It is this kind of sound bites that turn fans on the coach/manager. Is he dabbling into contract renewals and financials? Does he want to show a authoritarian hold on the team through this press leak? Pep and Klopp mostly sidestep issues relating to renewals and financials in their press...

One subtle change due to the two losses is Ten Hag's response to the media as he is a bit more open and providing more clarity to his thought process which is a stark difference from the earlier curt response to the press before the start of the season. I just hope he can quickly stem the tide...

If by telling it as it is then why sack Mourinho who gave a more brutal assessment of the squad. Why should saying it as it is be called self - preservation in the case of Mourinho while for Ralf a masterstroke in moving the club forward. Why do we have to have someone come in to tell us...

Can there ever be a perfect storm? True success comes with baby steps and it's only in exceptional circumstances does a perfect storm occur. Why then would anyone think an exception the norm? It is easier to draw up two job requirements than tasking one man to do both. Let Ralf consult on...

Again you are putting the cart before the horse the primary remit isn't club restructuring, it is delivering the milestones on the football pitch. It has been argued here that if Ralf was hired for his Club restructuring prowess, then with immediate effect employ him directly for that role and...

You have made a lot of faulty assumptions: 1. Anybody who critiques Ralf is an hater and supports other clubs and is Wumming. 2. That newbies can't make sensible post and contribute meaningfully to United discourse. 3. By extension poster who hold contrary views wish the Club to fail. 4. By...

Saying that there are no coaches available means the board never did a due diligence and relied on the recommendation of John Murtogh (a friend/acquittance of Ralf). If we look at his coaching CV and the length of time he has been out of coaching we can extrapolate this information to find...

From evidence available based on how Ole's tenure panned out, Ole was not trying to shoehorn both Bruno and Pogba into the team. As a matter of fact, he was at a point trying to redesign Pogba's role after the shenanigans of Raiola and taking him out of the club by putting him in the team as a...

First time I am hearing that someone describe Xavi, Iniesta and Busquet as not particularly Fast, Quick nor Strong because two of the triumvirate are short. Data shows that the three players regularly in most matches during their peak cover the most distances of any player on the field. The...

What is referred to as high pedigree is just another term for Political Capital/Power. The Mourinho debacle has made the club wary of investing so much in the vision of the coach. Thus, for a coach of Ole's status and standing to gain the Political Clout in the club he needs to be quite subtle...

@TrustInJanuzaj I quite agree with you on the profile of player we need in the midfield. I had to watch the second goal a multiple times to be sure that it was Andreas at the start of the move. The sequence from the long ball from the keeper and a cushioned Greenwood ball back into the...

@Verminator There isn't a need to make other opinions determine your actions in an open forum. Continue to make your point in support of the Team and Manager. Often when I read opinion post on this forum, I would most time wish to parachute some posters into administrative positions and make...

I award you the best insight of the day for this brilliant summation (my award doesn't come with money though ). Now we turn around and blame UEFA when the instigators have been the same from the beginning of time. Hence, why City and PSG (perhaps Monaco) gatecrashing at the table of European...

I have read many of your post and you give a slant towards the fact that the Coach performs an average job. However, considering the injustice of the disallowed goal and subpar refereeing, you need to give the Coach top marks of calming agitated players. Ole kept the team focused on the task at...

Laughing at your sense of humour.
