Save Our Peg

[Chi-town blues]

He deserves extension.

Yes Jose, How does anyone give you £300m and expect you to compete?
It's just not fair is it?

 

[skiddypants]

Give the lad more,
He wants MORE!

This is so true. United are a dinosaur club from the dressing room to the boardroom. The Glazers have hardly invested anything in the infrastructure. The organisation is built for failure. The model is based on taking as much money out as possible with short-term transfer purchases based more on a quick headlline in Asia than any long-term vision. It's brilliant to watch it happening. The only risk for us City fans is a big takeover from someone with deep pockets but the Glazers will hang on to their cash cow for years because they have so much debt they have no choice. Happy days.

The longer the Glazers hang on without properly investing in the team and infrastructure, the bigger and costlier the rebuilding job for any potential new owners. That will bring down the price and lessen the attraction for someone to buy and make it less worthwhile for the Glazers to sell at what will be a lower price than they would be expecting. That being the case, hopefully the Glazers would be forced to hang on, all the while regressing the whole organisation through lack of proper investment and turning it into that other 'istree club down the M62.

I think he is angling for the sack. Just letting United know he won't walk. Obviously a few rumblings behind closed doors

This absolutely. He's telling them that he's going nowhere. If they don't want him they'll have to sack him. Lovely.

Shame that!

Contract extension = bigger payoff.

Simple as.

He would probably get it right eventually but fortunately for the rest of the league and especially us this would probably be beyond his standard 'dwell time'. The down side of that is united cannot keep getting poor managers and will no doubt get one that knows what they are doing. So we must support peg, keep the faith and enjoy it whilst he lasts.

Unless the rat house start to clamour for Giggs or Hughes, in which case boot him out.

History doesn’t tell us that he gets it right eventually. The opposite in fact. He has an initial positive impact and then he causes rifts mainly due to his inability to admit his own shortcomings to himself.
