How long do you think it will be until we win the league again?

Next season.

Does the club really care about being the best in the world again? We seem more like a business with a football team.

Since 2009 we've shown an alarming lack of ambition and direction

Didn’t do Juventus any harm. Maybe we should try to bribe Mike Dean.

Knowing our luck the posturing @#%&! would take it, stay schtum and £#%&! it up..

5-10 years.

I’ll go for season 2022-23

By rights City should win the treble every year now until the end of time. The richest club in history. And yet....nobody’s won consecutive titles in the last decade and Liverpool who everyone’s so terrified about have won £#%&! all. We could easily win it next year if the stars align. We just aren’t going to wipe the floor with everyone on the reg.

I think it will be 10 years plus.liverpool haven’t won it for 30 years but football is changing and usually the team that spends the most and has the largest wage bill wins the league.

I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land - David Moyes 2013

We've seen clubs like Chelsea turn it around and win the league the next season with a new manager. But their squad was a lot stronger than ours.

There are huge problems on and off the field that will prevent us from competing for a long time. Part of that is Woodward and his thirst for certain types of players. Part is Mourinho. Part is the players just aren't as good as people say they are.

The biggest problem though is the weight of expectation on the team. It's toxic.

Liverpool are for me the bigger threat because you can see klopp there for a long time and if they get their act together and win the league, they will become quite powerful again. If they fail this year though and he wins nothing then it could easily go the other way. They worry me though.

Can’t see us doing it in the next 5 years tbh but there’s always a Leicester one off. I sense the club knows this.

Said it would be a decade when we employed Moyes....

This is becoming alarmingly evident in the home performances especially.

I don't think the squad is that bad. We have a world class goal keeper a world class centre midfielder England's left back who looks increasingly good. We should be building the team around Pogba his talent is ridiculous.

Lots of good players I think Fred is more than useful and a good foil for Pogba as he likes a tackle. We have 3 major weaknesses which are serious

1. A commanding experience d centre half to run the defence.

2. A right back who can go forwards and cross

3. A dynamic quick centre forward.

He has managed by luck I think to find a half decent system with full backs pushed high and the defensive midfielder making a 3. He doesn't get the full backs overlapping which renders the system pretty tame.

Biggest priority is to buy a centre half in Jan and in meantime to experiment with Sanchez or Martial at 9 and play Dalot.

two windows.

I don't think Mourinhou trust the players not to make £#%&! ups (and he's right with some of them) which I think explains his cautious approach.

He's finally found the right role for Fellani - and he may prove better in that role than Matic in some games.

I've said it before, but it's worth repeating. Fegie would win the league with this squad....but unfortunately we don't have Fergie, nor is there anyone currently managing who could win a league and get to the finals of the European Cup with four or five journeymen in the squad.

If we want to compete with City or Chelsea, we need to spend like them.

It was actually Bono who said that.

Incorrect. The right role for Fellaini is in a circus.
