United Thread 2015/16

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Well they finally did the deed and flirted the Tactical Turtle last night - I'm astonished at the lack of reports in the media alluding to a lack of class from the Swampites in sacking a manager just 48 hours after he won a trophy and doing it all behind his back. Unlike a certain club a few miles down the road who kept their manager abreast of developments regarding his replacement every step of the way - apparently that's a worse way of doing things! We can only dream of aspiring to do things the "United Way" - there's a certain style in the way their chairmen have sold condemned meat to schools across Greater Manchester and had a penchant for lurking in ladies toilets, plus who can forget the dignified manner in which they evicted the survivors and families out of their club rented homes immediately after the Munich air disaster?

Anyway, I digress - let's all hail a new era for them in class and dignity and welcome the PEG. I'm sure he'll be a perfect fit for them - hopefully by March the #SOP (Save Our PEG) campaign will be in full swing!

When the dust settles there will be very little difference in time scale between the Hughes Out and Mancini In scenario and the Turtle Out and the Sardine In. Yet there will be a world of difference in the way the RagDipperArseMeedya report it. MCFC were vilified for the shabby way in which Hughes was ejected (don't remember him winning the FArce Cup two days before he got the shoulder!) and the way The Special Sardine will transform the Swamp Donkeys and deliver the old arrogant glory days! Louis has been airbrushed! He never came! Game of Thrones comes to Trafford! The Scarlet Walkers are on the march. We need a wall at the top end of Deansgate!

Very true!

Also, one thing that gets overlooked by the media with regards to the Hughes sacking is that he wasn't even ADUG's appointment in the first place. Yet our owner still gave him the best part of 18 months when many other owners may well have sacked him as soon as the takeover went through. I don't recall any furore when Al Fayed sacked Micky Adams as soon as he bought Fulham - despite the fact that Adams had just gotten them promoted. Or when Stoke's Icelandic owners sacked Gary Megson on day one despite them being in a play-off position.

I am getting a bit fed up with the shite being spouted now. We are expected to believe Mendes is arriving to sort a deal out. Bollocks. If this was true what would happen if they fail to agree on a salary /?they would have no manager thats what and they simply could not let that happen.

This deal was sorted out months ago but nobody has the balls to report it truthfully or at least ask the Rags a direct question. We are fed the line that it is not 'the shited way' to do a deal whilst a manager is still in his job. Bollocks. Do your effin job and ask the rags hard questions or at least be honest and admit you are a bunch of spineless tossers.

Managers know what's coming to them and get unbelievably well rewarded. poor LVG. Walks away with £5 mill.

Like City have never talked to other managers. Everyone does it. The difference is sometimes it pays the media to kick the dog that does it, and other times its ignored.

The real farce is appointing a manager who totally lost the plot. No one was surprised when Mourinho was fired. it was coming. I'd love to know how he managed so successfully to totally lose his players at Chelsea, and now Utd feel they can ignore that.

Haha Paddy Crerand at it again.

Bumped hahaha

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Thought Gill,Charlton and GPC didn't want him anywhere near the club.....fallout?

The thing is, he was the only really big name still available, who would come because it milks his ego, and almost everyone else was having an upgrade.

They could have tried for Simeone, but its likely he would have turned them down without CL football, or maybe Emeri, but he's another risk like Moyes was, not many others stand out.

No plan, no plan at all, its great to watch, and hopefully will be even better by winter 2016, when hopefully he's falling apart again.

Also which major club would have employed Mourinho after his behaviour at Chelsea ? PSG because they have run out of ideas ? Anyone else ?

They need & deserve each other.

if the criteria is the creation of a media storm then it makes sense. Managed to drag Real Madrid and Chelsea through the mud though so why should it be any different this time around. We all knew someone would take a chance on him again. Last chance for manager and club.

Just got to sit back and watch this circus for a week before the Euros.
