Will do wonders for morale.

I spotted this the other day. The closed season for their players even shorter simply due to greed. These things take their cumulative toll, their shit players will be more knackered next season.

It's such a shame.

It's such a shame.

It is for the club's 200 low-paid employees who lost their jobs in the wake of ManU's midweek loss in El Crapico

I think it's reasonable to feel sympathy for the low-paid employees, not have any sympathy for the incredibly well-paid players, and think the owners are total arseholes all at the same time.

Not even a smidgeon of sympathy for the players being flogged to death in pursuit of the bottom line? A tad harsh. IMHO, like

No. They're Man U players.

No. They're Man U players.

Fair enough

 

[Easy 10]

If you've ever wondered what a shit-eating grin looks like...

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Just enough time for them to recover for the start their PRE-season at the Summer Series in the US!

Just think of the Air Miles, though

 

[OzMike]

They just want to prove how shit they are on the international stage.
Bet they don't win any games.

Poor buggers trying to put a brave face on being hustled out of the country so fast that they never even had time to enjoy a fry-up and a couple of pints of Spirit Of Madrid at the airport Spoons

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Fair enough

To be briefly serious, the players must have signed up for these tours in their contracts, and if they didn't they really need to be asking some serious questions of their agents.

Either that or they're given the choice and say they're willing to play in them for more money, which again is their problem.

Or maybe they willing to play for free, which would be adorable.

If the players didn’t want to go surely they’d have their agents kick up a fuss, no doubt they’ve all got lucrative sponsorship deals to forfil while on the trip so it’s not just the club bottom line that benefits. And they’ve got themselves Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday nights off next season so swings and roundabouts.

It’s not like most other Premier League players are off on their holidays anyway, between full internationals and age group tournaments some players won’t be finished until the end of June.

Newcastle and Spurs did something similar last year IIRC, this is the reality of modern football a done will probably only increase in frequency

Maybe so, but it's not even 24 hours since the end of the season. Just the thing for those aching legs, a 14 hour flight straight after. Even in non-cattle class that is going to hurt in the morning

Which makes it even crazier that out first team head chef is off to Man U, with the behind the scenes interfering and cost cutting. I like the goodbye card he was given though!!
