He only managed them for 128 games but used 48 players. By contrast, Guardiola has managed us for 486 games and used 90 players.

Back-of-the-envelope calculations but rather telling.

Hope Amorim turns them down, but armed with an unlimited transfer budget I can't see it

 

[Asa's left peg]

Just like with transfers, they will be linked with all the great ones, and end up with the worst.
Having said all that, our owners supported Lesley with funds and his choice of some players ... and then sacked him, so they've got part of it right!

 

[ninjamonkey]

Gutted. Genuinely didn't think this would happen given how much it will cost them and how little difference it will make for the rest of the season.

It was an enjoyable rid but the cycle starts again now. They'll have to get rid of most of the £800m garbage brought in for him and they'll get a mere fraction of that back even if they manage to get rid. No decent manager is going to want to go into that mess, too much work to do, be funny if they are forced to stick with horse face for the season as they're rejected left right and centre.

In the meantime, Old Trafford is falling down, nistelrooy's a fucking clown. Still works.

I've muted it but he's still waffling away. Its going to be breaking news all day with interview after interview as if they ain't a mid table team.

They are everbody's favourite team if you never actually have ever been to a live football match. Most of their supporters haven ‘t got a clue where Manchester is, let alone the Borough of Trafford.

On your behalf, I just googled "Fergie" and an attractive busty young lady claiming to be a black eyed pea popped up.

You know the rules

 

[bluethrunthru]

you cannot forget that the side dish to savour will be new regime will want some new players and when they try to offload some expensive signings they will see how the rest of the market value some of the current crop

Unlimited?.....they can`t even afford two plane tickets to Paris.

How many decent enough managers are available without them approaching other clubs,Potter,Alegri who I think is good any others can’t see zidane going into that shit show well if they throw enough money at any manager I suppose they would knowing the pot of gold waiting for them if it goes tits up ..

I will as soon as my hand stops shaking

Same here. I think they’re desperate though. On the one hand, IIRC if they don’t make it into the CL again this season they lose a shit-ton of adidas money. On the other hand, I really think they’d one eye on a real relegation fight if they’d kept the clown.

United have a next year transfer budget of about 50p.

It is very limited… by their own introduced rules.
The result of unintended consequences, of trying to stop City or anyone else doing a ‘City’.

<Oh dear how sad meme>

Arey conspiracy Spidey-senses working over time or no?

They know we adore a certain horse that has brought about the demise of the club.

They have promoted a horse faced former player (blatant cheat) to take temporary charge and Southgate himself is also long and equestrian -faced(?).

It's on - I'm telling you, it's on...........

I’ve had similar thoughts but won’t bother adding a reply as you’ve covered it brilliantly!

‘Oh Rock of Gibraltar!’ (To the tune of Kevin De Bruyne)

There's only one man who has taken on a poison chalice of a job and united a nation

Gareth Southgate

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

It's got to be Allardyce, if they want to stay up.

 

[deano ou812]

But,but,but they beat Manchester City in the FACup final so everything should be ok small time cnuts couldn’t see the bigger picture that a shock giantkilling cup final win against City doesn’t mean things were going to turn around..

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Only a total lunatic would take that job...that is why it's almost certain to be Eric Cantona.

I’d take it, send them down and trouser £15m.

But, yeah, I’m a lunatic, so your points stands.

 

[Mike N]

This isn’t going well for Worzel Gummidge.

The ‘cost-cutting’ exercise is going in the bin now they have to pay-off the Dutch Master!

Dave Brailsford is giving one of them a backie on his Pinarello.
