TUS and the like peddle far more in stoking hatred. Hatred vs players, vs management, vs people who disagree with their narrative about them.

Was watching it too it's probably the best interview he has given to date.

I think the comparison with ETH is hard to make. They were brought in for two very different reasons. Eth followed Mr nice guy ole that the players were supposedly walking all over and his main task was to weed out the Rotten apples and get rid of them. I think by and large he has been very successful with that. Maybe the issue is he found it hard to separate that side of it and having a connection with his team.

Eth was very successful in Holland and will probably be successful again elsewhere he just didn't seem to click with united.

The more we see RA setting up the team with proper tactics and players feeding off that maybe the main issue with ETH was he didn't have a plan outside of getting rid of the rotten apples.

He should do one with Gary Cotterill and just speak Portuguese.

I don't think it was by choice tho it was down to finance. No one would take the last few because of the money envolved.

Maybe the mistake eth made was he went into the job with a mind of needing to clear out players instead of judging and seing what he can work with. Maybe it was designed to fail from the start. I was a huge eth fan but I can admit I was probably blinded by alot of what went before him.

Apparently Shaw injured again.

That has to be the end for him, at least in terms of united planning on him being at all usable. Have to build a squad which doesn't need to to be even a backup.

Was looking forward to seeing him lcb against arsenal to be honest. Now both him and martinez out.

Mazraoui, de ligt and Maguire?

Evans

Statement from Shaw. Feel bad for him tbh. He clearly wants to play and his body isn’t letting him.

Yeah the word is “a few weeks” but honestly who knows what will happen with him next.
