    Manchester United Thread

    To be fair though, any decent manager would have insisted on having control when they've seen the shit show Murtough/Arnold/Woodward were running. Obviously ETH didn't do any better but at the end of the day I would have been worried about the ambitions of a manager who didn't want to wrestle...

    Transfer Discussion Thread

    He's one of the most technically gifted players that I've seen come through the United academy but he always looked like he'd struggle with the physicality of premier league football to me. Leaving the UK was a great move for him at the time. I would love to see how he'd handle it now after a...

    Manchester United: Where to next?

    Bit of an over simplification, don't you think? As Chef has mentioned, you can't fluke a Champions League win. Nor do honeymoon periods/new coach bounces stretch so long. Tuchel is an excellent cup manager, that should not be up for debate. Bayern have been trending downward for a long time...

    Manchester United: Where to next?

    That's my concern for sure. I'd prefer someone who is more suited for that 'project' but Tuchel is the best (realistic) name we've been linked with so far.

    Manchester United: Where to next?

    I'd take Tuchel. His rep for being hard to work with does worry me though, and I'm not 100% convinced he's the right profile for where the team currently is. However I think he's clearly the best available candidate.

    I suspect a lot of that inconsistency is a result of him never getting a rest TBF. They say that the best ability is availability and Bruno never misses a game. For that reason alone he has to stay.

    Yeah, we all would have said the same thing at the end of the 21/22 season. IMO our improvement in ETH's first year was largely down to the signings of Licha, Casemiro, and Eriksen. Those three (alongside Bruno, Shaw, and Rashford) were our spine. If you look at that spine this season we've...

    The Manager Merry-go-Round

    Hence why I'm interested to see how he would manage at a more stable club with more professional players at his disposal. I'm curious as to how much of that failure was due to United just being a shambles and him not having any authority to make lasting changes in an interim capacity....or...

    The Manager Merry-go-Round

    If this eventuates it will be interesting to see how he gets on. I wouldn't read too much into his disastrous spell at United. He inherited an absolute dumpster fire and it felt like the players never gave him a chance because they knew he was only sticking around for a few months anyway.

    I'm pretty sure the guys who sacked him have since been sacked themselves now.

    If you've ever been to a derby at AAMI Park and experienced the crowd for yourself it is an extremely outlandish call though. You don't need that many people in the terraces to generate some good noise at AAMI Park, the stadium is excellent. Derby crowds are always super vocal too, especially...

    I don't understand the logic that he would be an undeserving winner if he managed to win it all with a team that you think is inferior to his competitors. How does that make sense?

    It probably seems unfair to single out one person after that collapse but I thought Rashford's effort as a sub was absolutely atrocious. Bruno, Garnacho, and even Antony, were working their arses off all game but Rashford barely got out of a jog in the 20 odd minutes he managed. Chelsea were...

    I can't wait for the umpires to overcorrect that next week when Hawthorn take on Collingwood...He'll probably win more high contact free's in one game against us than he did for the entirety of his last season with us.
