"You City lot just don't get it. What a proper club does is carefully select a manager and stand behind him."

That's the way to avoid all the shit, being flung.

Oh dear! And it will get even bigger no doubt.

Haha. The loss on Micky and eye-watering bribes to Sánchez were “free”.

I was about to post the same

I'm not sure why there's even a debate about Mourinho or Pogba, Mourinho is obviously the one you fire.

Not as clear cut as that, in my view. You let one player get a manager out, you've undercut the authority of every single manager you get in from there on in.
I'm no Mourinho lover, God knows, but I also note that he's got a lot more trophies to his name – in four different countries – than Paul Pogba has or probably will ever have.

Why were you taking photos on the streets of NI?

Haha, very good SF!

 

[Dreadzone]

Just for the sake of clarity - which side were you on?

Haha. I love Blues humour

It is both tbh.

Mourinho first, see if Pogba plays to his potential under another manager, if not sell him too.

That course of action seems so obvious, especially with 4 or 5 other players massively underperforming for Mourinho, that I really find it odd that it's a debate.

Mourinho has done nothing to deserve the amount of faith needed to sell off their best outfield player (and biggest commercial draw) and bring in someone new to build around.

The one thing I would ask is given how Moyes was booted for underperformance, and Van Gaal was booted for underperformance, at what point does the revolving door stop and they actually back a manager properly?

Was with my red pal last night, hilarious.

Firstly he came out with the “football is shit nowadays” comment that im hearing more and more of the silly raggy batards these days. Funny how its become shit now they aint winning.

Bryan concurs that Giggs/Butt is a dream team. Especially if related in law.
