Honestly I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if we're still behind the times. Rangnick often pointed out how inefficient the club was. LvG and Mourinho have also said similar things.
Last year we sacked senior members of our scouting staff just before the summer window opened, the ineptitude runs deep at our club 😅
I can help out if needed, but I only use Lemmy on a third party app so I'm not sure if mod tools are available.
Lol true, Lemmy already building its own lore.
Hey, thanks for the source! Oh my goodness, this is awful. I'll have to go through this court filing.
Tbf a bean toastie tastes amazing
The sequence of events from Elon Musk acquiring Twitter to now is an incredible journey.
Elon Musk bought a social media company for tens of billions, attempted to back out of the deal but couldn't because of his ineptitude by signing away the ability to reneg on the deal.^[1]
Then there was the freedom of speech advocacy from Musk where he ultimately unbanned racists and then began sharing bigoted Tweets. But it's only freedom of speech for his bigoted supporters, when authoritarian governments ask Musk to censor people/tweets he abides by their requests.^[2]
The site becomes inundated with the alt right, it's become rife with bigotry.^[3]
There was the whole verified blue check mark debacle where verification became something you could pay for, with people making fake "official" accounts. For example a fake account impersonating a pharmaceutical company caused their stock to drop abruptly following a satirical tweet.^[4]
Twitter engages in mass layoffs and multiple things break on the site. There are also reports that they can't pay rent in certain locations across the globe. Twitter is hemorrhaging advertisors, as they record a 59% reduction in advertisement sales.^[5]
Elon Musk posts tweets seemingly apologizing for some of the changes and says he will follow the will of the people by posting polls for users to vote on policy changes. Musk asks if he should step down, to which the majority vote in favour of his removal. He then goes on a tirade about bots after losing in the poll. He goes on to say that only paid subscribers will be permited to vote in future polls. Vox Populi, Vox Dei.^[6]
The crème de la crème is Elon Musk implementing a new restriction where you have to be logged in to see tweets and restricting the number of tweets you can view. Inadvertently DDOSing his own site.

It's one of the reasons why United supporters say we're not a very well run club. Our transfer nous has been subpar since Fergie and David Gill retired
Hey o/
Yea truth be told I still visit r/soccer and r/reddevils to catch up on football related news every morning/evening. The communities on Lemmy are still growing and while the more popular communities are very active, niche communities like sports will take some time.
Check out the football community on Lemmy, it's starting to get active. I've recently started posting too.
I'm not sure how to link directly to a community, so here's a link to one of my posts. You can click on the community and subscribe https://sh.itjust.works/post/701657
Hey cool, you run an electronic music community. I just subbed!
Definitely would like it in the Premier League!
Another thing I'd like to see is an end of players surrounding referees. Should only be captains, refs get too much abuse and it trickles down to grassroots football, then we wonder why there is a lack of quality when the pool to select referees is small/close knit.
