People can say what they want on a football forum but its just not true to suggest we have a toxic fan base. Fans don't like what they see, the decline has been that rapid.
I don't like Pogba for what he stands for in football, the likes of he and Neymar are poison in my opinion, to say he influenced the Mourinho situation would be an understatement. I'd say he's currently unmanageable, if he's unhappy he downs tools and uses the power of social media and his agent to distablise a club. He's treated United with complete disgrace.
I don't like him, id happily see the back of him today and I stand by that. If you want to call me toxic you can but the truth is I'm just a fan with concerns for the club I've supported since my dad introduced me to the club.
Agree wholeheartedly.
I see people saying that football has changed, that you don't get the Scholes / Neville types these days who are happy to put their club first and show loyalty and respect. But I don't think that's true.
Perhaps there are less of these types about these days but they're there for sure, we just need to be better as a club in identifying the right mentalities. That's what this rebuild is for me above all else - rebuilding a strong, committed and healthy mentality at the club.
If that means getting shot of Pogba, Martial, Lukaku, or anybody who doesn't get with the program then so be it.
For what it's worth I don't hate him at all, he's a symptom of the times we live in is all. These guys get deified far too young, and I think the toxic levels of self-entitlement are a real danger from then on in.
Ferdinand spoke about his experiences as a young player on a podcast I heard the other day where he outlined the differences between them and now, as cliche as it sounds I do think it has a real bearing on players' development as an individual.
Anyway, yeah, get rid. €150m+ seems fair, be very careful with any player exchanges. If Bale comes up in conversation - air horn down the phone until they stop it.
Also, please never touch a Raiola client again, for the love of God its just not worth the drama.
