No, Levy has a large share of the company that owns 85% of Spurs. Joe Lewis has the largest stake.

This, sadly.

I think so too. I have no optimism whatsoever about the current set up.

Two seasons minimum. And it's going to get a lot worse before we see a glimmer of light. Strap in.

Going to be bleak

Wouldn't care if we had several seasons outside the top 4 and trophyless. But we need to see a plan and we need to see it being implemented.

We can accept a regression next season but as long as we have a defined style of play, a transfer strategy and we're bringing in leaders, it will be accepted by most.

It will be very clear this summer if Ole is the right man for this. The early signs are obviously very poor but maybe he's already lined up the 3 or 4 leaders he needs. Maybe he's already sorted the transfer of 8 or 9 of the @#%&!s infesting the place.

Either way, this will be one of the most important summers in decades for the club. We've either learned from our mistakes or we'll continue making them for the foreseeable future.

For me he starts from scratch in August. It'll be a fresh start with some players leaving and some new arrivals coming changing the mood around the place.

When he came in the task at hand was to pick up despondent players. He did that extremely well. We were creating chances, scoring goels, and by extension not conceding much since the players were 10 yards higher and on top of our opponents. Chelsea away in the cup was a superb example of this.

Why did it all fall away at the end? After PSG we had quite a few injuries. His settled eleven selection early on was met with constant tinkering by the end. The football by the end became dire...but everyone is glad the season is over. The lingering stench of August-December meant even when we were piling up the wins our league position took a while to improve. The disappointment is we eventually got into the Top 4 then messed it up.

However Ole and Phelan know even getting Top 4 is not the yardstick for United. We would have had the same summer plans with Champions League football as we have without it. Because they both know what a successful United is made up of: the level of talent, style of player, mindset, dressing room culture. They know we are a long way off. The fact we are going after the young player at Swansea indicates a change in our recruitment. That's not a coinicidence.

Use the Europa for integrating youngsters. I expect Ole and Phelan want a full pelt at the title and will work towards it.

Worried yet?

I fancy us for 3rd and to play exciting, if open, football.

Really looking forward to seeing lads like garner having a run in the europa.

I'm worried we've not been bought by the Saudis yet.

Top 4 nailed on once fernades signs.

Can't wait for the season

No, very relaxed about the forthcoming season

Already resigned myself to finishing below 6th, lingard and pogba making me very angry, and Phil Jones making me laugh

Not at all
Get the fitness levels up. More competition for places. That first half team today with a couple of replacements - Rojo, Mata and Bailly in particular- could be good to watch next year.

Agreed. Need to make sure we get him and Maguire. We do that and we are in great shape.

Then a new striker, another cm, and a left back next summoh. Rebuild complete.

we need a Kante, Hargreaves player.
