I thought I'd change the lyrics to that awful song:

Ole's at the wheel
Tell me how shit does it feel
You've got Sanchez, Lukaku and Pog
We'd flush shit like that down the bog
Du du du du dudu du du
Du du du du dudu du du
Finish below City again
Ole your a gem.

Not in my lifetime Fergie said
That glass of red went to his head
Tick tock tick tock now's the time
Because the Blues are playing just fine
Du du du du dudu du du
Du du du du dudu du du
Finish below City again
Ole your a gem

Probably get about £80mil each for Pogba and De Gea but why anyone would consider buying Lukaku for anything north of £30mil is beyond me

By the time Jones and Smalling finish their contracts they will have been there 10 years. Look no further as to why they are not doing very well. Also, forget Sanchez, Pogba etc these type short time signings started under Ferguson and Moyes eg buying Van Persie and being ticked up by Rooney and his camp for new deals(twice)

I think they would struggle to flog both for £80m.
Which top club needs a new keeper? We only ever hear of Real interested in the keeoer, no one else. So why offer stupid money if no one else us interested (or he doesnt want to go anywhere else)? And if they want to get rid then they will have to take what is on offer.
Pogba - what club would pay stupid amounts (United excepted) for a player who turns it on once every 6 games (and usually against relegation fodder).
He will be like Adebayor was at City.... Will go out on loan for x amount each season and the rags will pay half of his wages until the contract runs out.

the funny thing is they may finish 6th but sky and BT would have shown more of their games than anybody else ??? and they will make more money from being 6th than liverpool or man city ??? so why do they have to be winners when they have every corner covered with modern football about making more money than the rest

I said that last season and it will be true again this. Every Cup game is shown and more PL matches than any other team. Laughing all the way to the bank. Just shows the bias towards them from all the media channels.

United are trapped by their own folie de grandeur. They need to forget all the shit like "biggest club in the world" and "United way" and go away for two or three years - in effect - not bothering about league position or winning owt, just focusing completely on rebuilding the club from top to bottom. They have got the financial resources, and they have (probably) got some decent lads in the youth team. They need a Director of Football for sure, but that's just a start. The whole set-up in rotten and needs reconstruction. It would probably help if Ferguson and Charlton buggered off, or at least took the Trappist approach for a bit.

The problem is the fans - and quite likely the owners - would not like the consequences of this, because for 3-5 years they would not be able the play the Big I Am and would in effect be settling for a degree of short-term mediocrity.

The other snag is finding the people (Manager and background staff) to execute the rebuild. Very, very tough. Because the guys with the right qualities are few and far between.

I think a lot of the fans have reconciled themselves to it, but the owners have neither the wherewithal, patience, inclination, nor (most likely) the resources to follow that path, escpecially given that it’s not guaranteed to work.

The Glazers are utterly fucking clueless. Long may their reign of idiocy continue.
 
United had so much success for so long they thought it would never end. You don't have much incentive to change a successful system. Ferguson held it all together, getting in someone to directly replace him and succeed was virtually impossible.

The same thing happened after Busby. In fact what we are seeing is practically a re-run. It took years for United to find their way after Busby, and involved a relegation. Eventually they found Ferguson, but he was close to the sack at one point. Will be interesting to see how it works out.
