    Ok swap dismantling with devolving.

    He got all the money back to reinvest. He had full responsibility to evolve the team, but he devolved it. That's dismantling imo. Top players get sold at lots of clubs, they don't always get all the money back to invest either, but it doesn't mean they have to go backwards. He had more money to spend than any boss we've had, He built a good team and devolved it with poor replacements.

    Nice Avatar btw <laugh>

    Thanks <ok>

    I'm fairly sure Quinn gets off the hook way too lightly with you lot mind, he obviously negotiated deals for the likes of Wickham and he never had the bollocks to tell Gyan 'sorry pal w can't replace you, wait until January'.

    Like you say you had a cracking squad and it fell apart for whatever reason and you were left with a mangled wreck, it just irks me when he sits as an 'expert pundit' attempting to point out where United's issues are or complaining that Moyes wasn't given enough time, he's hardly got a great track record himself he ran you lot in the red every year he was steering the ship.

    I don't like him at all, but I know you lot do so I won't go into further detail!

    Not me, I'm one of few with the balls to knock him. His contracts were insane and left a lot of average players getting too much money and unwilling to move on.

    I read somewhere the other day that the fee for Lens was equal to the £8m we paid for Anton Ferdinand?

    Say it ain't so! £8m for Rio's gimpier little brother? **** me, what a waste of money.

    That's simply because of your obvious hatred of 'City, which is periodically shown on here, though, Terry :emoticon-0101-sadsm
