People are still finding reasons to blame our top players. This has been the situation since 2014. First it was Di Maria, then Rooney, then Ibra's age slowing us down, then Pogba's haircuts, then Ronaldo's pressing, and now Rashford (with Bruno...

It's ridiculous isn't it. It's like they expect untainted perfection. All three are truly good and potentially great managers. Tuchel's football actually looks really good to me, and unlike Amorim in particular, he's done it in top leagues, the...

I think that's the disconnect with the people who want him in. His inability to communicate effectively, making him seem stoic has masked the fact that he's just as arrogant and selfish as LVG and Jose. All season, he's either blamed players or...

I didn't subscribe to this, until this season. Other fanbases would have consistently booed, waved white flags and indicated displeasure. All ours have publicly done is blame players. This long descent into disaster this season is proof of a...

How??? No manager has had us looking this bad at any point over the last decade. Simply because Ole didn't have any prior coaching credentials and Moyes is Scottish doesn't mean they've been nearly as bad as this.

I'm sorry, but at this point it's a ridiculous opinion to have. What some of our fans have shown us is that they actually don't know just how good Fergie was. It's insulting to act like any manager, even one conceding 20 shots a game without...

That's why INEOS would be insane to give hime that chance. If he stays and we continue to perform this way, that would be a black mark on them regardless of how new they are. Much in the same way Arnold and Murtough were treated despite just...

He's still wrong even with that. Villa nor Spurs would expect to concede 20 shots per game. It's not that results are just terrible, it's that our performances are even worse. This is why this Ten Haag discussion is so frustrating. People keep...

Managers complain about the lack of structure, but I actually think the true victims have been the players. The previous lack of structure ensured that managers weren't held accountable until the very end of their tenure. Managers like LVG and...

This is my pick. Top manager that actually did well at a top club, but his style (which was productive) didn't't necessarily suit Barca's Tika Taka approach. Solid defensively, can manage egos, has managed at top leagues and can represent the...

This is what baffles me about United over the last ten years. As a club, we don't listen to the players. Instead, we ignore them, badmouth them, then eventually find out that they were right all along. For me, what makes this worse, is that...

There were massive red flags last year, but people overlooked them because as a club we are far too pro-manager. The Ronaldo, Maguire and De Gea situations were the big teller. He had fans believing that Ronaldos inability to press killed our...

He's dutch and played attractive football in the Dutch League...in the same way Rodgers did at Celtic ( except Rodgers actually played had Liverpool playing good football).

For any position, any role, whether player or manager, fans always seem to use this argument and it never makes sense. It's the job of the club to identify a manager who has the potential style and skillset to be in charge. A few years ago, this...

One area I think people are missing with Ten Haag is assuming he actually knows how to implement what he's planning to do. I genuinely think we're struggling because he doesn't have a clue on how to implement the high counter press strategy in...
