Thanks - so he has a direct feed to the club?
This is interesting. I’ve always been under the impression that he’s just another ITK wannabe. Is he a journalist?
You can always borrow money for pretty much anything. You just pay more in interest.
Really...? I think I'll take Danny Taylor's word over yours. No offence.
I'm not an attention seeking, wanna be ITK. And I've never claimed to be.
De Brun knows the square root of feck all.
He's not a journalist but does have contacts with in the club for sure if you see the guests that have appeared on his show. Daniel Taylor of the Guardian has even tweeted regards his reliability which speaks volumes imo.
I'd love it if the Glazers fecked off and took Woodward with them. Wouldn't guarantee things would improve but at least we'd have some hope.
New owners is the only way of getting out of this shambles. It's the only chance that they might reconstruct the club properly by hiring competent footballing pros.
He has decent following on Twitter and an opinion... that makes him an attention seeker?
Each to their own, I guess.
He hasn’t even got a Blue Tick. I’m not sold on him, just read through his twitter and people like him are ten a penny on the internet, he doesn’t know shite.
Ok..
Woodward's a good money man. I'd keep him, but not involved in footballing matters.
Yeah no blue tick. Blue tick makes you legit. Why ask questions about reliability when you're only going to dismiss the answer anyway?
I remember reading a post several years ago from someone here who claimed he was a journalist. He stated that this guy just spoke crap and was not respected within the journalism industry. Maybe I got the name wrong though.
The Twitter blue tick means shit these days. All it means is they provided a formal proof of identity to Twitter after they applied for the said blue tick. There’s people on Twitter who’ve got like 200 followers who have blue ticks.
They'd be smart to sell now, as our value is going to plummet once we're relegated.
Look as Adnan mentioned, Danny Taylor vouched for him which is good enough for me.
Are you Pilib? Because if not, your constant defence of him is most odd.
Let people have their opinions of the guy. He isn’t even a journalist yet we’re suposed to believe that Woody has what’s apped him “Hi mate, just to let you know the Glazers are trying to sell the club. You can tweet the news if you want.”
That’s my fear exactly - miserable that such purchases of football clubs weren’t outlawed after what happened to us and Liverpool 10 or so years ago.
Yeah it’s what I’ve been told as well. Him and that Tancredi Palmeri are both laughed at over on the RedDevils sub. It’s how they get careers and followers - by consistently tweeting out “ITK” stuff and hoping it sticks.
They make a career out of it too - sickening really when I have to get up at 5am every morning to do a real job.
Phil Browns always came across as a bullshitter to me. Couldn't give a feck who's he's interviewed on an NBC podcast.
So would lots of people but he cant resist sticking his nose in football matters, trying to turn himself into Perez mark 2 aka FlorEDtino Perez.
Bring on the Saudis and their lovely, lovely money! All hail our evil Saudi overlords, go get those Camel sponsors Woody!
It might be for you, but his record is patchy to say the least.
It's obvious that he has some connections at the club. The suspicion always has been that he uses that fact as a flimsy veneer to invent information for clicks.
The thing is, Howson and a few others have interviewed Cantona etc. It doesn’t mean shite. Pilib is just a giddy fan who wants the best for the club and is trying to make a buck on the back of Utd.
Old saying is when the sh!t hits the fan. Seems the sh!t is firmly hitting the fan(s) at the moment.
So what are your contacts at the club saying then, Dante?
People need to resign to the fact that this will be the first step of our return. Feck off the Glazers and Woodward, bring on the Saudis = best managers appointing, and failed one will be parted off in no time, loads of money spent everywhere on the team, and bringing people who will run the football business better. We need Arab money to compete with City, they'll run the club better and won't see things like waiting till top 4 is impossible to take decisions and this BS.
Hahahaha, how I’m feeling right about now!!
Andy Mitten also mentioned last week in a Podcast with Phil Brown that he had spoke to some Journalists in the middle east and was told something was going on regards a take over. Duncan Castles and Miguel Delaney have also spoke of a potential takeover. Something is going on for sure and the lack of investment in the squad this season could be a indicator.
I don't give a dusty feck about Phil. If he posts something which I think is of significance then I'll post it here. Not like I fecking stalk him. What I don't understand is why people are dismissing him when Ogden, Taylor and Mitten all confirmed that he's reliable for United news. That's most odd. That's what you call an agenda.
They'll name our stadium in the memory of kashoggi.
The Consulate Trafford.
It's okay Adnan. Couple of Caftards don't think he's legit enough for them so it's clearly bollocks.
I'd quit posting tweets and let them stick reading caught offside again.
If the Saudis do takeover at United, then City's short dominant spell will be over.
A Saudi take over. That would cap a wonderful season.
It's not the players which they sign are significantly better. It's the manager.
I think Philip is an attention seeking twat too, but doesn't necessarily mean this particular info is wrong.
Don't think it's an indicator of our transfer plans/sacking of the clown manager though
