Fairytale of Ten Hag

It was Christmas Eve Jim,
Down at Carrington,
Murtagh says to me, we won’t see another one.

And then he sang a song,
You’re getting sacked tomorrow,
I turned my face away, and dreamed of the Eredivise..

Got on a lucky one,
Lost by two goals to one,
I’ve got a feeling, this year we’ll be top four,
So happy Christmas,
I love you Jimmy
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true..

They've got pace, they've got Sheikhs, dodgy rivers I'm told,
And the teams pass right through, it's no place for the old,
When you first came along to the Premier League,
You promised me glory was waiting for me.

You were handsome, you were pretty
King of Amsterdam City
When de Jong finished playing they’d be howling for more,
Fletcher was grinning and Murtough was singing
Arnold watched on from his local bar..

The boys of the New York Stock Exchange are chasing a payday,

And the bells are ringing out for the close of trade.

The boys in the MUFC squad are downing tools again,

And the fans keep turning up,
For groundhog day..

You're a bald, you're a fraud,
You're an old billionaire,
And this club has been dead,
Since the Glazers' bought red

Yeah they're scumbags and maggots,
They were cheap lousy faggots,
But they let you buy all
Of the Dutch that you want

The boys at United's scouting ranks
Have had no fecking say,
And the squad's mismanagement
Ain't gone away

We would need to pay Chelsea compensation for Potter. No way we do that for an interim. If he comes, it would be as our next permanent manager.

I’m inclined to think they have made up their mind already and if Ten Hag stays they will support him with the new structure to consult and back him with decision making.

If not, they’ve already spoken to the new permanent manager and he’s lined up.

They will want to act decisively without the dithering of the past.

Its a funny old game
I'm guessing the leech Glazers are rubbing their hands together at the thought of the ESL being back on. The latest delay is they have changed their minds again and now now want twice as much money off SJR

why would we be the first club to make a statement against if the owners want it?

ESL is dead.

I would think Ratcliffe will be involved in the ultimate decision. Blanc will make his recommendation and I imagine so will the other football people.

Can I ask why? We’ve had 18 years of being owned/run by clueless businessmen, and with all due respect Sir Jim is no more qualified than the Glazers when it comes to football. I’d personally much rather he simply hires best in class people in every position of the sporting hierarchy and lets them do their job.

If Ten Hag is sacked it’s the most likely option I think

Nothing since the anonymous sources if they exist are quite obviously not first team members and they seemingly have a lot of bad things to say about Murtough.

You will have to look far and wide for people who have a bad word for Murtough at Carrington, He is genuielly a nice guy and will go out of his way to speak to you, Footballing wise is another matter, working at Carrington you hear different stories about the first team not looking him for various reasons.

Depends where, in what context, and in what century. I've chosen to use the 1600s meaning to highlight how the Glazers all look like natty old hags who would sometimes be burnt at the stake.

And since Sir Jimmy is ancient himself, it's probably the meaning that he would be most likely to use, thus fitting into his character in the lyric.

I think he has about a hundred and twenty five million reasons to be involved. I find it unlikely he will make a decision without the input/advice of his hired football people, but he will be involved in the process.

That will be the fundamental (and crucial) difference between him and the Glazers.

The point is that the sources that criticized Murtough heavily aren't first team members, the criticism are linked to front office stuffs. Which makes your premise wrong, maybe Murtough is also disliked by the first team but the anonymous sources aren't part of that group unless for some strange reason first team members are asked to work on projects that are supposed to be left in executives trays?

Some of the people who talked to the press, if they exist, are "back office" people, they gave it away by giving too much details.

Further to this


faggot
1
[ fag-uht


nounSlang.
  1. Offensive. a contemptible or dislikable person.

    So while it has derogatory and extremely offensive connotations in terms of homosexuality, there is no homosexuality implied by the rest of the lyrics and therefore it’s reasonable to assume this is a more likely definition of the word given the context of the song.
