And they're bringing in the manager of Ajax, a club that has a structure in place that virtually any top league manager in Europe could head up and do well.
How the **** is he gonna sort that huge pile of stinking ****e out? <laugh>
By instilling a structure and getting some players with passion and effort maybe?

You know a couple of years ago I thought a decent manager and a couple of good signing and Utd will back in not much time.

Now though, they just seem miles off.

Its not just the squad either.

The whole club is honking.

They badly lack management - both from the owners, the manager himself and the leaders on the pitch.

Team has no bottle or spine.

No bollox.

Agree on most of that but a bit harsh when we don't have a manager.
 
The idea that United, Arsenal or Spurs could come in the top 4 suggests we have too many CL places to be fair.

All three range from bang average to pretty good on their best day but are miles behind the top 3.
 
Not sure why SKY bothered broadcasting that match tonight, so one sided, lots of lower league matches I'd much rather of preferred to see. Clearly the rest of the Prem League want to hand 4th place to Spurs, gift wrapped by recent performances of the challengers, despite Spurs attempting to give the others a chance by losing at the weekend.

Yeah I'm sure your owners are going to sanction a multi million pound rebuild.

They've sanctioned it and then some. Circa £250m net spend over the past 3 years with a huge increase in wage ceiling to accommodate the likes of Ronaldo and then a willingness to lose players like Pogba and Martial on free transfers.

The club has been caught in a rut of appallingly ill advised decision making for years. Money isn't the problem and never has been, how and when it's being spent is.

Latest case in point being the silly decision to award Bruno Fernandes with a new 4 year contract doubling his wages when he has had a truly awful season.

Panic is the new strategy there, and long may it continue.

Do you think they'll do it again?

While the idea that all were invited to join a European Super League representing football's finest is the stuff of award winning comedy.
 
I'm talking about spending millions and millions again to revamp the squad, it's not happening.
We will probably have to sell sell some to make space which will bring a little money in (Rafas net spend thing) but OK, you keep telling yourself we won't spend :emoticon-0105-wink:
