Just noticed i was 3 hours late with my titanic post, ahh well certainly worth posting twice :D

Never thought they would get this scrambled as a club, it really looks shambolic from where we are stood. They are going to need the greatest summer any football club has ever had to arrest this unfolding mess taking hold. If they don't i can easily see them being firmly mid table next season.

I don't see the Glazers coughing up this summer. Since they have no good youth ready it will cost them to if they don't want to lessen the risk of slipping down more. If all these players do go i don't see many big fees coming back in for them either, indeed at least 2 simply have an expired contract so just walk. The rest have lost value whilst being there through form or age.

He is the German Dave Sexton

Said this to a rag mate on New Year's Eve and he wouldn't have it saying Sexton was miles better (I tend to agree).

Can't put my finger on the shite coming out of the swamp. But it's COMEDY GOLD hope it continues. CTID

After the decades of shit these twats gave us ..putting us in our place etc well the shoe, clogg, brothel creeper is on the other foot now, it isn’t get old..not even close…

And they sing, "It can't get no worse!"

Hopefully, it can.

I’ll have whatever this mardarse is smoking:

It's the hope that kills you.

Oh yes it does. Sweet dreams Blue.

I didn't imagine that I would see the times when the tables turned as they have.

I was, and obviously am, delirious at the success we have had but at no point did I imagine that it would coincide with Utd's slow demise. Long may the trend continue..

What a time to be a Blue!

It’s not the manager. The whole team is shit. Beside that Greenwood was scoring for fun before PR7 arrived. Imagine rebuilding and going for a 37yr old. Good for us. Bad for them. I hope PR7 stays another season. Without Ronaldo .. King Ole would still be at the wheel..

 

[City Raider]

To think we actually made money out of watching Sancho play like this. It’s just too funny.

 

[Vienna_70]

Not surprising that they were awful against wolves when they started with such a narrow shape 4-2-2-2 against dynamic wingers and fullbacks. Didn't watch the game but from the highlights they didn't appear to stretch the pitch even though they changed formation to a back three.

Thought they should adopt the formation that Sporting CP played when Fernandes was playing behind Bas Dost.

Ronaldo isn't going to press or run about so he becomes the 18 yard box only striker, rotate with Cavani.

Sancho can play in Gelson's position and then have greenwood or Rashford play on the leftwing. Mctominay/Matic play as the holding DM and Fred/Matic/VDB play as the other one pushing up.

Has to be better than what they tried last night, what's the point of playing two veteran strikers up top together?

Fucking hell, mate, don't give them any ideas!

If anyone thinks one summer could fix them (I know you don’t mate), I have a bridge in my home town to sell them.

Team: shit.
Wage structure: shit.
Cost of new players: shit.
Manager: shit.
Coaches: shit.
Ownership: shit.
Stadium: shit.
Academy/youth development: shit.
Balance sheet: shit.
FFP: shit.
COVID: shit.

Position relative to top Prem clubs on most of these fronts (and this the clincher — whatever improvements they make they have to hope everyone else does nothing): Oh shit.

It is going to take YEARS of wandering in the desert for them to fix these problems. YEARS. And each year they don’t start addressing them adds ANOTHER year. Have they started addressing ANY of them?

Nope.

They’re blind to the depth and breadth of the issues. Even if they “fix” one problem one season, the rest of the problems increase the rot. And they still think changing a manager out or dumping Ronaldo and Slabhead will be the magic pill? LO-fucking-L.

I have only one worry: the Glazers sell the little red cash cow whose udder they are wringing with all their might to someone who decides to invest heavily in the reclamation job.
