They have things to fix on a few different levels and it takes time.

All clubs go through these spells, this is not the first and not the last time a big club is in struggle before they eventually come back.

We’ve all been there at least once as fans of our clubs, thinking that we finally got it right and success is around the corner… then more changes and/or more time was needed.

Not counting an unexpected, sudden, wild and near triumph like Liverpool of 13/14, by the way.

It’s also the world’s most popular game where opinions how to fix things can be really wild.

I’m just waiting to see which media plonker will have the nerve to suggest Alonso is ‘in talks’ to become Manu manager. You just know someone won’t be able to resist. :astonished_face:

I fully expect someone in United to raise a query because they are clueless

2677

What’s this Carrick experiment about? Does he have a chance of getting it?

2678

Is there not a link to Gareth Southgate there?

Here’s hoping.

United supporting work colleague is near shut down. Special times.

He was linked with the job previously, so i wouldnt rule it out completely.

He was in the job previously for 3 games.

I mean, there’s always a small chance for it to work for longer. Why would anyone categorically reject the idea at the start. See how it goes.

But their plan is to find a new man in the summer.

2681

When do they phone Goldbridge?

This DNA thing is the most grating thing I’ve ever come across. Like did Ferguson rediscover it in the 1980s? After they lost it under Busby? No they just made some poor decisions on and off the pitch and bought into the spell of one man (That was Busby, it now seems its Ferguson).

I suspect it is from the same people who think football was invented with the Premier League.

I watched that match and ours, what a difference, what boring and hopelessly bad football Slot makes us play, I can’t wait for him to leave.

2687

Just saw that they managed to hire Steve Holland as one of the assistants.

There are no guarantees of course, but that is objectivelly a very good capture for United.

2688

Maybe it’s for Gareth in the summer :wink:

Dear Mods,
Please lock this thread until it is mathematically impossible for them to finish higher than Liverpool.

Dear Forumites,
Please refrain from talking or writing about these cunts as the shame of them potentially finishing higher than us is driving me mad.

Thank you all.

The way things are going, I think we’ll have to lock in once it’s mathematically impossible for us to catch them and qualify for CL.

Fuck 'em.

We’re having an historically bad run and they’re still behind us.

Our form over the last 10 games is better…

However I forgot it all matters what happened in the last game, surprised no one’s tipping them for the title.

Actually, their attacking stats have been great throughout the season, which completely surprised me. Now they have a coach whose only job is to play to the strength of the players at his disposal and, more importantly, he genuinely cares for the club - both are a complete opposite of Amorim’s behaviour. Combination of those two traits will prove to be crucial for CL qualification in the season where their top four rivals are being wildly inconsistent. They will finish above us just because of that, I’m sure of it - it’s up to us to finish fifth.
