Signings too. Lets not pretend it is Woodward suggesting the targets.
He had enough decent players to put together a cohesive team, the league was a lot weaker then than it is now too. Relatively speaking the players at his disposal were more than good enough to get CL football that season and we failed miserably due to his poor management, our showing in the CL was particularly embarrassing.
I can't answer all of them mate.I'm kinda disappointed @CA1 is replying to everyone but me
They need to bring the banners out next
Nah mate, our every discussion ended with you completely ingoing my posts because they were pretty much making your arguments invalid.
Whilst I do think Jose is very stubborn and is out of touch with the modern game, I still believe this version of Jose could do better than what he is doing right now - he just doesn’t want to and wants out but with a paycheque.
Because that is what ‘matters' and that is what fans are supposed to do.
That is how you viewed it.
True I guess. You could argue di Maria under Jose would make a big difference in this team.
I believe you should jog your memory, after all you can easily revisit all of them posts, but I guess it's easier for you to just completely ignore a post and deem a poster "unable to understand the club" because you'd get exposed much like I exposed your points in "Mourinho signings" comment.
I tried to be polite to him on my first post when he was complaining that I didn't reply to him.
Pretentious git.
It's obvious that the guy is a WUM. Wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be an opposition fan pretending to be a United fan for the kicks.
Pretentious git.
I'm surprised anyone fell for that one
Still sniping, I see.
Oh they'll be back in full force after we manage to nick one against the mighty young boys fc midweek...

Aye, the in-crowd had a ball the past two weeks. Just wondering where they all went. Probably thinking up who to blame and they’ll be back tomorrow maybe.
I'm surprised anyone fell for that one
That's a bit depressing.
Either the players have to adapt to managers tactics or the manager have to adapt to players strengths, both are moving away from each other? Who would you blame when the managers tactics are so reactive, defensive and uninspiring? In a one off game against a better team its understandable, but this is on the manager, players are not given freedom, though I agree with anyone who says all the current set of players have weakness in their game and are not complete players, in the end its the managers job to get results and points on the board, and get the job done by adapting to the players.
Yep, di Maria on our right now would be much better. Things haven’t been great in Terms of ins and outs, some should have Stayed, some should have been moved faster.True I guess. You could argue di Maria under Jose would make a big difference in this team.
I'd prefer LVG at this precise moment, Pereira would be getting played ahead of Matic and he'd probably be using Greenwood or Chong instead of Lukaku. Then again Rooney would probably still be starting
Well they've already blamed Woodward, the players, the media and the scouts so I guess the tea lady is next in line.
Yup, probably off typing multiple paragraph posts with their dictionary in hand to show everyone how uber-intellectual they are. Problem is, the posts will still be bullshit but very academically worded bullshit.
The rivals landing those managers are also a failure of Woodward 's handling of footballing affairs.
These 15-20m needed to get rid of Mourinho is a great start.
This is why the argument that it's all due to having shit players doesn't work (although I do agree that your squad isn't great). We finished 2nd last season largely due to having a few individuals performing well, we weren't the 2nd best unit, the 2nd best coached or 2nd most coherent side but we had a goalkeeper playing out of his skin and we were more clinical with our chances than most, the fact that we don't create much and now can't defend is a symptom of bad coaching and the lack of a system.
Thing is, they blame absolutely everyone but the infallible Mourinho. Then when they get called out on their shite they bizarrely claim they actually haven’t done that. It’s like they don’t read what they post.
Somehow I remember someone saying that the coffee at Carrington was bad. I have no idea where that memory comes from.
The simple question really for those who wish to deflect the blame from Jose is whether our attack is worse than Southampton's? Against a horrendous Palace side at home?
People disputed that though. You're right though, all the numbers (never mind opinions) pointed to it. That's why he should have been sacked in the summer - he got 2nd in spite of the shite he had us playing.
