Think of the way they present themselves, the way their former players speak, they are all fucking arrogant and would not admit their best (football) was long gone; and allow their club to go down and rebuild.
This is true and they are the best run rich club and Brighton are the best run smaller club.
But when Guardiola leaves it might be different because all their success is down to him.
So any new manager coming in will be in a similar situation to when Man U replaced Ferguson.
I think the second part is more important than the first part. You don’t have to be a football person if you own a successful club. I very much doubt John Henry knows the ins and outs of a counter press but you do have to hire the right people at the right time.
Gazidis is a good example of this for me. I think overall he was a clown show at Arsenal but he learned from those mistakes and was part of the team that helped turn Milan around.
I don’t think it will be like the Ferguson situation because the world class structure is still there unless there’s a mass exodus of Txiki Begiristain and co.
No, you don’t have to be football people but failing that you have to employ the best people to handle and advise, United had Woordward at the helm and we thank them for it. It is one of the main reasons why they have been set back so far.
Didn’t he start as a commercial side guy who just kind of fell upwards into being in charge of more of the football operations? I could be mixing him up with someone else but I thought he was one of the guys who spearheaded the drive to have ManU with 100s of different commercial partners.
Ferdinand and Scholes on the buildup for the Bayern game and surprise surprise both trying to claim Harry Kane would’ve preferred the United move over Bayern.
I think United might get murdered tonight.
Their bench looks absolutely tragic.
I don’t think that’s an outrageous claim actually.
What’s funny is it makes United complete mugs. More than they already were.
Yo who said Onana was good lol
I fucking love that United are fucked. I’ve spent years waiting for this to happen to these cunts, the best part is they never learn their lesson
I love how they got rid of De Gea who they thought was crap and spent 60m on a GK they should have gotten for free and now are a lot worse
Hojlund off the mark.
Let’s hope that it takes several more years to learn. Hopefully, their arrogance will continue…
Kane must be so relieved that he didn’t join this lot
Utter mess on and off the pitch.
Ten Hag masterclass

This is like his second or third public apology in just six matches?
Jesus Christ, thank fuck we didn’t sign him. And some of us were concerned about Ramsdale liking the camera a bit much, this guy has gone a level beyond.
Wonder why the narrative amongst Man Utd isn’t that they must win the league with the amount of money they’ve spent?
