1 comment claiming Souness achieved nothing as a player or manager. 3 European Cups and God knows how many domestic trophies as a player for starters....
one of the worlds best and hardest midfielder s of his day also played in serie A . Managed in turkey and excellent pundit. Would have graced a world eleven of his era with Daglish......our rag friends real students of the game
 
If the season goes badly - no top 4, no trophies - I wonder what they'll do.

I suspect pride, disguised as continuity, will stop them firing Mourinho so soon after the new deal, which will probably mean he lingers until December/January, wasting another season.

I've thought about this as well. If he were to finish fifth he would absolutely deserve the sack; but with that extension they very well may keep him on, allowing him to make them destruct even more about half way thru the season like you mentioned. Long may his reign continue.

The constant changes of manager with no coherent strategy is a major reason they have such a mish mash of a squad - each one coming in buys his own and is stuck with the ones he doesn't want. Ironically enough, I'd suggest their best chance is to stick with Mourinho no matter what for a couple of years and let him shape what he wants properly. That does pre-suppose he won't walk out of course. They aren't short of money, no matter how badly they're currently spending it. The biggest issue they have is that as a club, beyond the commercial side, they have no idea what they're doing. Lovely to see, and long may it continue.

The problem with that plan is that the only thing worse than constantly chopping and changing managers is sticking with the wrong one. Mourinho's showed he's not the right one anymore, 2 years in and he hasn't formed a team yet.
 
Fucking hell that is worse than the first part.

I've known about the story of survivors being kicked out of homes before now and know Rags who have said things like “yeah but that was a long time ago and things were different at the time back then”.

There are also things away from that particular story like this: http://twohundredpercent.net/100-owners-number-87-louis-edwards-manchester-united/ That show United and the Edwards in a very bad light.

That's the exact same line I got. Then Cantona came along and I said it wasn't so different ten years ago.

Disgusting all that. Thanks for posting PC

Maybe. Given his career record I'm not sure I'd write him off just yet. If they were to finish second or third this year he could argue that's decent progress given the cups last year. If they finish fifth though...

Finishing 6th and 3rd after spending £400m is good progress? No chance. That'd be the bare minimum.
 
There is nothing more satisfying that reading the KDB thread on their forum and the conclusion is that because KDB runs around 11.8km per match, he is on drugs and has never had a work rate before.

Its so satisfying, they are the most desperate they have ever been and they do not know how to handle being shit and a laughing stock. Long may it continue, because by god, they deserve it.
