You realise this sort of thing is always done on purpose to generate attention right?

wrt to the being a decent person in real life having just finished the aforementioned Gerrard doc it basically finishes with glowing words from Mourinho which is one of the last people I would expect to say such nice things about someone

Yea I’m not really here to defend Jose through any perceived virtues either to bring the argument towards a state of equilibrium.
Will have to inspect the data in a few months on mysterious manchester murders before I can put 2+2 together.

Yeah because the one thing we always lack at United is attention.

Solskjaer to be manager for the duration of this season or is he a longterm solution? I'm hoping for the latter.

I don't remember these types of results in the league being common do you?

there's an unspoken assumption here which is: this awful lolreal run surely couldn't happen under an expert expensive big name manager

dont have to go back further than 9:30am this morning to figure that this is an unwise assumption

My point was just that Madrid looks a shambles this year, even though they'll probably bink a CL but are losing to more Levante's and Alaves' than I can ever remember and that has been a trend for some time. Obviously winning all the CL titles sweep all that under a rug

that's the rub though. Even if it is a 2 1/2 team league, they are still producing in the highest profile cup competition that isn't the world cup or euros.

It'll be nice when we're not the butt end of jopkes anymore. It'll likely be a while still for that though

I was about to say that there is no way that they can present him as the long-term solution. But, then I remembered lolUnited.

He's supposed to be in for just the rest of the season and it'll then go hard after someone more high profile I'm guessing

Please don't leave Martymc. I feel my post may have contributed to your decision. I hope it did not as your are aware that glasgow is not & was never belfast.

For what its worth, I feel some of your pain regarding the issues you spoke about. Fortunately us glaswegians never suffered like you peeps did during the troubles. And so could never truly understand your feelings.

Sorry bro, please come back.

If Leeds go up, wait for all the gossip for Bielsa.
He'd sort them out in preseason, do a couple of years and then step aside for Poch.

I would fancy to put another 6 goals away against a Solskjaer coached team.

Bielsa will only leave Leeds if he isn’t backed properly by the club. He won’t leave just because United came calling, that’s how goat he is.

I don't think managers are the be all and end all fwiw. But I'm much happier with Klopp (and yes the players he's been able to attract and the funds he's had to spend) than I was with Roy. I enjoy watching football again. Some trophies would be nice but I enjoy watching my team everytime they play now

You might be playing more enjoyable football because you have a substantially better player in virtually every position.

Surely selling a striker awful at finishing and off the ball for 28M should count as haul of the century?

Ole confirmed. The shorts wearing balloon popper returns as his assistant and Carrick & McKenna stay on.

zero CL success
SIXTEENTH PLACE IN DECEMBER LOL
fell out with everyone at chelsea because of aforementioned personality disorder
made mun boring as hell
made mun a laughing stock
got sacked in 8th place
fell out with everyone at mun because of aforementioned personality disorder
mctominay
that CL game with chelsea when they went to atletico and defended for 90 mins plus injury time
see that one about selling KDB for nothing
randomly banishing people for no reason (shaw, martial, pogba)

feel free to add yall. there's dozens more i just cant think of them at this time

A shame this report card doesnt include his Spain years, as it featured classics such as:

- side line eye gouging
- playing Pepe in midfield for star studded real madrid

How is it desperation? They have signed a manager on a short term deal until bigger names become available in the Summer and they have more time to work out potential deals. If they don't think Jose is working out and is being detrimental to our results it makes perfect sense.
