I expect them to work on Sunday. It happens in the movies, making good people work on Christmas Eve for the big corporates. It's their duty.

Sympathy for Mr Ten Hag and Murtough looking very bad. Find it odd that he's become a target all of sudden. Not that it doesn't please me but it does look coordinated.

It is coordinated and it worries me because it sounds a lot like the hit pieces against Woodward, LVG, Mourinho, Moyes or Ole. So who is coordinating it, is it high ranking employees that have been at the club for that long and are the actual feckwit that ruins everything or maybe it's the Glazers?

Scapegoating Murtough and hoping to save their jobs?

If it's employees I guess that it would the goal, if it's the Glazers then it's to deflect criticism away from them.

Raw chicken? Definitely not getting value for your buck buck

Might not seem like much but this is a huge issue, I was a chef at Old Trafford for 12 years, i walked out a couple of seasons ago as did many others, we could see this coming, It's not just an incident like a restaurant sending out one undercooked meal, because of the numbers involved stadiums are held to a much higher level of accountability with food hygiene, and there's a reason it's United and not another big club, they have prioritised saving money since Fergie left by cutting corners and replacing people that knew how to manage a department with arrogant money men.

Throughout the last 10 years we have seen the same consistent issues regardless of managers. That’s not a manager thing.

I’m not saying he couldn’t be doing better, I’m just not sure what that means or what it looks like. I also don’t know how much other factors are affecting the team , so while I say I believe they are causing issues, I don’t know to what extent. So I’m not sure what is a reasonable expectation for ETH.

The hiring of a mixed bag of managers is another result of our lack of a competent management structure but we have hired a mixture of managers who were never good enough and those who were clearly past their best.

In terms of ten hag, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect him to understand the league well enough to know mount alongside bruno as advanced 8's won't work, or to have learned from our failings much more quickly this season or have a clear plan for the teak that is visible on the pitch
 
It’s happening tonight the INEOS heads are gathered around a giant oak wood desk the lines are racked up and every hour a nervous intern comes into the room to provide an update.

Ratcliffe at the head of the table with a cigar in his mouth lets a little smirk spread across his face showing his one gold molar.

on the giant screens a Twitter feed on one , the NYSE MUFC stock prices on another, red cage being monitored by the older but grizzled associate in the room.

The last update goes by, Radcliffe’s smile turns downward…”we stay till it’s done” one of the younger associates nervously pipes up “b-but sir my wife has this thi..” he’s cut off sir Jim has a steely look in his eyes and darts a look over to the shotgun ornament on his side table and mutters “till it’s done”.

the room falls silent as the snow begins to fall outside of the canary ward towers.

So Sir Jim runs a bird hospital from a red cage in his boardroom?! Good knowledge.

Happy November!

You just know that the Glazers are delusional, vain cnuts who think they've done an amazing job running the club. Mourinho and Rangnick threatened to shatter that fantasy and were promptly booted out. They'll be gritting their teeth together watching Ratcliffe overhaul everything I imagine as they probably think everything is fine as it is.

We’ve already seen the reports that they were mad about the potential buyer statements last year saying that they wanted to bring United back to where they belong.
 
Nope not today or tomorrow according to United Stand so next year looks like

If it's Glazers then surely it's they're the culpable ones for actually hiring Murtough and co? There's no way this deflects any criticism away from them.
 
Utterly shocked that this isn't going to be done before christmas, so out of character for the Glazers.
 
If the sale will be on December 31 on the boss's birthday I'll be so happy and it will definitely symbols a closer for all of us.

Enter Sheikh Jassim on a white horse in full-body armour. He swiftly incapacitates all of Ratcliffe's associates in the room, leaving just Jimbo and himself standing.

"It's treason, then," Jimbo mutters, rising from the head of the table and unsheathing an antique French sabre, gifted to him by an associate in Monaco.

Just as they were about to do battle, Joel and Avram Glazer emerge from the shadowy background behind them. A wily grin spread across Jimbo's face as the Glazers surrounded the Sheikh. "It was me all along, Jassy boy. You never had a chance"

Jassim, terrified, makes daring escape out the window. Feeling defeated, he consults with his top confidantes: his twelve most loyal supporters on Twitter, with 100 followers between them.

"Tune everything out. We will be vindicated soon."

Jassim, feeling rejuvenated, swapped his armour for his trusty Man Utd shirt, the very same that led him to the Golden Boot in five-a-side. He mounted his horse and went to do battle with Jimbo and the Glazers again, without any armour.

He’s not had many options. I mean look at his subs in most games this season, he’s having to patchwork a team together most weeks and make changes to the starting team every game.

Most teams don’t have to do that. I feel like some of you judge him with absolutely zero capacity to factor in actual issues that limit what he can do.

I’ve said it all along that mistake he’s making are causing us more issues because there simply isn’t any room for mistakes. Other managers have more wiggle room and more options so they can recover, we just haven’t had that this season.
