    OGS’s luck has run out. Martial, Lingard and, to a lesser extent of bad luck, Sanchez all injured and unlikely to play against Chelsea and Liverpool. That means the painfully slow but wonderfully gifted Mata and the lazy, fat statue will have to play. It’s not going to work.

    Ironic coming from you, Where Spurs can do no wrong, As soon as someone says anything about your bottling club, You go off one or disappear for a couple of days, Like your team does when it comes to trophies.

    I live 250 miles from London now so only manage about a dozen games a season.

    Proper test, let's see how he deals with it.

    The truth is, the decision has to be made and t the end of the season and this has always been the case. United just have to ignore the ridiculous press swingometer and make a cold, hard assessment at season end.

    Personally, never said anything else. If Ole does well, he deserves it. Otherwise it gets offered to Poch and he crawls over dogshit covered broken glass to accept, obviously.

    Not wumming here, but why are you so sure ? Man Utd job is one of the biggest in football. He’d be given a huge budget and a chance to shape one of the biggest clubs in the world.

    He might make it look like it was a tough decision, but if Utd offer him that job then I think he’d take it.

    Yeah, ok.

  11. Why go to a club where so many other good managers have failed in such a short time? His career at the top could be over in less than two seasons at United. He doesn't need to take that risk.

    At United, he'd be an outcast from the start. Hell, the fans and media are even beginning to turn on one of their own, and that's after only one loss to a very good team!

    At Spurs, Poch has everything he needs to carve a niche for himself. I think that's more important to him than the extra cash he might earn, in the short term, at United.

  12. Trophies will come at Spurs, under Poch.

    Wheras he could be drummed out of United in less than two seasons with less than nothing to his credit.

    Is there a timescale for these trophies to come?

    The fans will never turn against Ole. He’s one of the most loved players in the club’s history. You lot may treat club legends like Sol Campbell appallingly but that’s not how things are done at United.

    They’ve been working on a league title for 58 years so it’s a slow burner.

    Yup. Your team is all about youth and energy. Its such a shame that a guy like mata doesnt have the physical attributes as hes excellent at everything else.

    You cant play that lump though, he will probably just stand next to vvd and get eaten alive.

  18. Why should there be ?

    Poch has stated, quite openly on several occasions, that he sees himself staying at Spurs for a long time.

    What's the rush?

    Campbell is not a club legend. The only thing he’s legendary for is being a two faced, lying, money grabbing, self serving ****.
