It's the Ten Hag revolution.

A bit like Arteta's revolution - but it'll last longer than 6 or 7 games in February and March.

OK, it'll please the Glazers that they don't need to fork out on a load of players who Utd will have to pay double their real value for, as they'll expect a good package to play and not win silverware or 4 or 5 years.

Incomings ahoy!

de Jong, Eriksen, Martinez, Pele, Gascoigne (Bamber), Platini...

Who is going to want the has beens?

Don't suppose the owners of the PL are Qatari yet?

United and Liverpool in Bangkok?

Tickets for Man Utd v Liverpool in Bangkok almost sold out on day 1

I had you down as one of the more clued up on this thread.
It's Manchester United and Liverpool.
Two of the biggest clubs in the world.

There were so many unsold tickets that they had to reduce the price by 50%, then later they were giving them away for free.

Who is it who’s not clued up again?

I can't say I'm surprised, the prices were a fucking joke for a preseason knockabout.

Clueless as usual about top level football.

Do you think you'll sell out tonight for Northampton?

I think moved ahead means are willing to overpay.

I don't think it does.

I think it's because we are Manchester United and you are, um Arsenal

time will tell but from what i've seen in this summers xfer market their targets are holding out for approx 50% more than other clubs are willing to pay which is usually a sign that they view Utd as a purely financial transaction, not a career enhancing one.

…that you can’t get a full house even when giving away the tickets.



And you have to pay shitloads of extra cash in salary and transfer fees to get people to join your Glazer-infected club.

…that even a salary of half a million quid a week isn’t enough for your star player to stay.

Triggered, Cy?

Like most, you've got a bee in your bonnet about the famous Manchester United, haven't you?

Remind me again who you've got tonight.

More desperate than some of the very worst trolls on the board with that one, by the way. Even harry has posted to help you out.

Both teams have huge fan bases in Thailand, so everyone expected that the 59,000+ capacity Rajamangala Stadium would be packed out for the match, until they saw the ticket prices.

Since April 2, tickets for the game – which kicks off at 8pm tonight – were available to buy via the TicketMajor website, ranging in price from 5000 to 25,000 baht. The higher end tickets cost more than a Champions League Final ticket.

The steep prices left many football fans unable to purchase tickets and thousands of seats were left available, until yesterday.

Yesterday, rumours circulated in Bangkok that a ticket booth outside Rajamangala Stadium was selling tickets at 50% off. The rumours ended up being true, and for a limited time, tickets originally priced at 7,000, 12,000, and 15,000 baht were sold at half the price.

Fans who bought full price tickets were furious with the half price discount, whereas others were overjoyed they would be attending the match. By 4pm, the booth had closed, and queues of fans hoping to buy discounted tickets were left disappointed. Until…

Just before 3pm today, a Facebook page called “Advice Club” announced that a limited number of free tickets would be distributed at the Advice Booth at the stadium at 3:30pm. Fans couldn’t believe it.

Sure enough, football fans clad in red shirts raced to the stadium and queued up until all the free tickets were gone.

So, will you ever trust 'The Nation' again?

They clearly just rehashed the press release that the people trying to flog the tickets had sent them.

The one saying most tickets had sold out within an hour.

Were you perhaps a tad too credulous on that?

Somewhat less than 'clued up'?

Manchester Utd the Champions of Bangkok!
