Which bit do you disagree with? You think that united vs Barcelona or Liverpool vs Real Madrid won't generate ridiculous levels of interest in Asia and the Middle East? Particularly if they do it like formula one and play the games around the globe. The USP will be the world league itself and all the greatest stars playing in it. The allure will be literally all the world's best footballers playing against each other on a weekly basis. It's a similar thing for franchises like the nfl and playing at Wembley hasn't harmed them at all. They will get loads of interest and make loads of money and they won't give much of a f*ck about the traditional fans.
Because we used to actually compete even a little bit. 3-1 for example with some decent performances and you can take the positives and move on. 4-1 at half time is pathetic no matter who you are up against.
Sadly it won't though will it. It will be a raging success in the likes of China where they just want to see the world's biggest and best players every single week against each other. The traditional fans are really of no consequence in that scenario because they will be replaced by thousands of far east supporters who couldn't point out Manchester on a map but who all have shelled out for a replica shirt.
I was there on Saturday. It was horrendous compared to a couple of seasons ago. I watched almost the entirety of last season and whilst that performance was marginally better, it was still incredibly poor.
We'd do OK with that team. We'd obviously keep a couple of others as well and maybe buy a new rb and striker. I'd genuinely be interested in watching us again with something like that. I won't be watching the game tomorrow as I have better things to do with my time.
Imagine if we did get relegated and we had the likes of Hesketh, gunn, Stephens, Reed, sims, Gallagher, jwp in our squad. I'd rather watch all of them in the team than the current lot.
Can't disagree with any of that. I've been to two home games this year but otherwise I haven't really bothered to watch much of us. It just seems so pointless when the players don't seem to care and have seemingly settled for the lower third of the table. Zero passion and zero fight.
