Ah come on now, give them their day. Europa League is in the bag - a good season for the Manchester reds all in all.

Someday they might even become the best club in their town. For any of them reading this, I can tell you all it really feels pretty nice.

There was wasn't a word about them on this thread today, and one comment about Jose and they're in.

Which is amazing considering half of them post in their superthread during matches because they can't handle match threads when their team is shyte, the Lindegaard's of the soccer forum fittingly enough.

Now regular Europa Cup contestants like ourselves, celebrating FA Cup wins, a competition they turned their noses up at before, and going for, what even fans of his admit is a classless manager who leaves clubs in tatters and doesn't care about young players. The United way is officially dead. Maybe Klopp and Someone knew it and that's why they turned them down.

Seriously, Moyes, LVG and now Mourinho. They've ballsed up 2 appointments, this one could be spectacular if it starts of poor for him.

Speaking of which, how much money did we got for the run in the Europa League? Must be a good few million. I know it's nothing compared to the Champions League but silver lining and all that. Money for transfers at least.

That's a fair point. Jose will gut those young players and not give them a chance. At least LVG was giving them a shot.

The thing is that it'll start pretty well, it always does for Mourinho, they might even win the Johnstone's Paint Trophy of Europe (their words, not mine).

It's the second or third season I'm looking forward to, when he alienates half the dressing room, the players down tools and the entire British media absolutely crucify him for it. Waiting for Mourinho to ruin a team is a fun game to play, it's just a long-term one.

About 11 million euro in prize money plus a share of the tv money. Couldnt find figures for tv money but prize money breaks down as:

2.5 million for being in group stage, bonuses for 2 wins (360k x2) and 4 draws (120k x4)
Bonus of 500k for topping group.
500k for round of 32
750k for round of 16
1 mil for quarters
1.5 mil for semis
3.5 mil for losing final (winners get 6.5)

Did their poster boy ex player say he would hate to see United being happy finishing 4th and winning an FA Cup, saying that is what Arsenal do :eek::P:D

I'd imagine the tv money would make up most of the total money, a welcome addition seeing as i don't expect us to sell 50m+ worth of players this summer like we have done the last two summers.

Total tv money is 150, so probably looking at maybe 8-10 million, although thats pure guesswork on my part

TV money for the Europa is pretty good, the year Chelsea won it they earned more than any English teams in the CL.

Enrique control pad would have been a better option than Moreno on Thursday

SuperTortoise

I wish Skrtel the best, although his game has went to pot at an alarming rate in the past couple of years he put in many a fine shift for us throughout his years.

No offence mate, but so much of this ranges from one-eyed nonsense to actual lies. They didn't turn their noses up to the FA Cup. Ever. Show me a club that Mourinho has left in tatters. He leaves acrimoniously, but never with a team of bad players for the next manager. Oh, and he usually wins a title or two along the way. And give up with this United/Liverpool way bollocks. That is misty-eyed nostalgia that means nothing in the hyper-global mega corp of English football in 2016. Also, this is United's first post Fergie season where we start off in the Europa league. So regular Europa contestants is a serious stretch. By your understanding of trends we are now regular FA Cup winners. Which is nice.

You usually seem a fairly level headed poster, but this Mourinho stuff seems to be giving some of you guys the vapours.

Mourinho must feel like a right tit after his embarrassing audition for the United job failed only to have them come begging for him a few years later. Wonder if Guardiola will break him again? I'm already looking forward to year 3.

But Chelsea won after already being in the group stage of CL. Arsenal and United got knocked out in the round of 16 so they only played 2 CL games more than Chelsea, who had 7 EL games.

The media are rubbing their hands together. Weekly insults to opposition managers, those are headlines that write themselves.

TV money for the Europa League is more this season with BT paying so much.

Then there is only split between 3 teams Liverpool, Spurs and Man Utd

Utd played 4 games
Spurs played 10 games
Liverpool 15 games

It seems to be around the 22m mark, i think that's all in.
CL winners stand to make around the 80m so that seems about right?

Nice pick up all the same.

If reports are true about Skrtel that's the first time this year he's read a situation well and acted decisively.

When he said regular europa league competitors like ourselves, he meant Liverpool obviously. I assume you misread and misjudged his entire post.

Eh. ye boycotted the Fa cup to go play the FIFA world club championship. A move that many people attribute as the beginning of fall from grace of the competition itself. If you're gonna come in here and make bold statements, with.full.stops.for.dramatic.effect, at least know your history and make factual statements. It's tiresome having to constantly correct you ill educated utd fans.

Blazer

as much as I slag Liverpool there's no way they're interested in Shane Long which they are according to the independent.

http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/premier-league/liverpool-ready-to-do-battle-with-leicester-for-shane-long-34735770.html

13 goals in 32 games...thats' crap for a striker no matter what way you look at it and besides he's 29. This is his best season so that's not really saying much.

NukaCola

Shane Longs a decent player, but nothing we dont already have.......cant think of a single reason that we'd go for him but the rumours never seem to go away...

"Those close to the situation feel it would take a bid of at least £25m to even tempt Southampton"

That price for a 29 year old Shane Long is beyond comprehension....

I suppose that makes you a better poster or member of the boards community? I watched on Facebook ( which I hardly ever use these days so probably missed half of it ) as Liverpool fans changed their profile pics to an Eagle or the Palace crest... Muppet fans in work on a wind up about how United missed out on 4th.... most of it was banter etc.

I frequently read the Liverpool and other team threads. I don't mind Liverpool as a club at all actually. There's other clubs higher up on my no likey list I saw the "Salford" comment and I replied with "bless". Then the you're in our thread after winning something lol kinda posts comes out, armed with the 5 or 10 we've got your back thanks.

I replied a tiny bit cheekily to a tiny cheeky comment in the Liverpool thread that a frequently read after united winning something. No harm. If it made you guys lol then cool hopefully this post makes you smile too. I know I'm smiling right now.

An upcoming transfer window wouldn't be complete without a shame long link.

We have Ings and Origi. Need need for a long type player unless we are shipping one of those out which I'd be certain we are not.

Benteke will go and perhaps a higher calibre of player to replace him.

He is saying that United are regular Europa league competitors. I don't see how what you said fits into that sentence at all. And how have I misjudged the post? Take the Pool glasses off for two minutes, read it again and point out to me what isn't a bitterly slanted opinion

@mormank: United did not boycott the FA Cup. They were strongly encouraged by the FA and the British Government to take a year out in order to attend the World Club Cup, which they believed would help with a world cup bid for England. But I don't expect you to know that because internet point scoring > actual facts.

So the FA Cup has now become the best thing ever? United always loved it and to win it is such an achievement United fans want to see what everyones talking about, and if anyone says anything negative we'll all get a lecture about how wrong we are and how our fans were cheering for Crystal Palace so we deserve stick back.....this despite the fact that there was maybe 2/3 posts in this thread about it that were immediately jumped on...

The FA cup is football's equivalent of the Eurovision Song Contest. Everyone cares about it until they can't win it and then complains that who ever won it is overplaying it's importance.

I watch it when Liverpool are in it, its a good comp to win, it just wouldn't compel me to see what everyone thinks about if we won it......i'm not complaining about fans celebrating winning it, it just seems weird to me that posters want to come into a different teams thread drop a few snarky comments and derail the thread....

As the final whistle was going yesterday (the posts were up within a minute) ,3 or 4 utd fans I'm friends with on facebook had posted about Liverpool. It's odd that its the first thing they think of.

Just for the record, I'm not derailing any threads. I responded to a comment from a Liverpool fan about United which I believed to be wildly misinformed. No "liverpool r shyte" bollocks or anything remotely tribalistic.
