Why is Pogba the captain of that shit show?

I was under the assumption leadership and value of teamwork was taken into consideration when choosing a captain.

Is he the best they have? Has to be a clause in his contract or summat.
 
The biggest problem united fans could make right now is believing that Jose is the sole problem. It's not just him and it runs deeper than him. Moyes and van gaal both struggled snd what they are saying about jose, they saud about them Lost bouthe dressing room cant get a tune out of them and all that shite. The main issue has been recruitment. They've bought poorly and expensively for years. This is not a good squad, its bloated with mediocrity and players who are good but not what they need. Fred falls into that category. Good player better than jorghinio from what I've seen. But arguably he is not what they need. He ain't no DM, in that he was totally innefectual to Brighton's attacks. He offers nothing defensively. And as for Pogba, world cup winner. He would never ever get into City's side and there is reason Pep, said thanks but no thanks. Thus bullshit about Jose not playing to his strengths needs to stop. France won the world cup despite him not because of him. He is never ever a central midfielder, not fast enough, not disciplined enough doesn't tackle and positionally is all over the place. There board no the score I'm sure of it. Problem is that it may take them several transfer windows to sort it out.

This might be true about the board, I don't follow them enough to have a sense of that but it could also mean it's like most clubs - the coach doesn't get to necessarily dictate everything and most times, not sure that is a bad philosophy to have. City & Pep is an exceptional sort of case, there are few that are comparable and that's also a big reason why Guardiola is there, IMHO

I've also read their board intends to hire a DOF to assess the sporting side of affairs and that's probably warranted, if not long overdue. Still, even with a DOF you have to have agreement with your coach and Mou burns bridges everywhere.

I'd blame the board or one thing, the hire in the first place because there cannot be any surprises (Even the ones we've seen in 3 years) going into that agreement - Mou does as Mou is. Of course, they are American owners and are unlikely to prioritize the sporting aspects over the bottom line - irrespective of them being closely linked. Truth is United haven't been relevant for 5 seasons already but they continue to grow as a company - this is what the Glazers covet most, Mou might've just been a stopgap to appease fans and weather the Jose storm once he was most certainly let go

You're not wrong, but I think you've missed my point a bit. I'm not saying he needs full control, this isn't the 90s anymore. But he's got close to none. He has seemingly no say on transfers. He has no say on where they play preseason. He has no say on who's contract gets extended. He has a block on him with what he can say at times.

Chelsea, Inter, and Real Madrid all gave him some control. They all adapted to him and were supportive. That was the undoing in the end but it always brought some success initially. He's shackled at United because they have an MO based on public perception and they're trying to limit Mourinho's ability to damage it.
 
I know all fans get emotional about their teams and no more so than when things arn't going as expected but fuck me Ragcafe is something else, if this is how they react then god help them if they go through a real prolonged period with no success. They really are a bunch of self absorbed needy fuckers,
