We've bought average players for a lot more than that. A veritable bargain.

Would have him here tomorrow (as well as a director of football that shares the same philosophies) but Woodward wouldn’t sign off on paying that much for a manager imo.

Woodward is probably in full on panic mode. The gimps leave him in charge of football matters so you'd think this all reflects badly on him, even if he is bringing in the sponsors.

Now the question again falls to our transfer overlords up in the boardroom, are they willing to make the amount of changes that would be needed to turn this bunch of £#%&!ers in challengers again?

We hope every time we get a new manager that they'll get rid of the $#*!@#%&!s yet they're never sold

He's another one they should have had on the "Fathers" radio discussion.

He often claims to be a sage with us. I can't remember though if he's ever correct.

He hated LVG and was saying he'd be sacked for ages.

So he was eventually correct on the "stopped clock" principle, that's how a lot of these pundits work tbh.

Could be.

Why did Zidane leave Real ? If he was burnt out, why would he come here after just 6 months off ?

Was it because he would maybe have been sacked, had they lost the ECL final ?

Allegedly made a phone call to Mou to tell him there isn't a plot for him to take over at OT.

What a snake. VVG2C.

Mourinho did same with Van Gaal months before he was given the job.

Getting a taste of his own medicine.

The board with power is the one with 6 Glazers on it.

I’m sick of hearing that phrase over the past 5 years. Been used to justify all kinds of shit decisions.

on a related note, in the under 75 five a side episode, dick byrne can be seen wearing a united jacket.

He is only Woodward’s third manager. His fourth manager in five years will be the right one and lead us to glory. Can’t fail with woodward backing him.

But pochettino has no sell on value.

A lot of sources now reporting that Zidane is distancing himself from the job and doesn't actually want it.

So that leaves the number of viable candidates as follows:

Steve Bruce
Mick McCarthy
Michael Carrick

Could probably convince Sean Dyche to give it a go
