Reminds me of a painting job near Heaton park. House was massive. Was on the top runs with a paintbrush stuck to the end of a stick. Snapped off and hit every garden ornament. Was gutter paint, not comin off. Same house, spent the day undercoating, inside and out. Went back next day to gloss it. Get a phone call: "this gloss" "Its not shiny". "What do yer mean it's not shiny?" We've only undercoated the whole lot twice. Never got asked back.

I’d play Hitler on the right wing and Sutcliffe up front to hammer his crosses home. West to bring on near the end, if required, to bury a late chance or two.

Shipman as club doctor?

Or in Rooney's case Duncan Disorderly.

I'm still salivating at the thought of the Waistcoat being there next season. Dull, uninspiring football led by a dull, uninspiring man.
But even if Southgate doesn't take it their only real alternative would be Tuchel, and they won't like him at all - too demanding for the rags.

Goldstein talking bollocks as usual

I like it when ex rags go public about how utterly shit the club is. Cole and the father of the year are the latest ones.

They will never move forward till they ditch their obsession with the past. They have become a parody club. All I heard today in the media was stuff about "The Class of 92" and their famous battle with Arsenal. The world of football is moving forward more rapidly than ever. It is absurd for United and their fans (and a dying media) to fixate on what happened 25 years ago. The first rule of modern business is if you can't embrace change you will die.

I had a similar short conversation with a rag supporter last week. I honestly believe they largely thought it would be business as usual when Fergie left, and that the success would continue.They have wasted so much money , time, resources etc. attempting to remain relevant and keep pace. There should have been a massive reset when the dictator retired but they were too shortsighted and self obsessed. This "hung up on the past" mentality you refer to is all too obvious, which is helping to keep the club suppressed. Long may it continue.
