Forget the money spent. It’s misleading. Compare the players they have bought to our motley crew.
Hopefully INEOS hold true to their stated desire to ‘never be the dumb money’ and we get smarter in the market.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are joined by special guest Anders (@Lyng) to celebrate the news that ETH is staying put! They also talk about the Euros so far, with special attention on England, Scotland and Denmark. They then finish with some transfer talk and the potential comings and outgoings at Old Trafford.
Hopefully INEOS hold true to their stated desire to ‘never be the dumb money’ and we get smarter in the market.
What the hell are you talking about? They themselves sacked Emery after barely a season.
They did much better in the league, so they were.
And now Emery is one of the preferred candidates for our next manager and hailed as a tactical genius because he got Villa into 4th, despite failing at the top clubs he’s been at so go figure.
I hope you are joking about the blind faith. If anything they pulled the trigger early and decisively when they realized the project wasn't going anywhere. Emery's decent, and did well at Sevilla, but not sure about genius. What I am sure is that he wouldn't have gotten Arsenal to where they are now. Title challenge down to the wire trophy.
If Southgate gets the job then United fans will burn down Ashworth's fecking garden!
If he so much as mentioned Southgate in a meeting, just a thought it should be enough for us to move on from him and appoint Dougie Freedman ASAP. Not only will he be certifiably insane but, as Woodward has shown, there is nothing worse than an incompetent buffoon with nepotistic tendencies.
Each to their own, I guess.
You know our manager has actually won actual physical tangible silverware, right?
And we are even further away from the title than Rangnick and his video coach in Moscow
So, are we still reviewing?
We re doing a review of the review to make sure the review was reviewed for a proper review.
This
Loads has changed , you're right . None of the changes have made it easier to build a team quickly . You used to be able to able to buy and sell players whenever you wanted , not twice a year .
Either that or he’s growing something very potent back there.
We’re currently preparing a review.
I can't believe people are foaming at the mouth because of a report from Steve Bates.
He's got a football structure tree.
The Glazers wouldn't have been daft enough to hire Southgate. Ashworth is already looking like a bad appointment.
Has he even been appointed?
Are you getting annoyed about press speculation and fantasy scenarios?
This place, honestly.
Big day tomorrow
No. Its still 24 hrs long
Wig day tomorrow. Ten Hag is getting a toupee.
How girthy is it though?
Hi erik do u want picking up in the morning pal
The way these aggregator accounts just take little snippets from crap sources to create a Twitter headline and so many people take is as gospel, is scary.
Congrats Gareth
The story that won’t go away
Can't we just skip all this and go straight to calling SAF the most overrated and luckiest manager of all time?
We’re reviewing the preparation of the review.
I think people need to consider when it comes to Southgate that he's got PR coming out of his arse. Loads of friends in the media, Mr Nice guy, worked as a pundit for years because nobody would hire him. Just look at the Mirror defending him over his shocking squad choices today. I imagine the chances are that these goons are trying to will it into existence.
Do you think “time” is the magic recipe to turn any random manager into “Ferguson”?
Arsenal blasted Emery even though he's clearly a top quality manager.
Liverpool blasted Rodgers after he almost won them a league title.
Profit. Well. Still not in Arsenals case.
No no no we have to monitor the review first before we get anywhere near preparing!
How did you get to that ? I'm curious .
Do you realize he's written books and spoken publicly about his early years here .
It's not something he's ashamed of . He doesn't need you taking offense on his behalf . So you can have a night off
That Pool game went back and forth, it is not the same. Coventry was out of sight with twenty minutes to go and we didn’t show any composure or grit to see out the game.
Obvioysly you have referred to Xavi and De Zerbi, but is there anyone else's name you want to throw in
Not off the top of my head but it would make sense being bereft of ideas if data and statistics is being used to determine choices, I feel the media are using presupposed ideas in their columns.
If INEOS are indeed using the framework of building a project that disseminates from the hierarchy down to the head coach, it's increasingly likely a new appointment could be a less popularized choice.
If the hiring of Berrada, Wilcox and Toby Craig for instance is anything to go by it's reminiscent of dealings fans and journo's had no traction with.
What I'm stating is speculative but it wouldn't be a surprising outcome.
Again, almost word-for-word I agree with this poster. My sentiments are almost identical, with the only slight difference being that I had little hope regarding INEOS. Till Glazers are there we'll never have that coherence of a football club where everything is related to football from highest to lowest ranks within the club. Ownership and stockholders are totally ideologically and even practically detached from core of institution of Manchester United. Only real interest is profit and profit does not necessarily have to be related to success. Look, even investments are calculated and guided by model of cost-effectivness but cost-effectivnes that is not related to football whatsoever. In this business venture and structure, football is a scondary concern and thats the problem. These talks about managers and their influence are kind of funny, not that they are not important, but still, come on, there will always be one and much bigger problem.
