What a pathetically one-sided and ill-informed segment. Manchester United fans could care less about Jadon Sancho/whichever player they are linked with as individual cases. Their frustration is with the continued lies, mixed messages and general incompetence which comes from... https://twitter.com/skysportsnews/status/1306667720017092613
The people at the club who are above the coaching staff and are woefully unqualified to be where they are.The sheer suggestion that United fans should be reserved in their frustration simply because unqualified idiots have spaffed loads of the club’s money up the wall is derisory
The Glazer family have put nothing into that club, especially not in the last seven years. The frustration comes not at not getting Sancho, that’s an isolated irrelevance, but the fact the person and his cronies who have wasted so much money are still in a job,seven years later.
If the Corona virus hadn’t happened, the exact same situation of this window would have happened, as it has done for the last seven years, just it would have been a different number that would have been ‘unjustifiable’
As hated as they are by supporters, the money that the club has generated through their own success and history, even with the regular Glazer dividends, should have been more than enough to allow United to be within 10 points of Manchester City.
The fact is the same ‘brains trust’ has kept wasting that money or taking too long to make efficient use of it, that’s why fans are frustrated, not because they haven’t got a new glitzy number 7. You really think Monchi would have made such limp use of funds? And what of Ribalta?
An incredibly qualified football person with contacts and a CV bolstered by great work at Juventus was at the club, yet left for a Sporting Director role at Zenit. There is no more attainable, qualified candidate for such a role than Ribalta. Yet he wasn’t listened to and he was
Allowed to leave, only for those certain people at Manchester United to leak on at least three occasions since then that they would love a sporting director and are actively assessing candidates. They had one in the building, a damn good one.
The aforementioned poorly expressed media/tv segments present a view of fans of United, Arsenal, Barcelona, West Ham, Newcastle etc as sets of ungrateful idiots who simply want signings, but never actually look at why they are deeply frustrated.
