They’re going to get the Norwich scarfs out. In all seriousness though, on their ‘protest’ they were all wearing Ronaldo 7 shirts, which are a direct source of income for the Glazers, who they are supposedly protesting against. Hypocrites.

I always like to look at Utd through the lens of business. Let's do that.

First, Wreck-It was not hired to reconstruct or rebuild anything "long-term", short-term, or any-term.

He was hired as a panicked, desperate face-saving move by a club who had to sack Ole but -- because they'd bet big on him to bring back the DNA or whatever the fuck -- couldn't bear to have to admit they fucked up AGAIN, for the fourth time. But they didn't treat Ole like he was sent packing in humiliation. They treated him like he "retired."

See, if you bring in Wreck-It as an "interim" manager (and convince him to come with a lucrative, two-year, do-nothing consulting gig afterwards -- since, after all, he can't manage, which is why he's a consultant), then if he fucks up as much or worse as Ole, no harm done. He was "interim" to fill the hole after Ole's "retirement". But they can SAY it was the plan all along to kick him upstairs, and Utd buy themselves half a year to find someone else to throw money at.

Wreck-It is a management consultant. He provides thoughts and ideas, and gets paid whether or not those ideas ore executed, and whether or not those ideas succeed if implemented, or fail. Like all consultants. He's not going to "direct" anything, save anyone, restore anything. In two years, he's gone.

But wait, you say . . . they bought themselves time -- now, they've found their next savio(u)r in ten Haag, right?

News flash for the Dutch Boy: the Glazers are never, ever, ever, ever, ever giving "complete control" of footballing decisions or operations to anyone ever again. They learned their lesson. The autocratic Gin Blossom knew Utd was his club. He's an arrogant, irascible **** of a man. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. That's what Ferguson had. No wonder he thought it was his.

But LBO artists like the Glazers cannot STAND this shit. THEY own the club. THEIR money is at risk. Once they were rid of him, like in all LBOs, the Glazers determined never to turn the wholesale management of their cash cow over to another football manager.

ten Haag will get far less say over football matters then people think. He will get frustrated. He will have his wings clipped. He will fail. Then he will leave. After he spends a pisspot of cash of course.

All of these "changes", dressed up as a "plan", are sound and fury, signifying nothing. Nothing will change.

There's no plan. I hope there never is.

It is glorious.

And hilarious.

Since fergie retired glazer spent more money than when he was the manager! Am surprised the glazers have spent that much when they have a weak management or maybe it the Glazers needing the top four to make more money!

They should of went for Levy after Edwood went [emoji3]

I pray the Glazers sell to Mike Ashley, that would be the icing on the cake, please make it happen!

Just took a quick look at their NY stock exchange price. It’s $14, which is exactly what it was when they floated ten years ago. That $14 in 2012 is now the equivalent of over $17 in today’s money. In other words, it’s lost about 25% of value.

Yes, I am baffled as to why people buy those inferior shares.
 
Apparently they think he's going to get rid of 12 players this summer, which is....IMO completely unrealistic.
 
Dead cat bounce for 1 game then they will be back to their usual shit. The bullshit will be in overdrive over the summer window on who they will be signing but with no CL they’ll be shopping in Lidl.
 
Awww....

Ashton needs a distraction from the Tuesday night shit show and the Scouse media wankfest that followed.

Gotta keep the rags relevant and keep those sticks rising.
