Some noise around Glasner taking over at United at the end of the season. That'd be a problem, he's an absolutely brilliant manager and despite United being a mad house he'd probably sort them out.

Can't let that happen. Hopefully a big Spanish team or another PL side comes in for him. United surely can't be a big draw these days unless it's all about the money but the rumours are he's very keen to take over.

Van Gaal, Maureen, Ten Bob all had impressive CVs !
 
How appropriate they are called the Red Devils I think the devil has called in the debt and it’s shown under every manager since whiskey breath. That’s why they are so shite.
 
Why be so concerned if it does happen? At the moment he’s at a club under no pressure to win and plays like most of those clubs. Sit back and hit on the break.
Once those clubs are at the top of the table and have to go for the points to remain up there, they are knackered because other teams don’t go at them so much.

Do they still churn out Gary Neville on the sofa reminiscing with other ex rags from 2011?

As I understand it, based on what Tommy Docherty* said in the 70s, they get 25000+ in at The Swamp on laundry days just to watch the players' kit drying.. apparently down to the 'club's mystique' and all that..

(* mind, Docherty, as Aston Villa manager, also used to say exactly the same about Villa fans around the time when I was at university in the Midlands.. much to the annoyance of my Birmingham City supporting girlfriend!)

Their crowds plummeted in the 70s and 80s as did most clubs. Even some Derby games at the swamp did not sell out
