That might make sense, if we weren't currently competing with them all in spite of all of the buffoonery of the past decade. That is the grand irony here. High monetary value player acquisitions (club-to-club transactions) aren't correlated with team success the way that you and others talk...

I don't think you have the capacity to understand this, but one of the things that made United exciting to watch in the good times was the set of constraints that surrounded them. There was never a time when the team was completely constructed of flavour of the month players brought together...

CL is the deciding factor because of money. Getting into the CL appears to be a relatively easy task compared to winning titles. We appear to have proven we are not yet an Arsenal, although this season seems like it will prove otherwise. The risks involved of getting to where we should be are...

What evidence is there to suggest that we can find someone better based on the experience since Fergie left? It's a disgraceful and embarrassing result, but it's not like we are 10 points off qualifying for the champions league with 4 games left. Consider that this would be new manager under...

This should have happened soon. It should have been something that stood out from other manager's leaving. They had multiple seasons, with better league positions than the years before, to engineer Ole stepping aside for someone else. Unless a manager assaults a journalist, they are always going...

If they want the most exciting football earlier in the season then the competition needs to be adjusted to introduce scarcity of places in that league. Automatic qualification for the PL winners and letting the others fight it out for the remaining CL spots might bring the biggest rush early in...

The discussions are too heated for people to make sense of this right now. Further, the back and forth about a super league have been going on for years, but have been relegated to columns and articles which are not read by the average fan. I can't blame people for lashing out as a lot of it is...

It clearly indicates that there is going to be a good harvest in 2020 and that Trump will be re-elected. Seriously, this is no indication of Poch joining in the summer. It does however create the basis for that narrative if we find that he is manager in the summer. There will be people in this...

What's the realistic plan here for dealing with De Gea, if it's the issue that needs to be dealt with? I personally think he is a problem, but it's a secondary problem being exposed by our inability to create chances/goals in games we need to be easily winning. Not posting my thoughts on...

Lee Sharpe appeared on the scene as I was just old enough to follow football and I was following United regularly when he found himself competing with Danny Wallace. Sharpe's personality made a really strong connection with kids which is part of the reason why he's got a mythical stature with a...

I'd look on TripAdvisor for hotels with a good price and rating. I don't know how you are getting round, but Old Trafford is pretty easy to get to from the city centre. If it was me I'd book for the best rated hotel you can afford in the city centre, but it'd depend on what else you want to do...

Trying to finalise plans for a trip back to the UK. I'm interested in a ticket for the Watford game on February 22nd if anyone is looking to offload.

What's the plan for success though? You fire the manager to punish him for bad results and open a spot for a new manager. You now feel good because your wish came true and are ready to put the positive vibes you have to use. Who replaces him and how does it play out from there that's going to...

They need to stick to a long-term strategy. Keeping Ole is better than short-term strategies which rejuvenate the team for a short period while protecting players who should not be above scrutiny. Movement would be great, if it brought in a fantastic new manager and appropriate changes to the...

You do realize that it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Solskjær will stay, even if we don't make top 6? With the current poor form, and temporary improvements of previous management changes, there can't be confidence that making further changes will yield results. What's interesting...
