Spending can buy success, but rarely instant success.
RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2016-17 Edition

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
It must be a real killer blow to them that every time they trot out the line 'net spend' they know deep down that the reason we spend so much is due to our success on the pitch. We have so much money, we are so rich, because of the commercial activity drawn to our club due to the success we have had and continue to have.
They know deep down that our spending can't be compared to the spending of City and Chelsea. Our money is club generated!
That has to be a really sore point for Pool fans.
Also, we are on the verge of winning - in the space of 12-months - THREE TIMES the amount Liverpool have won in the last 11-years.
When they try to slag us off, for having a few years' dip in EPL consistency, they must know in the pit of their stomachs that they are talking out of their holes.
Must be a tough existence being so bitter. There is nothing tangible for them to cling their bitterness too. They'd like to say we've been poor in the league over the past few years...but their average finish over the past decade has been 6th. Even in that time, we've won cups, it must kill them. They can't even throw the label 'net spend' at us without them knowing that is a massively bitter label. Uuuugh. It must be sickening being a Pool fan and hating us so much, We give them nothing to go on.

Yes, I know.I was being sarcastic by the way.
What the feck does that even mean? It's a load of tripe, the product of pseudo-intellectual who writes the equivalent of primary school level overwatch fanfiction..
That's the spirit!
Interesting. Not sure when Liverpool became this conveyor belt of leagues and even cups. Net spend, Lawrenson's predictions and alternative football notwithstanding..
They did win the "best overhead kick in the league" trophy this year.
The lack of self awareness..
Well there goes our chance for the treble this year..
Gutted. I demand a re-count.
I don't take Liverpool fans very seriously, the fact they don't win much at all but are able to speak against us is weird. I don't know if they realise, we win whilst being bang average for most of the season. They don't have that winners mentality and it isn't easy to just buy. On top of that they're more inclined to take risks with lesser known players like Can or Karius. Whereas we are buying the Pogba, Zlatan and Griezmanns of the world, poor little club.
I miss the old days when we used to win things, oh wait...
I think the finger pointing and victim mentality is one that's held very close to the club and has held them back for years. There's many of their fans that care more about United than their own team. They are masters of deflection.
'Masters of deflection', quite the title! I'll admit they used to be a scary European team, used to fear them a lot, however, I can't believe their fans can't see their tumble, they have no right comparing their club with ours, not even in the same ballpark.
Expertly put - completely agree with this.
I was a bit hesitant to give them that title as they will count that as another trophy won.
We're so shit and not deserving of CL football next year. Liverpool are fantastic and would win the title of it wasn't for their absolute plethora of injuries. Goodness knows how any club could deal with an injury crisis as bad as Liverpool's this season.
We've been so shite, but win our game in hand and they're a massive 1 point ahead of us. What does that make them? 1 point better than shite?
And they couldn't beat this terrible team either.
Incredible lack of self awareness.

Yeah but they are dead poor and haven't bought a player since Stan Collymore instead relying on a youth system that puts Barca's to shame whereas we have spent 90009988 billion that isn't even ours.
Post some funny rawk quotes or hush up you shower of bastards.
Genius.
LOL every win is a win, even if it's winning in losing.
do 'im, Snowy
Dec 4 - Bournemouth 4 - 3 Liverpool
April 5 - Liverpool 2 - 2 Bournemouth
Still better than them then.
I think he meant that they are a mediocre team capable of the odd giant killing. He has a point, to be fair. Celta were very, very average on Thursday. And they are 11th in La Liga. Doesn't take away their Barca or Real wins.
Or the fact they're in the semi's of the Europa League.
"The feckers are ruining our thread."
I'm gonna police next years thread so hard. Threadbans all over the shop. You'll love it.
Stay on topic please, only things from rawk 2016-17.
1 hour threadban for lols
Please stays on topic. Sigh...

We'll do the moderating, you do the posting.
Currently they are rubbing one out over there about Mbappe "turning us down".
I'd rather be turned down by Kylian Mbappe than Mahmoud Dahoud
Mbappe didn't turn us down. The words 'manchester United' have just been inserted into the Daily Mail's article today to generate more clicks. Standard practice.
I'm assuming they're taking it well that so far they've been barely mentioned in 45 mins of coverage when they're game is due on first?
Liverpool 0 Southampton 0

Nice of them to crack out the pro-socialist banner and then equally distribute the points.
