Strange move, can only think Adams will be out of the door in the next few months!
Does Mike Phelan do anything?
- Thread starter Plechazunga
- Start date
He will do the job! Always liked him and when he's sitting next to Fergie. Good luck to him
I think he'll do ok, I liked him as a player for us, 91 league cup final aside where he was awful. He was great on our cup winners cup run that season though.
Really interested to see what he does at Norwich. Would love him to do a cracking job and shove it up the arse of all of those nay-sayers, saying he did nothing at United apart from sit next to Fergie! Good luck Mike!
Not that strange. He's a former Norwich player isn't he?
Yes, we signed him from Norwich for 750k
He's back!
The pic in the OP
Where is that Phelan's shorts thread when you need it?
Clearly our winning was all done to the players being motivated by seeing Phelan in shorts. We're gonna start winning again.
Or they were scared of his balloon popping skills?
How was his time as Manager of Hull? I know he had only 9 fit players during a lot of the season and he got sacked too.

So, just thinking out loud are you?
bump
Hull was a shit show, you can't really judge him to harshly they went through 4 managers in a year and sold everyone of any worth. They prepared for that season as if they were going down and then they did, can't say I was shocked, he did okay at the start hence he got a the job full time, but that job was too much of an ask for him.
Maybe he's only a good assistant, maybe he was unlucky, much like Ole in Cardiff it was on the cards to end poorly from the start.
I missed the times when we make fun of Phelan while winning right and left. Hope the winning mentality and football are back with him back with the team.
I seem to remember that the preseason was awful, they didn't even start the season with a full professional bench.
Threadmark...The first few pages of this thread are pure gold
insanely good bump
Don't know who I'm more happy about returning. Solskjaer or Phelan!
Can just imagine him sat at home in his shorts, watching Tuesday night football, the phone rings:
Fergie: "Time to come home Mike"
Phelan: "See you tomorrow morning"
*Phone line goes dead
Goes back to watching the football.

Welcome back old friend...
Thank you
Our Xmas gift
Welcome back Mike!
I'm still angry that Moyes got rid of him. I'm still convinced that Moyes could have come in and let Phelan and Meulensteen continue to run the day to day whilst he got settled. He probably could have coasted to a top 3 finish just doing that.

Clever Mike, whole yesterday he posted boring pictures from Burnley to twitter and today he's back.. A true strategic genius.
I never saw that
Every time you watch it you see something differentTMRene's initial reaction is arguably funnier than Fergie's, but the 'feck off' is priceless of course.
Welcome back Micky, dust off them shorts and let's get going.

I dunno did he post in the football forums I don’t recall seeing him around?How can you have joined in 2010 and be unaware of Weaste
I love how he's coming back to the club! Seems like a great guy who will bring with him the United mentality and help create the family environment United are famed for! I firmly believe the biggest mistake post SAF was initially getting rid of our backroom staff!
As much as I'd like to believe that Mike only set cones and popped balloons (Squad Mascot? haha!) I will say after doing some digging and research that Mike was actually quite an important member of the management team.

If you can find the part where he says: "While at United I had two main roles...." its quite a nice read as he goes into some details. It definitely sounded like he really enjoyed his role as Assistant Manager back then!
Side Note: Will never forgive Moyes for replacing the entire background staff!

Just noticed that he jumps after the guy behind him touches him.
