The only title those clowns are winning by 2028 is a league one playoff

They draw millions of fans wherever they go, specially Asia.

Stop giving the thick fucks ideas

:-)
The ManU ownership is so fucking stupid that no reasonable ideas are bound to sink in - from me - some random Bluemoon poster - or from anyone at all whom they'd hire for advice.

I don’t think they’ll win the league again within 20 years of their last one in 2013 - so by 2033. They are that far behind everyone else.

I'm already on the record on this forum for saying:

"They'll never win another premiere league title ever again."

You can put a pin in that 2013 title win.

The only way the rags get their hands on another league title is if or when the powers that be in the premiere league debunk this version of it and a new competition/league is created.

As it stands the rags have got neither the owners, infrastructure or vision to get into the top four of the premier league never mind winning the bloody thing.

The reality is that we blues and other reasonable fans across the country do not have to worry about the rags getting it right. It's not going to happen.

The reason for this is that they have literally become victims of their own success.

Because of who they are the expectations to get back to their "rightful" place is absurd.

clubs like Brentford and Brighton who operate on a tenth of their budget are much more progressive and in step with the sporting and business acumen of the premier league.

We here it all the time "yes! but this is Manchester United" *spits
That's exactly why they'll never get it together.

It's not too dissimilar to the challenges faced by the national team. The pressure placed on England to "bring" it home is beyond ridiculous.

Every English international player knows only to well what's at stake when they pull on that England shirt. They know that winning silverware isn't just about putting in a ninety minute performance it's about national pride and the groundswell that that will create which will inevitably lead to a national Bank Holiday.

No one can perform under that kind of pressure. Not unless you've spent the past ten years living in a Buddhist monastery sitting in silent meditation and realising that none of this really matters anyway.

The rags definitely don't have it in them and they haven't got what it takes to get the pressure or the pundits or the media or the expectations off their back.

...or the players, or the coach, or the money

True, they have got the Refs and the VARs, but they alone won't be enough

Think their last 5 wins have come against teams being reduced to 10 men.
So it does help them.

i see berrada has been drinking the cooleade again suggesting they can win the title in 2028 and comparing a moron to pep because pep had a difficult first year too, i can see why city let him go, the man is a stark raving bonkers snake oil salesman

 

[Vienna_70]

It's fucking hilarious that Man United has no clue on how to right their ship....

When it's blindingly obvious.

1) Hire a competent manager.
2) Hire a competantant director who gets along with the manager (or let your competent manager fill this role if this is the model you desire);
3) Do not fucking step in to override management decisions;
4) The only time ownership should override decisionions must be purely down to financials (or of course prolonged shit performances over a 2 to 3 season window)- there's a budget that the manager and the director must adhere to - beyond that - the manager and the director must be given free reign.

ManU instead:
#1 they've hired a bunch of great managers who were too stupid to realize what they were getting into;
#2 they've failed, 100% - because their sporting director hires are more concerned about making money than creating a great team;
#3 they've witnessed shit results time and again with no clue as to why. And inevitably they fire their current manager;
#4 new signings seem to be forced by upper management - who have no clue. Let the sporting director in consultation with the manager decide whom to sign.

For fuck's sake!

Stop giving them ideas!

Was an incredible figure. Was anyone at all sent off against City. Can't think of anyone off tbe top of my head for quite a while.

The difference being City were a top four side, when the bald fraud walked into Etihad, whereas the rags were nowhere near, when AMoron committed managerial suicide.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Although they finished low in the league last season, they've actually been top six in 9 of the last 11 seasons , although outside it for the last two. The signs all point to a team going further into decline.

However, they are a big club and it's not out of the question they'll get back into the top 6 pretty soon.

It's nice to enjoy their decline but once a club of that size get back in those positions, if they do end up getting it right, you can't rule out them being contenders again.

Obviously they're nowhere near the days of Sir Alex, but clubs can decline and bounce back. Liverpool weren't winning league titles for decades until recently.

I hope they go one further next season and get relegated. The signs are there that could be their next stage of the decline we all enjoy to see.

Which tells you all you need to know about how far down the pecking order they've fallen.

How embarrassing must it be for the so called biggest club in England to have to rely on the officials to give them a leg up.

No.

But there were plenty of legitimate reasons for opposition players to be sent off against us.

We just don't get the same protection that the rags enjoy.

Don't you mean the "****."

 

[Mike N]

Always makes me laugh when you see an old united game on the tv. The quality, I’m being serious, they have churned through to get to the position they now occupy is incredible.

The last game I saw had Rooney, Di Maria, Blind, van Persie, Herrera and Falco as a midfield/forward line! That was 10 years ago and they are miles off that now.

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

I don't because they will be forced to take the steps they need to and accept their predicament. I wish them a long and slow death just avoiding relegation. That way the delusion will remain and they will just bounce along as though they are still a Top 6 club.

We did have Rico sent off for getting fouled, which again tells you a lot about the Premier leagues favs and non favs

Absolutely convinced you're a closet rag.

They have no shame.
