Their friends in the media do them more harm than good, the constant hyperbole when they win a game or two, it's snakes and ladders for them, all this nonsense about the mythical United way

After beating Burnley it was all
United have turned the corner
Ralf has them playing the way he wants them to play
United are back in the race for the top 4

They beat Burnley for fucks sake. Even Leeds beat Burnley!

Man Utd are not destined to fail. I prefer steady as she goes gradual decline rather than collapse because a collapse ends in radical action. They will eventually get their managerial set up right. There's nothing to say the Glazer ownership is doomed to fail.

I think Utd fans are despondent right now because the odds are that Rangnick is not going to be successful and that they will have to make yet another change in the Summer. I think he might drop Ronaldo now. That is what I would do. Better to fail trying to implement the football you believe in than get sacked trying to compromise.

We probably came scarily close to a Utd upturn when they had a chance to appoint Conte, but he dodged the bullet and went to the Spuds.

Edited for accuracy.

Will Ronaldo ask to leave in the summer?

We're inevitably going to either be in no European competition at all next season or at best the Europa or Conference Given he's only on a 2 year deal anyway do we think he'll look to leave?

although in a different time and era, this current RAG debacle has me thinking back to the dark City times of 1996/97 with Ball, Coppell, Phil Neal, Frank Clark. it was a club in total freefall.

long may it continue for the rags :-)

He's the interim manager. He already knows he's going. Why would he make the hard choices?

I’m not sure that Ragnick CAN drop the old boy, Marvin.

The rumours were that his deal included a clause that gave him the right to play every game that he wanted, and I’ve not seen anything to suggest that’s not the case.

It’s kind of understandable; he probably earns more from his image rights than his football and he needs himself / his image to be on our screens constantly to keep that up.

Employing him wasn’t a footballing decision, it was partly to boost united’s sponsorship income but it was more due to the Glazers understanding that his reputation would bump their share price so that they could reassign and offload shares (to buy an Indian cricket team) before the share price quickly settled again.
And that’s exactly what they did.

Possibly included a few snide (handshake) clauses with their 'partnership' sponsors to assure Rondildos presence in all major games...

Buffon recently said Ronaldo ruined the team in Turin, it's all about adapting the whole team to his needs while neglecting the rest of the team and tactics to beat the opposition, Juve regressed and United are doing the same for a guy approaching 40 years old.

That’s my guess as well - clause to play when fit. I’d also forgotten about any sponsorships and potential penalty clauses if the fading star didn’t play.

The outrage of Ferguson when ole dropped him was breathtaking. But if it had cost united his weekly wage in lost sponsorship then it’s not surprising he blew up.
 
I derive so much pleasure from watching the twats self implode . After suffering decades of darkness we have emerged victorious and glorious. I often questioned where god was when they triumphed using every cheating bent bias lying scheming trick with impunity. The fact they still exist is a dark shadow on the game. I really do not like them.
 
So what's this love in over phill Jones? It's like someone's died the way they're praising him
