Let's All Laugh At Man Utd! (Merged thread)

[TurnipMasher]

I think it's pretty fucking stupid of the PL chief exec to come out and say it is costing them to have United being shit. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but there are literally millions of people who need zero encouragement to cry foul play especially when United get some favourable decisions.

Read that too and thought the same thing. Very ill informed thing to say, despite whether it's true or not.

What was said mate, haven't seen this.

And that's what it's all about to the PL and FA...

At least he has the refs to help out the cause, so far though ten of them will be in the firing line

He really is a fucking idiot.

He should go back to being a jockey.

Manchester United troubles 'affect Premier League brand'

Manchester United's troubled defence of their Premier League title is harming the English top flight's worldwide brand, says the competition's chief executive Richard Scudamore.

Under new boss David Moyes, United are seventh in a disappointing campaign.

The 20-time champions are 18 points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

"It's a double-edged sword," said Scudamore. "When your most popular club isn't doing as well, that costs you interest and audience in some places."

Former Everton manager Moyes has watched the Red Devils suffer 10 defeats in 31 league matches since he replaced Sir Alex Ferguson, who retired last summer after almost 27 years in charge.

His team were knocked out of the FA Cup at the third-round stage before being eliminated from the Capital One Cup in the semi-finals.

They have reached the Champions League quarter-finals, where they will face defending champions Bayern Munich next month.

"There are lots of fans around the world who wish Manchester United were winning it again," Scudamore told Bloomberg.

"But you have to balance that off against, generally, we're in the business of putting on a competition and competition means people can compete."

Overseas television deals will earn the Premier League more than £2bn between 2013 and 2016.

The Premier League sold its domestic broadcasting rights to Sky and BT in a record-breaking deal, worth around £3bn, last year.

I know this has been mentioned on another thread but I believe these comments deserve their own thread. Anyway Scudamore's words make you think about referees, Fergie time, etc.

Fuck 'em. Hope they get relegated, go into administration, cease to exist and Old Trafford is demolished.

.

what does he mean "generally" ?.....

shouldn't he be 100% in the business of putting on a competition - the EPL is not the FA.....

if ever there was an admission that the PL is bent in favour of ad revenue and shirt sales, thats it right there.

[officepest]

Aw, diddums. Is your pwecious ickle bwand being damaged by the comedy failings of Utd? Tough shit Dickie - few outside of Surrey give a toss.

[clockender1]

only two points behind the vermin now.

it would be quite funny if they pip them to 6th and the spuds don't even make Europe in their "title year'...

just watch that exodus come June

[TommyGunner]

Couldn't give two sh*ts about what some plastic fan 5,000 miles away thinks of the 'League Brand'.

Anyway, if Man U aren't winning then half of Asia might support us instead and buy all the shitty merchandise and stop us real fans paying 3% every other year

Fuck 'em. Hope they get relegated, go into administration, cease to exist and Old Trafford is demolished.

Merged - as we don't need 2 threads about these cuntballs.

This is not going to be popular but heyho, I think that if I were to pick a team to win the pl based on entertainment level then it would be Liverpool first and city a close second.

I also think gerrard has been superb.

That's all, carry on.
