It was in the OP, it is a RT apparently. Nothing to see from luckhurst as he was calling someone out.
He's not very good at articulating himself. He should be fired for that first and foremost.
He shouldn't be listening to things the fans don't want to hear.
He's a twat but I don't think deserves to be fired.
It's the only logical reason I can think of for suggesting it's suspicious.
Who actually wrote the first tweet that he's retweeted?
Missed this, what are you referring to?
Why do you suspect that and who is we? He also referred to an Asian fan as an Asian "fan" in another tweet.
I think the problem is that he criticised the people who were desperately trying to will the Fabinho transfer over the line and mocked the associated worship of transfer 'gurus' like Di Marzio. Unfortunately for Luckhurst, twitter is populated by huge swathes of these kinds of people and they haven't taken too kindly to his jibes.
What's up with CAF and getting people fired?
Is there a tweet where he criticises that vile post?
If he's just retweeting that and doesn't criticise the post, then the MEN will take issue with it. It give the impression that the person agrees with the vile point being made and is something he agrees with.
I think he is responding to the false equivalence people used during the whole Suarez/Evra BS.
We realise that. Why did he mention the "idiotic Asian fan"...?
He is right on one thing, there are a huge amount of clueless fans who never go to games
I wonder if fans would prefer the likes of him to be sure on signings that are never happening. Those are more irritating
All we need now is a petition to get him fired 
There is.All we need now is a petition to get him fired
Exactly. If he kept saying we are going to sign him and we didn't they would all moan just the same. Fans want to hear rumours, but that is all they are.He is right on one thing, there are a huge amount of clueless fans who never go to games
I wonder if fans would prefer the likes of him to be sure on signings that are never happening. Those are more irritating
Some people apparently don't.

Thst's fair enough but why bring race into it on the first place? He seems to have a thing for criticising football fans based on where they're from:
@samuelluckhurst
Called a 'rag' by a City fan from Nigeria. Thanks, Twitter.
Like I said, I don't think he should be sacked but he should be educated. Football's an inclusive and diverse sport, and him constantly singling out fans based on origin is divisive to say the least.
Some of our 'fans' on Twitter are an utter embarrassment. Seeing the abuse Griezmann and his brother (a lifelong Utd fan) got for him not signing made me ashamed to be honest. Especially considering he could even end up here next Summer. By the same token I'm not condoning Luckhurst either.
Big picture here mate. Why are you fixated on that part?
How many people actually made that mistaken observation around Leyton orient and oriental
Have you worked out why he said the crux of his tweet aside from the insignificant Leyton orient part ?
I think it's his overall attitude that's annoyed fans rather than him saying Fabinho won't join. I'd noticed on twitter this week that people seem to be getting sick of him. Anyone that disagrees with him is a fanboy in his eyes or has never been to a game. There's ways of engaging in debate without being insulting, I think he'd have less issues if he could grasp this.
Transfer muppets whipped into a frenzy can be a gruesome sight, mob mentality at it's finest.
I've no idea. You could ask him, but I imagine he's rather busy at the moment constructing some sort of bunker for himself.
Indeed.
C'mon guys, petition to get the journalist fired????? Dont like his work, dont watch/read him.
He's prioritised deleting old tweets first.
Funny you seemed pretty energetic, involved and engaged in the whole process when you thought it was the "Orient/oriental" confusion. Even went as far as digging up an old web link on the game...
Why the sudden Apathy?
So you can't answer this, what about what I asked you earlier?
Why does he feel the need to bring someone's ethnicity into debates about football?
Maybe if you can answe that then you'll see why people are annoyed rather than just claiming mobb mentality.
And before you accuse me of playing the race card, I and others also take issue with his homophobia too.
Arguably the worst thread I've seen on here. At least top 10
I intervened to correct a misunderstanding (in fact numerous misunderstandings), which, in part, was fuelling a witchunt to get a man fired from his job.
That's the same question. You're asking me to speculate on why a man I've never met or spoken to wrote something in a tweet 6 years ago. I have no idea.
Agreed.
Absolute shambolic by some of you lot. Deleted around 25 posts related to that apparent second tweet of him.
Some of you need to calm down.
Some of you need to calm down.
It's pathetic.
This Luckhurst witch hunt started after he wrote an article how he sort of criticize fans for believing in some foreign journo (Maybe Di Marzio) about Fabinho. He said that club did not have any interest on Fabinho.He basically stick to his gun that United not going to sign Fabinho and calling us muppets fanboys because of this.
Sounds like a sound lad tbf. The hatred because he spoiled a transfer story. Idiots.
dont know who is more hilarious, Luckhurst or some posters. Good entertainment.He can't spoil anything tbh. There would be logic in defending him if he had a remotely good track record. The fact remains that Di Marzio is far more proven than he is, regardless of if he's foreign. Sam L. Seems to have a problem with foreign fans or journalists in general, which makes him even more of a dickhead.
