If you became United Manager.....

Assuming the club gets sold to me and all the debts are gone, SAF has just announced he's retiring in May and I've just appointed you as his replacement, you have a billion pounds to spend, what would do and in what order? If you're a boring @#%&!, you'll probably say "go and give you some shit for being a tory" or something else entirely predictable.
Personally I'd give Rooney a contract extension, try and buy Ronaldo and Messi. Then I'd probably look at getting a replacement for VDS and Giggs.

Buy city.

Buy Ronaldo back and focus on youth development

Get rid of the fans.

get smashed

I'm surprised you're not already a Premiership manager with statements like that.

Hope that wasn't predictable.

employ Eric as my helper, and reintroduce the drinking, party, gambling culture of the 80's. I'd be Brian Clough to Eric's Peter Taylor and we'd shit all over the politic correctness that's, quite frankly, ruined the modern game (and society as a whole). I'd also invite a certain fan onto the pitch and @#%&! him on national tv.

Lonely up there on your pedestal?

Hopefully that would recreate all the success of that era, too.

I would give you some shit for being a tory

Didn't do Cloughie too much harm (in the late 70's). But seriously getting Eric back at this club would be the very first thing I would do.

Install a sunbed in my office.

Sell Berbatov. Get rid of the disabled area. Not offer Neville a new contract and make the Brazilian twins into wingers.
