Meant post Fergie.

Would be a wild thing to say what it looks like its saying.

Not having that. They had a group of decent players as I recall.

Jesus - Ji Sung Park didn’t even make the bench for one CL final iirc

He’d be first choice midfielder for us now.

We have shit@#%&!ed ourselves into being the new Spurs/Villa.

Going to be a long journey back

Ralf's clearly been taking notes all year - the laziness, the leaks, the level of play, the inability to follow instructions and so on. We've seen these players get managers sacked, when it should be the players. Martial being Joel's favourite player should not make him being immune from being binned off.

This is the level of cull that Keano would have done. No contract renewals for those expiring. There's a sizeable amount of money saved immediately.

The struggle will be getting rid of those that are still on contracts.

Why do it piecemeal when you're going to simply expose new players to unflushed turds? Root and stem boys, root and stem.
