They will sack Poundland in the new year, they will appoint Southgate and he will create a stable boring side with limited success, they will sack Southgate after 2 seasons mainly because he will insist on playing Harry Maguire and he will break the it's record for most nil nils in a season.

It’s been said about the stadium falling to bits which is true and will cost a fortune to update. But how about fixing the pitch and lowing it to take away the drop n the sides. Mark my words some is going to get quite badly injured.

If you think that is bad you should have gone to Burnden Park, one of the two hackers of fullbacks Bolton had put Mike Summerbee off the pitch and he vanished from view.

I don't think they can. They've got a contract with Sky to allow their staff access to the games.

they don't have to ban them, they can treat them differently though. Here's your 3 course meal with some French red wine Martin, Gary here's your egg mayo sandwich from Spar and a can of coke.

Southgate is hugely risk averse, to the extent that I think even he will want to give FC Basket Case a swerve.

It will be Zidane - the obvious big shiny name. Nothing if not predictable that scum lot.

I thought he didn't want to live or work in England?

Although that might have just been an excuse not to manage United and I don't think he would do it.

He doesn't really strike me as a guy who's desperate to be in management and would be extremely selective when he takes a job. he's probably on a hiding to nothing if he goes there. He's too smart for that in my opinion. Imagine Zidane looking at that United squad, comparing it to the Real Madrid squad he had, and then knowing he has to go up against Us, Liverpool, Arsenal etc and their respective mangers with that squad he has.

I don't think he would go anywhere near that United job anytime soon.

I guess I must miss the answer, since I live down south, so can somebody please explain why anything is the Glazers fault, since...

They don't play, so aren't at fault for the performances?
They have hired (paperboy aside) GPC's personal choice, top names and successful trophy winners Mourinho/Van Gaal, and currently (alledged, but were plenty on here sayng he would be the best replacement if Pep left 2yrs ago) greatest new thing in the world from Ajax.
Backed said managers with more money than anyone, bar Chelsea recently.
Taking money out? doesn't matter as the above is true.
They don't spend all their time mouthing off to the media, making it about them, in fact they're pretty 'back seat'.
This "toxic atmosphere" ...is created by Neville and their 'fans' protesting (no idea why, the above makes it hypocritical) nothing to do with them.
Any ideas??

It's no where near their fault as much as them lot claim it is. Granted, when there's uncertainty with ownership it can filter down a little but their performances, ESPECIALLY as of late, are directly from a lack of an actual plan on the field. They STILL think they'll win most games because they're the "famous man utd". Last night it seemed as though their tactic was to pass the ball 3 or 4 times around the box and then go for screamers from 25 yards out.

There's no obvious plan where you look at them and go "ok I can at least see what they are trying to do here". Even against us Sunday it was to just hope on a pass cutting through and scoring first time hit. They got close just before half time but other than that it was zero threat from them. Even the relegation zone clubs get a couple of chances a half against us at least.

They're dreadful with a team full of big money signings and a track record of proven managers as you say.

Rags need to sell the aging stars. Go back to basics, start with a young progressive manager and get a young team on the pitch and mould them into how the club wants them to play.

It’s really not that difficult. Swallow the pride and restart the club.

They won’t and we will continue to enjoy their demise. Rag cunts.

Sell their aging stars... Theve only just bought them.

Sure the commentator said he has now had 5 cards in his 8 starts

Hannibal is not an academy player. They signed him from Monaco for £10m and he's two years older than Rico Lewis.

Most of the rags playing staff are either Dutch or cloggers - perhaps both at the same time.....
