Step 1 - bring in manager who plays a totally different formation and style to the last.
Step 2 - spend hundreds of millions on players to suit formation and style of new manager.
Step 3 - sack manager
Step 4 - go back to Step 1.

The problem at Trafford is fans. They expect to be successful because they got lucky with Ferguson. They have only won the league with Ferguson and Sir Matt. At ALL other times, bar one guy pre WW1, they have been decidedly average/shit.

They are in back in their lane.

That one guy was Ernest Magnall… he left the Rags because even though he’d won two league titles and and FA Cup with the fuckers, we were still the bigger club back then. His last game for them was actually a derby that we won 0-1 at OT and he knew he was coming to us before that game.

He then was our manager for 12 years. Only Wilf Wild and Les McDowell have managed City for a longer period of time. The Wars meant McDowell has by far the most games with 592 over Magnall and Wild… although Pep is only 31 games away from breaking that.

Proper Bert!

 

[brazilians hurt]

Can’t get my head round it. Kept him when 15th, now in 6th and looking much better, so sacked him. Chelsea vibes.

Maresca will be waiting for his phone to ring. I’m good with that, he’s shite.

And highly emotional which could be fun

Jim Ratcliffe is Peter Swales with more money, less self awareness, less football nous and a marginally better wig

His record with sports teams he’s got involved with is not good is it?!

 

[cheekybids]

Yes Agents Wilcox and Berrada have taken him out. The immediate plan to replace Amorim with an even bigger imbecile is a master stroke. The Save our Fletch campaign needs to kick into gear.

Fletcher manager & a double pivot of the Fletcher twins for the derby would be fantastic.

Ha ha. What a time to be a City fan.

I'd say it's more to do with the media blowing smoke up their arses all the time... Sky, Talkshite etc. keep peddaling the lie that they're some kind of mythical club with a divine right to be winning things – and they fucking believe it!!!

“But this is Manchester United”
How many times have we heard that trotted out?
Agree with you 100%

 

[wolviedinho]

Since Pep joined us the rags have had 7 managers in 9 and a half years...

Fucking basket case of a club

Just another badly run club.

Got it right for one golden period.

It will never be enough.

Top manager they had. Sending my thoughts to their entitled fanbase this cold morning -:)

 

[waspish]

Jordan on talksport saying Emery should be there next manager haha as if he would go somewhere where there is expectations that you have to win every game or you get called out

 

[blue_danube]

Give it Rooney til end of season.

 

[Akira]

Surprised they actually sacked him. His words post-match wasn't even that damning, but probably still triggered some big egos in the staff.

No outstanding managerial names in the market this time, my guess is they will push for Maresca. Hopefully they end up with Sir Waistcoat.

This is the Manchester United now. Just another throwaway season after another. Another "season's over" before it actually ended and praying for stability in the next one. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Give it Rooney til end of century.

Corrected that for you

It used to annoy me but it’s insidious behaviour to milk a cash cow. We get the cheat bullshit and they get “their great” bullshit and it dictates decisions.

Brilliant sportwashing/brain washing at its best.

 

[Blueknows]

Why? It’s a fucking great time to play them. Chaos and none of them knowing if the new loon will “fancy” them and want to keep them.

We should be bumming them brutally.

Exactly , a change of manager starts a whole new rebuild not just squad wise but whole new backroom staff /coaches ect , fuck em karma is a wonderful thing when it comes to them

 

[blue_danube]

Actually...

Will they finally do it....



Southgate!

Interesting that, cos they just read out the names of the current top 12 names with the bookies, and don’t think I heard his name mentioned.

Or he knew the sacking was in the pipeline and wanted to express his point of view before being silenced by conditions associated with his sacking.

 

[I'm not really here]

Imagine the piss it would boil if he comes to us after pep and wins the title

 

[Gazza]

So utd don't have to spend more money on monogrammed sportswear they're getting Ronald MacDonald in as a replacement.
