I would say that this shows what a desperate financial fix they're in.

Change their name and don’t give them access to the scouting data and if found they have got it from a third party sue them for use of intellectual rights

Surely then if they are being sued for using the world Manchester United to their benefit then every newspaper in the world faces the same action, as by their theory are gaining publicity based on the Manchester United name. Load of shite.

They could just call them “The Other Team From Manchester”. That would go down well 😀

Load of shite. Maybe you will be sued twice now for using their name in your post?  I'd be personally happy if no one ever mentioned their name again! |

Non-League is much the same as any football, anybody does well at any stage and they are looked down on especially if they are new kids on the block. It doesn't take much to be disliked. There are some ultra conservative types in the nether regions of non-league, and I say that as someone who generally prefers the non-league experience. It adds to the quirkiness of it. It's always tough for the others when these teams are formed and steam through leagues. After their initial successes they stalled abit have had a lot of internal politics going on, but that's nothing new in football either. I suppose the distrust comes from their followers being associated with a successful League football, then seemingly hijacking the sacred turf of non-league football, its like they are imposters encroaching on some else's territory. I always personally like it when you get teams like FC United coming into the fray, it stirs it up abit, I've really enjoyed going to remote places like Stocksbridge where they struggle to get crowds of 100 and then 800 FC United fans suddenly turn up and cram into a small terraced stand usually occupied by a bloke and his dog. |

That’s most. Opening game between Argentina and Belgium wasn’t even shown live in the uk. |

Kind of backfired as Belgium won. |

It's entirely to do with their supporters behaving like absolute bell ends on a regular basis. |
