They are declining in every thinkable way. Even tho they're second in the league.
José is past his selling date. His tactics and mindgames are outdated. Their squad is nothing special. They are nothing special.

It truly was Sir Alex FC after all these years.

Excuse me?

You're contradicting yourself there. Best defence, yet need two fullbacks?

They need better fullbacks, that can contribute more to their attack (wing play). Valencia and Young are not enough if they are to challenge us.

The FA know which way the wind is blowing, mate.

Hehe. Hopefully just a light breeze is all it will take.

WTF ????

Makes sense, they're all tired when they play us, but not when they play the chasing pack...

WTF ????

Happening more and more. I don't think the younguns know the correct nomenclature is hard shoulder shitter or similar.

Also, just by adding two "big" names, does not success guarantee.

Their squad is distinctly average and needs a sizeable overhaul; Rojo, Jones, Smalling, Shaw, Carrick, Mikhitahryan, Mata, Ibrahimovic, Lingard, should all be replaced with a better version. Possibly even a goalkeeper if De Gea gets cheesed off.

But they won't; they will continue to buy a "big" name for crazy money, because it keeps them in the limelight, sells shirts to the apostles and appeases the creditors.

Which then leads to ignoramus' (ignorami?) on social media telling us "manyoo are back", leading to more coverage, more shirts and pencil cases sold across Asia. And so, the financial wheel continues to rotate.

I'm not a businessman whatsoever, but even I can see that their model is atrocious and solely relies on past successes and keeping them in the spotlight, no matter how.

They won’t overtake us with PEG in charge simply because whilst both clubs can compete financially, Pep is a far better coach and better person than Peg is, has been, or ever will be. It would take a monumental restructure from top to bottom and then years to build up for them to get close to what we have become.

Those are 2 words i would not think of when it comes to him,i have an irrational need to punch him in the face

I think even some rags feel this way.
