90% of his posts are nonsense so why even expect the opposite?What a pile of nonsense. At least check the timelines instead of posting randomly.

Yeah, at least was expecting him to get facts right. Maybe too hard when head is firmly in the arse.90% of his posts are nonsense so why even expect the opposite?
I guess we'll never know how much of what was being reported was true, but all the noise at the time was that he wanted City and to work with Pep. He ended up here on an enormous salary, if he ended up at City I doubt he'd have been on such a high wage, but that is just conjecture. We certainly managed to coerce him here somehow, and I'd wager it was because of the money on offer.I have been enjoying reading your posts but I just thought I should say something about the highlighted bit.
While I think we were desperate to sign an attacker (in the previous season, lack of enough goals was one of the reasons we didn't do well in the league), Alexis himself was not averse to joining United. His relationship with Arsenal had broken down and he was desperate to move. United at that time, looked like an upgrade for him coming from Arsenal. We had just won the Europa Cup, we had returned to the Champions League, we looked good on the table, had money to spend, had a top manager, a great brand and looked like with enough investments and better football, we could push for the title. You will recall that apart from salary, one of Alexis' problems at Arsenal was that they were not winning silverware.
Another context was the manager's relationship with Martial. Justifiable or not, it was breaking down. It appeared like we could do with another attacker who could play from wide and also play through the middle. I do agree that someone who could have played from right would have been better but the reality was that we were still having problem from the left.
Another thing worth pointing out is that Alexis' decline in form at United was shocking, at least to many people. Kudos to those with enough insights to have foreseen it. But for fans like me who had followed Alexis' career since he played for Udinese, it was astonishing to see him become so bad so quickly. He had declined significantly at Arsenal in his last few months but one attributed that to his desperation to leave the club and one thought that he would somehow click again once he got into a new club, especially a great one like United.
Anyway, the rest is now history. Your comment can be well understood with the benefit of insight but when you consider the contexts at that time, one may want to interpret differently.
Celtic vs Cluj (2-0) | UEFA Europa League HighlightsHe always seemed incompetent when organising defences at Liverpool and also for Celtic's Champions League games but on the other hand Swansea were and Leicester are notably strong at the back.
Not sure why that is.
Torrential rain is for both sides I assume?Rodgers Leicester, despite torrential rain, tearing the arse out of Southampton. Played more attacking football in 20 minutes than we have in about 2 months
My point is that it’s not stopping them playing decent passing footballTorrential rain is for both sides I assume?
Twitter said:Brendan Rodgers is the only manager whose teams have had both a 5-0 half-time lead (Leicester at Southampton today) and a 5-0 half-time deficit (Liverpool at Stoke in 2015) in Premier League games.
They lost to us 1-0.Thought it takes at least 6 transfer windows, 8 pre seasons, £600 million, 7 months without an away win, selling at least 23 players, lowering the average XI age to 22 before you could start playing decent football?
Oh wait, Leicesters squad is a million times better than ours even though we finished above them last season and took one of their best players.

They're also 11 points ahead of us. So "Pipe down".They lost to us 1-0.
Pipe down.
I don't really want him as our manager but he's debunked the bullshit that it takes time to instill your philosophy and get a team playing fluent and cohesive football.If he’s so great how did we beat them given we are so pi$$ poor? Can’t understand any united fan wanting this guy as our manager
You don't win anything after 10 games mate.They're also 11 points ahead of us. So "Pipe down".
And 7 years and £900 million.I don't really want him as our manager but he's debunked the bullshit that it takes time to instill your philosophy and get a team playing fluent and cohesive football.
Oh wait, didn't know the league gets over by Halloween these days.They're also 11 points ahead of us. So "Pipe down".
Why are you getting upset? It's clear as day Brenton is miles better than OleOh wait, didn't know the league gets over by Halloween these days.
Quite possibly. But then I guess it also depends on the players at your disposal and their ability to not only play the game but understand what your being taught and getting on board with it. Fair play to him though doing well so far at LeicesterI don't really want him as our manager but he's debunked the bullshit that it takes time to instill your philosophy and get a team playing fluent and cohesive football.
Has Brendan ever won the prestigious Norwegian league title though?Why are you getting upset? It's clear as day Brenton is miles better than Ole
Six years.Rodgers Leicester, despite torrential rain, tearing the arse out of Southampton. Played more attacking football in 20 minutes than we have in about 2 months
No but he's won the domestic treble a few times in ScotlandHas Brendan ever won the prestigious Norwegian league title though?
Maybe we should just go out and get the best striker available whilst we're at it. Also the best midfielder available. Then lets plan for the future and get the best youngsters available to.United could learn from Leicester tbh.
They were looking for a new manager and so they appointed the best one available to them
Not once have United done that post-Fergie.
We over complicate things too much.
Just hire the best manager you can get. Simplicity is genius.
Not sure. Leicester have great owners who care, a great structure. They are cash rich and do not need to sell. If they can show there players top 4 is possible, why would Brendan leave? He could do something special there. Man United is a sinking ship, arsenal are always in and out with lack of investment whilst chelsea blow hot and cold over the years. Spurs could implode because of a lack of investment. City liverpool and leicester could bebthe top three. Obviously i am being really optimistic as leicester are my second team!I can see him ditching Leicester if a big club comes calling.
I dunno the same reason he left Celtic - he wouldn’t turn down Spurs or Arsenal imoNot sure. Leicester have great owners who care, a great structure. They are cash rich and do not need to sell.
