There have been plenty of indications but the straw that breaks the Manchester United camel back is here.<\/p>\n
We asked for mails about England and you utterly failed to deliver; WGAF apparently?<\/p>\n

Man Utd are not a serious club<\/p>\n
With news that Sir Rat is intending (or at least talking up the intent, leaving enough hope that it\u2019s just talk) to back Amorim for the next two years<\/a> with Bruno determined to stay as he is \u201ccommitted to the project\u201d, and that talks have begun to actively extend Maguire\u2019s contract (the last one could at least be excused as just passively activating the option), I wondered what fans of other clubs recall as decisions your club made that made you hold your head in your hands.<\/p>\n Seriously though, extending Maguire? United are not a serious club. READ: Premier League CRISIS Rankings: Forest 2nd, West Ham 3rd, but what of Liverpool and Man Utd?<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Is only bad luck sustainable?<\/p>\n During Liverpool late winners run of matches, rival fans, journalists and pundits said it is not sustainable. And now when Liverpool is losing to late winners too, is it sustainable or is it only work one way.<\/p>\n (Is it possible to signed four flops in a single window and Slot has to stop over thinking his tactics because he is not Pep) \u00a0<\/p>\n Gambling is a scourge on football<\/p>\n I want to thank Norbuck NZ for his considered response<\/a> to the refereeing conversation, and also how I think he hit on an issue that is plaguing football right now, and that\u2019s gambling.<\/p>\n I saw an infographic recently that showed that 11 of the 20 teams in the Premier League are sponsored by gambling companies. That\u2019s insidious. Tying the sport to something that regularly ruins lives is not good for the overall image of the sport. I\u2019m focusing on Gambling here, but other examples are sleeve sponsors like my own club\u2019s Visit Rwanda, or the copious marketing of alcohol too.<\/p>\n When you watch any on television, every break you\u2019re bombarded with messaging for ACCAs and deals, and live opportunities, and it is so relentless that you either cave to the idea or you form a kind of blindness to it.<\/p>\n Match days are no different, advertising hoardings, adverts in programmes. It is so buried in it is like a parasitic tick.<\/p>\n And that isn\u2019t even taking into account that gambling has on the young men and players. I know there are rules so players are not allowed to bet, but we\u2019ve had betting scandals in the past and if you don\u2019t think it is going on now, I\u2019ve got a bridge to sell you. You can regularly read of young players who\u2019s lives have been damaged by this addiction, and it is an addiction.<\/p>\n We talk about protecting the game, but I think that should include everyone who plays, and everyone who watches too. I\u2019m not saying there is an easy fix here, but I would love to hear the mailbox\u2019s opinion of whether this is a problem, or maybe I\u2019m just being soft. \u00a0<\/p>\n Responses to the gammon of the last Mailbox<\/p>\n
