Its not on the pitch, no it isnt. If you wheel in someone for heart surgery, and the surgeon only has a knife and fork to operate with, something bad is going to happen.

And the patient is sitting up, laughing and playing a banjo.

Its in the boardroom.

This is the tragedy of modern football, its about money.

And Paul Barry has totally failed to fund the club for two years now, he is the architect of the clubs failure. Oh, progress has been made, a beer pump has arrived.

Unfortunately Cambridge fans are like ten year old kids, begging on the streets of London in 1864, no shoes, no food, starving, abused, neglected.

Any scrap of food is like manna from heaven.

The arrival of a beer pump is seen as the club making progress. So sad. Any comprehension of wealth, success, the good life is like living on Mars, and Barry keeps United in a mental state of deprivation, not largesse.

To believe his nonsense today is heart breaking.

Heres why.

Compare the United board to the board of Chesterfield, Notts County, Wrexham, Bradford etc, not only have they redeveloped, but are competing high end for players.

The Abbey is the Shabby, neglected, broken, slumlike. Any improvements will only bring it up to a reasonable standard, not a modern improvement.

United will be swept away by the clubs below them, not only in regards to facilities, but with money. They missed out on signings in jan because they dont have any.

You cant buy players with buttons, but Barry is fooling the fans into thinking it can, buying lame ducks hand over fist, hoping crocks will hit at least a week without a hamstring, groin or whaytever occuring. If you sign enough, maybe the gaps will be filled.

This is a measurement of how poor United are. Barry isnt going to sign a first teamer from any club, regardless of standard, he cant, he hasnt any money. Its like Paddy Rayment wanting to play for Arsenal, poor old Paddy, the worst signing United ever made, a serious embarrasment.

And Rayment is an improvement on that lad whos hamstring went again, on Haustrop, on that useless midfielder.

You know why?, at least Paddy got on the pitch.

1864, those poor kids, theres photos on the internet. 2023, those poor United fans, fools to a man.
