The club are remaining tight lipped according to the beeb. Their article really does highlight what a bunch of spoilt kids that club has in it's squad.


Welbeck considering his future because he's being played out if his favoured position? What?


Try being good enough you cock.

LVG has probably agreed a deal in principle with Spurs that is just waiting to be signed. I'm not sure LVG is the right manager for us though. He's definitely got the experience and stature for the job, but with the expected rebuild I would've thought they would get someone younger. LVG will also be preoccupied with the WC, we need someone to hit the ground running, get players signed before the WC even starts, we can't waste another summer transfer window. Not sure how LVG can commit until after the WC. My vote would go for Klopp...

At Chrimbo there was still optimism that we could finish top 4. We've actually got worse since then, the performances against Olympiakos (away), and Liverpool and City at home were especially dire. Yesterday was just as bad, and when he came out and said he thought our passing game was brilliant...well, it was only a matter of time

Not a chance with Klopp.


He's just turned down Barca, turned down a whole host if clubs last summer And just this week said he's still too much in love with BVB to go anywhere else. A few years down the line maybe, but not now.


My money would be on Van Gaal or a gamble on Giggs. Outside chance of Simeone I suppose.

You've changed your tune on LVG ;-)


I agree that Klopp is unlikely, it's a preference rather than a prediction. I wouldn't say no chance though. Maybe he thinks he's taken Dortmund as far as he can. It can't be good for morale to see his best players leave for their main rivals.

With regards to the Barca job, a lot of potential candidates will be put off by their transfer embargo. A new manager will usually want new players.


I expect Giggs will be a stand-in, but surely no more. We need proven managerial experience. Great players don't always make great managers....

Changed my tune on LVG? What did I say? My memory is terrible. If it was about him coming to spurs, I'd stand by it if Moyes was kept on. If United were managerless then it wouldn't be a tough choice between the two.

Hodgson's a dud - so he'll end up at ManU. BFS will be available to Spurs to make use of Adebayor's aerial qualities and Moyes will probably be too shell shocked to do anything useful or creative for a while so will probably go to Newcastle and Pardew will return to Upton Park to annoy Arsene - who will see that as the final straw and will 'retire' to PSG.


Simple.

Blimey a few days away and all hell let's loose !! Rags was originally a United fans term as in 1930/31 season United were almost bankrupt, 1st Division but only attracting 4,000 at Owed Trafford- Manchester City Council and er, oh yes, er Manchester City FC bailed them out !!! There kit, at the time, was so repeatedly worn it was almost thread bare-hence rags. Oh, that wasn't the first time City and MCC bailed United out!!!! Welcome Bovine, London is Blue (and No, I don't mean those Chelsea baskets !!!) CTWD

From the beeb


" One unqualified success for Moyes was his relationship with Wayne Rooney, still trying his heart out for United and his manager in the final seconds of misery at Goodison Park.

There is irony there, too, in that Moyes and Rooney parted on sour terms when he left Everton as a teenager and was intent on leaving United when he arrived as manager.

Moyes handled this stick of dynamite left behind by Ferguson deftly, with Rooney producing outstanding form and also pledging his long-term future to the club."



What?!?!?

At many other clubs he would've gone by Christmas RC.

To go from winning the PL by 11 points to a distant 7th place, not even qualifying for Europe (hopefully) isn't normal...

I was just thinking about the speech by SAF


Sunday 12th May

I'd also like to remind you that when we had bad times here the club stood by me, all my staff stood by me, the players stood by me - your job now is to stand by our new manger. That is important


Guess its a different time now that when SAF took charge
