LinkinFighter Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Like the last Major Investment where they spent 130 million on Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka? Or the major investment that say them spend 50M on Fred? Or the major investment where they gave Alexis Sanchez 320,000 per week?They clearly need even more spent. To be honest, they only spent 70 million net in the summer. Not much in today's market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Manchester City losing, Everton heading into the relegation zone, Man United losing and only 2 points above them ... I’m away for a Carlsberg . -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sit 2 points clear of relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksandr Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Worth remembering that when Ole took over and went on a good run, they were really over scoring compared to their xG. Obviously the owners didn't take xG into account when appointing him full time, and now paying the price for that. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this chat on here recently but when you consider the number of top notch players they need for a squad worth mentioning, and the cost of such players, its fucking mind bending whats required there. You just cant fall that far behind and they are realistically 4 or 5 years of year on year good progress away from being relevant. They probably need to spent something like half a billion to get what they need and thats without considering wastage and failed signings etc that always happen. Post Fergie has been an unmitigated disaster for them. The scale of it doesnt get talked about but thats fall of an empire stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Bridge Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 For the 6th richest team in any sport (3rd in football) to be so far away from success is some achievement. Bravo custodians of Man Utd. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbroathlegend36-0 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 They’ll bring in the Longstaff brothers for 100 million in January. I mean that’s normally how they do business these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Looking at Man Utd and recent history when they won the league under Fergie even then it was papering over cracks. The rot is set deep and lies at the door of the Glazers and Woodward. They are just run as a business and have no football people in the decision making process. The Pogba signing can be confirmed as just a shirt selling exercise. The footballing merits of that can be put to rest. Things won't change there until the Glazers and their yes men are binned. You look at their squad and it is full of dross. Ole is out of his depth though and will be the fall guy but nothing will change. Klopp or Guardiola couldn't do much to improve things. They still make massive amounts of money so I assume by that so do the Glazers? They have a mid table squad and a relatively novice head coach so they are trending in the right direction. Maybe Mourinho didn't too badly in hindsight? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Post Fergie has been an unmitigated disaster for them. The scale of it doesnt get talked about but thats fall of an empire stuff. Amen. But the squad wasn't great under Ferguson, it's just that he was a ridiculously good manager. He was able to wring performances out of individuals and the team that no-one else could have. His presence, authority, intensity, consistency, expectations and motivational skills made a barely top four squad champions against wildly higher spending opponents.The squad was better than it is now, of course. Who's the second best player in their books?I say all that and I never really liked the guy... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can talk about spending this and spending that but the most important person is the man in the dugout and his coaching staff. Klopp’s got Jordan Henderson lifting European Cups alongside James Milner, Andy Robertson, Gini Wijnaldum etc. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertlegend Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 That starting line up from Man Utd today must be the worst they have ever put out for a premier league game. To think of the money they have laid out to get in this position Is mind blowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
