I loved Keegan, but he’s not on the same planet as Pep as a manager.I think with keegan the premier league almost had a Pep
He was widely ridiculed but, even if he was a long way behind Pep. He was still the type of manager that should be made to succeed
Instead Fergie is lauded and I can’t get my head round that
Micah, whilst being correct, needs to shut the fuck up about the ’Nited way.Micah was bang on there. I think Neville isn't a bad pundit but only when he's not talking about United. When United are the topic, he just ends up talking a load of shite (as evidenced by the numerous times he tied himself in knots over Solskjaer as he didn't want to blame his mate but ended up doing so in a roundabout way anyway!) and as Micah said, he (Neville) seems happier to accept mediocrity in pursuit of some mythical "United Way" values via the interim appointment of Wreck It Ralf than appoint a manager like Conte. Of course, there's no guarantee that Conte would've done any better and he does seem to be a bit short-term but United have a penchant for sacking managers every couple of years these days anyway and he (Conte) does have a proven track record of winning titles and giving teams a lift, yet Neville reckons he wasn't the right fit. Well he would say that as United allowed Spurs to nip in and get him but I bet if United had appointed him, Neville would've been singing a different tune and would be all for it!
I don't think the elephant in the room is the Glazers.Very emotional from him and what he spouts is bang on the nail but he didn’t mention the elephant in the room “the Glaziers”. Whilst they own the club the rags will carry on floundering. Please stay for ever.

It took them 25 years to replace Busby. We’re not even 10 years in to replacing the Pisscan.
Hush Micah. Never interrupt the enemy whilst they are making a mistake.
You could accuse the Glazers of not making Woodward do his job well. He‘s been able to throw stupid money at players without understanding the game.I don't think the elephant in the room is the Glazers.
They've spent a fortune in the past decade, more than us, on players.
They're spending a fortune in wages, far more than us, currently.
The only thing they've not spent on is infrastructure - they could be beaten with that stick.
Youth has also been crap for years, since their once in a lifetime 92 lot, they haven't had a long-term consistent home-grown youth player since. ie it precedes the Glazers arriving. Rashford, their last 'class', has been dire for at least 2-3 years, so clearly not longterm.
You could argue that underspending on strengthening the squad in the terminal years of Ferguson started the rot, but no-one at United was complaining then.
The elephant in the room, to me, is the continuing looming ever present Ferguson.
Until they realise that, (like Liverpool had to with Shankly, and United with Busby), then they are stuck in the past, reliving the past.
As long as they continue to allow him to loom, jelly and ice cream should be thought of as pushed far into the future.
Just let them rant.Most if not all of the TV pundits seem to want the rags to do better, giving their opinions on how to improve their lot.
Just let them rot on the vine, I want them out of business without a home, repossessed and the bailiffs swarming over it to dismantle it.
The swamp needs to be an Amazon warehouse as quickly as possible.
Even a prime Liverpool couldn’t press anymore after thirty five minutesI'm not sure whether the rags ran out of steam against us or just whether Pep realised our weakness against their set-up and changed his tactics. Went to pretty much 3 at the back and then our superiority in midfield meant we lost the ball less, they were mostly chasing shadows and lost heart. Particularly after the third goal. I just don't think they and their manager can adapt their game like we can.
Had this conversation with a red on sunday night. Pointed out that the glazers spend more than anyone. So what did he want? Spend £2n? 3? Like the good old days when they outspent everyone and had the pick of any player they want.I don't think the elephant in the room is the Glazers.

The United fans would just move en masse to AnfieldMost if not all of the TV pundits seem to want the rags to do better, giving their opinions on how to improve their lot.
