  1. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Mourinho was in the rumor mill a few weeks ago. Pure rubbish of course, but the point is that promising alternatives to ten Hag are not abundant. As for player upgrades, in any given summer transfer window we can count on 2 or 3 new players in, 2 or 3 out. Many of us here, however, are...
  2. Bastian Schweinsteiger interview

    Disgraceful how Bastian was treated by United, who somehow after Ferguson left became a club that treated its players disgracefully, either overly indulging players who weren’t in it for the trophies or running them out of the club without so much as a thank you note for their service. It’s...
  3. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    Ferguson is still the greatest manager of all time, Wooden coming in at a close second.
  4. Coventry City vs Manchester United

    If we make Coventry City look like prime Barcelona, we may have to bring Ole if that's what it takes to take over for ETH.
  5. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Surely if we had a choice between replacing ten Hag with either Southgate, Potter or Mourinho (the only three choices apparently available to us) and only upgrading 2 or 3 players OR keeping ten Hag and upgrading 8 or 9 players, surely it would have to be the latter.
  6. New Stadium or Revamp Old Trafford

    Doesn't the railway make it exceedingly challenging to renovate Old Trafford to a standard that would make the renovation financially feasible?
  7. Bastian Schweinsteiger interview

    Undoubtedly it won't but this revelation should put an end any lingering worshipping of Mourinho amongst red mancs. He treated his players like shit and although discipline is required when expectations are not met, this was a dick move my Jose. Among many others. I really hope no one here is...
  8. NBA 2023-2024

    Thanks! I'm a Kings fan, a long suffering fan who will never forgive Bavetta and Delaney for their appalling refereeing in Game 6.
  9. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    If we’re going to be honest, the problem isn’t just manager. The players and owners are a problem as well. But that’s not news to anyone here, but if there is no better option this summer — and it’s clear as can be that neither Southgate nor Potter would be an upgrade on ten Hag. Where we...
  10. NBA 2023-2024

    I was at Golden One last night. What an epic performance it was by the Kings. The competition is too tough for the Kings to expect a long run in the playoffs but what I saw last night was a team committed to an identity and to performing to their peak ability, individually and collectively...
  11. Martial exit?

    Anthony Martial will be remembered as a wasted talent who sulked whenever things didn’t go perfectly for him.
  12. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    That's what I thought, and leaving Leverkusen right now would be poor form. I'm still in the camp that we although we might be able to do better than ten Hag, the pickins are slim and we could do a lot worse. If we were to keep ten Hag, what I would want to see is player recruitment taken...
  13. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    Is a move for Alonso completely out of the question? Yes of course Liverpool would have the emotional edge over us, but what a project this would be for him professionally, to return United to its rightful place among the powers of world football. Or is his stated commitment to Leverkusen...
  14. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches

    Achievements do matter and no one will question the greatness of Kevin De Bryune or Sergio Aguero, but many will question the means by which the business entity that brought all these great players together. There is no doubt that City earned their titles on the pitch in one important sense...
  15. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Excellent reminder. Other occasions I’ve watched Alvaro he has looked an exceptional talent. Strange that ETH has frozen him during our LB crisis.
