Why would the Chevy deal be dirty? General Motors trades on the NYSE. The management and directors can go to jail for dodgy deals. Why would they risk it over something so small?

I wrote a couple of posts on it during the time and there was some insightful article on Bloomberg or somewhere else too. The deal was 100% dodgy, the guy who closed it was brought in shortly before and fired immediately afterwards. To be clear I don't think Chevrolet or GM did it because there was something in it for them, this seemed more like some rogue executive doing United a favour.

The leaks are pretty nauseating but it’s nothing we didn’t already know.

People risk jail for gains big and small all the time.

Those football leaks apparently show that Chelsea have been illegally trading players under 16. This article states they could potentially face up to 4 transfer window bans... 

We need someone to actually care about the rules in football. Chelsea, PSG, City. Let's see some action please.

I see they got Switzerland to throw the game against Qatar so they can pad their record in advance of the WC.

Lingard is an incredibly underrated player.

I’m not sure how I feel about Lingard as a player. He had a purple patch last season that lasted a fair amount of time, where it seemed like everything he tried came off. Then he reverted back to being as average as he has been for most of his career.

He’s got some talent in him but he doesn’t show it enough. If United were serious about getting back to the top I think he’d be one of the ones they should be looking at shifting.

I'm pretty sure about how I feel about him for what it's worth. He's an ugly talentless piece of shit and I hope he plays his whole ugly ass career for United.

Oh yeah, he’s a huge chode of a person.

But every time i think he’s got nothing going for him he does something like the above to make me feel otherwise.

Incredibly average player mate.

That's a nice goal but even Charlie Adam scored some nice goals in his career.

Don't be fooled by Klaus post either. Klaus generally knows what he's talking about but every now and then he loses it and writes some completely insane shit. Like Lutefisk is food or Lingard is a good player.

I agree with Klaus for what it's worth, and that's as much of an endorsement as one could hope for.

He's still a prat though.

Lingard, not Klaus.
