United Thread - 2023/24

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Just thinking about the managers they hired since baconface.

They hired Moyes, presumably on the grounds that he was Scottish, like baconface. That didn't work.
They then decided it wasn't being Scottish that was the key, but being a serial winner. So they hired Mourinho then van Gaal. That didn't work.
They then decided they needed someone with the 'united DNA' so they hired Solskjaer. That didn't work.

Having decided that hiring someone with similar qualities to baconface probably wasn't a great strategy, they looked around and decided that Klopp had done a great job in turning Liverpool's fortunes around so they hired Rangnick, the man who invented the 'gegenpressing' style that Klopp aodopted. That didn't work.

Finally, they decided that the only solution was to hire someone like Pep, so they hired Ten Bob, who not only worked under Pep but was also bald. That doesn't seem to be working so what the fuck are they going to do next, as it looks like they've run out of ideas?

Perhaps Sarah Ferguson will be next?

Not had a manager with the same nickname as baconface yet.

I just don't get how they don't have a style of play after 14 months of Ten Hag being in charge. I thought he was good with Ajax and got them playing a nice possession based game, De Zerbi and Ange have managed to change Brighton and Spurs' style overnight.

Getting into Clarkie territory here, but fuck it. Am I the only one to notice the date on that?

When that lot lose, Howard Hockin from the 93:20 podcast retweets tweets he’s bookmarked that highlight their delusion.

There we’re quite a few posted last night that are still very relevant these days and doubly funny, years on.

Be serious. Big Dunc more likely.

Or they could try Suella Braverman, as she seems to be keen on keeping foreigners out, which their defence can't seem to manage.

United fans are finding the second half of a Tale of Two Cities harder going than the first.

So just the worst of times so.

I’d pay good money to see Big Dunc’s reaction to Sancho refusing to play for him.

Comical club that the Portuguese rat is single handedly managing to keep them from becoming relegation fodder.
Gotta be honest though.....looks like they might have a player in Hojlund.
