Not for me, no way. I think he's a very good manager, clearly, he's done some impressive things. But I look at us and I see a mess that needs diplomacy and patience to work within an entirely new structure that isn't settled and someone to embed...

I think De Zerbi would be an appropriate candidate. For our project you would think they want somebody ambitious, capable of a pleasing style, capable of improving players. Results and CV matter, but we're not about to win major honours so you...

You can tell ETH is losing the plot by the utter nonsense he is coming out with, routinely. Which he didn't at the start. That worries me as much as the performances because I think they both indicate the same thing, he doesn't really know how to...

Not at all, you suggest he needs to go to the bother of having a son to save you, you as a human being in the abstract. But he doesn't, he wanted to. It's not a semantic difference, it's a meaningful difference, just as the things you want or...

But a Christian with good theological underpinnings would never suggest God "needs" you to reach heaven so you've framed it in a way that's always going to be a difficult circle to square. You've inserted a sense of human self importance and when...

So if incompetence was keeping a young player here and seeing him improve his performances to an acceptable standard (I'm not going to go overboard based on a season) - then what would the competence rating of selling him in his early 20s and...

But did we really need an 8? I'm not sure we did. We had Scott McTominay who can break from midfield, we had Mainoo waiting in the wings which apparently ETH had already identified could play a key role. Bruno can play 8 to some extent. We...

It's true that I think we have to temper what is actually possible with these players. Maybe nobody would do substantially better in terms of actually competing for major honours, almost certainly true in fact, but probably a stretch to imagine...

Never really understand when people point out "look who we would have bought." So what, it's not clever. There's 200 players around Europe that would have performed better than Mount, it's not about specifics, especially when none of them were...

But giving him a new contract at this stage is doubling down on a potential mistake. Going into a season with an expiring contract is risky, yes, but not unheard of. But giving him another contract would be a very bad situation for the new...

What's the logic of this? Why would he ever be offered a new contract at this stage? If he's going to stay he needs to earn his continued existence at this club which means a good start to next season, one indicating genuine progress. I think...

He's more or less on par as I expected in terms of numbers and performance. Peaks and troughs. What I didn't expect is quite how shite the team has been. So the par performance requires some nuance in analysis by looking at it in that context...

Not sure I buy ETH saying he's always confident, maybe he puts on a good face but at the moment he looks a bit sheepish. At the moment he looks exactly like what he is, a young player in a big side that's also a poor side and it's not easy to...

More interested in his rubbish performances than his celebrations. Do your job and you can get away with most things. Within reason. The issue with Antony is primarily one of ability.

Piss poor professionalism and game management and defending. It comes to something when it's not unexpected that a United team can relinquish such a lead against a Championship opponent. It wasn't such a huge shock it happened.
