Hard to disagree with any of that.
This has been public knowledge for ages and the club has done nothing and will do nothing, so no, I don't trust you.
He screwed his brother's chick. Paid for the abortion and ensured his brother could marry a woman who had already cheated on him with his brother. Then proceeded to continue banging said wife. And if I'm not mistaken Rhodri only found out by checking out his wife's phone and finding messages.
Well, yes, but this is old news and the club clearly doesn't see it as an issue. Only those morally outraged Caf members who wanted him gone anyway and are using this as an excuse are making something of it.
Firstly, Giggs as an assistant manager is not really that important a figure. He's been shoehorned in to gain some on the job exposure. Nobody in the media or anywhere cares too much about an assistant manager. A manager on the other hand is the face of the club. He's the guy taking all the key decisions and can shape the future of the football club. So Giggs can take a part time gimp job as AM if be wants, but manager of Manchester United has to A) have pedigree (which he doesnt) and B) be able to handle the media and public scrutiny. So the less the scrutiny on the personal life the better. There's enough of the job of United manager anyway.
Neither do I.
not to me it's not, with respect of course!What a load of drivel!
Yes, you're right. It obviously took you some time to come up with that so I should afford it the respect it deserves!
Here here
nah...stream of consciousness really, I type 90 words per minute......Yes, you're right. It obviously took you some time to come up with that so I should afford it the respect it deserves!
It's so obviously City fans....
Yes, I'm sure that'll be a comfort to his kids.
He didn't give the foetus much of a chance, can't believe anyone is sticking up for this poor excuse of a man!!
Jesus mr Spooney, you've just put me off me kippers!
Don't know mate, banging your brother's wife for 8 years is got to be pretty bottom of the pond scum level. Don't think you can get worse than that on the infidelity scale... You don't need to be some sort of puritan to find that utterly despicable. Some say that his personal life should not factor into whether he should get the manager job. For me however, the job of the United manager cannot be viewed in isolation apart from the human qualities of the candidate. The fact that there are so many against Maureen coming, and that there has been rampant rumors that the board thinks he doesn't have the right personality for the post, should mean that Giggs should not be exempted from scrutiny in this respect.Getting his CV in early for manager of soon-to-be women's team.
He says he's a 'hands-on' type of manager...
Yes, his behaviour has been abominable but let's try and avoid the puritanical stuff - he hasn't quite got to a Berlusconi or Dominique Strauss Kahn kind of level yet.
I really don't think he should be fired but his own self-esteem should make him disappear for a while (if he was capable of being more invisible).
Maybe he'll become a pundit - that would be fascinating
You can keep justifying that to yourself all you like if it makes you feel better. The fact is 2 years ago, nobody cared. I suspect you're partly arguing with me now because you think I'm advocating him for the job. I'm not doing that. I just find it daft that two years ago, nobody cared and in the last few months... everyone is horrified by his past behaviour. It clearly has less to do with that and more to do with them just not wanting him in the top job. There are many valid reasons for that without resorting to this level of political mud slinging which I find a bit sad and needless...
But nobody here actually knows what the current situation is. For all we know he may have split from his wife months ago. Maybe it was a year ago. Some red top writes a story that he was flirting with a PR girl and everyone is 'outraged' but nobody actually knows the situation. It's like, 'well... I want to believe that this is the case, so I will'. It's not as if these newspapers don't have a reputation for printing rubbish.
It's not just this thread though is it? It's been brought up in many a thread wherever Giggs is discussed. Only in the last 6 months though... whereas 2 years ago, not a single mention. Ignore that fact if you want but it is clearly very telling.
Except I don't need "make myself feel better" given I didn't say this is a reason for disqualifying him from the job, did I?
That it does. Although I guess my personal opinion would be that if you would refuse an individual the manager's job on moral grounds... I think they should be refused the AM's job for the very same reasons. If I were making that sort of decision, I'm not sure treating the two differently would sit well with my own morals if I'm honest. Although I guess you're not disagreeing with that yourself.
Yep, agree with this. There is a big difference between this sort of baggage being associated with a player than there is with it being connected to a manager, or any part of the management team. You can't start telling other players how they should behave and then start behaving badly yourself. And I'm not talking about previous behaviour, he was a player then.
How much moralizing does a manager do as part of his job? Do you think managers regularly give speeches to their players on the importance of being a good husband?
Many have said watching paint dry is more exciting than watching United these days....I guess this proves it.
I'd argue that banging your mother in law would be worse. Clearly, you haven't thought about this enough.
watching any MILF porn recently?
Nah mate, I just have a knack for thinking of the worst possible scenarios.watching any MILF porn recently?
Nah mate, I just have a knack for thinking of the worst possible scenarios.
Yeah but that's just very horrific image to hold in my mind...
Nah that's nonsense. If LVG was leading us to a treble then not a single feck would be given by the fans aside from the odd clown here and there.
