I'm a bit of a negative guy, but with Pogba and Lukaku gone, Ole will not last two months.
It’s only a borderline Top 4 squad with those 2. Without them, it could be a few different things, all depending on if Ole gets them fighting together. If he can’t and this starts going like April/May...
The owners won't change course until the sponsorship money dries up, so two things will happen;
You would have to think some of the sponsorship stuff will start drying up quickly.
Come on man, how many years have we been saying this? When Fergie left we saw the light on the horizon and thought it was the sun coming up. Now six years on we're still standing in our kitchen as the flames, which have scorched the forest around us, lick up our house, and there's a point where you have to start doing something about it and stop saying "I'm sure we'll be fine".
Maybe, but people will always need to buy tractors and pot noodles and toilet cleaners so as long as we can plaster our badge on it we will.
You are right it has been 'it's going to take time' since SAF left. Year after year the manager needs to build his own squad, managers giving everyone a chance. How many chances do some need? I am sick of some of their smug faces still being here. It appears it is going to take an eternity.
Maybe not Every Street, but maybe on Telegraph Road....I'm sure Ed is undertaking some Private Investigations...
True, but I can't think of a single player that has developed a lot during the last couple of years, bar maybe Lindelöf and McTominay to some extent. Martial was immense in his first season, Rashford also but they are not improving any more.
So do you just accept we’re awful & just shut up then? Surely a football forum is exactly where these questions should be asked..Start a thread on Redcaf and moan about it obviously.... We all need yet another thread complaining about lack of transfer activity..... Every single summer.....
So the masterstroke, in your opinion, is to hire somebody that the supporters won’t blame if results are bad. Thereby creating more resentment towards the board and owners themselves.
Yeah you got that right. Most fans won't call him to go. Expect for the fact fans here are already hostile towards him.
Think a lot are doubting he is up to the job, but any blame that get dished out regarding the state of the team will be towards the board.
Yup, as it should be.
I would never blame Ole for taking the job, but the board should have waited. If they had we might even have had CL football. It is the boards fault for this and also not admitting that they should bring somebody in to deal with the recruiting/philosophy side of the football club.
Great we'll save money but have a significantly worse team and possibly end up in the same position if not worse than this season? Yay? I'm sure glad those Glazers will have more money to siphon out of the club cause it won't be going on the players wages.
Folk have a right to complain, though, dude. They've been complaining for six seasons now and as each year goes by the number of people telling the moaners to stop complaining gets less and less because no rhetoric and "maybe things will be better this year" platitudes are going to cut it. It's time to stop saying "give them a chance" and time to say "they keep shitting the bed and refuse to change the sheets, so feck the Glazers and feck Eddy the big headed, probably parks his ostentatious SUV in family parking spots at Sainsbury's, Tory voting prick".Start a thread on Redcaf and moan about it obviously.... We all need yet another thread complaining about lack of transfer activity..... Every single summer.....
Yep, bang on.
Bang on right back at ya! It's less about them wanting their faith to be rewarded as well though and more about being able to quite their post in 9 months time and say "well, I told you so neh ner neh neh neh!"
It was exactly the same last summer, when it was clear what was about to unfold, this time around it's looking worse, yet somehow people are willing to cut the Glazers and Ed plenty of slack once again.
The propaganda is the worst. "Biggest club in the world" just sounds like our "the best it's been since records began". He's our Trump. Except instead of hugging flags and being a toilet for prostitutes he's hugging tractors and wiping his arse with pamphlets that say "Sack Frogie Sell Giggs".
Exactly. Couldnt have said it better. We are supposed to be doing the massive rebuild after 6 awful seasons and one week before our first friendly and we havent even replaced Herrera. Its a fecking joke we can should moan as much as we want.
We need to learn lessons from year 1 and yet we never seem to do, or maybe it's just because those in charge don't give much of a shit.
At least they had a shiny new stadium to show for it. And a Wenger who could actually spot shrewd buys in the market.
People will judge him on the squad the board provide too. If we end up with a nightmare scenario of Pogba and Lukaku leaving and no more players in then no one will expect him to do much. They'll be too busy rioting about the board / owners before the first match kicks off.
Joel Glazer's escorts don't pay for themselves.
It will be very difficult to get world class players who want to play in the championship.
