Their transfer policy (if you can call it that) is baffling. That whole let's see who City are interested in and offer more money seemed to start with Piscan when he picked up Berbatov from the Airport. That turned out well for us in the end as it happens cos he wasn't much cop for them.

In all fairness that was more City on the day we were taken over trying to hijack the move. Still the best transfer deadline day ever! Piscan must still have nightmares of that day when he realised we were pumping up the volume

Possibly,as probably like you,i had a fondness for him when he was at Chelsea(Post Porto) and i always looked forward to listening to him.The Chelsea supporters and players adored him during that period.

Now,he's lost the magic and developed into a complete prick.He needs a decent break and maybe come back as Portugal boss as a wind down.

Surely a wind up ;-)

The thing is, were Mourinho to go, who on earth could United bring in? As attractive a club as it is for pretty much any manager (and don't kid yourself, it absolutely is one of the plum football jobs), right now it's looking like a shredder of reputations. There'd need to be a hell of a lot of guarantees for the top guys to take it. Whatever people might think of Mourinho, their transfer strategy is a mess; it's a combination of watching who City are interested in and offer more money, and buy up the latest shiny toy.

I can see Pochettino there next, they were all over him before Mourinho took the job, hardly any transfer activity for Spurs must be pissing him off when Chelsea and possibly Arsenal could take their Champions league spot away. Other option which would please the marketing department at Rag HQ is Zidane, however turning round a declining United is a different proposition to winning back to back Champions leagues with a stacked with talent Real Madrid.

Oh fuck it, give it Giggsy till the end of the season.

The management might understand PEG's frustration, but it doesn’t mean that they will do anything to ease it. Serves the whole fucking shower right for paying the mercenary all that money.

They're fucked. They need to break down this club and start over. And I mean the WHOLE club. Players, field management and office management. But they can't, and they won't. They can't start over. Because they're a public company. Because they need to win a lot to keep fans interested. Because they need money. So what they'll do is turn into Arsenal -- happy to "challenge", happy with top 4. The Ferguson knowledge/power vacuum remains unfilled, and will remain unfilled.

The worst thing that can happen to City re: them isn't Mourinho leaving, it's the Glazers selling to an oligarch type. That's not happening soon, IMO.

They are Xerox. They are IBM. They are a 1970s American automaker.

Ergo, back to point 1: they're fucked.

Not sure about that. I enjoy his meltdowns now that he is at United. Even with all his mind games, I still don't hate him, forever indebted for that Anfield victory after Liverpool won the title.

Oh sure. I'll qualify it then: he was fun on his merits, and now it's fun watching him - how's that?

I'm in two minds here.

I want him to stay, because is stinking the place out with his attitude and anti-football, but I also wouldn't mind if he went because the meltdown on Sad Cafe would be epic.

Couldn't care less about a meltdown with the plastics: I want him to stay and utterly destroy that excuse for a football club. He's made them the most expensive hoof-ball team in the world, and for that at least he gets a thumbs up from me.

Even mindless drones like Custis are seeing what's happening, and the longer Peg stays the more Custis/Castles and their ilk will suffer.

They need a young manager with a real identity of how he has his team playing.
Pochetino seems ideal but he seems quite happy at Tottenham

They wouldnt accept the season or 2 without trophies it would take to actually challenge for the title.
Just look at what the fat prick Howsen said about City, I know we think it would be horrible if the dippers won the league, but the plastic rags would be on suicide watch. Woodward is happy united are selling shirts in Asia more than challenging for the title.
 
The rag job is a poisoned chalice in the extreme. The implosion of a once great club at every level has been as public as it has been joyful. I'm struggling to think of any other manager who would be both egotistical and deluded enough to take it on. Unless they go just for the money like most of the players. Popcorn sales will be through the roof this season.
 
Maureen is the sort of person who always seems to have an ulterior motive for whatever he does. He's such a sly and underhanded fucker he wouldn't be out of place as a TV soap opera villain: a sort of 21st century J.R. Ewing: plotting and scheming the downfall of those he considers his enemies, and laying on the oily charm for those he thinks might be able to assist him in achieving his goals.

The crafty fucker's working his ticket...a one-way ticket out of the swamp.
