What absolutely astounds me is the fact that they genuinely believe they have the choice of the open field and whosoever they deem to be the worthy successor, will drop everything like a starstruck lover and just fall at the feet of the greatness that is Manchester United and ne honoured to accept such a privileged position.

My thoughts are they will struggle to appoint anyone who has a decent track record, they will end up with someone like Graham Potter, Scott Parker or even dare I say it Patrick Vierra.... which in actual fact could be a bad thing for us if any of these were given time.... five years plus.

Newcastle have the right idea just like we did. It takes time to build a successful team [five years plus] and they need to understand that gone, along with Ferguson are the days that, no matter how hard you try, you just cannot buy success and cheat and bully your way to the top. Their failure to recognise this is beautiful and long may it last!
 
Part of me wishes United go Balls deep for Brendan Rodgers and get him. Then we can all move on and breath as a potential Pep Replacement.

I hope Pep stays longer but if he leaves there is one man and one man only #LuisEnrique

Delete this immediately. You cannot be giving such good advice to them indirectly. I'm sure you meant to say #BFS?

Comedy side apart, Bruce would make more sense than Carrick.

Carrick has no experience other than as part of the problematic Ollie team.

Bruce could handle the rest of the season nicely imo. I'd imagine that he could play the role of the old fool which could actually give him the excuse to make drastic necessary changes...like not starting Maguire or Ronaldo or Fernandes.

IMO if they had a backbone they'd say screw the media and fans and be aggressive in their appointment but nope (thankfully) they'll just continue to be scared of their shadow.

I don’t think that they have a choice about starting old boy Ronnie.
My understanding is that he insists that he plays every game if fit enough, that he decides what constitutes fit and that it’s supported by his contract.

I’m interested to see how their next manager deals with this madness.

That interview was fucking car crash TV. You don't really want to watch it but you feel compelled to.

If he loves the club so much surely he would waiver his reported £7.5M payoff right?

Almost certainly they played him yesterday. The video was a ham-fisted attempt at trying to portray the club as being in some sort of control of the situation, that there was some sort of natural continuance with the appointment of his assistant and approval from the outgoing manager, predominantly to protect the share price I would say, but they will no doubt, whilst they had him over a barrel, taken the opportunity to either reduce his severence package or pay it over an extended period, or given him some free shares instead. It's what these people do. It's how they work.

Rag wankers.

They are apparently going all out for Potch, and it seems he is interested. Ho-hum, another spin on the roulette wheel to see who gets to park in their rightful place.
But it's all academic because the stench of the rotting corpse of the pisscan permeates from every corner of that rancid swamp, and Bodgers, Potch or Zidane would have to work as the spectre of the bullying despot hovers above them like some malignant poltergeist-type figure swirling about in the ether.

When you have the middle-aged prancing pony behind the scenes calling the shots (under the guidance of that revolting Govan can of piss, naturally), you are as good as being dead in the water. Essentially they have handed over control of the club to a former player who only went back to his old stamping ground for the two simple reasons - a stupendous leviathan of a pay-packet and a final chance to take his ego to the new and unchartered heights that even Beckscum had never conquered.

What the rags have become can be explained in a few short phrases: They have become a club being run by an 80 year old man with a long and troubled history of alcohol abuse, aiding and abetting a vain, (alleged rapist and )egotistical narcissist from Portugal desperately hoping the two of them can turn back time and recreate the early 90's.


If only comedy writer John Sullivan hadn't died, he could have come up with a new comedic series aimed at the rags:
'Only Ghouls and Ponces.'

The biggest laugh in all this is not that they are shit, it’s the fact they literally can’t attract a top manager to leave their clubs for them right now.

An interim followed by an interim is hilarious.

Can’t better Martin Samuels in the Mail on this:

“United have appointed a manager they barely trust to see out the month while they search for a man they barely trust to see out the season.”
