Is it a moderators job around here to just attack every post if they don't agree with it?

Dortmund had the motivation first time around to put up with his unprofessionalism because it was not in their best interests to damage the product they were nurturing for sale. I wonder how it will go this time around when there's no obligation to humour him, other than paying him 200k a week.

It would be a disaster because nothing would change to accommodate him as a manager. The club often pretends they are behind some kind of rebuild but in reality any new manager is generally expected to make the best of a group of players that are overpaid and largely not wanted by other clubs...

Should have let them attend and give them the Joe Kinnear treatment. Would be a bit out of character, but entertaining.

I'm surprised someone hasn't campaigned to have the Gorilla emoji removed as there seems to be no situation where someone could use it these days without someone having an issue with it. Correct choice in this case, no doubt only because of Onana's quick response to defuse the situation.

I don't know why people think that the likes of Conte and even Potter would come to United as an interim manager. I know that interim manager at United stands a good chance of becoming full time manager but Conte wouldn't entertain that nonsense and I think Potter would realise that it would...

I was very much behind giving Ten Hag the time and support to mould a team to play his style, but then quotes came out about how he has abandoned any idea of playing the kind of football he was known for from Ajax. I presume this was mainly driven by being obliged to try and get the best of a...

It's getting harder to feel positive about Ten Hag's management. I know there are still players in the first team that are quick to down tools but I expected him to come in and sort those players out and bring a defined style of play. I would say that the influence of Martinez and his drive...

Was the poster not talking about the team he inherited at Ajax?

I think if they try again they will have to find another front man. They went down the route of "lifelong United Fan" with him so they will just find someone else to be the "lifelong Liverpool fan" or whichever club they may look at.

There was talk that some of the Glazers needed a big chunk of money to pay some loans that were due on other business interests. How true this is, I dont know but it could have been the driving force behind this whole thing. If Jim has now given them that money then I really don't see why...

If they cut a number of games out of the schedule then as soon as a club identifies a few weeks of free time they would just go ahead and schedule some kind of tournament in the far East to bring in the money. If they players all get together and press for a change I don't have a problem with...

Having a proper dedicated winger on the right would help a lot in my opinion and work to balance out having Rashford providing little in terms of chances for other players from the left flank. Having two inverted wide players or however they would be described isn't the best plan to provide...

I've always thought he would do a decent job for a smaller club as a midfielder that will arrive late in the box or get shooting opportunities from the edge of the area. He has always had a good shot on him but these types of conversations always seem to happen. How about if we played this...

I want to believe in Ten Hag, I like what he stands for and I like a lot of what he says but even with the injury and other issues he has had to deal with I am finding it hard to convince myself that we are seeing any real progression here. I don't want him sacked at all, that would just be...
