It's how I would expect it to be handled to be honest. If we win the public announcement will be that he's decided to retire on a high note and let a new face take over to continue the work he's done with bringing through new players blah blah blah.
Selling Welbeck was a sign? Jesus
Rhyme or rap? I have no clue what's happening here
More importantly the question is whether the club would be smart enough to start working actively on transfers before the actual signing. Hopefully we won't repeat the mistake we made with Moyes going on a leave for a month. We need to (again) work on the transfer window asap specially with the Euros this summer.
Oh, if this is happening then Jose will have instructed them ages ago. 100%. He doesn't feck around.
Think we'll find out when Zlatan joins that Mourinho tapped him up a while ago. I'm sure there will be other targets too.
If there's any truth of our approach to Zlatan, then clearly we are working on transfers already. It will be a question of who else are we lining up to sign.
West brom finished bottom half. He made lots of mistakes there as he did here but the difference is margin of error is higher there. Plus he rarely played as a CB. He was a LB and DM more. When it mattered he couldn't keep a place here. Even Rojo would look good at a lower club.
Table doesnt lie my friend.Rhyme or rap? I have no clue what's happening here
Chicharito I would have preferred to keep but he didn't want to be on the bench and he wasn't going to start for a top club. He was always going to be a good scorer for whichever club but otherwise he wasn't talented enough in his buildup play. Which is why even Fergie often benched him.
well yeh if your only looking short term...
I don't understand the link to that thread other than to show people up for getting sucked in to what this idiot was doing.
The admin is a massive LVG fan
I was unapologetically positive about LVG and a strong LVG supporter.
Our decline is not short term.
Nobodies ignoring it, some of us have memories before Ferguson came in so don't think we have any divine right to win or finish in the top 4, there's also very little we can do about it.
The difference between Ferguson is light and day.
What long term goodness comes out of LVG's arse?
Yes, West Brom are bottom half of the table, but Evans for us is not worse than Rojo is now. The latter is borderline criminal in defence. He's like the Memphis Depay of defenders with regular brainfarts every game. Johnny Evans has actually proven himself in seasons prior to LVG to show a higher ceiling. His form was poor for us, but Rojo is another level of shite this year.
But we do have a right to finish in the top four. We are the biggest club in the country and one of the biggest in the world. An average league place of fifth over an acceptable measure of time like three seasons is a travesty for this club, especially after what we have achieved over the last thirty years. Forget about pre Ferguson, that is ancient history now and the vast majority of our fans were not born and the ones that were barely got to see any United games on Tv. If we want to be the best we need to employ the best. Arsenal have every right to finish in the top four because they have a manager and a squad that gets them there every year. Our problem is one disaster of an appointment and then an authoritarian that is always nice at the start but as time goes by you realize a big mistake has been made. With the right manager this club can return to where it belongs, FIRST feckING PLACE.
If we lose, then yeah. I hope we don't.
No we don't. No one does.
Nope the UN declared it in 1992. Van Gaal to be put on trial for crimes against humanity.
So based on what happened 30 years ago, you think we should accept mediocrity?
As I said you are comparing a players United season to another's WBA season. Evans was pathetic last season. When we needed him to lead the defense he shivered and performed so badly that new CBs like McNair outperformed him. Rojo would seem decent in a team like WBA because they don't mind even if they concede a few goals. Here each goal is a big deal.
Sums up majority of the current generation fans succinctly.
How old are you then?
I wasn't comparing him to Ferguson. Just saying before Ferguson we had some lean years.
No we don't, no one does. You work at it.
Not saying we should accept mediocrity. Just saying not all of us are getting our knickers in a twist over it and thinking we have some devine right. I doubt we will accept 5th place and Mourinho will be brought in. Main point I was trying to make was, we don't have any say in it.
The thing is, that is strictly theoretical and doesn't correspond to reality.
Old enough to know that us fans aren't entitled to always win.We were lucky to have ferguson.
