Getting a lot of Manchester United fans in the mentions today lecturing about money, so here's a quick history lesson.
Albert Quixall 1958, British record. Denis Law 1962, British record. Gordon McQueen 1978, British record. Bryan Robson 1981, British record, two years after the first ever £1m transfer in this country. Pallister 1989, record fee for a defender. Keane 1993, British record. Andy Cole 1995, British record, bought off US in January to stop us winning the league. Van Nistelrooy AND Veron in 2001, two British records in one year. Ferdinand 2002, world record for a defender. Di Maria 2014, British record. Pogba 2016, world record on the entire planet. Maguire 2019, world record for a defender AGAIN.
For sixty years, when United wanted a player, the price went up for everyone else. They've broken the British transfer record more than any club in history.
Since Ferguson left: £1.43 BILLION spent. Zero titles. Net debt over a billion dollars, and their owners' takeover model has since been banned by the Premier League for loading debt onto clubs.
Lads, Man city have broke the rules, but lets not pretend you're not the moral guardians of football finance. 🖤🤍

We have completed an agreement to purchase the Woolsington Hall estate as the site for a new world-class training complex.
A scheme totalling £190m will see 260 acres of land carefully restored, with a view to the men’s first team moving in for the 2029/30 season ⤵️

To all Reform supporters,
You DO NOT get PIP for anxiety.
You DO NOT get PIP for ADHD.
You DO NOT get PIP for <Schizophrenia, Autism, being in a wheelchair>.
You get PIP for how a disability impacts you.
Hope this helps to stop you spouting hate filled nonsense in the future.

Loving the "gone by Christmas" takes on our new head coach.
Quick reminder. November 2021, we appointed a bloke who'd just been relegated with Bournemouth and had been out of work a year. The entire country laughed. Sky pundits had us down for the Championship by March. That bloke won us our first trophy in seventy years.
Before that we hired Steve Bruce and gave him THREE years. Nobody said a word about him being gone by Christmas.
So forgive us if we're not losing sleep over the opinions of people who've never watched a minute of Austrian or Saudi football and found out his name on Thursday.
For the record: two league titles, a domestic double at 33, Salzburg's first ever Champions League knockout stage, and back to back Asian Champions Leagues. He's 38 and he's won more in five years than most Premier League managers manage in a career.
Might work, might not. That's football. But "who?" isn't an argument, it's just admitting you haven't looked him up yet.
Willkommen Matthias. Let them keep laughing. 🖤🤍

They will try to screw us... #NUFC should put a deadline of Wednesday if bid not acceptable we wont be taken any more bids. Time to get tough with them.

Understand Newcastle’s stance on Lewis Hall will be much firmer: he’s not for sale.
Man Utd are very keen, but wary of how difficult a deal will be to do. Funds remain limited.

Embarrassing listening to @NUFC trolls slaughter Bruno. His commitment has never been in doubt & he’ll rightly leave as a legend. He’s been phenomenal. Not his fault the club can’t match his ambitions & not the clubs fault either. Don’t begrudge his ambitions to win titles.

CLUB STATEMENT
The club would like to address rumours circulating on social media regarding unacceptable behaviour following today’s game away to Seaham Red Star.
After a brief investigation, we can confirm that Billingham Town supporter Phil Smith has received a lifetime ban from the club and has been reported to the Northern League, The FA and Cleveland Police.
Although we are delighted to see Town win, and appreciate that celebrations can occasionally go a little too far, ordering a strawberry daiquiri in a pub, with the lads, on a matchday cannot—and will not—be tolerated.
Furthermore, to ensure the club does not encourage similar behaviour in future, lager tops will no longer be served in the clubhouse.
The club considers the matter closed.
