Over the course of mankind people have had meteoric rises only to experience an all-mighty fall.
Susan Boyle, David Moyes, Rick Astley and EastEnders’ Ian Beale are just a handful of people who have seen heavy falls after touching the stars.
Well now you can add one more to your list – one whose rise and fall takes place over just four days.
A Manchester United fan created the Totally Man U account on Twitter and announced to the world on Sunday that he had left his job to start this account and hoped to ‘bring happiness to United fans around the world’.
He certainly brought happiness to his legion of fans – only not quite how he intended.
“Follow my incredible journey,” Totally Man U’s CEO said.
Indeed, it was an incredible journey, if a little short-lived. Let MM take you back to where it all started…
I left my job to start this account and I hope to bring happiness to United fans around the world. Follow my incredible journey.

The decision to leave my job to start this account wasn't easy. Please respect my privacy at this time. My focus now is on #TotallyManU.

As founder of TotallyManU I would like to take this time to state that I am deeply saddened if anyone is offended by the name of my company.

Representatives from TotallyManU have been on the phone to @ManUtd for the last 2 hours. We are hoping to speak to Ed Woodward this evening.

It gives me intense displeasure to break to you that we were unable to speak to Ed Woodward this evening. We will try again. #TotallyManU

People call me crazy for quitting my job to start this account. I don't care. I'm here to break news to United fans. It's my job now.

The overwhelming support I have received has not gone unnoticed. As CEO of #TotallyManU I would like to thank all of you for the support.

Really low turnout tonight for the TotallyManU Instagram party. I have to say I'm very disappointed.
— Totally Man U (@TotallyManU) August 19, 2014
It seems the poor turnout for the launch party was a landmark moment for Totally Man U and its enthusiastic CEO.
Reality appeared to set in as the founder realised he may just have made the wrong call in his new venture.
Well it's safe to say I well and truly fucked up. I shouldn't of quit my job. My followers are a waste of time and I've had shit support.

What a fuckin disgrace you've all been

I left a well paid job to start a twitter account where I could break news to united fans. All I've done is receive abuse. Fuck off all of u
