Allardyce may come out of retirement too.

Thatās not the point (I think we were as bad, but for less time). The point is that there is nothing for any club that is a shambles off the pitch. If your owners are shit, youāre winning nothing.
Letās see, 28% win rate at Derby, 26% at DC United, 13%(!) at Birmingham, and 20% at Plymouth Argyle. Seems absolutely qualified to coach at a troubled giant club.

i heard the fight started because the 2 fans got in each other ways when trying to leave Old Trafford as soon as they could!

Possibly, but I actually predict the second coming which will be heavily based on the same story that brought them success previously only using the womenās team who without any training or story arc become far stronger than the mens team.
Old Toilet will have been built far bigger and nick named LFC Killer before it gets dismantled from within by a plucky Tranmere Rovers team.

They hire a new DoF named Connolly. Turns out to be a distant relative of Billy.
Carrick has been appointed according to the BBC and will be playing. 4-2-3-1 system. Apparently some details still need to be ironed out.
Are the wingers nicely wide, wide enough?
Because, you know, thatās their DNA from years and decades agoā¦

Like who to play on the wings because they sold them all

Is this where Carrick tells them the squad is suited to 3-4-3?

The saving grace for a lot of their players, especially Diallo and Mainoo, is that Carrick will play the formation that suits their squad. Not sure where that leaves Cunha, though, given that Fernandes plays in the role that is likely his best.
Would he play off the left of that three? fernandes in the middle and Mbuemo on the right?
Why are they obsessed with telling everyone and their dog what they want to do.

Soā¦ it doesnāt suit their squad or all of their current key players (even if Iām not impressed by Cunha so far)?
Joking aside, itās almost impossible to have a squad that is 100% suited to the formation.
But there are different combinations in a back 4 to fit both Fernandes and Cunha in.
Oh no, Gary Neville, they might have one winger more on the outside and one more on the inside. Blasphemy!

I do feel Man Utd continue to try and complicate what at the basics is a simple game.

I feel they might try and do the opposite.
From Amorim to something āless experimentalā. And then tomorrow when itās still not good enough, they will want something sexy again. We see a bit of those reactions everywhere.
The shouts to go back to their DNA (playing with wingers is not DNA, by the way) would be actually going back to the past. Though Iām not sure whether their club will do what some of those shouts call for. Weāll see at the end of the season.
Football is I would say more of a free game, rather than simple. And some things in it are the same as on the day the game was invented. Blokes passing a ball to each other, getting past opponents, winning space, scoring goals and defending your own one. But it evolved with time by, yes, becoming more complex.
Iām not getting now into any sort of taste who likes watching what, I know that when I watch a game from the 00ās (I did that a bit during lockdown), yes thereās dynamism and end to end stuff, but dear me, some of those sequences of a team on the ball are justā¦ wild. Fliper stuff. Is it of better quality than today? I would say no. That was the best of that time, this is the best of this time.
If it was simple, it would be also simple to fix things. Which often isnāt. Itās not exact science.
Sort of how Cruyff said, playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.
