    Even if they win it doesn't change my opinion that it's a scummy thing to do, the whole thing is just a sad state of affairs.

    -----------------

    They are trying to wriggle off on a technicality. No way will it be ruled in their favour.
    (but wouldn't it be ironic if that payment pushed them into admin!) <laugh>

    No, it's the money men not the team, manager or fans. :angel:

    'thinks'

    But morally they deserve to be relegated. <devil> #onlysaintsmatter

    Funny how football disappears for three weeks, then comes back at 100mph. Check out the fixtures from Friday night. If we turn up at Brighton & do our job, this is going to be a fantastic week, if not its still going to be a rollercoaster!

    For what it’s worth, I think they’ve made a mistake there.

    It's all a bit Mark Hughes for my liking.

    It depends what their expectations are now, it's unlikely that he will return them to the days of the Fergie dynasty but I could see him getting them back into the CL picture regularly. United are still probably the biggest club in the UK and should be looking to be more than that though.

    Yep, my thoughts exactly. Will be very interesting next season if he can keep the players happy & enthused. IMO he won’t but MU are in a situation where they have no option really (just like Saints).

    What do you mean, he knows what it means to be Manchester United manager, nothing else is important.

    (sarcasm alert, other things are important)

    Me too, but the far bigger mistake will be if they think he fixes all their problems. Apparently the club expected to be challenging for the title this year, so I'm confident they can carry on being stupid.

    Nah, more he steadied the ship and won a butt load of games, but I’d be surprised next season if the same happens.

    The Hughes comparison is just cos he achieved stuff now, don’t ever from the long term strategy. Hughes was never going to work out for us this season and whilst people will always say I told you so, we should have displayed bigger balls and said nope, someone better.

    Same with OGS, I reckon he will see out the season and Poch will be there summer after next. It may be Utds plan all along thinking about it, as I imagine Poch wants to lead them to the new stadium properly.
