Ticket prices will have to rise to cover the fines, presumably. :unamused::smile::smile:

That’s the implication and the natives are revolting in more ways than one!

I thought that the Utd ticket prices had shot up already. £66 or something for a match day now.

This could be messy!

They’re gonna have to sell their future or take a points deduction
I have so much sympathy for them. NOT

They also have cash flow issues they owe over 300m in transfer debts to other clubs.
Matt Slater and the boys at the Athletic are getting moist on Twitter at another good football finance story

Oh really

And Oliver’s next game (after Barcelona today) is… a certain relegation battle in Suffolk.

I didn’t see it, but this jumped out at me…

Former Chelsea and Scotland winger Pat Nevin: “Myles Lewis-Skelly is only 10 yards outside the opposition’s box. It must be for violent conduct, but that doesn’t look like violent conduct. It’s a cynical trip. I have never seen that in my life. I am stunned by a red card.”

Sounds a bit like that red a few years ago for a professional foul/cynical trip inside the opposition half, which plainly wasn’t a red by the rules. (Think it might have been Palace, although I’m not sure.) But one of their players tripped up one of ours to prevent a break, clearly expecting a yellow. The ref just sent him off, and the red was duly overturned on appeal after the match.

You’ve got to wonder if refs don’t occasionally simply get tired of such deliberate foul play and eventually think “fuck it, they could easily have scored from that, just for once I’ll send the cheating cunt off.”

“Everyone at Manchester United wishes Lisandro Martinez strength for a successful recovery and we will be supporting him every step of the way.”

With an ACL injury he wont be taking any steps.

No truth in the rumours that the Dxb Saints Krew took him down the York Hotel…
