Hope she doesn’t go on hunger strike.

Got me thinking about Konchesky’s mum. Won’t link cos it’s from the express but

“But since 2015, Konchesky has been involved in another venture alongside his mum Carol. He opened his own pie-and-mash shop in Brentwood”

[Buzzo]

Yeah. His mum stepping in is not likely to work in his favour.

He needs a move so badly.

[Cerbie]

**** does that mean I need to sell my S23? What can i get instead?

Still never bought anything Sharp,

I moved away from Vodafone when they sponsored Utd too - never been back.

[red g]

Yeah. His mum stepping in is not likely to work in his favour.

He needs a move so badly.

Brendan sticking his oar in now too. Everone is on the Harry Bandwagon.

Jadon Sancho has been banished from Manchester United’s first team squad after refusing to bow to Erik ten Hag’s demand for a public apology.

As their bitter public fall-out escalates, Sancho is also understood to feel that he has been a victim of double standards at the club.

Sancho is unlikely to be involved in United’s Premier League game against Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday after he was axed by Ten Hag and ordered to train away from the rest of the first team pending the outcome of his disciplinary issue with the manager.

Ten Hag has adopted the hardline stance after Sancho refused to apologise publicly for a social media post in which he effectively accused his manager of lying over the reasons for his absence in the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on September 3.

Telegraph Sport has learned that Sancho also believes there have been notable inconsistencies in the way Ten Hag has applied certain rules in relation to him compared to team-mates.

That is understood to be one of the reasons why Sancho claimed he has been made “a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair” in his outburst on social media at Ten Hag.

Sancho had also said on X, the microblogging site formerly known as Twitter, that it was “completely untrue” that he had been omitted from the squad against Arsenal because of his performances in training as Ten Hag had claimed.

Sancho finally removed his controversial social media post on Tuesday but there is still no resolution in his row with the manager as the player refuses to back down.

There is also understood to be unhappiness on Sancho’s part that Ten Hag went public in the first place with his grievances and it has also been reported the Dutchman did not have permission to make public reference to the player’s mental health struggles last season.

[Sus]

Long may it continue - Ten Hag using Sancho to prove his hardline standards

[Cerbie]

Another PR disaster incoming. They will claim it is to maintain club discipline, but from the outside it looks like bullying to me.

If Ten Haag or the club released personal health information without his consent that could be a GDPR breech.

It could also be interpreted as discrimination, against someone with a mental health disability.

Hot on the heels of the Greenwood PR **** show, this has the potential to keep them in the mire for a while.

[Sus]

And the fact he's had more than a year to impose his standards on the group, and it looks like a **** show for sure

[Shaggy]

He's crap, Ten Hag, proper pulled the wool over their fans' eyes too - they think he's brilliant and in the same league as Klopp and Pep! Although just lately I know a few starting to turn.

Player complains over footballing matters....gets ostracized in a very public manner and made an example off.


Various players has allegations of sexual and domestic abuse.....let's keep that inhouse as much as possible and also try to test the waters from a PR pov rather than taking a hard line stance against such matters.

There will be a lot of PR spin on both sides - I read Sancho had fallen in with some high profile “friends”, mainly in the music industry and was out late and not at his sharpest in training etc. Could be leaked by United to give context

That’s fair enough, but if they commented on his mental health issues, without his consent, and have now ostracised him from the squad, that can be interpreted as discrimination against a protected characteristic.

All the signs were there last season as well. How many goals did they ship on the road ?

They did well last season and took advantage of a really poor Chelsea side not pushing for a top 4 finish as well as us.

It'll be the Glaziers fault though

[Kenneth]

It’s a manager having to sort out a legacy of ill discipline, **** players he’s inherited on mega wages while dealing with a club who aren’t prepared to lose money to fix mistakes. This looks like a battle the manager needs to have and win if they’re going to get their **** together.
