Pick up a new manager in the close season, before or after the World Cup....

It’s time to move on..

Genuinely don't think it will make much difference who it is

A manager, any manager, won't be able to change the hierarchy and the approach our board have to the club. Guardiola hasn't done it on his own, as the obvious example - as has been said the city organisation implemented changes itself years ago, and guardiola is just the bald cherry on the top of that turd cake they have. Barca have done. Munich - and indeed german football - have done it.

Astonishing how far behind the times we are, but it's the price we are paying for 20 odd years of success - everyone at the club, including the fans, got a bit lazy and presumed winning was our right and not something that had to be earned by meticulous planning. Long standing changes need to be made and needed to be made years ago.





I'm off to bed ffs.

Surely a new manager can develop a style of play and play some decent football? It's not a terrible squad and even the scouting/youth setups have been invested in recently. The board might be clueless but that shouldn't mean we can't compete with the money and setup we have.

Hopefully, but whoever we bring in it just feels like we'll be bouncing from manager to manager in search of snippets of success here and there - fine, I suppose, if you're Chelsea and win the odd league or cup. Less fine if you do a Liverpool.

Long term strategy....

I never want to go out of the champions league again like last night...

Last night was down to team selection and tactics..

Would take Paul Ince if he had a go at the next Sevilla

Last night was the final straw for me.

Exactly.

The setup right to the top might not be great but let’s not pretend it’s Woodward picking the team.

Didn’t the glazers cut youth funding a while ago because they didn’t think they could compete with city. Now that’s a betrayal of united traditions. Yet they’re happy to play on that tradition for PR purposes.

He’s probably signing half the players for Facebook likes and commercial interests in mind. Wasn’t it reported when Fergie retired the glazers wanted marquee signings each summer for such reasons.

Yep. If it's a weak start to the season especially. And that looks likely.

All %@#$&!s aside, if Mourinho does indeed walk or is sacked in a few months time, and we can't deny its a possibility going by his track record, who in £#%&!s name are Utd going to go for? Particularly mid-season?

It's the Mourinho cycle, he's moaning in public, fighting the board behind the scenes - everyone's fault but his.

He's done a perfectly decent job in results terms, the game has just moved on. He can no longer take a financial advantage & galvanise it into something supremely efficient & win all the pots - everyone else has the same, if not more, money to spend & they deploy it better.

He'll have his inevitable proper meltdown before Christmas, unless we somehow manage to placate him with the right transfers in the next few weeks. Unlikely as Ed chases Bale & Mourinho wants, seemingly, boring old @#%&!s to come in. Plus ca change. Who could have ever seen this coming

Meanwhile someone () sages Sarri earlier in the thread & he's at Chelsea - it will be no surprise to see them resurgent & playing attractive football, improving the players they have and supplementing the talent with quality (Jorginho will be superb for them alongside Kante).

All of this. Amazing happenings that could never have been envisaged.
