This club, dear me.

What a shambles already.

I miss Ed Woodward

An absolute laughing stock. INEOS are complete frauds. 😂

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sick to death of it at this point mate. It's like a soap opera every bleeding day with this club.

One normal week is all I ask for. Is it really too much to ask?

In the space of 12 months under INEOS we have already had the Ten Hag sacking / backing situation, the club redundancies, Fergie stepping down, ticket rises mid season and now this.

Unless he's having to step down for personal reasons then this one is going to take some explaining.

Laughable.

Well well facking well

Someone else coming in? Ashworth didn’t want Amorim and has thrown his toys out? Ratcliffe doesn’t understand how much work needs to be done and isn’t happy about the amount of player turnover Ashworth was proposing (this would be my first bet)? Ratcliffe was expecting more from Amorim from day one and thinks Ashworth chose the wrong guy?

Maybe Jim will dress up as Santa and shake a few buckets outside the stadium at the next home game to raise even more cash from the loyal supporters who put up with this crap, to pay for the money it cost him to lure 'best in class' Ashworth to United in the first place.

As I said if he's stepping down for personal reasons then fine. It's very unfortunate but it's one of those things and understandable.

If he's stepping down because the job isn't what he was promised or anything to that extent then yeah I'm already INEOS out. I was close anyway with the utter fiasco over the summer but this will be it for me with the last few weeks.

Fans already singing songs about Jim being a c*** and throwing him on the bonfire with the Glazers last
weekend too. This is hardly going to help calm those feelings down.

Deary me. At least it's not dull being a Utd fan eh lads? 😂

On Twitter they’re saying it’s because he didn’t want Ten Hag to leave. So if that’s the level of his football knowledge I’m fine with him going.

No doubt it’ll all come out in time, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Ashworth has told Berrada that we need to shift Rashford, Nacho, Miro, Antony, and one or two saleable others who don’t fit Amorim’s system perfectly (Mainoo?) to both generate cash to reinvest and clear the wage bill, and Ratcliffe has blown his top.

Maybe he was undermined/felt ignored by Berrada and/or Ineos.

We are great but are constantly taken for a ride and put through the mill mate by charlatans. People have had enough of morons charging us fortunes to watch crap football whilst they spaff it all away constantly.

Are you not a little concerned? 😊

I’m gonna be pizzed if you guys manage to shift Ineos out before we get rid of Levy.

Must be gutting to be close to the untold wealth of Qatari owners only to end up with a guy who is looking more and more like Levy 2.0

Our fans are grea
++++

Our huge and loyal support is probably the only constant asset that Man United have that continues to project any worldwide credibility about the club atm.

This is very swift. A clash has happened somewhere, most likely Jim.

I dream of the days where we can be concerned.

Life support would probably be more apt with us Paul. 😂

Kath is gone, it’s all over.

“What do you mean you provided my effigy to throw on the bonfire?”


“To be fair Jim it was flaking and dry like ancient parchment and had bits falling off it, I thought it WAS you”

I remember the huge celebrations when you got him initially

Craig Hope in the daily mail (yes that rag so take it with a pinch of salt) is claiming it's because Ashworth backed the ETH extension and Jimbo is furious with him. Cost us millions that decision alone and any slight hope of CL football next season. So that one decision could be as costly as £70/80m with no CL revenue plus the new ETH contract and having to sack him.

Again I will repeat we have no idea if that's true or it's a journalist sticking in the knife but you can sort of understand it if it was. That decision alone is a sackable offence.

What a clown show this club is. 😂

Not a good look.

I’m sure we’ll find out in time why but I’d imagine a disagreement with Ashworth and Ratcliffe which isn’t good and would possibly imply Ratcliffe isn’t letting the Sporting Director do his job the way he wants which is kind of essential. Do the Glazers even care what happens these days, haven’t heard anything about them in months.

How ironic arguably the worst decision we made post SAF (extending Ten Hags contract and then giving him £200 million more to jiiiizzz up the wall) was in a period without Ed Woodward at the club
