    It'd * you off, watching this. Can't imagine just how lucky Liverpool were to get rid of guys like these. United are being swindled even worse.

    I`m Bryan Robson Global Ambassador for Manchester United, not for long after this. Bet you Fergie will be delighted to have his name dropped into the conversation.

    Bryan Robson will be signing a contract with the social in the morning I think.

    I could imagine Fergie puting his foot through the Telly tonight. :47: :icon_mrgreen:

    I was totally shocked at this tonight!
    Fergie certainly did not get shown in a good light! His nose must have gone a 5 shades deeper in colour.

    This all reminds you of how lucky we are that are football club is, seemingly, at least, secure and being looked after in the right way.

    No but it basically showed you how the person fronting the purchase of a club is not necessarily the main benefactor of the deal. For example apparently a few Championship clubs have major shareholders who are in fact deceased.. but still maintain an active interest in the club haha

    The bit around 40 minutes is a scream. "The fans are a problem, we have to higher a pr company and release statements saying we will invest in players". Sound familiar.

    Unbelievable stuff, we all suspected the english game was corrupt but that show confirms it, the people i feel sorry for are the fans whose clubs are being bought and sold as if they are poker chips.

    puts the way we are run in stark perspective; folk who moan that our board are too prudent need only watch this show to see just how well run a club we are :50:

    Aye I do feel bad for the fans, did you see the clip of the wee old lady (who I assume was a Pompy fan) she said 'I dont smoke, I dont drink, all I love is my football' poor old dear was nearly in tears.

    She must have followed her club for decades and watched it be destroyed by other peoples greed.
