It's confusing but I think he means Manchester United. The name is so common and ten-a-penny it's always worth clarifying.

Welcome to the Heroes & Villains forum. Thank you for taking the time to read these guidelines, or 'rules' if you must!

Be nice to each other.

Too many forums are destroyed by petty bickering and fighting. At the end of it all we're all fans - you may disagree with somebody's point of view, but please respect their right to have it and express it on here.

Supporters of other teams are welcome to post here - but you will be banned if you step out of line.

As he hasn't stepped out of line, he deserves to be on the end of your little tantrums as much as any other poster. So pack it in.

Apologies to any one offended by my language / tone (apart from one)

I just have a pathological hatred for anything to do with that club and its glory hunting supporters and to have one come on here with such sanctimonious shit about being ethical and i saw red

Apologies again

I'm really frustrated by the way that Man City have cynically set-out to distort the competition, and would be pleased if they were punished in a substantive way. They seem to be the most extreme case, but the financing of other clubs such as Chelsea has also had a negative impact on the competition, and I struggle to navigate through what is legal and what it ethical.

My understanding for example  is that Man Utd don't seem to pay any tax despite making huge profits, due to the way they have been structured. That also doesn't seem to be quite right. So they can f**king do one too as far as I'm concerned.

It would be pretty hilarious if they were relegated, unless it means Man Utd start winning things again of course. A 15 point deduction would be great though, hopefully paving the way for Arsenal to do it. At least it would be someone that hasn't won it for a while, and hasn't bought it in the same way Man City and Chelsea do.

Fucking Man Utd. The original team that just tried to buy the league with all the big money signing Fergie was making between 87 and 90. The original big corporation and the poster boys for the revolting Sky juggernaut of the 90s. The most graceless fans in the country. Fuck 'em.

I would have thought you guys were a similar sized club to city before their riches

In the sense of being the biggest clubs in our respective cities? Yeah, probably.

In all realtity the more I think about it, the more they have to be relegated if they are found guilty of even 50% of it, otherwise FFP would be dead.

From what I understand, they are accused of systematically breaching the rules for a decade.  This isn't a breach, it's a complete deception of the rules., which has massively distorted the competitiveness of the of the league in their favour.

I wonder which manager was having his salary topped-up off-book ? Mauricio the Pellegrin-looking Falcon ?

You really are a special breed. Forget what goes on at the top of the Prem and go enjoy your tallest dwarf competition with Birmingham, Wolves and West Brom.

Can you not find other Man Utd fans to talk to in Swindon?

*snorts with derision*

Unreal isn't it.

When Ferguson became manager of MU, only Liverpool had more trophies than Villa. So I assume he thinks MU were the same size as MC until Ferguson took over?

A great first post, a few sideways looks from us with posts 2 and 3 and the wheels came off on posts 4 and 5.

We hardly even got to know you.

If the Gillingham defence had maintained their concentration for 30 more seconds none of this would ever have happened.
