Another Youtube toe Rag.

On his shelf, he has what?

An Alex Ferguson book.

Even their fans can’t move on from Ferguson, never mind the club.

One concern I have once Pep goes is if the board don't get his next appointment right, many in our fanbase will just keep harking back to the Pep years and we will be in a similar cycle.

That Moyes appointment set that club up for years of failure.
 
Well according to the intellectual might of, er Dion Dublin and Phil Jones, the referee should have ignored the laws of the game and given Lacey a warning rather than a second yellow. And if he had then he would have received the plaudits of the entire football world. What??? Apart from being an absolute load of tosh, imagine the ref had done that and then Lacey contributed to an equaliser. Do these morons not think anything through?

Cunts. Absolute bunch of fucking small time cunts. Stunned they never got called out on it. In fact all those cunts who feel sorry for that **** Ferguson due to his age just remember that in his pomp when he was winning trophy after trophy, he was happy for this shite to be displayed at the swamp. He was an absolute fucking **** who condoned this. Fuck the ****

Totally agree. Good to see the ref not bottle it and send the little arrogant git Lacey off. Pitiful how they're trying to defend him on MOTD and suggest the ref shouldn't have done his job. The push on the defender was a yellow on it's own, before he threw the ball to the ground, then the little shit has the audacity to ask the ref "What for?"

The difference is we have a world class structure off the field and supported by CFG. We also have the best recruitment operation in the world. That will all remain in place.

We really don’t.
We’re not as low as those scum.
The mere inference of a peadophile that raped and sexually assaulted children, in hospital, should never, ever see the light of day in any stadium.
I understand the reference is to the scruffy one but we all know where the original sentiment comes from.
Poor taste in my opinion and I’m nightsurprised from someone like you whom I normally respect. Very poor taste.
If I’m being touchy, so be it.
But I stand by my position.
We’re a much classier club than that.

I have recent reservations regarding the recruitment operation over the last couple of years, but I agree about the structure, however.

I do think we need a big dog to replace Pep in the realms of an Enrique and not someone like Maresca.

Pep doesn’t control everything at City the way Ferguson did at United. He was a dictator. When he left there was no structure in any area of the club.

Huge difference than at City.

Not a chance. We might not see the same level of success but remember, we had already started winning things and were on the way up before Pep arrived.

Amazing organisation by the club by businessmen used to dealing in billions at the very top of their game, not mortgaging the club them milking it for all it's worth. That's what has dropped them in the crap, not the appointment of Moyes. It wouldn't have mattered who they appointed and they're not getting any better.

All this time they've had the time to line up a replacement for Amorim, not like he's just on an unexpected bad run, and they haven't managed to do even that.

Serious question. Obviously, they'll pay a King's ransom to get a "quality" manager in. And, like it or not, they are a world famous name/brand/franchise. But, if one of those quality managers was to look at the situation coldly, why would they go there? The infrastructure/hierarchy is a total mess, the squad is bang average, and the stadium is a crumbling wreck. Spurs (when Frank eventually gets the bullet) would be, on paper, a more attractive proposition. Yes; the same issues mentioned above apply to Spurs as well (not the stadium, obviously), but they have the attraction of being in London, which might be a factor for some managers.

Knowing tight-arsed Ratcliffe I'm not sure they will. I wouldn't put it past him to select manager based on how much (or little) they can get away with paying him. That's how he operates.

We have not made many mistakes with players though and all the managers have done well. Of course when Pep goes it will still be pivotal because his name is enough to attract the best players. I am confident with Khaldoon in charge though.
