Seeing as he's stopped taking your calls. Who do you think we should replace him with .????

Pointing out some of his numerous errors this season doesn't in any way equate to me wanting him out. There's a massive leap there that you've taken. The poster i replied to was insinuating pep was infallible, I merely proved he isn't.

Imagine being one of the many staff being made redundant seeing Manioo getting a payrise of £180k a week

and the ones who haven't been sacked waiting for the kettle to boil for their 'not free' chicken & mushroom pot noodle at lunchtime!

What the fuck can the Glazers do apart from selling the club?They can only spend the good earned money (careful what you wish for!)and they’ve spent all that on absolute shite.Then,should they sell,any new guy can’t spend his own fucking money anyway!Absolute cretins…

They can't.
They need it as security for their other debts.

 

[RodneyRodney]

They’re a total shitshow from top to bottom, there is no short/mid term / long term answer to their predicament

 

[RodneyRodney]

Worryingly a % of the fanbase do appear to have learnt from history. Lot easier now with the web to have access to the facts that confirm running a club into the ground. I imagine that a regulator would have a top flight club shedding it's workforce on a watch list based on risk assessment of financial difficulties and would be looking for owner cash injections or agreed recovery plan to prevent a Leeds / Portsmouth happening if revenue drops as expected next season.

One for the more mature poster but my old man was telling me a lot of this Glazers / Scruffy Jim situation at the swamp looks a lot like Ken Bates take over of Chelsea in the 80's, that's before my time to comment on but if midtable mediocrity for 20 years follows I'll take that.

Make it 100 years and I'm with you

I hated losing the FA cup last year.
I saw some posts saying it would be worth it if it meant Ten Hag keeping his job. I don't agree it is ever worth losing to them for anything, but he did keep his job.

They also then backed him to the tune of many many millions.
Then sacked and paid him off. Then paid some more for a new manager, who was then told he has to sell to buy.
The new guy is even more out of his depth.
They are now on their knees financially. The cost cutting isn't going to save them.
Failing FFP/PSR will mean points deductions and fines. They are really in the shit.

So is it bad of me to think the other posters might have had a point?

Agent 007Mar is proving to be one of our most talented operatives yet.

Let’s say someone was to buy out the rags from the glazers and ratcliffe,and 3-4 years down the line nothing has dramatically changed will they want new owners ?

are you saying someone who spends £4b to get rid of Scruffy Jim & the Glazers would want a return on their investment?

 

[paulchapo]

I have the perfect new owner for the rags. He has experience in running premier league club on a tight budget and has been inactive for a while. Step forward.......Mike Ashley!

I would strongly recommend Steve Dale to take them forward.

“The less talent they have, the more pride, vanity, and arrogance they have. All these fools, however, find other fools to applaud them.”

That Erasmus fella had the rags sussed even all those years back.

Erasmus Birtles?

 

[Sk@mcfc]

He was right tbf scruffy Jim does have a plan it a redundancy plan

It’s perfect they could get Slazenger to make the kit. Massive mugs with every purchase because they are massive mugs as a club.

They’ve spent millions on massive mugs already

Their entire foreseeable future is basically in the hands of Amorim getting it right. Now, unless he does a Ferguson and gets it right after a poor start there isn't a lot of hope.
He was successful at Sporting by playing 5 at the back and breaking fast with the fullbacks, here he hasn't got the players to do that and united don't have the money to buy them, so does he force these ill adept players to play in his system (not looking good so far) or does he swap everything he believes in and change to an unfamiliar system where he might be a mediocre manager at best?
The future's bright, cos united are shite.

 

[dennishasdoneit]

It's not something that's really debatable I've literally seen him give up on defensive duties and walk back numerous times in numerous games this season. I'm not the only person to spot it, there's plenty of people saying thr same thing about him.

That's a worry. I hadn't noticed,but I've not been at the games ,but that's not good.

 

[stevemacca]

Looking at their fixtures from now until end of season , can only see them taking six points, - Leicester away and Wolves home
That would give 39 points, some seasons a relegation total, but not this
Oh how I rue those points at the Etihad - shame, shame , shame
