Manchester United Football Club 20/21

Don’t think so. Man U were a lot of peoples title favourites the way they finished last season. With the scale of the investment and the backing Coach Ole has got in the transfer market, they’ll take some stopping.

Lads were calling for ole to be sacked a week ago.

Probably the same cranks that are calling for Coach Lennon to be sacked now as Glasgow Celtic manager. They’re only happy when they are carping for someone to lose their job.

Coach Ole is doing a great job.

Limerick hurling folk didn’t call for Coach Kiely’s head last year after the Kk semi final . We looked at the bigger picture . Celtic and Man Utd fans would be best advised to follow the lead or Limerick hurling

Always get your change handed to you by a barman wrapped in a small receipt?

Didn’t you make this comment about Conte the season he took over a side who finished 10th the previous season and romped home to the title.

You’re not the brightest Dan.

Long before my time on the forum. I’m only around here just over a year.

Should really be looking to get pogba, de gea, shaw and Romero off the books this summer. Must be the bones of 50 million a year in wages alone.

Cavani looking at 3 game ban for saying Gracias Negrito to a friend who congratulated him on Instagram last night. The world is gone mad

It’ll be some eye opener for Cavani when the crowds are back and the likes of @ChairmanDan are in the stand drinking his ale and hurling abuse at him for being a foreigner.

Precedence suggests Cavani should expect an 8 match ban and a 40k fine.

Incorrect. The incident happened on the Instagram platform and was used affectionately.

Going on the precedence set by the very similar Bernardo Silva Benjamin Mendy incident, and the Delle Alli one, from last season it’ll be a fine and a one-game ban.

Precedence suggests that while it may be affectionate in Uruguay it is deemed racist in England so Cavani should expect an 8 match ban and a 40k ban.

You don’t know what precedence is. Terry and Suarez are similar situations as they occurred on the field of play, during play and were deemed incendiary,

Cavani and Berbardo Silva occurred on social media and were not aimed at causing offence. They were both still wrong and need(ed) to be punished accordingly.

Everyone from Uruguay should just serve a ban of 5 matches after they are signed

That’s probably why Varela played so little.

No Liverpool fans were. I hope he stays for another five years.

The precedent is that a Uruguayan playing in the Premier League called a black person “negrito”. The FA decided that negrito is a racist tem in England. The current pro-racist climate in England might mean it’s a 5 match equivalent ban for Cavani. Cavani has done his international team mate a favour by highlighting the rampant hypocrisy and preferential treatment doled out to certain clubs in the Premier League.

Cavani must be regretting moving to Manchester now where that sort of racist term is frowned upon.

Again, you have no clue what precendence is.

From The Guardian today ‘Social media postings are covered by FA Rule E3, and if a comment is deemed to include a reference to a person’s ethnic origin, colour, race or nationality, then that will be regarded as a potential aggravating factor in any punishment. The rules also make it clear that the owners of social media accounts are responsible for any content posted from their account, whether by themselves or by a third party.’

Maximum three match ban. Likely to be deemed similar to Da Silva and given a one-match suspension.

Additionally Suarez admitted that he did not use the term as Cavani used.
