Some background:




After the 4-0 defeat at Brentford:

Cotterill should be banned from Old Trafford. Seems very bitter.
Seems a bit full of himself. He's launched a feud all on his own, before the man was even through the door. His tweet about "karma" just shows you that he thinks the universe revolves around him. "The universe made Ten Hag lose a match badly because he snubbed me." is next level self-absorption.

ETH is a man of great conviction. He does not give one fecking shit what people think or say about him. He’s not fussed about being liked. I actually don’t think he worries about any consequences of his actions or cares that much if he gets sacked one day. He has his own moral code and will live or die by it.

It’s early to say this but I think we made a very good choice getting this guy.

Rather than block this man, ten Hag should put his conduct in the spotlight and question Sky for having such a representative.

If Im not mistaken Sky have Melissa Reddy as the United correspodent (shes a big Liverpool fan but that doesnt matter, shes actually been quite good in her coverage of us).

My guess is she couldnt make the presser and this twat was sent on her behalf. Sky wont be sending him again.

I think he went because he’s the senior correspondent, and is currently based in Manchester covering the Mendy and Giggs trials. I too would guess he won’t be asked again, mind.

He gets his oxygen from our clicks. If United fans stop reading his articles or turn over whenever he is on SSN, he'll either end up sacked, or demoted to some other club.

Time to back the manager. People on Twitter should block the prick and the rest of us should refuse to read or watch anything else he's involved in.
Seconded

Cotterill is an entitled weapon. Also smacks a bit of xenophobia to me... I don't think he'd have acted the same way if it was a good old British Manager.

Anyway, glad ETH isn't giving him the time of day.
He's a Mourinho shill. You're making shit up in your head.

You can be a shill for one foreign manager and treat another completely differently... Plus, Jose is seen as "one of us" for whatever reason.

Maybe he would treat an English manager the same,i just question it... I mean it's not like the press have a history of being harsher with foreign managers is it?

And a twat. It's unbecoming for a man to openly worship another like that, even if he was a great manager. He should get off twitter and back in the kitchen to make Jose's sandwich.

ETH , has blanked the guy already so it looks like he won't be getting any change out of him. I think UTD have upped there security on the new players as well. ..

Did ETH take question from him this time? I think he is still getting snubbed.
