just fucking relegate us already so we can be done with the glazers and ineos
You couldn't get relegated this season if you were trying to unfortunately.
As terrible as United have been, they're still 10 points above the drop zone.
what makes you think were going to get any more points this season? we are legitimately dogshit. not an issue of luck or form, we just suck
the incredible thing is it isnt unlikely that ratcliffe would be stupid enough to sack amorim before the season ends. the club is a fucking shambles
An almost inexplicable one.
Rashford has looked decent so far at Villa, Antony has something like 3 man of the match awards from 3 at Betis so far.
We’re almost at the stage where it’s not a quirky observation, players are just better before, or after United. It’s almost becoming a law of nature.
The only player in that squad anyone at the top level might consider is Bruno Fernandes. Who for some reason gets a lot of shit. His mannerisms might annoy people but he’s a quality player and works his arse off. Martinez maybe I suppose.
Assume a blank check book, go down the league and consider if money was no object, how many elite European sides would want their players. It’s not pretty.
Liverpool, Arsenal I mean obviously there’s plenty. Man City I mean come on. Chelsea they’re having issues but there’s plenty of pickups there. Newcastle have Guimares/Tonali/Isak, maybe add Gordon into the mix.
Keep going down. Even Spurs have Kulu who’s been incredible this season, and maybe going a bit unheralded because Spurs have been so abject. Van de Ven is top notch and his sheer pace lets you play unbelievably high up the pitch. Vicario is a quality keeper.
Who do United have? If I was playing a Football Manager season and looking to enhance say, my Inter side? Consistently winning in Italy, and looking to convert that to European winnings, pushing that recent final appearance to a trophy.
United
maybe have two players tops I’d buy in that scenario. Basically all of the Premier League participants have at least one such player, and United’s ostensible competitors have 4-5 plus.
It’s such an unbelievable mess, they’re not a high quality squad underperforming anymore, the squad isn’t even that good!
Ratcliffe is for my money worse than the Glazers. They don’t pretend. They also don’t sack the tea ladies to save a fraction of the money wasted on keeping Ten Haag then sacking him, or employing Dan Ashworth and sacking him almost as soon as he was available to work.
His sporting record isn’t good either, even if he wasn’t a massive cunt. Which he is
