Dogs. Tea. Ham Baguettes.

I was very much against Rashford coming back into the fold. I thought if his heart wasn’t in it, it was a bad move all round. And whilst I didn’t see the game on Sunday, I did see the goals. And he looked to be genuinely happy and involved in the celebrations? Positive signs if he’s fully invested.

10 teams in the Premier league spent more than United this summer. 7 had higher net spend. United actually made the fewest number of signings in the division. What is the ambition?

‘The INEOS defence’. 1. If a player costs a lot he’s overpriced. No expensive player is worth it. 2. Negotiations will include a MUFC test. Do you love us enough!? 3. If other clubs want you, we’re not interested. 4. Players are boring, buy land instead. 5. Don’t blame us, blame the Glazers.

The route of all United’s problems is the Glazers. We all know this. They loaded the club with debt, then spent wildly on crap for years. But then JR demanded football control. It’s now his job to make us competitive on the pitch. But his focus is the ground and what it will provide for him.

We’ve evidently moved on from ‘don’t panic, there’s loads of time’ to ‘it doesn’t really matter anyway in the grand scheme of things’. 😁 I am aware there are bigger issues in the world and in my own life than United signing a left back. But I don’t come on Bluesky to talk about those things.

A club with ambition would’ve gone out and got Hall. I simply don’t believe the finances are quite as bad as is being made out. Not sure if that’s just the legacy of years of not trusting the owners and the incompetent people they hired to oversee the running of the club.

Just read the MUST newsletter and their summary of the ticket sanctions this summer . It made for incredibly sad reading . The way the club has such low regard for its supporters never ceases to amaze me .
