Harry Redknapp twice had Spurs in the top four before Pochettino took over. This fallacy that he took over a mid table team is ridiculous.
In the 5 seasons before he took over, they finished top 5 in all but one of them, and even that was 6th.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

You wonder how 99% of other clubs who have less money ever get anything done.
I hope its True and we move on. He's overrated and overpriced
He's underrated by the vast majority of this forum actually
I agree. The Cafs overall assessment of Maguire is, in my opinion, atrocious. He'll be so good for City if he goes there.
If we sell Pogba to them, Isco should certainly be a player we get in return.
A guy the other day worded it perfectly for me.
Basically that Maguire will definitely improve us, but has to have the right partner to compliment him.
Which for the fee in question is a bit worrying, as for that money, he should come in and be able to play with anyone, and improve them.
Similar to the Pogba scenario really. For his world record fee of the time, he should have been the one bringing the whole team up, rather than us constantly boring on about what players we have to put next to him to benefit him.
It's still again along the lines of Rooney and Sanchez, where their best position is always the one they're not playing, or they need "Legs" round them etc.

Same reason we signed Bebe
100M? Surely that's not true.
Woodward: Brief them that we're skint, that should lower the prices for Aaron and Harry.
100 million plus sales ? I can live with that.
Same as pretty much everything in here...!Sources
Quality of journalism these days seems to be remarkably low. Premium journalists quoting Twitter clowns!
ESPN should be in that premium category, but not sure where they sit in the tier listing!
There is some logic in this. Better than saying we can do anything in the market. I wonder how often Woody hears that in negotiations along with a massive uplift in price
I know, knee-jerk, don’t know the source etc but.....SERIOUSLY!?! Could see us only hitting top half with that kind of investment.
Who could we replace Lukaku with for €50-60m?
How could we rebuild our midfield and replace Pogba with whatever he goes for?
We expecting a RW of a Championship winger and Dalot to improve our attacking threat?
James and AWB for £60-70m only 30-40 left for a CB.....
I think he is 5 years and lots of shit spouting about how rich we are too late for this brief.
Yep.
he's tried the "OOOhh we're United we can do things no one else can dream about", and realised it gets you rinsed.
So let's see how the "skint" approach goes. Well....relatively speaking skint!
Solskjaer was supposed to be the cheap option, maybe they don't trust him enough to warrant mega spending
Have a feeling the 10pm UK embargo ending will see some big news for United. We'll hopefully be confirming AWB soon.
There is no such thing.
Imagine if 6/7 years ago we read the headline ”Manchester United have £100m to spend” ane being disappointed with it
Add £50m from Lukaku and £20-30m from player sales, assuming Pogba stays, then that is a decent amount.

I don't think this is a thing for transfers. It's more for press conferences before/after games.
FC Corruptalona at it again. Wonder what other enticements they've offered to the rest of his family.
I consider AWB pretty much done, but we still need RW, two midfielders, a centre back, don't see us signing more than three players unfortunately
Exactly. And Caf goes into meltdown, because they believe what they want to believe. Ed learned his lesson, 5 years too late, but bettler late than ever.
We signed Bebe.
‘Mes que in club’.
A) I don't believe that to be true. I genuinely feel we have money to spend if we get the players we want, but arent going to throw money away.
B) Putting that out there saves us time.. If clubs dont want to sell, its fine, but if they are open to the idea of a sale, they wont waste our time by quoting stupidly high bids.. No one is paying 90m for Maguire .. or 75m for Diop or any random player we might be linked with. Same for Palace and AWB.
100m + a central defender + Darmian leaving should be enough for James, a RB and a CB...
If Lukaku goes, that money should be enough for a replacement.
We should have enough money to get a midfielder in if we can get the player we want..

Can't really see why this would be so surprising? We've very rarely spent much more than this and I don't see the board splashing out for Ole. I thought this would be around the amount we would spend and maybe if Pogba goes we will spend part of that too, but there's not really been anything to suggest that Jones, Matic, Young etc won't be key players for us next season still. It's sad, but we are probably in for a rough ride for a few years
Na nothing's gonna happen. It's getting beyond pathetic now.
Whats the story behind Bebe?
Probably best we don't ever find out the truth.
But if I had to guess, we bought him as a favour to some agent, which helped with some other target.
I'm pretty sure it's bollocks but I would walk if I were Solskjær if that were true.
Why are we taking 100m news as a gospel?
Wait so you're telling me we can only spell 100M unless we sell Pogba/Lukaku? No shit. Why would we entrust more?
Because it’s negative news regarding United.
Yeah this is what I think too. He signed for a club for £300k or something, literally a couple of months before we bought him for £7 million. Dodgy as feck.
