surely forum logic dictates that we must sign his replacement this summer and let scholes sit on the bench for his final season

Blimey we may actually have to think about replacing him now.

Any decent players in the Angolan 4th division knocking about?

It's the moment of truth for The Glazers, Gill and Fergie. Obviously we need to replace him. We also need a new striker and soon a replacement for Giggs and VDS. Let's see if they're as good as their word and make the 'necessary' funds available. I suspect not.

The good news just keeps on coming. If the Glazers had any sense, they'd give SAF the money to replace them now rather than wait for a new manager who, let's be honest won't know as much about the team and what we need as Fergie does. I know there's an argument for letting the new guy bring in his own players but in SAF we have someone who is more likely to get the call right.

You're right, £4M will easily be enough. I assume you know of players in the youth team in those positions who can make the step up to Champions League football. You're not comparing like with like. It doesn't matter how much we paid in transfer fees for them, it matters how much we have to pay to replace them.

Of course no one expects a sensible answer from you, it'll just be more %@#$&!s and smart arse comments whilst you change the subject.

the point is that replacing said players isn't necessarily going to be down to the owners. it could be more about a test of the management. most United fans would much rather see Cleverley or Pogba or some such come through and this Hernandez fella shine than they would see tens of millions of quid chucked at the transfer market. or at least they would have in the not too distant old days anyway.
