Sveis? Syns bare han har noen tjafser som henger ned i nakken, og flinskallet ellers.

Ja. Det var akkurat det.

Like stygg sveis som han er eier.

Kampen mot Liverpool spilles 14 mai. Sykt kampprogram. 4 kamper på 7 dager der.

[Mr. President™]

Da er det bare å stille med tenåringer i morgen og på tirsdag.

[banansplitt™]

Skjer ikke. Solskjær kommer til å kjøre på for fullt alle kamper, også stiller vi med et utslitt lag torsdag mot Liverpool.

[Snikpellik]

Leicester tirsdag og Liverpool torsdag er jo helt spinnvilt 🤯

Fun fact: Solskjær er manageren som har rotert mest på laget i Premier League denne sesongen, i hvert fall var det for tre måneder siden (har ikke sett oppdatert statistikk siden). Vil anta Solskjær er blant de øverste fortsatt, men at kanskje Pep er gått forbi.

Aha, har gått meg hus forbi.

Gi Amad en sjanse da

Ballen er rund. Et tidlig rødt kort...

Det stemmer. Fikk det ikke med meg i farten. Tipper tabellen er et par år gammel da, noe som bare gjør regnestykket enda verre for United sin del per i dag.

Håper så inderlig at Cavani blir et år til, den mannen må få oppleve å score i en hjemmekamp med et stappfullt Old Trafford. Digg spiller, rett og slett

Null problem, blir jo ekstraomganger ved uavgjort. Dermed får Ole to ytterligere pauser for å ha peptalk.

Gratulasjon fra ordføreren i Manchester. Det har vært lokalvalg i Storbritannia i dag, så ikke verst at han tar seg tid.

Fikk tid til denne og, ordføreren:

B-lag mot Leicester midt i der incoming. Det er godt at vi bare har to skader nå, Martial og James.

Skal overraske meg om noen av spillerne klarer å starte både Leicester tirsdag og Liverpool torsdag. Det skal være fysisk helt i grenseland for hva som er mulig. Har sett det skje i juleprogrammet ved noen anledninger før, men det er mye tidligere i sesongen. United har spilt midtukekamp hver uke bortsett fra én hele denne sesongen, noe ingen andre lag er i nærheten av og i tillegg hadde de ikke pre-season.

Hva er vårt beste b-lag? Backfireren er jo grei å sette opp, men midtbanen blir lei uten Fred/Pogba/McTominay hvis de er tiltenkt å starte mot Liverpool. Da er det bare Matic og unggutter igjen.

Blir også litt tynt på topp med Martial og James skadet. Dilemmaet for Solskjær her blir om han skal spille med best mulig lag mot Liverpool, eller stille b-preget i begge de to kampene. 

Solskjær er forresten nominert til månedens manager igjen, kan stemme på han her:

For det første så kunne f.eks. van de Beek blitt spilt inn sånn at man faktisk kunne blitt brukt til rullering. Det er for sent. For det andre så kunne man spart spillere som har spilt alt denne sesongen mot Roma i går. Det er for sent.

Nå må man rett og slett kjøre delvis B-preget mot Villa og Leicester og full pupp mot Pool. Men det skjer ikke. Det blir full pupp mot alle også taper vi mot Pool siden alle er så jævela slitne. At Bruno spilte mange timer hver dag som barn, betyr ikke at han greier det samme som 26-åring.

Det hadde ikke hatt noe å si tror jeg, å spille to kamper med bare én dags hvile mellom går ikke uansett hvor mye hvile de har i forkant.

Villa-kampen på søndag er grei, det er mot enten Leicester eller Liverpool man må spare spillere. Og det valget er vel rimelig enkelt, da prioriterer man mest å prøve å slå Liverpool.

Nytt brev til fansen fra Joel Glazer:

Sitat

Dear Fan Representatives,
Thank you for your letter dated April 30, sent in your capacity as representatives of Manchester United fans. I read the contents closely and your love and passion for the club came across very clearly. 

I want to salute your service to the Fans’ Forum, which I know is a vital channel for consultation between the club and our fans. As I recently stated publicly, I am personally committed to ensuring that we strengthen this relationship in future.

Your heartfelt letter captured the unique spirit of Manchester United, forged through decades of triumph, adversity and tragedy, and still powerfully present in today’s exciting team under Ole and the vibrant fanbase which you represent.

I was personally humbled by parts of your letter, as you explained so clearly why our initial support for the European Super League left you feeling angry and let down. I would like to reiterate my sincere apology for the mistakes that were made.

In particular, I want to acknowledge the need for change, with deeper consultation with you as our main fan representative body across a range of important issues, including the competitions we play in. We also recognise the importance of fan and football interests being embedded in key decision-making processes at every level of the club, and we are open to constructive discussions on how to reinforce that principle.

We remain committed to working with the wider football community to make the game stronger and more sustainable over the long-term, and we will now refocus our efforts on doing this within the existing structures of UEFA and the Premier League.

In addition, I want to reassure you that my family and I care deeply about Manchester United and feel a profound sense of responsibility to protect and enhance its strength for the long-term, while respecting its values and traditions. 

Our top priority is, and will always be, competing for the most important trophies, playing entertaining football with a team comprised of top-quality recruits and some of the world’s best homegrown talent. Under Ole, we feel we are absolutely on the right track.

Success on the field must be underpinned by solid foundations off it. We have supported sustained investment in the team over many years, and that will continue this summer. 

We recognise that we will need to significantly increase investment in Old Trafford and our training complex to ensure that the club’s facilities remain among the best in Europe. As part of this, we will consult with fans on investments related to the stadium and the matchday experience. 

Indeed, one of the clearest lessons of the past few weeks is the need for us to become better listeners. To this end, I can commit the club will engage across all of the issues raised in your letter.

To highlight some specific points, as one of the few European football clubs listed on the public markets, we believe in the principle of fans owning shares in the club. We have previously engaged with the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust on fan share ownership and we want to continue and accelerate those discussions, together with provisions to enhance associated fan consultation.

We recognise that the Government-initiated, fan-led review of football is a positive opportunity to explore new structures for fan engagement and influence. I can assure you that we will willingly and openly engage in the review, with the aim of putting fans at the heart of the game and ensuring their interests are advanced and protected.

These commitments are a starting point for further dialogue, including all the specific points you raised, rather than final proposals. We want to work together to come up with an ambitious package of measures which will transform our relationship with fans and strengthen the club for the long-term. In this spirit, we will reach out to members of the forum to schedule a meeting in which I shall participate as soon as possible after the final game of the season. 

Thank you again for your work for the forum and your passion for the club. I look forward to meeting you and in the meantime let’s look forward to a successful end to the season.

With best regards, 
Joel Glazer
Executive Co-Chairman and Director

Letter to MUST from Joel Glazer, 7th May 2021

I am writing in reply to the open letter from MUST dated May 3rd, which mirrored many themes of the letter from our Fans Forum. Their letter clearly spelt out that our initial support for the European Super League left fans feeling angry and let down. I would like to reiterate my sincere apology for the mistakes that were made.

MUST statement following letter from Joel Glazer

Joel Glazer today replied (copied below) to the open letter sent to him last Monday 3rd May by MUST. This followed on from the letter read out at the emergency Fans’ Forum on the 30th April.

The response could in theory - and we emphasise in theory only - be a change in direction and approach by the owners versus their silence and disregard for communication over the last 16 years. 

We will, however, determine our position based on the resulting actions rather than these words alone. We have seen empty words too many times previously. We will seek a mandate from our members and from the wider fanbase before proceeding. We only wish to engage in this process should our supporters want us to. 

The onus remains on the club to put right the problems of the past, not just the European Super League but the overall lack of communication and consultation by the owners. 

Our primary objective remains to ensure a supporter share scheme is put in place which carries equal voting rights to the shares held by the Glazer Family. This scheme would be promoted to the global fanbase and should in turn build a notable stake in the club. 

Through all this, our goals remain the same and as set out in the Open Letter to Joel Glazer. We want a new Manchester United, with a meaningful shareholding for supporters and a meaningful say in key areas. This is our objective, and there will be no let up until we get there.
