    It all comes down to picking the right manager and leaving him to it. That’s all there is to it.

    All this would be ignored if we were decent and had a good team to watch on a Saturday.

    Lawn/Rhodes got it with parky. Hopefully we’ve got it with Hopkin and we will turn the corner and have a positive January and can get back to talking about the football instead of all this absolute “the only way is Essex “ style horseshit “he’s done this “ he’s said that. It’s dull

    Way below any interest any other source of money would have charged at that risk

    So a bit like.......

    “A Glazer sighting at Old Trafford is becoming as rare as a UFO. The last recorded appearance of a Glazer family member in attendance at a competitive Manchester United match was the FA Cup final in May. There are leather-padded seats with plaques that read 'The Glazer family' screwed on, but they are often empty and Ed Woodward and Richard Arnold effectively represent the family in the directors' box”. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/man-utd-glazers-old-trafford-15291277


    Or

    “The open letter, a rare ‘appearance’ of any sort by the elusive City owner – who has only attended one game to date – thanks City fans for their “loyalty, warmth, humour and humility” and, ominously for rivals, says City are only “half way up our Everest”. https://www.mcfcwatch.com/2018/09/15/read-sheikh-mansour-writes-an-open-letter-to-manchester-city-fans-after-a-decade-of-ownership/

    As I understand it our owners have adopted a finance model more akin to the Glazer’s, but even the money pumping ‘in’ Sheik Mansour simply does not attend games.

    So where are the funds from the sale of Wyke? Isn’t that classed as asset stripping?

    You really do need to listen more clearly. He didn’t say that Lawn/Rhodes took nothing out of the club at all. He said they didn’t take a wage, which they didn’t.

    Edin Rahic invested some funds into City, with Rupp being the major shareholder. Yet it is Rahic and his wife that are allegedly taking large salaries. Mark Lawn also bought a share of a football club and took no salary or payments for this.

    Lawn however then loaned the club a further £1m and charged the club (with the backing of his co-owner) interest. You do understand the difference, right?

    As for, “it was only used to buy Brandon, Boulding” etc, that wasn’t Lawn’s doing, it was McCall’s failure. You can’t berate a Chairman for backing his manager just because it went wrong.

    You clearly are delusional...!

    So this is yet another rumour that's now become the truth then is it ? 1 person makes something up and it becomes gospel.

    Thats exactly what these two had when they bought the club and changed the situation to try and deliver Edins dream.
    Lets hope Hopkin is given total control over football matters and the only decision required by yhe owners is can we afford said players.

    If someone can discover how to do a sense of humour transplant, there could be one or two from this forum who would benefit.

    Perhaps because I've been working 12hrs and don't spend my life on here finding 50 different ways to dig at the club.

    You've missed the point big time there. NO-ONE is digging at the club, only the man who is wrecking it. Edin might own the club but THE CLUB IS US and still will be long after he is gone. That is why we will be back there tomorrow getting behind the players again. It is a shame you are working so much that you couldn't get down Tuesday eve. It was a real demo of what our club means to so many, including past players and staff. Carry on defending Edin as much as you like, it s your right.

    It was a great nostalgic evening remembering Stephan Darby and then hearing past players, managers ETC, not too sure the present players in attendance were keen to be there but as Jonesy said in closing you give your all to these fans and they will back you 100%, as fans thats all we ask.
