Depressing but nothing we didn't know.
It's the Hunger Games meets Fawlty Towers
It’s standard Mitten fare. Using a lot of words to say very little. Why are we in danger of those teams overtaking us? Where was this insider knowledge when Solskjaer was appointed?
Also hard with the draft too.
Absolutely. To be honest I'm more worried about their capabilities than their intent/ambition.
His management career will be over at the top level anyway if the board don't back him in the summer. Might as well go down swinging.
Draft and salary cap. You are not in complete control of who comes to you and who leaves for a bigger paycheck, that's why the NFL works in windows at the exception of the Steelers and the Patriots with Belichick, no one knows how the Steelers managed to only have 3 head coaches in 50 years.
Amazing how quickly people want to start accepting the unacceptable because .Ole20gend'
Ole doesn't need to sell 10 players to show he means business.
There are many problems at United granted. But an inadequate manager only compounds them.
I think this is what has disappointed so many of us about Ole getting the job permanently. Absolutely no disrespect to Ole who has come in and worked his balls off for the club, but compared to City in particular (and Liverpool are getting there too) it is like arming us with a catapult against someone with an AK47.
This is what i dont understand. If anything, you'd expect a gradual improvement as the new managers methods/tactics etc took hold, but we started with a bang and it showed there was quality in the side and we were seeing a lot more from a number of players, and then we've declined which is the opposite of what you'd expect.
What is frightening is that players are leaving, but the ones who should be leaving won't. People accusing Herrera of being a money grabber, well to me the likes of Jones and Young are money grabbers as they know if they left they would be on a third of the money. They are just happy to pick up their money and drag United into the gutter. I am beginning to hate the team and that is not healthy. I have never felt like that before.
Find me one person who thinks manager is 100% to blame. We all know our board is a joke, we all know Ed is clueless in football side of things and we all know that having a clueless manager doesn't help as well. Each share their blame, first 2 much more than the last but still.
So an adequate manager would solve most problems then?
I would not blame Ole for this, but poor bloke will end up being the casualty.
I read somewhere today that Inter will be paying Godin £111K per week when he moves there - which is roughly what we pay Rojo for contributing the square root of feck all. It's no wonder we can't bloody shift any of them. The time has come to cut our losses, accept that we've messed up massively and just give some of these players away.
He'll be Ed's scapegoat, that's for sure.
Poor Darmian has been desperate to leave and we are quibbling or a couple of million pounds, can't affect the Glazer's pocket money can we?
Think if that happens then the shit will really hit the fan. Sacking LVG and Jose, there was not the emotional attachment to them. Ole is a different matter.
Of course he will be, like in every single club in the world manager is the easiest target when your team performs like shite. However he knew very well where he is getting into.
Something must happen. Fans can't watch this and do nothing. Being a fan from abroad most I can do is unfollow the club on Instagram.
This.
I know, but they made the decision to not follow the strategy they spouted, about not making a rash decision. They should have waited until the end of the season. Don't think the pressure from ex-players actually helped there.
My thoughts too. Feels like a last roll of the dice from Glazers and Ed.
Feel the same. Problem I have is my NBA team the Knicks are awful and so are my NFL team the Dolphins

Obviously you are right about Sanchez and I agree with you that if Pogba is not committed then he should go too (provided we get a good offer, minimum £100m and none of Madrid's own deadwood). Same for Martial and De Gea.
When Poch signed for Spurs their squad was also in disarray with a number of overpaid and unmotivated players, yet he managed to to improve their results whilst spending very little money. Its because he's a very good manager. Is Ole?
What else did you expect from clueless board
I always think "well, surely even they can't make more stupid decision than that" and I am always getting surprised. Seriously, why, just why would you offer Ole a permanent job in March and put yourself in this situation we are in now? It's just plain stupid. Even though I don't think Ole is the right man for the job I hope that at least it will create a serious public movement against the board, unsettle our sponsors and it will hit us financially. I said in the other thread that I am actually happy we missed on TOP 4 as otherwise it would just paper over the cracks again. The only chance something will change is if we start losing money.No, that's Woodward trying to prove he's some kind of transfer player instead of the nob-head we all know he is.
I cannot make my mind up if we would have easily got CL football if we had kept as a temporary manager or not. It might have kept the players playing to get him the job, maybe. I think he has taken his eye off the ball a bit as well. Is it fitness? I think it is to an extent, but that will not change straight away. I am grasping at straws here. Help!!What else did you expect from clueless board
As a Tampa Bay fan & season ticket holder since the orange sorbet & Bucco Bruce - a winking pirate with a stiletto in his lips, large feathered tri-point felt hat & a come hither look, it currently is shit for the Bucs. Sure, we won our only Super Bowl under the Glazer regime, but we also haven’t been to the playoffs in almost a decade. I thought the early Bucs were shit in their first years, but that is understandable for an expansion team (my family first started getting season tickets in 1978), but we also made it to the NFC Championship game the very next season. Then it was shit for fifteen years. Then we started making the playoffs, then won the Super Bowl, then shit again.
We have find a mean son of a bit'ch, a bastard who will beat the reigning order down and rise to the throne. Am I right?
