It is being reported on Sky Sports that Barcelona want Rashford on a second-season-long loan rather than buy him.
1.) 29 Apr 2026 11:22:29
I fully expect us to tell Barca to take a long jump off a short plank. If we don't we will be a laughing stock and a easy mark in the future. Sell him elsewhere for more money, grasping soanish barstewards
2.) 29 Apr 2026 11:41:40
I suppose it comes down to how much of the transfer fee buys out his contract, versus gives us a profit. Does anyone know?
3.) 29 Apr 2026 12:03:45
This comes at the same time Barca are apparently looking at Alvarez, who would cost the best part of £100m, I'd expect. If they've got the cash for that, then they can pay the agreed fee for Rashford.
If not, I'm sure another club would, and Rashford would know that Barca isn't an option for him, as they've chosen not to sign him when it was entirely possible.
4.) 29 Apr 2026 12:30:28
Or just keep him and get over it. He's good. (When he can be motivated).
5.) 29 Apr 2026 13:14:41
Barcelona are always up to this type of stuff. They'll be in Rashford's ear trying to get him to agitate for the move - i.e. refusing to move anywhere other than Barcelona. They'll want us to be left with a choice between giving in to their demands, or being stuck with a player who doesn't want to be here, on huge wages.
If I were United, I'd tell Barca where to go, and give Rashford a choice between moving elsewhere or spending a year with the reserves.
6.) 29 Apr 2026 14:08:53
I can't believe anybody would want Rashford back. Besides Lingard, he is probably the epitome of everything wrong with the last 15 years of player culture at the club.
7.) 29 Apr 2026 15:24:11
Barcelona's loan deal for Marcus Rashford does not include an obligation to buy, but rather a non-mandatory option to purchase him for approximately £26m-EUR30m. He's paid approx. £325K per week. He'll never get that at Barce. He'll take his £17m for the 26/27 season and sign for them for free. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some obligation between Barce and Rashford already in place. There's not really anywhere else for him to go; no one's paying the money and no one's paying the wages. His contract must go down as one of the worst in the club's history. The best we can hope for is someone comes in for him; however, if he says no, there's nothing we can do, leaving the only option a Barce loan to get his wages off the books.
We've got Sancho, Casemiro, Malacia coming off the books, worth about £800k per week. Removing Rashford will push us to approx £1.1m. With maybe Ugarte and Zirkzee going, that is another £275k, so we'll have potentially £1.4m ish headroom for wages. To give some context, that weekly amount is higher than Everton's, with 10 teams having a lower weekly wage bill. We'll be able to sign some decent players, hopefully.
8.) 29 Apr 2026 17:24:41
We will have plenty of wage headroom, at least from an FFP point of view. Being in the Champions League, total squad cost can be up to 70% of revenues, which should comfortably exceed £700m next year. Right now, I believe squad cost is around 50% of total revenues. We'll be losing at least £100m a year in existing squad cost. Casemiro alone is £60m wages + amortization; Sancho's and Hojlund's amortization is around a further £30. That's before considering other sales.
Zirkzee? Ugarte? Onana? We'll be more limited by debt and borrowing facilities than by squad cost.
Rashford is on the books for 2 more years. That's a big nut if he returns, but it's probably manageable. I'm more confident that there'll be a solution of some sort under this management team than under the previous one. If Barcelona will only go to a loan, how about a full 2 year one? Does that ever happen? Wages paid plus a loan fee?
9.) 29 Apr 2026 20:41:21
God almighty, Eric. We have to move on. If there's one thing everyone should agree on, it's that the squad is much better after Amorim than before. That's because the toxic players were shipped out. Why take one back in? Just baffling.
10.) 29 Apr 2026 21:11:27
Understand all that. If indeed Rashford was a bad apple, then good riddance. I have no knowledge of whether he was or not.
Just wondering what Emery, Tuchel and Flick all see in him that many on here don't.
11.) 30 Apr 2026 01:17:17
DonRed, do you know if he's a toxic person/player?
12.) 30 Apr 2026 07:22:00
Angel, of course I don't, but inference is a thing! Rashford most obviously wasn't putting in the effort for a long time. He didn't track back, and it was very clear he wasn't following the coaches' instructions. That's part of the toxicity I'm referring to. And, many at the club took that view, which is why he was loaned out.
13.) 30 Apr 2026 10:09:11
A club that has proven to have no shame in transfer negotiations and a club who has the naivety to label assets it wants to sell as a "bomb squad".
Not surprised it has come to this, lol.
If the club is not serious about bringing Rashford back, then they are, within reason, going to have to go along with what Barcelona want.
14.) 30 Apr 2026 10:40:48
I wouldn't have him as a toxic player or person whatsoever.
It was clear to see he had lost faith and interest in the club, and I think there are many mitigating factors. I mean, even after not playing again since that November, I believe he had 7 goals and was our top scorer for some time that season, even after leaving.
He's been very good for Barcelona, but they are doing what they do.
They don't have a lot of money, they have other targets, and they want to keep Rashford, but at the cheapest cost necessary. They know that the club and player want to fully part, and United need to release funds, so they do hold a lot of power in this position.
I'd like to see the club stand their ground here, but their hands may just be tied unless they say either they pay or you come back.
15.) 30 Apr 2026 10:46:17
Barcelona are a funny institution, they act broke with us, then spend millions elsewhere, they'll also sign players, then spend months getting others to lower their wages just to fit them in. Stump up or jog on. It's as simple as that. They wouldn't do us in favours if the show was on the other foot!
16.) 30 Apr 2026 14:03:46
Tim, if they jog on, are you okay with Rashford coming back? Because if he doesn't go to Barcelona, that's what's likely going to happen.
17.) 30 Apr 2026 15:03:47
I get u, Angel, but we can't just bow to their demands. We agreed a loan with a buy option, the fee is more than reasonable given his age and profile. We can't just give him away either, as that will set a precedent for future deals too.
18.) 30 Apr 2026 18:16:09
Okay, so for those not aware, Rashford turned up worse for wear for training a couple of times and was a negative influence and voice resisting leadership efforts, and deliberately doing dumb s*** like heading out to clubs and even abroad without permission for breaks.
He also had his personal life heading down the tubes, broke up with his partner, acted like a baller and almost got himself in a lot of trouble in Moss Side one day when his siblings got taxed for their cars and watches, and generally showed awful judgment and attitude.
I'm from Wythenshawe, same as him, and he burned a good few bridges also with people who were very much behind him.
I would never trust him again. But I would also use the headroom we have financially now to ensure we cannot be blackmailed by using him as an example of "don't bite the hand that's fed you or you will get bitten back". If he and Barca try the blackmail game, let him be the miserable one, training one for a year as an example of what happens if you don't learn to respect your employer that put you where you are now.
19.) 30 Apr 2026 20:12:46
You in the know, Captain Obvious, yeah? ?
20.) 30 Apr 2026 20:13:47
Tim, I know what you're saying, but it's not an obligation.
Tough place to be in. I agree, he needs to move on, for both parties, but Barca know what they're doing.
21.) 30 Apr 2026 21:42:25
I get u, angel... Just hope we can get the players out that we need to and for decent fees. Barca are a right ***** to deal with, maybe other teams might enter the mix. Fingers crossed.
22.) 01 May 2026 03:14:53
Yes angel, I am. I know you can be a little slow on the uptake sometimes, so I will say it sssslowllllllyyyy for you.
None of what I said is a secret, but in my case its all from personal knowledge.
You know what they say, better to keep.your mouth shut and people.think you're a fool than open it and prove it beyond any doubt.
23.) 01 May 2026 08:24:20
Nice1, Captain. ?
24.) 02 May 2026 13:07:40
Rashford has a preference to play elsewhere. That alone says he should not be near our squad, and I'm very confident he won't be. Call his bluff, and Barcelona's, and if he doesn't move, just leave him in a Sancho situation where he trains with the reserves. It's expensive, but 2 can play at a game of brinkmanship.
There will be other takers for him on loan at worst. Personally, I'd cut ties with Barca; tell Rashford they don't meet our valuations. Tell him to find another option, or he is all alone in a bomb squad.
If he thinks he can force the situation, then put him straight, and tell him we won't deal with Barcelona until they meet the valuation. Rashford will then need to find another option. I'd loan him or sell him to any other club in the world except Barcelona. If he won't go elsewhere, then just leave him in the reserves.
Rashford does not want to play for United, he had other preferences, so that alone should be enough for any of his supporters to drop support for him.
25.) 02 May 2026 13:21:36
Thanks for the insights Co, nice to get a local perspective confirming what some of us have heard from elsewhere.
The 'poor Marcus the victim' narrative has been pedalled by his PR crew and is a very false narrative from what I've heard.
If Barca don't fancy him for 26m, it tells you all you need to know.
I think any club would be very wary of giving him a contract.
26.) 03 May 2026 07:17:02
I don't even want him near the reserves. Gardening leave if necessary.
27.) 03 May 2026 15:29:53
I'm not sure they can do that, Fizz.
There is the option of canceling his contract mutually.
He has shown a huge amount of disrespect to his team-mates, coaches (several), and the fans by not putting in maximum effort and doing his own thing.
He has decent ability, no doubt, and will get his share of goals and assists at Barcelona as a good squad player.
That does not command 300k pw at Barcelona, so if he wants to play there he should accept that and reduce his demands and get paid for the role he is playing. He will play a squad role there, and that's probably 100k pw. At a push.
I get he doesn't want to give up his big contract and you might ask why should he? Well, if he wants to sign for them he can only demand what squad/rotation players are paid. He can't command superstar wages.
I've read he is prepared to take some sort of reduction, but perhaps he needs to go deeper to make a move happen.
I can see it dragging on all summer with him going back there or elsewhere on loan.
Our permanent coach may want him to stay and trust him to rebuild a few bridges.
If our permanent coach wants him to stay, then that's something sceptics like me will have to accept and hope he can regain fans' trust and respect.
I hope and I'm confident that he won't be here next season, but I'm not confident that we will get the ideal terms.
For me, it is a no brainer deal for Barcelona at 26m if they can get him down to 150k pw. They can really easily freeze him out if he is not doing great and flip him on in a year and get a profit without the buying clubs facing a 300k pw wage demand.

Jesse Lingard has completed his move to Brazil, joining Corinthians.
1.) 07 Mar 2026 17:04:07
Hopefully the clown stays there.
2.) 07 Mar 2026 17:24:40
What makes him a clown, Spence? Contributed massively to a few of the trophies we have won in the last 10 years, too.
3.) 07 Mar 2026 21:30:51
Behave, mate. He threw away his football career, and you know it.
4.) 07 Mar 2026 21:58:16
Nope, he went through well-documented off-the-field family issues. He did well, came through the academy, played around 150 games for us, scored some massive goals, and was a key player in some of the rare trophies we've won since 2013. If that's throwing away your career, then so be it.
5.) 07 Mar 2026 22:45:58
Yep, Pspence, I think you've gotten that one badly wrong. Jesse had a few really good years here. And his decision in going to Seoul meant a huge pay drop. He embraced the culture there and is a fan favourite despite a rocky start there.
6.) 08 Mar 2026 12:08:27
Lingard gave us some good times. He's a character, but he's done well, and come through some tough times. He's one of our own, a Northwest lad who played for United.
He's playing in Brazil, apparently for a very low wage. He's experiencing the world, and fair play to him. Wish him the best.
7.) 08 Mar 2026 12:37:42
Lingard's a very promising young player.
8.) 08 Mar 2026 22:02:56
He was more interested in off field antics than football. Having issues doesn't excuse him; we all have issues, but that doesn't mean we stop turning up to work.
9.) 14 Mar 2026 18:56:38
Wasn't he a catalyst in dragging a few players down to his off-field issues?
10.) 16 Mar 2026 10:25:50
PSpence, he didn't stop turning up for work. I think he had a fine career. Sure, some of his antics are questionable and not for everyone. It's usually a generational thing.
Arguments can be made that he didn't fulfill the potential he had and he made some errors along the way, but being an academy graduate, trophies, England caps, travelling, and playing in different parts of the world.
When all is said and done, he should look back fondly.
11.) 17 Mar 2026 16:03:13
Every single player on here would love to have had the career Lingard did and experience what he has done.
He will have regrets, but who doesn't? Even Frank Sinatra had a few.
But he seems happy, so who are we to judge. He may have achieved most of his life goals, and not everybody can say that.
Not everybody is the same.
Maybe he got what he wanted or his career was more important to him than what you think he should have got out of it.
He never seemed to put football ahead of everything, but most people don't put their career before everything, only the really special, dedicated ones do, and they are few and far between.

Thomas Frank sacked by Spurs. Roberto De Zerbi leaves Marseille by mutual consent. Coincidence?
1.) 11 Feb 2026 17:08:55
If your implying de zero goes to spurs I hope so he's a woeful coach.
2.) 12 Feb 2026 08:13:08
Dyche also gone. Forest owner is an embarrassment, hope they go down.
3.) 12 Feb 2026 09:38:33
Sacking Nuno was a disgrace at Forest. The irony is he’ll keep West Ham up most likely based on their recent form at the expense of Forest.
Forest are the new Watford.
4.) 12 Feb 2026 10:08:30
Would like to see Di Zerbi and Frank back in the premier league soon as their Brighton and Brentford sides were excellent performers for their respective budgets.
For the Dyche, the championship beckons if he wants to get back into work.
5.) 12 Feb 2026 20:56:03
Im not a fan of dyche.
I like de zerbi but he seems very emotional but I like the way his teams play.
Frank is a solid citizen. Seems like a good guy and i'd like toto see them both back at work soon. I hope they choose the right appointments.

Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim in the wake of rising tension at Old Trafford; Amorim dismissed after meeting with Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox; Darren Fletcher to take charge of United for Wednesday's game at Burnley; Amorim departs after 14 months in charge.
1.) 05 Jan 2026 11:23:27
The press conference yesterday sealed his fate. Otherwise he would have seen the season through.
2.) 05 Jan 2026 11:29:49
Rinse and repeat. And so the cycle continues.
3.) 05 Jan 2026 11:40:03
Who we thinking for his long term replacement then?
I believe Glasner is the favourite.
4.) 05 Jan 2026 12:00:26
Glasner? The guy who plays 343? That will go well here. It shouldn't be ever so long before some turn on him due to his 'formation'.
5.) 05 Jan 2026 12:11:25
Here’s hoping Wilcox follows him out the door.
6.) 05 Jan 2026 12:56:35
Ed001, you mentioned that the club were willing to get rid of Wilcox. Is this something they could still do?
I have not been impressed with what I’ve heard about him. That he sucked up to Ratcliffe and undermined Ashworth to steal his job. I feel like we need a proven DoF to come in and sort out the mess.
{Ed001's Note - I think it is very likely he will be replaced as well, in a couple of months or so when it will not seem related.}

Man Utd team news
Man Utd: Lammens, Dalot, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Amad, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Mbeumo, Mount, Zirkzee.
Subs: Bayindir, Dorgu, Heaven, Malacia, Martinez, Mazraoui, Mainoo, Ugarte, Lacey.
1.) 30 Nov 2025 10:49:34
Not a team that looks like being able to beat a good palace team. But looking at the bench there wasn’t many other options.
2.) 30 Nov 2025 11:28:08
That team looks poor in 3421 but I’d say looks decent in a 433.
3.) 30 Nov 2025 11:42:55
So far absolutely awful. its terrible. Utd are so crap it unbelievable.
4.) 30 Nov 2025 13:15:50
Never in doubt ?? where didthat second half performance come from? Brilliant result after Mondays shambles.
5.) 30 Nov 2025 14:27:57
Feels much better after the win. Second half was much better but the issues with CM and the left side remain. Licha back could be huge and Mazraoui probably starts now before Yoro. A left side with Licha, Shaw and Cunha has enough quality I think. Others here I know don't believe Shaw can handle LWB but 60 minutes from him with Dorgu/ Dalot playing the remainder would be a significant improvement.
We're not particularly fluid but mostly the upward trend from last year is clear. Today was another game we'd have lost last year.
6.) 30 Nov 2025 21:43:26
We need to grind out results. This match last year, would have resulted in a loss for Utd.
I do believe that when Licha is fully fit and capable of playing 90 mins, that Shaw should play LWB. Dorgu and Dalot haven't impressed. I thought that Malacia might even be given a chance. It appears he is just making up the numbers.
7.) 01 Dec 2025 07:21:02
The work rate in the aecond half was excellent. We outfought Palace and that was tremendous to see.

Outfought a team that played less than 72 hours earlier and your bragging about that, I know we have to be grateful for small mercies but that’s pushing it… we won let’s just take that not start saying we were excellent.
10.) 03 Dec 2025 03:47:31
Difficult one Ken. Whilst in principal I agree, I was a season ticket holder for 30 years. For 12 years of that I was in the armed forces. Whilst based in UK I was there every week. But for 5 years I was based overseas. Some of that was in Europe so made efforts to get back every now and then. However some of it was in I was unable to travel so “sold” my tickets out of the folder at the Trafford Arms.
That gave me some return on my season ticket and meant that I could retain it throughout that period. I gave it up in 2005 after living in Oz as it was clear I would not be returning permanently. I am now happy that some do sell their tickets and know I can go to the Trafford Arms and get a ticket if required.
11.) 03 Dec 2025 06:25:47
Edit. However some of it was in a place that cannot be mentioned and I was unable to travel.

Football won't fix war crimes or human suffering. And trying to reduce it to banter or balance points is honestly grim.

I'm sure if this site was around during the 1930's there would have been people saying we shouldn't be posting about that is happening in Germany politically at the time.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but not all opinions are equally valid. While the Ed's on here also have to make sure they tread a careful line about what is and isn't allowed to be posted for both liable reasons and to maintain civility on the site.
What is happening in Palestine right now and has been for decades is an absolute disgrace, and a stain on humanity. Unfortunately, much of the mainstream media have connections to Israel and as such have been shameful in their reporting on the topic, this along with a western bias against Muslims means that we have been woefully misinformed by the mainstream media. However, with the rise in social media and more independent forms of media what is happening their is finally being brought to light in the way it should have been for decades.
The biggest problem humanity has with issues like this is the tendency to attach ourselves to what is familiar. We judge from a position of subconscious bias rather than just on the pure morality of the situation. Meaning too many people won't speak out against something if the perpetrators are seen as more familiar to them than the victims.
Fortunately younger generations seem to be bucking that trend in the most part, which is at least a small silver lining.
14.) 24 May 2026 15:07:57
Thanks, ED001. Really appreciate that you ensure that these boards aren't completely shut off from politics and real world problems.
Sport doesn't exist in a vacuum, and the only people that benefit from pretending that it does are the ones doing horrific things or profiting from those that do.
15.) 24 May 2026 16:29:24

16.) 24 May 2026 16:40:56
Your post was so inoffensive that the only reason someone would possibly kick up a fuss is that they want to live in an echo chamber so insulated that the thought of their world view being called into question never even crosses their mind.
17.) 24 May 2026 18:56:59
Anybody who has seen or even read about the atrocities happening and claims to have seen plenty of footage and comes to a dumbass conclusion that there is not enough people playing football on the streets in Palestine is pretty stupid and lacks any sort of understanding or decency imo I'm not one bit surprised on this occasion.
No matter what your political persuasion is its one of the most disgusting thinks I've read on these pages and shows a complete lack of class.
Take your head out of the sand. Dear oh dear.
I agree that this is not usually a page for politics but I think the eds were right on this occasion to highlight the total and complete disregard of common human decency.
I would suggest persecuted homeless starving people have other other priorities right now other than a game of footie.
18.) 25 May 2026 01:43:55
Maybe you are aware of the Christmas Truce during WW1, maybe you are not.
I appreciate that my comment has caused concern, but it was not intended to.
What is happening is awful and of course it is heartbreaking to see. I have no words to make it better, and probably should have articulated it better, or as the Eds suggested, said nothing at all.
I have no political leaning whatsoever as one suggested, and I see conflict as a colossal waste of human life.
I'm sorry if I caused offence to anyone.

2.) 14 May 2026 20:06:18
Couple of light yellows.
3.) 14 May 2026 20:14:47
Standard of refereeing is poor.
4.) 14 May 2026 20:18:52
Uninspiring so far. City are dominating and are very quick on the break. Should be ahead. Our midfield is weak, and our keeper is poor.
5.) 14 May 2026 20:24:55
Standard of not arguing is impressive.
6.) 14 May 2026 20:25:52
Our support is better.
7.) 14 May 2026 20:30:22
Getting schooled atm.
8.) 14 May 2026 20:32:17
Watching on my phone on a train, it's been pretty dire. If JJ is the next big thing, then we are struggling, he's really not contributing. In the last final, Garnacho took it by the scruff of the neck. It all seems a bit safe tonight.
9.) 14 May 2026 20:35:15
No central midfield control at all, playing counter attack like the first team, but no bite at all on the break. Not using Gabriel.
10.) 14 May 2026 20:36:03
Keeper is poor ?..... What game are you watching. He's the reason Utd aren't losing.
11.) 14 May 2026 20:45:29
2-1 City, tbh, they are far better, we are playing like the first team, counter but without any attack. Best get used to it.
12.) 14 May 2026 20:47:12
Of course, JJ is only 15!
13.) 14 May 2026 20:48:53
Nick, he doesn't dominate his area. I know he's a kid, but still a lot to learn.
The reason we were level, (not now as I write), is because City were wasteful. Their right winger had our left back on toast all night, and the centre backs didn't help him out much.
14.) 14 May 2026 20:53:37
Forget the result, which ones are stepping up to the first team?
15.) 14 May 2026 20:53:44
Very reminiscent of the first team, except it was counter without the attack. This looked like our first team tactics. Sad, really. We have players who can play, but the tactics looked old and antiquated. Yes, it's the youth, but Fletcher seems to have the same tactical nous as our temp manager. Good night.
16.) 15 May 2026 00:37:03
Was Michael Carrick managing? ?
17.) 15 May 2026 06:55:41
Angel
He was watching, and, as you know, managers try to have the same style of play through all teams. Who knows, but the tactics were the same as what we have seen from Carrick.
18.) 15 May 2026 07:43:07
Jimbo, they had a bad day at the office. I saw no evidence that any of them are even nearly ready to step up.
19.) 15 May 2026 09:54:46
Hopefully, we get a manager that will give them a chance to step up and play expressive football, like they have done all season.
20.) 15 May 2026 11:33:18
If they play 200 min 1st team football between the lot of them next season, I'll be surprised.
21.) 16 May 2026 09:59:47
Who knows. Well, you don't, Red man, that's for sure.
Carrick has been in charge for like 15 games or something, and now we are saying it's his coaching style/ideas implemented across the club.
Jesus Christ, that is some stretching going on. But anything to blame him, I guess.
14 May 2026 09:34:54
If you haven't already seen this, it's a great watch.
Rio Meets Casemiro.
Part 1.
Part 2.

Michael Owen opens up on 40-minute phone call he had with Sir Alex Ferguson before Man United legend, 84, fell unwell at Old Trafford ahead of Liverpool game.
That would be enough to put anybody in the hospital. Why not just hit him with a car, FS? ??.
25 Mar 2026 13:17:03
To commemorate Mo Salah's departure from Liverpool at season's end, the club will be retiring the penalty spot at Anfield. ??.
1.) 25 Mar 2026 14:06:04
We'll have to retire both penalty spots when Bruno retires, so.
2.) 25 Mar 2026 19:25:00
No jokes allowed, Fizz. Fun police is here.
3.) 25 Mar 2026 21:53:04
Announcing it mid-season, and potentially de-railing Liverpool's title defence, really lacks class. If Liverpool don't retain the title this year, I suspect a lot of fans will place a lot of the blame on Salah announcing his exit mid-season.
{Ed025's Note - i think Liverpool,s title defence was derailed about 4 months ago Shappy, they are hopeless at the moment mate..
4.) 25 Mar 2026 23:01:05
Only the small-minded ones will.
I think it's a good move by the club. 2 horrible cup ties coming up, the league is over, it's derailing nothing, and it might have a real positive effect.
I doubt any proper Liverpool fan would blame anything negative on this announcement.
5.) 26 Mar 2026 07:44:52
I saw that GDS2 lol.
6.) 26 Mar 2026 12:43:41
Fizz, that was funny for you. ?
03 May 2026 07:17:02
I don't even want him near the reserves. Gardening leave if necessary.
01 May 2026 08:24:20
Nice1, Captain. ?
22 Jan 2026 09:00:11
This was widely reported in the press yesterday. Possibly with Ugarte involved in part exchange. Seems versatile as a FB, CB and DM.
05 Jan 2026 13:18:17
Tuchel? ????
Noooo!
05 Jan 2026 12:00:26
Glasner? The guy who plays 343? That will go well here. It shouldn't be ever so long before some turn on him due to his 'formation'.
23 May 2026 18:59:39
Ed, why has my objection to the post above by Unruly re his support of Palestine not been published?
{Ed007's Note - You're objection was overruled by the essence of human decency and the need to highlight the ongoing genocide in Palestine ??
20 May 2026 07:37:34
Meehh.
19 May 2026 15:54:42
I've been clear about what I think. Their utter arrogance and disregard for the league, disrespect for their competitors, and their clear pi$$ taking of the system to frustrate and prolong the process is contemptible. Nothing short of expulsion from the league is acceptable. Cheating should be punished severely.
19 May 2026 08:12:14
I'm hoping the authorities will grow a pair and send Citeh down into non-league football to start again.
16 May 2026 07:12:20
I've seen these 'rumours' on Sky too, but nothing is confirmed yet.
