Roxy Hearts Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Not surprised. Man United's worst start in years. I wonder who the new manager will be? Not a lot out there. Quote
jambo89 Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Man Utd need to accept that they are a mid-table / top 8 team nowadays (see Newcastle). As soon that mindset changes, they can begin to look forward and enjoy their football again. Quote

SectionDJambo Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 They've got the same problem they had when they had to replace Busby. Expectation levels give any new manager pressure to make things happen right away. They came close to sacking Ferguson, who was one result away from it. Quote

Life Aquatic Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Gareth Southgate... Pure snoozeball at old Trafford. Doubt he'd last the season. Quote
periodictabledancer Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Apart from Fergie, I cant think of anyone with less charisma or warmth. The players must be delighted to see the back of him. God knows who they get next although Southgate would be hilarious. Quote

Pasquale for King Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 (edited) He spent £616.8m, half of what Chelsea have, but the majority of his signings haven’t been good enough. Most of them guys who played for him before so you would imagine they didn’t down tools. Edited October 28, 2024 by Pasquale for King Quote

A_A wehatethehibs Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 They should genuinely look at bringing David Moyes back in tbh Quote
MoncurMacdonaldMercer Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 has neilson done enough in the USA to put himself back in the picture for one of the epl top jobs Quote
Seymour M Hersh Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Boooo! He was doing such a good job. Quote
RustyRightPeg Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Poisoned chalice and nothing more than a guaranteed payout. They need to empty the high earners in that group of players, including your Rashford’s, Fernandes and Maguires’ for any success to come. Quote

Muppetboy Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 The chances they missed yesterday were criminal, especially dalot, tho the inevitable was coming sometime surely Quote
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 I don't know why they didn't go for 11 Hag at the time. Quote

jock _turd Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 They have been poor since SAF stepped away. I think he built them into a team that is regarded world wide as being great but are they that level of team? Personally I don't think they are that level now and who knows if the will be up there again. SAF built a team and then tuned it from season to season. That team has gone and now they are a collection of individuals. Quote

Whoever came in after Fergie was never going to live up to his legacy, but over the last few years the regularity of the heavy defeats and absolutely dreadful performances - most recently the Spurs match - means that many people have just come to expect those sorts of result. It will be interesting to see who they turn to next. Quote
Tazio Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 It’s the Ineos/Jim Radcliffe effect. Ineos bought Team Sky the dominant team in cycling, they’re now in chaos and not winning anything. Ineos became a sponsor of Mercedes F1 just as they went on the skids. Then he invested in Man Utd. The man is a jinx. Quote

Horatio Caine Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Radcliffe probably has Dick Campbell on speed dial Quote
N Lincs Jambo Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Interesting to note that out of Man U’s 20 league titles, only two weren’t won with either Busby or Ferguson in charge. Quote

No chance he leaves the project at Villa where he has major input into everything for the shambles at Old Trafford whereby he'd be working under numerous individuals. He would be a very good target though. Quote

He should never have got the job. Quote
