So we make the second most substitutions and they have the second least impact on goals scored.

probably because they are to late and the game is already lost.

Sack the manager again.

“Too late” under RM usually meant straight after we gifted the oppo their traditional head start by spending the first ten minutes of every game playing suicidally dangerous passes across our own box between the keeper and several inept defenders, until an attacker finally got bored watching and simply intercepted one of the countless wayward passes and disdainfully prodded it into an empty net. While the manager pointed to the indisputable fact that although those ten minutes had resulted in conceding the first goal, as per usual within minutes of kick off, we had in fact enjoyed 99% possession during that time.

Have you factored in the “act of desperation” tactic?

Things are now so bad I actually miss RM… at least they played a certain way and but for the lack of sufficient talent to play that way, and the fuckcuntytard errors by the defensive players, we were not as shite as we are today where we have no style, no confidence, no tactics, no motivation or passion and no fucking clue.

I know its a results driven business, but at least we used to lose with style…

There is nothing to suggest that the continuing maulings wouldn’t have had the same effect on morale with RM in charge. I think I would have been as effective, but cheaper.

Plus, we’d have still had Pinder around the place.

Analysis paralysis

Oh really

Got no money they say, have to make lots of staff redundant they say, can’t afford to pay players they say…

I know, let’s build a 100k capacity stadium at a cost of £2bn…

Bet you lot pay for a lot of that

reckon a lot of the money will come from the proceeds of the surrounding property development - they own huge swathes of land around the stadium

Unless the glaziers have pulled a pompey arms dealer stunt and hived it off

THat’s more accurate for these times

The largest stadium in the Championship

Following Manchester United’s plans for a new stadium, the local council have lodged an objection.

A spokesman said “A funfair in the area a couple of times a year is fine, but a circus every other week is unacceptable.”

IF this does go ahead… I bet 100% it ends up costing the tax payer multi-millions, whether it be improvements to transport infrastructure, or simply covering costs of inevitable cost increases to ‘save the icon of the North’… A vanity project for a club that is already so far up its own arse with its ego breaking new records in every conceivable way and with no send of shame as its makes 400 staff redundant… Theatre of Dreams?
