Given your views on Harry Maguire, I think that tells us how much value we should place on your wider opinions.
What views are they? Pray tell…

Enjoy being one of the worlds caving in on us mob, it’ll serve you well.

I loved the club until Rangnick joined
Rangnick exposed the players. At the very least we know the failings is not all just on the managers. The players have to take the blame as well.

Rangnick is the best things to have happened to the club since Fergie. Since his arrival the club has undergone massive restructuring and is bringing in a manager with a progressive style of play.
There's a lot of change to look forward to. It might not get us the results we want straight off the bat but there's a real chance we'll come good since we're looking to be operated like an actual football club.

I would say that, I understand why this thread was made and I get it. Even I’ve felt disillusioned at times because of the dysfunction at the club. But I would also say that, it’s an odd time to make it. In the last half a year to a year, we’ve actually started making some of the changes the club needs. Woodward gone, more football people in decision making roles, hiring a manager for the future… whether it’ll work or not I don’t know. Whether it’s real or not I don’t know. But it’s probably the first time in a while I’ve felt slightly optimistic, perhaps because i had already accepted a few years ago that we wouldn’t be good again until we had significant operational change at the club. Indicators are that’s happening, so that’s a positive.

I am optimistic too, it’s definitely grim and very disappointing now, but I’m looking forward to what’s coming, we finally seem to have some type of structure, a DOF, Woodward is gone, we are getting a decent coach, and finally many of the deadwood will be gone. I’m very excited actually, also this transfer window might match last summers euphoria. We just need this season to end, and hopefully we get in Europa and not conference.

Everything is rotten, everything - the owners, the board, the players. Only the fans remain from our once great club. God help Erik Ten Hag, because this is beyond terrible. I'm a fourth generation Red and attended my first game in 1986; I can honestly say this is the most disheartened I have ever been. My dad attended his first game in 1964 and says the same. The club is hollowed out, devoid of any passion or direction. I fear for the future; we are at a fork in the road now: either we sort ourselves out very soon or we just fade away for many years. It isn't the club I grew up with; we seem to be just an income stream for absentee and reviled owners, without a plan and without a care. I'm at a loss, there is no sense of solidarity or belief any more.
You've been supporting more than I've lived and that alone deserves a lot of respect. I have to say that your last sentence is exactly how I feel if I let Utd affect me. These days I have completely put its importance at the lowest level in my life.
I feel like an addict watching the games, no pleasure, just arranging a fix

Nah man, it's RAWKish, for a few months now actually.

These fecking idiot fans can't stop moaning about stuff they can't control, the same fans that 10 years ago were supporting the club no matter what. This is exactly the type of stuff you would have seen 10 years ago on RAWK, utter garbage.

This club is going through one of the biggest transitional stages in its entire history and, for once, it is doing the right thing not buying players in January, not panic appointing a random manager instead of Rangnick, firing that amateur Ole guy and his staff, firing head of scouting etc and all these lunatic forum warriors do is complain and complain and complain.

Why the feck is it so hard to understand that, the moment RR was appointed, the club waved goodbye to this season? If I can see it and you can see it, what the hell do you lot think happens with the players, are they blind or what?

This being a bad season is exactly what the club and the next manager needed in order to shift the culture. At least we got to see which players are onboard or not and, especially, who has the balls and the quality to step up.

At the moment, we know which players downed tools, which leaked to the media, which are leaving, which ones are good enough (about 2 out of 20, but hey, .. life). It's absolutely as it should have been for very simple reasons:
- the ones leaving can feck off anyway
- the ones downing tools and and not giving a feck (eg: Rashy) have no future at the club if they don't turn it around next year
- fans are finally starting to see how unprofessional the club and the overall setup has become because we only had "club men" around (fecking nepotism FC).

TLDR: It's absolutely fine, please stop creating low iq threads and just look forward to the future, moany pricks.
Have to agree. Been saying that for nearly a month now.
