Shame we’re aren’t more like Brighton
Sounds like there is recognition amongst the hierarchy that the squad isn’t good enough, which is promising at least.
They were decent in getting rid this summer. There is hope it works again next year and that we buy top talent againSounds like there is recognition amongst the hierarchy that the squad isn’t good enough, which is promising at least.
Zirkzee aside, I’d say we had a good window.Ironically, its this mentality that probably caused him to retain ETH after the FA Cup and invest further in an ETH squad that exacerbated his original point; ultimately leading to a sacking.

Yoro
De Ligt
Ugarte (has played and excelled under Amorim)
Mazraoui
Zirkzee.
I reckon thats going to be the split of good vs bad signings given time and an 80% hit rate any club would take. If you look at our departures there isn’t a single player that would make us stronger now. Possibly McTominay as a squad player but many would argue against that suggestion.
But that's not the point, is it? The point is that it was a misconception that just improving the squad would improve things and that EtH could be the one to improve the team. But as it turns out, EtH isn't a Verstappen, to stay in the used metaphor.Zirkzee aside, I’d say we had a good window.
I was replying to Raoul not SJR. Raoul said our transfers over the summer have exacerbated SJRs point about the squad and I disagree with that. I think Zirkzee aside we have improved the squad over the summer with 4 good players coming in and plenty of poor players going out.But that's not the point, is it?

It will be made known that certain players were left bemused by the owner comments as that is not something that Glazers did publicly. But it will be said after those players leave United. Guaranteed.Zero, it's one thing being snide with a manager who you can pull the rug from but the owner? Doesn't happen.
So according to the article they are “reluctantly considering” reducing the budget given to the disabled supporters club from 40k per year to 20k per year.
20k saved in a year. What’s that going to achieve? Its buttons when you look at it as a yearly budget
Fergie grabs Ratcliffe by the bollocks and says “ Do ye ken who I am ya lanky lavvy heid?”Deserves a caption. what did Ferguson say to Jim today.?
Disgusting is what it is.Marginal gains innit.
If the squad aren't good enough, why on Earth have these people sanctioned the spending of c. £600M on these players?Sounds like there is recognition amongst the hierarchy that the squad isn’t good enough, which is promising at least.
INEOS aren’t responsible for all of that amount, having only this summer under their belt, and the squad not being good enough isn’t entirely down to the players Erik bought in - we have long standing squad issues.If the squad aren't good enough, why on Earth have these people sanctioned the spending of c. £600M on these players?
You can't spend that amount of money and then moan that the squad aren't good enough.
It staggers me that this point has to be made again and again and again.INEOS aren’t responsible for all of that amount, having only this summer under their belt, and the squad not being good enough isn’t entirely down to the players Erik bought in - we have long standing squad issues.
Disgusting is what it is.
