Imagine being part of such a pathetic, docile, neutered, entitled fanbase that you can’t even get rid of an unpopular owner.
We did it. Even the likes of Blackpool, Charlton and Stoke did it. Because the fans stood firm and had the balls to stick it out to the bitter end.
Fans of ‘the so-called, self-proclaimed ‘biggest club in the world?’
They either bought a Norwich scarf (usually worn over an official club shirt) or followed an empire building conman’s vainglorious ego trip to a ‘breakaway’ club which didn’t actually break away.
And even nearly all of these went back to watching the club they supposedly’broke away’ from within a season or two when it all turned out to be a scam, like we told them it was.
For people who like to pass themselves off as “sussed, sorted, socialist hardmen” these Top Reds have been exposed as weak, hypocritical and more than happy to suck on the right wing US corporate teat when it suits them. Just like the Govan piss can, in fact.

The same morons that started following FC Joke were banging on about money ruining the game as an excuse for ditching the Rags.
Clearly they don't irony over in the Borough of Trafford.
 
If they sell a player or two they’ll probably end up giving Dortmund the money they are asking for for Sancho. Surprised Madrid or Barcelona not in for him.

Judging by the first few posts, I’m really looking forward to some highly nuanced debate in this thread on Solsjkaer’s tactics next season, and the impact that Glazernomics might have on the club...

For the sake of some sincere discussion:

1) I think they have a potentially very strong starting 11. They have some really pacy and skillful attacking players, and most of them have a mean shot on them. They've got legs and creativity in midfield, and on paper at least a respectful back line. Whatever their team lacks in relevant skill they make up for in size, thanks to Mourinho.

2) They've got the size to bully some teams even if they're lacking cohesion, and also the right personnel to rip teams on the counter.

3) They get a lot of penalties. Either you can praise them for playing a way that consistently gets them in the opposition area with their pacy and skillful attackers 1-on-1 with defenders or you call out PGMOL. Either way, they get a lot of penalties, and that's good for them.

4) They have no squad depth outside of GK and DM. None. Dan James doesn't count. Unlike Liverpool they probably are going to take domestic cups somewhat seriously and unlike Liverpool it's unlikely they have the magic protein juice that allows their first XI to stay fit and uninjured for an entire season. They showed in the Europa League how bad being short of 100% fitness can affect them.

5) Is Solskjaer actually good enough to get them to where they need to be? They have a pattern under him of going on long runs of good games only to follow it up with long runs of mediocrity. Is he either the coach or the manager to turn things round when they go awry at the first time of asking? Sometimes they play the most insipid football under him and he can't change it.

6) They are really gambling if they don't make a few signings. Chelsea look determined to move forwards and both Arsenal and Tottenham look in much better places than they were last winter with competent managers too.
