Stop showing up to games and stop buying shirts with mediocre players names on. It's not rocket science !! I can see another 7-0 loss coming to Liverpool or possibly more.
Cos you are one of the biggest club in the world. Any ticket given up someone else will buy it as a Liverpool fan it's sad to see our rivals getting conned like the cow boys era for Liverpool
Van Nistleroy should have been given till the end of the year. Ratcliffe is the biggest drain since the Glazer's. Amorim rather be sacked good no plan B.
Being a Liverpool fan it hurts me to see the Glaziers and Ratcliffe are doing to Man Utd. We don't need these charlatans taking over "our" football clubs! Money is all they care about.😢.
If every time you heard pundit or read a newspaper you saw that you were getting to be sold would your heart be in playing ? a lot have these players have lost heart you can see by the body language and the disputes between them on the field .They have no confidence in the system they are being forced to play
@@michaelevans7097 Exact, you dont hire a coach to change to a system that the players dont fit. A coach adapts to the players and the club. This players are not that bad but they look bad by this system. Its a pity EtH with Ruud did not get the time. They were unlucky in a couple of games and then the pressure started, Good management backs and keep cool.what ever pressure from the outside is coming.
We can all see the players are not trying. Put another way, they're effectively trying to lose. We have to ask why. I'm not making accusations here, but look at the way Martinez watched the ball go in against Nottingham Forest. Inexplicable. Onana has conceded from corners when it was harder to concede than to save the ball. Players make wildly inaccurate passes in the final third, breaking attacks down, and recently, more than one has hit the ball as far over the crossbar as they possibly could. You have to wonder, is somebody telling them to throw games? If so, why? If Ratcliffe and Glazer wanted Manchester United to be part of some European Superleague, wouldn't it be an easier extraction if the club was detached from the Premier League? That would be the incentive to throw games - to be relegated. Again, I'm not saying any of this is fact, because I don't know. But if a Superleague was in the pipeline, they'd want to charge higher ticket prices to see United v Juventus for instance, than United v Newcastle. So the recent rises would be them getting their ducks in a row. Just theories, but you have to wonder exactly why he bought over a quarter of the club, only to make ridiculous and nonsensical decisions constantly. It's one to think about.
Interesting thoughts and observations. I always like hearing a different perspective. On the ticket prices the big alarm bell for me is that in the USA ticket prices are much much higher than what we pay in the UK. And Americans now own more premier league clubs than anyone else. 11 of the 20 clubs are now controlled or part owned by Americans. That’s why I’m constantly talking about these subjects. JG
Idiotic take on Rashford - the biggest waster at the club and a spineless charlatan. Suggesting he’d solve the attitude and goals problem when he’s scored 7 goals in over a season and strolls around the pitch blaming everyone else for his appalling decision-making is hilarious.
lol he lost me there too … Also with the Qatar thing . I don’t get these fans thinking someone from Qatar means state ownership . That’s an ignorant statement. I guess we’re going to the championship then
The Rashford point is that Ruud was working hard to get him back on track. Ruben has just given up on him. And Ratcliffe wants him off the payroll. But the reality is that I can’t see anyone going to take such an expensive luxury off our hands.
If I was Amorim I would go for a total surprise against Liverpool at Anfield I would switch to A system with 2 wingers. Garnacho on the left Amad on the right. Back four, yes four. Mazraoui on the right. DeLigt and Maguire center, Martinez on the left. Midfield Bruno, Mainoo, and Ugarte midfield. Ugarte as the most defensive of the 3, Mainoo as middle man, Bruno like a 10. Hjoulund. up top. And I would instruct our players to attack over the wings.
INEOS: ''We want best in class''. What a joke! I never wanted INEOS in the first place. My only focus at the time, was to get the Glazers out. FULL SALE ONLY! Not 25 or 28 percent or whatever it is. The year so far under INEOS so called leadership has been absolutely shocking. It is well needed to trim the wage bill, but for god sake. Do it the right way.... Not by sacking staff at United who have been there for long time and have low wage.(People who actually care about the club) Not by removing the charity fund (40k/year?) SERIOUSLY. INEOS do your job and get the overpaid players that don't give a shit OUT from the club. Some of them are even sabotaging. You can see it clearly. The club is also in MASSIVE debt and the stadium is falling apart. INEOS knew about all this before buying a stake in Manchester United. What is even gonna happen to Old Trafford? Where is the communication? Also i really feel bad for Rúben Amorim. He really has been thrown under the bus. I really hope Man United fans don't turn on this manager, we all know that the manager is not the problem. Back this manager. I don't know what is next for Manchester United in 2025, but it's not looking good. Anyway. Happy New Year to all Manchester United fans.
Most fans are with him. United fans want Qatar to buy United at lesser price. But United was owned by greedy owner that doent know football. Owner who sold CR7. Owner who sold Lukaku. For pure profit.
Proper supporter this guy real old school. Only recently been watching your vids and enjoy them a lot more than other click bait fan channels. Keep it up pal.👍
Onana finished casemiro finished Rashford finished anyway Maguire finished mount finished Eriksen finished Antony finished Bruno captain finished ship em out get rid of them
I found this monologue quite moving actually. Had a sudden pang of the joy of being squashed through the turnstiles at Easter Road by my grandad and his brothers. Midweek matches only ( no pub after). Jimmy reminding the little gang he stood with that there was a lassie with him, it tempered the language for a bit. Freezing. Bovril at half time. Grotty old terraces. It was the most “ different” place I’d ever been and nothing like watching a match on the telly, although life was kind of in black and white back then. In other words it reminded me of just how working class our game was, how rooted in history. Hibs was started by a priest in St Pats church to give the Irish immigrant lads in the Cowgate something to own. My “ English” team was United due to our parish priest hailing from Gorton and steeping us in United glory. We were devastated when they went down!
Mary everything you’ve so beautifully described is exactly why football clubs belong to the fans. And our history and legacy should be protected. It’s a precious part of our lives that will never be the same when it’s purely run as a business. I understand why so many fans are now going to watch lower league matches to get a taste of what football used to be like. All the best. JG
Happy new year to you Rick. It’s the first time in my life I’ve not been optimistic about United’s future at the start of a new year. But I live in hope. JG
Mate Don't want to make your Day any Worse but Big Jim is Manchester's version of Mike Ashley so Expect Many more and much Darker Days ahead and maybe a couple of Relegations
I’m prepared for the worst and not blind to the fact this could happen. But I live in hope that things will improve. Though at this point I don’t know how. JG
It needs to be discussed that Ratcliffe net worth has dropped by 5 billion this year alone. Ineos Group Holdings are massively in the red, he ain't buying out the Glazers any time soon.
Ratcliffe has the wealth and net worth varies depending on who’s measuring and how. But now Ratcliffe is making such a mess I’m not so confident a full sale is going to fix things.
Happy New Year to all its going to be a tough new year for the club and us fans,like you im devastated at the state of things but we must get behind Rubin and allow him time to get players out and in and to play the new system with belief and confidence!This day has been coming for a long time as our club has been used as a cash cow and abused by its idiotic owners. Its embarrassing and i really feel for Rubin as hes become a scapegoat,its going to be tough but we can and will prevail!GGMU
The EPL way of playing football is a totally different style when compared to other European style. When Rud was briefly in charge the original style of play was visible. When Amorim or Haag try to change the system the team will never succeed .
You speak as if rashord is some sort of saviour his done absolutely nothing for 2years he doesn't track back doesn't tackle and his on huge money I do however agree with the rest.
Amorim’s dilemma is that he is on a hiding to nothing. This team is capable of winning games but so are Southampton. This squad cannot be turned into a top 6 club no matter what tactics Amorim adopts but he is going to be blamed by many. Having said that he must have known what he was coming to so he cannot complain about what he has got. United’s problems are much worse than just the manager and seem to be years away from being sorted out.
Ratcliffe is not a football man, he's a money man. We are not football clubs anymore we are businesses that are fronted by a football team. Criticising other clubs (who are just the same) is pointless, overseas owners are overseas owners. The way we elevate foreign players and critique English players is media fed, and works. Hearing Neville constantly berating the Arab owners of CITY them taking a nice pay packet from the Qatar World Cup, sums it up.Football being a working class fans game sadly has gone and isn't coming back. A super league of Europes finest ( apparently) is inevitable because that's where the money is, on a 40" screen, and a monthly bank transfer.
@@darg765yet they've been able to spend a fortune badly it seems, Newcastle on the other hand had to sell to avoid punishment. The rules used to protect the alleged super six are garbage as proved by City in court, your bad time will pass maybe quicker without the new overlord. 👍
Ashley looked after himself but he served up the club debt free as far as I understand. And he even dipped into his own pocket to pay off debts. He is also a Spurs fan and Newcastle was a business deal for him. I don’t think he’s quite the monster Newcastle fans always paint him out to be. Until he sold your soul to the Saudis. The irony is Newcastle fans seem to love being state owned. And that’s down to Ashley
GLAZER AND RADCLIFFE ARE PLEADING POVERTY AND RIPPING THE HEART OUT OF PEOPLE SACKING WORKING PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE CLUB, CANCEL THE CONTRACTS OF PLAYERS 350K A WEEK FOR CASILOW, AND MGLSUG 190K WHO GIVE HIS HEAR AND SOUL BUT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. AND GET A DECENT STRUCTURE AT THE CLUB.
In that case you might as well throw away all the trophies and medals won since the late 1980s then before the corps took over. But I have the feeling the vast majority of utd fans loved most of the 30 yrs that followed.
@@languageoffootball united had glory periods before the 80s also. But letting corporations control anything, and they literally control everything - elected officials, your career, your medicine, sports - is a recipe for disaster. These people can not be trusted.
No, he's asset stripping united ..we will go down and put into administration, we'll done Ratboy you mug... championship here we come ..united forever...
well a lot of words spoken very well ,but do not give up so easy ,so we are having a bad time and some players are clearly not good enough ,but give amorim time and a few bob and he will get us back among the elite
On arrival offshore Jim’s remit was announced as being in charge of the football side so why is he deciding on job losses/cutbacks & what have these to do with the football side? He then declares that keeping ETH wasn’t his decision but it’s been widely reported that it was his insistence that Amorim move mid season? He’s just an agent for the Glaziers to increase the clubs value🤡
You failed to mention that shaik would have bought our debt and paid it all off. We would have another 2 billion pounds to build a new stadium and new investment for our club.
It didn’t take any investigation into Ratcliffe to realise that he’s a ruthless successful businessman,but all his sporting ventures have resulted in failure or mediocrity at best,that he’s not and never has been a Lifelong United supporter,he’s Chelsea or wherever he sees an opportunity for another Vanity project,he is the biggest mistake since the Glazers took over,and it takes a SPECIAL kind of w⚓️ to make the Glazers look OK.Brailsford his little playground bully stooge,Ike some sycophantic lap dog is also a fool just a lucky fool,he got very lucky that he happened to be involved in British Cycling right at the time that a group of generationally talented British Cyclists came to their peak,ALL of United’s owners have absolutely no idea what Supporting a football team is about,we Worship United,they worship only Money,if it gets them out I’d take a double relegation.
@Honestly don’t know but I’ll guarantee it’s not because he loves United,I have worshipped United from a small boy,he Tried to buy Chelsea where he’s had a season ticket for years,he’s invested in Nice,the Ex Sky Cycling team,McLaren Mercedes,and his own Sailing team my best guess would be some kind of sports washing for his Chemical Business or just Vanity Projects for his Ego,if he REALLY wanted success at United like the Fans do he’d invest all his time and money into it.incidentally Sky Cycling was incredibly successful then Jim took over,McLaren Mercedes have really slumped and Nice hover in mediocrity.
@@robertmansell3667 but sports washing usually means lavish spending that in turn brings about silverware that somehow reflects some glory on the benefactor. This is sure a funny way to launder your reputation.
@he has spent vast amounts on his other projects particularly the cycling and sailing unfortunately the results gods didn’t smile too favourably on him,he clearly didn’t understand the intricacies of PSR because he thought he could free transfer players from Nice to United when even your average fan knows that’s not allowed,he also had the grand plans for a new Stadium until he realised there would no financial assistance from government or local authorities,as I said I honestly don’t know,but what I do know is that 12 months into his project he’s arguably taken us backwards and certainly not shown any clear signs of competence or good intentions,especially for the fans and Staff.
@@robertmansell3667 do we know or has anybody said what the equity he bought 12 months ago is worth now? You’d think it’d have shrunk in value or at least not improved to any material extent.
Sir Jim won't fix it, he's earning money taking the heat off the Glazers. The Glazers will never give up their cash cow, not until the fans and sponsors boycott them.
That’s why football needs government intervention and the enforcement of a fan ownership model like we see in Germany. Until that happens owners can always do exactly what they want. JG
The team was winning untill amorin came in and costing the team loosing 4straight games with his useless 343 system ..n playing players in different position tgats tge cause of loosing games here sack amorim asap
Like Erik before him I guess he thinks it’s worth the risk because he believes he can fix things and even if he fails he’s financially made for life. JG
onana was dog sheeite all last year, what are you talking about. amorins style has exposed how bad the players are. the players are suffering because they are having to cover for onana! united are looking for another keeper to replace onana lol.. get a clue mate
@@ManUtdTheReligion oh stop with those moronic stats. if his stats were that good last year we would have finished higher than we did. I go by league position not back street bollox.
@@rickrennyoneill onana had a few games were shots were fired directly at him, or he made easy saves look hard. if united believed in him them they wouldn't be looking for his replacement would they?
I sincerely appreciate that name dropping adds to your football credentials. Unfortunately, repeatedly misprouncing Amorim's name, and then talking about somewhere called Abu Dabu, suggests there are some names you youself do not take seriously. How can not taking others names seriously really lend support to any serious argument?
Personally I am more concerned by how people spell incorrectly and poor English than pronunciation which varies. Abu Dhabi was a slip of the tongue - you got me. But try speaking for 10 minutes in one take without pronouncing any words inconsistently. If I’d checked it more closely and spotted my mistake I’d have done a re take. But it was New Year’s Eve and I wanted to go home. In any case, I guarantee that no one is ever flawless. You just have to watch any sports or news programme to know that. Happy new year and thanks for watching. I always take comments on board and try to do better. All the best. John Gubba
United will always attract the wrong type of owners no one with the wealth to buy the club is doing it for the right reasons. I don’t want state ownership but realistically is it worse than a Musk or Offshore Jim? My release from the last dozen years has been Warrington Wolves who are similar to the United I stated to love in the early 80s not regular trophy collectors but they have a soul and connection with their fans and community. Love United and cmon the Wire
Please explain to me what United fans saw in Ratcliffe's track record that gave them the idea that he knows anything about footballl? It was very clear when a cycling guru was brough into the club that Ratcliffe is a clown
He has the self made wealth that gives us the expectation that he is qualified to do the job. And he sold his Manchester roots and his proclaimed love for the club as being genuine. But like a politician who lies to get into power, sadly we’re now seeing things are not what we were promised. JG
@ Good thing the Glaziers are shrewd business men. They know the value of the club they bought and will not tolerate Ratcliffe destroying the value of the club. Ratcliffe will soon be forced to sell his stake in the club
@@ManUtdTheReligion John, these billionaires with the knighthoods got where they got by screwing over and shitting on the powerless at very little risk to their own pad. Glazers don't look so bad now, do they? The debt that gets carried on about - all big corporations run in debt as it's less risk to borrow and use somebody else's money. United stopped being a football club and became a corporation once Fergy screwed over Magnier and let the Glazers in. Rot is 20+ years in the making.
The clue is SIR. He serves the global parasite class not Manchester history and stature in the game. The game, like the rest of the uk is not a soulless corporate toy. Fans have the power. Don’t show up for first 15 mins of a live game. Easy
Against state owned clubs ( bet that concern only started when citeh were taken over ) more than happy to see yanks owning clubs ( 9 in the EPL? ) who are very soon going to want to take English Premier league fixtures stateside so "loyal American supporters" can see their soccer stars live..how do you fancy flying to LA for an away fixture against Chelsea?
I'm not a red and I had some sympathy and understanding there until you said you hope City are kicked out of the league, and you say you don't want fans to suffer? Hypocritical mate. If the Glazers would've sold to the Qataris (which is now obvious to everyone that they were never gonna do) and Utd would've had a rebuild on the scale City had with all the success that came with it, there's not a single Utd fan that would've been against it and that includes you.
I publicly campaigned against Qatar from day one. And I know many fans who were ready to walk away if Qatar bought United. I think old school City fans would rather not be owned by the Arabs. When I was a kid City had great players. Lee. Bell. Summerbee. You could be great again without being UAE owned. 2 of my grandparents were City fans. If they were still alive I’d like to think they would see it my way.
Just stop it please you old Manchester fans wanted coz he from Manchester he knows club he don’t fake rich man doesn’t know what he’s doing but you wanted so accepted deal with it I didn’t want him for are club I don’t he from Manchester he fake he trying buy Barcelona and Chelsea he not true supporter this is just a project for him because he’s getting old something to have before he dead he is old tell you have Arab money u would make this video would be winning game the debt payed off and no charity would’ve been cancelled so as Manchester United fan my self we deal with it I didn’t wanted fake rich at club so
Money spent on players has either been paid by revenue generated by the football club or added to the debt. The reason we can’t spend on the players the new coach wants is that the money has run out. That’s down to the glazers and made worse since Ineos took charge.
Please get Jim 🐀 and the glazers out of this club please…
fans have to turn off the money tap. that's all the jew grazers understand.
@@brianjacob8728 And they’re going through it again. They need to sign real players or nothing
Stop showing up to games and stop buying shirts with mediocre players names on. It's not rocket science !! I can see another 7-0 loss coming to Liverpool or possibly more.
I totally agree with you mates 😮
That plays into Ratcliffe’s plans he wants fewer season ticket holders and more day trippers who spend more on souvenirs
Anfield have installed a Cricket scoreboard.
@@bobbates797that’s the way the Glazers do it. Lose season ticket holders for tourist’s package deals.

The Qatar bid was clearly state backed. The sheikh himself is worth less than 2B. Ratcliffe is more than 10 times richer

United’s problems are much worse than just the manager and seem to be years away from being sorted out.
That makes finishing third in Erik’s first season look remarkable.
Well done Tony, Yourself and Andy Mitten leading the way as always.
Thanks. Tony was my uncle. But I know what you mean. HNY to you. John Gubba
Ratcliffe is not a football man, he's a money man. We are not football clubs anymore we are businesses that are fronted by a football team. Criticising other clubs (who are just the same) is pointless, overseas owners are overseas owners. The way we elevate foreign players and critique English players is media fed, and works. Hearing Neville constantly berating the Arab owners of CITY them taking a nice pay packet from the Qatar World Cup, sums it up.Football being a working class fans game sadly has gone and isn't coming back. A super league of Europes finest ( apparently) is inevitable because that's where the money is, on a 40" screen, and a monthly bank transfer.
Club legend wayne rooney is now available, brilliant football manager 👍
Very funny. Wayne is a lovely man. And he was a great footballer. But he’s not even a good pundit.
this could have been stated 10 years ago.
Your the one who wanted him the most
Now you know how we (NUFC fans) felt when our club was being ruined and pillaged by Mike Ashley.
There's a difference. Cashley didn't spend so left the club debt free and within FFP limits to buy Bruno G Botman isak. United has a 800m hole.
@@darg765yet they've been able to spend a fortune badly it seems, Newcastle on the other hand had to sell to avoid punishment. The rules used to protect the alleged super six are garbage as proved by City in court, your bad time will pass maybe quicker without the new overlord. 👍
Ashley looked after himself but he served up the club debt free as far as I understand. And he even dipped into his own pocket to pay off debts. He is also a Spurs fan and Newcastle was a business deal for him. I don’t think he’s quite the monster Newcastle fans always paint him out to be. Until he sold your soul to the Saudis. The irony is Newcastle fans seem to love being state owned. And that’s down to Ashley
I’m impressed with how Newcastle have stuck to the rules. Hopefully city will pay for not doing so.
@@ManUtdTheReligionwhen did they get found guilty?
GLAZER AND RADCLIFFE ARE PLEADING POVERTY AND RIPPING THE HEART OUT OF PEOPLE SACKING WORKING PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE CLUB, CANCEL THE CONTRACTS OF PLAYERS 350K A WEEK FOR CASILOW, AND MGLSUG 190K WHO GIVE HIS HEAR AND SOUL BUT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. AND GET A DECENT STRUCTURE AT THE CLUB.
Brilliant! 🎯
Welcome to the world of the normal football fan. No other fan has any sympathy 😂
fan ownership should be the model for all pro teams in all sports.
100%
In that case you might as well throw away all the trophies and medals won since the late 1980s then before the corps took over. But I have the feeling the vast majority of utd fans loved most of the 30 yrs that followed.
@@languageoffootball united had glory periods before the 80s also. But letting corporations control anything, and they literally control everything - elected officials, your career, your medicine, sports - is a recipe for disaster. These people can not be trusted.
No, he's asset stripping united ..we will go down and put into administration, we'll done Ratboy you mug... championship here we come ..united forever...
What do you think his end game/motivation is? As explained this isn’t just a local businessman with a few million, he’s worth incredible fortunes.
Not only amorim also previous trainers all been hired to be sacked and the answer is not about pumping money into it
The penny pinching at the bottom of the ladder reminds me of David Cameron’s austerity con.
Look at the mess he caused at Ineos.
well a lot of words spoken very well ,but do not give up so easy ,so we are having a bad time and some players are clearly not good enough ,but give amorim time and a few bob and he will get us back among the elite
I really really hope so.
Radcliffe has bought a Ferrari but can't afford the petrol.
He can. But he chooses not to.
Never knew anthony hopkins was a man utd fan
On arrival offshore Jim’s remit was announced as being in charge of the football side so why is he deciding on job losses/cutbacks & what have these to do with the football side? He then declares that keeping ETH wasn’t his decision but it’s been widely reported that it was his insistence that Amorim move mid season? He’s just an agent for the Glaziers to increase the clubs value🤡
Ratcliffe is running the show. It has his fingerprints all over it.
Who is actually managing the team . Ratcliffe . Amorim is the bouncer …..
You'd think the way they going on that there preparing to go down to the championship with all these cut backs as well .
I love your analysis,very intelligent man
cheers Willy. Just an honest view.
You failed to mention that shaik would have bought our debt and paid it all off. We would have another 2 billion pounds to build a new stadium and new investment for our club.
It didn’t take any investigation into Ratcliffe to realise that he’s a ruthless successful businessman,but all his sporting ventures have resulted in failure or mediocrity at best,that he’s not and never has been a Lifelong United supporter,he’s Chelsea or wherever he sees an opportunity for another Vanity project,he is the biggest mistake since the Glazers took over,and it takes a SPECIAL kind of w⚓️ to make the Glazers look OK.Brailsford his little playground bully stooge,Ike some sycophantic lap dog is also a fool just a lucky fool,he got very lucky that he happened to be involved in British Cycling right at the time that a group of generationally talented British Cyclists came to their peak,ALL of United’s owners have absolutely no idea what Supporting a football team is about,we Worship United,they worship only Money,if it gets them out I’d take a double relegation.
What d’reckon his motivation is then?
@Honestly don’t know but I’ll guarantee it’s not because he loves United,I have worshipped United from a small boy,he Tried to buy Chelsea where he’s had a season ticket for years,he’s invested in Nice,the Ex Sky Cycling team,McLaren Mercedes,and his own Sailing team my best guess would be some kind of sports washing for his Chemical Business or just Vanity Projects for his Ego,if he REALLY wanted success at United like the Fans do he’d invest all his time and money into it.incidentally Sky Cycling was incredibly successful then Jim took over,McLaren Mercedes have really slumped and Nice hover in mediocrity.
@@robertmansell3667 but sports washing usually means lavish spending that in turn brings about silverware that somehow reflects some glory on the benefactor. This is sure a funny way to launder your reputation.
@he has spent vast amounts on his other projects particularly the cycling and sailing unfortunately the results gods didn’t smile too favourably on him,he clearly didn’t understand the intricacies of PSR because he thought he could free transfer players from Nice to United when even your average fan knows that’s not allowed,he also had the grand plans for a new Stadium until he realised there would no financial assistance from government or local authorities,as I said I honestly don’t know,but what I do know is that 12 months into his project he’s arguably taken us backwards and certainly not shown any clear signs of competence or good intentions,especially for the fans and Staff.
@@robertmansell3667 do we know or has anybody said what the equity he bought 12 months ago is worth now? You’d think it’d have shrunk in value or at least not improved to any material extent.
Sir Jim won't fix it, he's earning money taking the heat off the Glazers. The Glazers will never give up their cash cow, not until the fans and sponsors boycott them.
That’s why football needs government intervention and the enforcement of a fan ownership model like we see in Germany. Until that happens owners can always do exactly what they want. JG
The team was winning untill amorin came in and costing the team loosing 4straight games with his useless 343 system ..n playing players in different position tgats tge cause of loosing games here sack amorim asap
20 years going bad to worse. If Ruben thinks he is so smart why he didn't find out where he was going. He didn't care because of the money
He is smart. Ruben aim for money.
Like Erik before him I guess he thinks it’s worth the risk because he believes he can fix things and even if he fails he’s financially made for life. JG
I am so sad to see United is so bad .United deserve better.jim the Rat .he is a big Rat.get lost.
your manager knew what he was walking into, nothing to do with Ratcliffe
Both Jim & The Glazers has to go!!!
Sir Jim is acting like Mike Ashley
Winning the title in 2028? Haha
Now you know how the mike Ashley's of the world work
onana was dog sheeite all last year, what are you talking about. amorins style has exposed how bad the players are. the players are suffering because they are having to cover for onana! united are looking for another keeper to replace onana lol.. get a clue mate
After the draw at villa Onana had most clean sheets in the PL. it’s a fact. And last year he was statistically second best keeper in PL. google it.
@@ManUtdTheReligion oh stop with those moronic stats. if his stats were that good last year we would have finished higher than we did. I go by league position not back street bollox.
Onana had a good streak but recently he’s been awful. Far too inconsistent.
@@rickrennyoneill onana had a few games were shots were fired directly at him, or he made easy saves look hard. if united believed in him them they wouldn't be looking for his replacement would they?
When the defense it setup like ETH had it and now Rubin, any keeper will look bad.
Ratcliffe has done the same at Nice FC and the Cycling team Ineos Grenadiers. All medeocre outfits.
@ManUtdTheReligion is there a way I can contact you privately?
Jamie you can email me at john@vsitv.net or DM me on Twitter or Insta @johngubba as I don’t always spot emails from people not on my vip list. JG
John Gubba.....any relation to Tony Gubba ???
@@nicksvinylbutty5488 Tony was my uncle
@@nicksvinylbutty5488 let me know when you've privately messaged me so I can retrieve JG
I sincerely appreciate that name dropping adds to your football credentials. Unfortunately, repeatedly misprouncing Amorim's name, and then talking about somewhere called Abu Dabu, suggests there are some names you youself do not take seriously. How can not taking others names seriously really lend support to any serious argument?
Personally I am more concerned by how people spell incorrectly and poor English than pronunciation which varies. Abu Dhabi was a slip of the tongue - you got me. But try speaking for 10 minutes in one take without pronouncing any words inconsistently. If I’d checked it more closely and spotted my mistake I’d have done a re take. But it was New Year’s Eve and I wanted to go home. In any case, I guarantee that no one is ever flawless. You just have to watch any sports or news programme to know that. Happy new year and thanks for watching. I always take comments on board and try to do better. All the best. John Gubba
what does knighton think of jim mate
He’s absolutely disgusted that Jim let us down.
@ManUtdTheReligion he's a snake 🐍 rotten Ratcliffe
I was thinking the same thing. Where is Michael right now?
@@jamiesimms7084 I would love too see an interview of Knighton doing an interview and what he thinks of Jim now
@@gazelliott2414I’m hoping to film an interview with michael Knighton early in the new year.
United will always attract the wrong type of owners no one with the wealth to buy the club is doing it for the right reasons.
I don’t want state ownership but realistically is it worse than a Musk or Offshore Jim?
My release from the last dozen years has been Warrington Wolves who are similar to the United I stated to love in the early 80s not regular trophy collectors but they have a soul and connection with their fans and community.
Love United and cmon the Wire
Bom discurso até falar do Rud
Please explain to me what United fans saw in Ratcliffe's track record that gave them the idea that he knows anything about footballl? It was very clear when a cycling guru was brough into the club that Ratcliffe is a clown
He has the self made wealth that gives us the expectation that he is qualified to do the job. And he sold his Manchester roots and his proclaimed love for the club as being genuine. But like a politician who lies to get into power, sadly we’re now seeing things are not what we were promised. JG
@ Good thing the Glaziers are shrewd business men. They know the value of the club they bought and will not tolerate Ratcliffe destroying the value of the club. Ratcliffe will soon be forced to sell his stake in the club
@@ManUtdTheReligion John, these billionaires with the knighthoods got where they got by screwing over and shitting on the powerless at very little risk to their own pad. Glazers don't look so bad now, do they? The debt that gets carried on about - all big corporations run in debt as it's less risk to borrow and use somebody else's money. United stopped being a football club and became a corporation once Fergy screwed over Magnier and let the Glazers in. Rot is 20+ years in the making.
Ruben still making a hash of it
Ineos and company are top heavy. They are so bad for Man U. Many bad decisions. They should go before they destroy the club
He don’t have the chemistry ⚛️ at MU no luck 🍀 😮😢
The clue is SIR. He serves the global parasite class not Manchester history and stature in the game. The game, like the rest of the uk is not a soulless corporate toy. Fans have the power. Don’t show up for first 15 mins of a live game. Easy
Correct, just another elite imposter!!...
Where's Abu Dabu????
Abu Dhabi
Capital of the United Arab Emirates and home of Manchester City
Against state owned clubs ( bet that concern only started when citeh were taken over ) more than happy to see yanks owning clubs ( 9 in the EPL? ) who are very soon going to want to take English Premier league fixtures stateside so "loyal American supporters" can see their soccer stars live..how do you fancy flying to LA for an away fixture against Chelsea?
Karma 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mediocrity on and of the pitch...
I'm not a red and I had some sympathy and understanding there until you said you hope City are kicked out of the league, and you say you don't want fans to suffer? Hypocritical mate. If the Glazers would've sold to the Qataris (which is now obvious to everyone that they were never gonna do) and Utd would've had a rebuild on the scale City had with all the success that came with it, there's not a single Utd fan that would've been against it and that includes you.
I publicly campaigned against Qatar from day one. And I know many fans who were ready to walk away if Qatar bought United. I think old school City fans would rather not be owned by the Arabs. When I was a kid City had great players. Lee. Bell. Summerbee. You could be great again without being UAE owned. 2 of my grandparents were City fans. If they were still alive I’d like to think they would see it my way.
Just stop it please you old Manchester fans wanted coz he from Manchester he knows club he don’t fake rich man doesn’t know what he’s doing but you wanted so accepted deal with it I didn’t want him for are club I don’t he from Manchester he fake he trying buy Barcelona and Chelsea he not true supporter this is just a project for him because he’s getting old something to have before he dead he is old tell you have Arab money u would make this video would be winning game the debt payed off and no charity would’ve been cancelled so as Manchester United fan my self we deal with it I didn’t wanted fake rich at club so
Full stops, mate.
Stop reading off a script 👀
Ruben Interim
They all want to grab $$$$$$$$ nothing else
sadly money and greed has ruined everything
@ Agree 👍
Who are you going to blame next? 2 billion on players since purple face left ! Who do you think put up this money??????THE GLAZERS……
Money spent on players has either been paid by revenue generated by the football club or added to the debt. The reason we can’t spend on the players the new coach wants is that the money has run out. That’s down to the glazers and made worse since Ineos took charge.
Everytime yourl go to a game yourl are supporting the glazers the glazers must leave
Manchester united are just a richer version of rangers
Steady on. Our roots make us closer to Celtic.
