  1. Next Spurs manager?

    I'm with you on that. He's one of the longest standing Prem Managers, so he knows the ins and outs. When you consider his success throughout his management years; you get a good man who isn't afraid of much. I also think he wouldn't be scared of the leap to United like others we can't mention...
  2. Mourinho Gone

    Yep. Forget all this bollocks about thanking him for all the work he's done. He's done us no favours whatsoever. Poor purchases, poor use of players. Poor management throughout his time. The board of directors have a lot of blame to take.
  3. Álvaro Morata | Performances

    Yes Vardy is a better than most striker. But his speed and tenaciousness that scares any defence.
  4. Why did we buy Fred?

    That was exactly my thoughts yesterday. Was it Mourinhos way of putting his weight around in the club. He's a good player and should be played in the place of Matic who is right off the boil. On another player. Shaw was a top player yesterday. If not the best.
  5. Players we signed that turned out to be hopeless

    Vernon was excellent considering his service was lacking. High skill levels that went unappreciated.
  6. Our Problem Is Too Much Money

    I am lost for words on the money poured into Rashford. But he's a good lad And a Red through and through. Lukaku puts in the work up front & IMHO has been earning his money. Sanchez was a godsend to Arsenal; allowing them to move on a chain around their neck & bring in players of the right...
  7. Future Manager Speculation

    he doesn't need to come in as manager. Give him a Director of football position. Or similar. He can then look after someone like Howe or Dyche. They have good records where giggsy hasn't.
  8. Future Manager Speculation

    I think that's a great plan. There is one manager who stands out. This is his 4th season in the Premier with one team. Longer than any other one. Eddie Howe. Ignore the fact he's been at Bournemouth in that time. And don't go around shaking your heads. The last three choices have been awful...
  9. Jose Mourinho | 2017/18 Assessments | Poll Added

    This Special one has has a poor record in European football. What did he really achieve with Chelsea? As far as I'm concerned his rant about the past poor results showed his real attitude and puerile character. Of course as fans we care about the past. But, if he's not aware of it, its his...
  10. Dwight Yorke: "Guardiola would have won the league with this United squad"

    I've supported the Reds for 50 years and have had to live with some dire teams in that time. A period when money was short & ridicule was strong. Like now, the chosen managers between Sir Busby and Sir Ferguson were not good enough. Mourinho might think he's special, but his management in the...
  11. Why aren't we coached as an attacking unit?

    Today we became a Sunday league side. Ironic as it was a Sunday. Our synchronisation was abhorrent. It became so bad we were hoofing it forward and not just into the pen area. anywhere

    As a Red believer for 50 years my memories go back a long way. I've seen a lot of ups and a lot of downs. I don't expect any changes.
