Tweet after tweet after tweet in my feed about how "brutally honest" Ralf laid everything bare and detailed all the flaws and took the piss out of the club with his presser(s).

Idiots -- he hasn't said a goddamn thing about six dozen posters here haven't already been saying for YEARS. And you're PAYING him.

That's all consultants have ever done. Listened to everybody, write the report, get paid. Easy money

Might as well be (Stalybridge) Celtic.

Yep. Got to admire the business acumen. Take a no risk short-term managerial gig (they win, he's a genius; they lose, they were already terrible) and then get two years paid to write a report. Director of football my ass.

I think she is a prisoner in that room, look closely somebody has slipped a note under the door.

Watching Match of the Day, and they highlighted the ease Arsenal passed through them. Talked about Fernandes pressing by himself, and how it being easy to play through them, and they need to hunt as a pack.

What they don’t say is Ronaldo is stood there, just walking, when he should be pressing too. Something a lot of posters on here, said was his limitations when they “stole” him from City.

Why is he never brought to criticism on this? He was also brought in, as a winner, who the youngsters would look up to. Which is true, any youngster would want to work with one of the best the game has ever seen, and you’d hope that they pick up a tip of two from them.

But, if there are negatives, they may pick this up too. And it’s notable that a lot of them are just walking about games these days. When you see someone getting away with it, time and again, then you may switch off, and it may be happening in the United camp.

1. He should be pressing, but he can't physically.
2. He wasn't brought in as someone the younger players would look up to. He was brought in as a panic buy to keep him away from us (tee hee).
3. I'd replace the word "may" in the sentences in your last paragraph with the words "absolutely will".

You are right up to a point. They listen to everybody but take no bloody notice is my experience with those arseholes.

The Five Stages of Grief

1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

What's funniest about this is she literally bounces around all the first four of these in eight minutes.

As soon as she changes "maybe ten Haag should focus on the league" to "maybe ten Haag should focus on keeping us in the Prem", I'll believe she's reached acceptance.

Apologies if posted already.

All these '6 point plans' and Ratboy's '5 point plan', I'm surprised they haven't taken up the job themselves.
