I winding them up with Give it Brucey yesterday. My god, if this happens…..

Utd fan in work mentioned Mancini, please Roberto, don't go to the dark side

More chance of Pep going there with Pellegrini as his assistant. It’s not happening.

What absolutely astounds me is the fact that they genuinely believe they have the choice of the open field and whosoever they deem to be the worthy successor, will drop everything like a starstruck lover and just fall at the feet of the greatness that is Manchester United and ne honoured to accept such a privileged position.

My thoughts are they will struggle to appoint anyone who has a decent track record, they will end up with someone like Graham Potter, Scott Parker or even dare I say it Patrick Vierra.... which in actual fact could be a bad thing for us if any of these were given time.... five years plus.

Newcastle have the right idea just like we did. It takes time to build a successful team [five years plus] and they need to understand that gone, along with Ferguson are the days that, no matter how hard you try, you just cannot buy success and cheat and bully your way to the top. Their failure to recognise this is beautiful and long may it last!

They keep mentioning it that but fail to realise he’ll not only want to do the World Cup with Italy (if they qualify), but their structure with Red Nose poking in like a pig at a trough won’t work for a single second under Mancini.

Won’t happen.

The biggest laugh in all this is not that they are shit, it’s the fact they literally can’t attract a top manager to leave their clubs for them right now.

An interim followed by an interim is hilarious.

It'd be unreal if they gave it Bruce to the end of the season.

Part of me wishes United go Balls deep for Brendan Rodgers and get him. Then we can all move on and breath as a potential Pep Replacement.

I hope Pep stays longer but if he leaves there is one man and one man only #LuisEnrique

Delete this immediately. You cannot be giving such good advice to them indirectly. I'm sure you meant to say #BFS?

Comedy side apart, Bruce would make more sense than Carrick.

Carrick has no experience other than as part of the problematic Ollie team.

Bruce could handle the rest of the season nicely imo. I'd imagine that he could play the role of the old fool which could actually give him the excuse to make drastic necessary changes...like not starting Maguire or Ronaldo or Fernandes.

IMO if they had a backbone they'd say screw the media and fans and be aggressive in their appointment but nope (thankfully) they'll just continue to be scared of their shadow.

I don’t think that they have a choice about starting old boy Ronnie.
My understanding is that he insists that he plays every game if fit enough, that he decides what constitutes fit and that it’s supported by his contract.

I’m interested to see how their next manager deals with this madness.

That interview was fucking car crash TV. You don't really want to watch it but you feel compelled to.

If he loves the club so much surely he would waiver his reported £7.5M payoff right?

Almost certainly they played him yesterday. The video was a ham-fisted attempt at trying to portray the club as being in some sort of control of the situation, that there was some sort of natural continuance with the appointment of his assistant and approval from the outgoing manager, predominantly to protect the share price I would say, but they will no doubt, whilst they had him over a barrel, taken the opportunity to either reduce his severence package or pay it over an extended period, or given him some free shares instead. It's what these people do. It's how they work.

Rag wankers.
