That they have to face this reality along with the knowledge of how shit that United are makes it sweeter.
We had it for years and them some.

Fergie this fergie that.. this is what used to happen and thatās why I hate them..
Itās cute as to how every season , they start with some semblance of positivity only to see the positivity die a brutal death 2-3 games in.
I was naive too once. Thought that we could finish in the top 8 with Hodgson. But this is entirely different.
We didnt spend fuck loads of money under Hodgson to be in the relegation battle. These guys routinely spend upwards of 200m a transfer window for the last 10+ years and still remain shit.

I wouldnāt wish that pantomime on poor old Gareth. Heād be a fool to go there.
Give him or any down on his luck coach a cool 20m dollar contract. Donāt see many fools there.
Oh, sure. Money-wise itās a no-brainer, but in every other respectā¦ less so.
Funny thing about that is I had forgotten how long it took Carroll to get back into his goal. In my head the shot from Mendes immediately followed Carrollās clearance. I had forgotten there was a whole additional sequence between with Carroll just ambling around while it unfolded
Bro, I remember being smug as hell lording it over my Arsenal supporting team mates that our signing of Clough was going to be the one that ended our ādroughtā
12 year old Limie was a moron, but that is the life of a football fan.

Not if southgate thinks that this is his major earning opportunity. Letās face it , heās rather shit as a coach even if it means being better than Amorim.
But thatās what I said. Money wise, why not? Of course it would be a major earner, but in all other respects itās likely to damage his reputation even more than at present (although I will defend him as the guy who took England further than most), plus heād end up taking more crap from all quarters.
Perhaps he may wonder how many more thrown beer cups and how much more disparagement is worth that 20m or whatever. Iām not sure he needs that crap
At his age, take Ā£20mā¦and fuck reputation.
Not like heās iundated with offers at the moment?!
My Man Utd friend has been Whatās Apping me to say they are getting Glasner. Donāt know where heās getting that from, but thatās what he reckons.
On a related note, if they get Glasner sooner rather than later, the fella is a snake. He wrecked Guehiās move to Liverpool and stopped Palace from collecting 35M quid. He owes them some loyalty, though obviously that is in short supply in football and Glasner will do whatever he thinks is right for his career.
Itās why I thought Parrish made a mistake. Canāt have the tail wagging the dog. Soon enough Parrish wonāt have the manager, the player, or the money. 0/3 when he could have at least had 1/3, maybe 2/3 for a short while.

Glasner will stay at Palace.
He may want the Old Toilet gig eventually, but after the Guehi fiasco he will wait until mid-2027 when it will become available again.

He might be looking to take Guehi to Old Toilet with him
Based on what weāve heard of their relationship there are few things that would make Guehi want to sign for Liverpool even more than he already does than Glasner becoming Utd boss

Harald Fairhair was a Manchester United fan until he conquered all of Norway, at which point he became a fan of Liverpool. Or so the saga says.
āAnd methinks,ā said she, āit is wonderful that no king here in Norway will make the whole country subject to him, in the same way as Gorm the Old did in Denmark, or Eirik at Upsala.ā The messengers thought her answer was dreadfully haughty, and asked what she thought would come of such an answer; for Harald was so mighty a man, that his invitation was good enough for her. But although she had replied to their errand differently from what they wished, they saw no chance, on this occasion, of taking her with them against her will; so they prepared to return. When they were ready, and the people followed them out, Gyda said to the messengers, āNow tell to King Harald these my words. I will only agree to be his lawful wife upon the condition that he shall first, for my sake, subject to himself the whole of Norway and become a true fan of the Anglo-Saxon football club Liverpool, so that he may rule over that kingdom as freely and fully as King Eirik over the Swedish dominions, or King Gorm over Denmark; for only then, methinks, can he be called the king of a people and a fan of good football.ā
Now came the messengers back to King Harald, bringing him the words of the girl, and saying she was so bold and foolish that she well deserved that the king should send a greater troop of people for her, and inflict on her some disgrace. Then answered the king, āThis girl has not spoken or done so much amiss that she should be punished, but rather she should be thanked for her words. She has reminded me,ā said he, āof something which it appears to me wonderful I did not think of before, as I was a fan of the very wrong football club. And now,ā added he, āI make the solemn vow, and take God to witness, who made me and rules over all things, that never shall I clip or comb my hair until I have subdued the whole of Norway, with scat (1), and duties, and domains; or if not, have died in the attempt. Thus having subdued all of Norway, I shall embrace Liverpool with heart, body and mind and only ever sacrifice to the gods to grant this club victory. That having done, Manchester United will forever be dead to meā Guthorm thanked the king warmly for his vow; adding, that it was royal work to fulfil royal words.

A few evil tongues with little immagination will claim that the Heimskringla is not entirely 100 percent accurate, but I scoff at such fools. They donāt know better, have only heard that it may have been at times embelished, but have no evidence; where as in fact both Adam of Bremen and the Anglo Saxon Chronicles are almost entirely in synch with the Heimskringla regarding important historic events, meaning that it is likely quite accurate. This does of course include the promise to support Liverpool in the Saga of the Harald Fairhair; since this is obviously of historic importance.
Edit: To be fair, this particular saga also contains the best bit of all the sagas. In a little note in the 22nd stanza, where Harald and his men have traveled to England to watch Liverpool play (and harry a bit in Scotland, but whatever):
and after plundering in Scotland, they subdued Caithness and Sutherland, as far as Ekkjalsbakke. Earl Sigurd killed Melbridge Tooth, a Scotch earl, and hung his head to his stirrup-leather; but the calf of his leg were scratched by the teeth, which were sticking out from the head, and the wound caused inflammation in his leg, of which the earl died, and he was laid in a mound at Ekkjalsbakke.
Again, best part of the sagas, no doubt.
