Ole is playing a 4-2-3-1 because it is the formation that best suits the style he wants to play. Ole wants us to play quick on the counter because that is a United way to play Ole wants us to be patient and deliberate against a low block because that is a United way to play. Ole is letting...

My problem with people who have so definitive views is that you are cannot consider that you are not 100% right. For example, does decent football mean you are more likely to win games? If you win games, does that mean you decent football? The answer to both of these is no. Liverpool win games...

Those wanting Ole out can piss off. Changing managers every few seasons has undoubtedly not been good for the club in recent times. Ole clearly has a plan and is not going to ask the board to loosen the strings or keep on players that don't fit the United system or want to play for United. Yes...

Has Federico Chiesa been suggested here? Right winger (but has played on the left also), 20yo, has played a two seasons in Florentina's senior team after coming through the youth set up. Started all bar three game out of 38 last season in the league. 6 goals, 9 assists. Has 2 goals 2 assists...

I would think there are lots of clubs that give the manager full control of the football decisions. Spurs are also building a new stadium so do you think that contributed to not spending any money? You also need to look more at the number of players, rather than the amount of spending, because...

A manager takes a team who placed 7th, 4th and 5th and an FA cup in the preceding three seasons, doesn't change the squad a great deal (4 players a season), to get 6th with a Europa League and League Cup in season one, and 2nd place in season 2 and just because (the start of) season three was...

The board just needs to make a decision and commit to it. Currently, it would seem that they are not fully committing with Jose, both publicly and privately. If they committed to Jose, he could make a few signings and a few sales and have a squad that he wants and deems best fit to play how he...

I totally disagree, there is definitely a scale of quality of football style. There is no clear definition of what good football is and every team does things differently, so something you might say is good, someone else might say is bad. Or just not so good. eg. overlapping fullbacks might be...

L O L - you say its not subjective but it is someone's opinion that determines if the football is good or not. Slight contradiction. And style of football is certainly subjective and is certainly not either good or shite. It is on a continuum, and while its not possession based tiki taka, its...

I agree that the third season in his second spell at Chelsea was bad and he deserved to be sacked midseason. No issues there. Not sure that making predictions of how we are going to go for the next month justifies sacking someone now. We might win all our games. We might lose them all. Sacking...

So the team got second place last season and while admittedly were inconsistent in big games (beat all other top 6 teams but Sevilla and FA final were poor) there were players that were good and as expected most players went in and out of form. I do not buy into the shite football argument...

Yes, he finished 2nd in his third season during his first time at Chelsea. I referenced his bad season at Chelsea, acknowledging that he has had one bad third season in his 5 managerial stints. Ah, the players were shite? So they are the ones who should take the blame? Poor choices of players...

Few quick points (this thread is painful) - The Mourinho third season meltdown is a myth. A bad season at Chelsea and 2nd places at Madrid and Chelsea is reasonably good - funny how people are identifying that our defense is our biggest issue, yet when Jose wants to upgrade the CBs, they...

With all this talk about how much Sanchez will be paid, and some players' wages compared to others - how do we really know how much a player's wages is? There are so many reports about so many players' wages but they can all be so different. Who is reliable / what sources can we use to find...
