I don't think you can rate their 'business' in this way. Their injuries are bad luck, maybe a mistake on Ten Hag's count in playing a marginal player for one of them, but it's not a knock on the recruiting team. (I'm actually a bit skeptical about the quality of their signings, but we'll have to wait to see) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I think they'll be a car crash again this season, same as last. Ten Haag sacked by Xmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First impressions are the same as when Apple switched from x86. Massively better battery-life and a pretty good translation layer for x86 apps at launch. And the more we rely on webapps, the less we are dependent on this translation-layer. And native apps are increasing all the time. Qualcomm are at the forefront of a potential massive shift in the laptop-space. Early days but I would not dismiss this.

But the consumer isn't buying the processor, they're buying the product that uses it and largely ignorant of whatever processor is behind it. The laptops are Asus, Lenovo or Microsoft, the android phones are Google or Samsung. My point was they don't really benefit from being on the front of the shirt. Maybe they're planning to move into the laptop space themselves, I hadn't heard that, but most average consumers aren't really buying that laptop because it's got a Snapdragon processor. I imagine the money they spunk on then is for corporate level benefits and association. But thinking about it more, United are such a huge brand that any association with them is going to get them major exposure. Hopefully if United go through a sustained down turn they'll start losing these baked in benefits they get. Shows how we really need to sustain our success to get anything close to what they do when the betting company ban comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Maguire, Rashford, Casemiro and Evans all starting six days before the first league game so this great revolution hasn't really happened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when they put their Norwich scarfs away because SJR was the start of a new revolution at the club? All he’s done is piss off the office staff and beg the government for a £2b stadium.

He’s copying what Ronaldo did, it’s a bit weird that he’s still doing the tributes to him. Once maybe, but he even did the Siuuuu bit first too.

sidcow Posted August 19 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19 (edited) I always feel disconcerted when I meet an adult Manchester United fan. It just feels like something they should have grown out of by now, like watching Wrestling or riding a bike with their arms folded.
