Pretty naff prem league this year. No genuinely top notch team. No real title race. Far too many CL places up for grabs for that to be a particularly interesting race. Two of the worst teams the prem has ever seen at the bottom. All a bit of a grind-fest so far this season.

Worth a change in management?

This cannot carry on can it?

Think if they employed this bloke you have to take the view he deserves a summer to get his own players and system in and have a crack at a much easier task of getting promoted again and being in a better place than Martin had them in August. Appreciate he seems clueless but it was always going to be a huge challenge to get that squad to a respectable points total let alone safety.

Relegated teams have to be properly awful to not get at least playoffs. With parachute money and selling Dibling for £40m or whatever they’ll just get the same ‘too good for the second division, not good enough for the Prem’ players every other team does and be up there by default.

Can't see him being here next season. Think we were only ever gonna appoint someone to be a fall guy for the rest of the season and then have a fresh start in the summer.

Next year is your year under this bloke whose name I can’t be bothered to either remember or look up.
 
United - first thing Radcliffe should have done was to take measures to ensure the Glazers don't continue getting dividends - or that the dividends they do get have to be offset against the debt they put the club into ...

I hadn't realised quite how bad the financial situation was and just how much interest they are having to pay annually (c £50 million) ... the fact that the club was completely debt free before the Glazers is truly mind boggling ...

Some very bizarre results now making this genuinely quite interesting. But I still think 5 places means there isn't much genuine jeopardy as I don't see a 'big' team missing out. Liverpool, Arsenal, City done and dusted. I think Chelsea will get 4th quite easily too which leaves one spot. Hopefully Forest steal it from Newcastle if only to make the Summer transfer window more interesting for the Isak scramble.
