"Who the hell cares about bloody football" Given that it’s the most popular sport in the world with billions watching every week and has huge sums of money involved, with global brands wanting to be associated with it, I’d say quite a few people care about football. | |||

"All those glory hunting teenage boys of the 90s now regretting their team of choice " I will never regret my choice to support United. I started supporting them just before the Premier League era but I was always accused of being a glory supporter... Uniteds history has shown how difficult it is to replace Managers like Busby and Ferguson so I expected a slump. What I didn't account for was the club chucking billions at buying players who did not suit the club or weren't good enough | |||

"The problems for MUFC are that 1) they think they have an entitlement to success and 2) they have an army of ex-players and ex-managers undermining the current manager." I think they are undermining the owners not the manager in this instance. | |||

"Who else is surpriced thattheir season is going from bad to worse? tTe 2 manchesters are opposite each other, city is leading and utd at last place, could there be a chance they can get relegated, is it down to the manager or that the players doesnt perform or is it a combination of them too " To be fair, after two games at the beginning of a long season, the current state of the league table is completely irrelevant. If the were to have a good win in their next two games they could easily be in the top five in a fortnight. I'm not a fan of football in the slightest, but the "hatred" of Man-United for 80% of football fans seems really disproportionate. Cal | |||

" Yes. I wonder if that is the reason of why ferguson stepped down as a manager as he could see the decline, so wanted to end his management during good times? United was its best with giggs and rooney " Ferguson had a pretty good idea of what the owners were up too. Remember he said "there is no value in the transfer market". I suspect now that this was code for the Glazers don't want to spend anymore. I also think that Ferguson's last team needed a massive overhaul due to the age of the players and that he just did not feel up to that. | |||

"Their whole structure is goings tits up ! Who, in their right mind would spend over £50 million on a centre back who's only 5'9" tall ? Are they fookin'bonkers!! Opposition simply has to keep putting high balls in to the box and at some point the centre forward is going to get a goal !!Mind you as a Leeds United fan I think it's awesome and long may it continue !! " I pointed this out on another thread and got told the old days of hoof ball were over . He got bodied at Brentford. He couldn’t compete and his pace was suspect. He needs to go out on the left or into midfield. But it’s fun to watch. | |||

"You could say the start of Uniteds problem was with a race horse called The Rock of Gibraltar. Also I believe after Ferguson left Moyse should’ve been given more time. Either way it’s only two games, by the end of the season they could be fighting for a Champions League place. The transfer window is still open and it’s only the start of the season. I don’t think they’ll be relegated but the next game is Liverpool so I predict more issues before resolutions. " I only learned about that recently. The fact United are in this shit show over a fucking horse! I don't know whether to laugh or cry | |||

"I have a love hate relationship with football, I love the sport but hate how it brings out the hate in people. " Same issue I have with the England Football Team. The fans and that bloody band always put me off supporting the National Team. It was great watching the woman’s team and fans a few weeks ago. Totally different atmosphere, you really thought you could go with a family and enjoy the game. | |||

You'd never get this level of vitriol in a thread for any other team " You always seem a little perplexed and get hot and bothered with football threads don’t you?

"It’s great to see. The entitlement of their supporters is fantastic viewing and reading. Keep up the good work Like Liverpool fans aren't just as entitled? How did that quadruple work out for your mentality monsters? We know what bad is and stuck together pal all the way through it. Not once did we call for any of the managers to lose their jobs during that time. The difference between Liverpool and the Manc clubs is we support our team through thick and thin and get behind the squad of players. As for your throw away quadruple quote, it shows how desperate you Mancs are trying to mock another team for not winning all four trophies available to them in a season when the last time you won anything was 2017. As I said this is excellent reading. Please, continue Stuck together? Is that what you call sending death threats to Karius after the Champions League final? Hounding out Roy Hodgson even though he was only an appointment by the old regime? Supporting Robbie Fowler making homophobic remarks to Graeme Le Saux?

" I agree totally but in MAN Uniteds case it seems worse, I did think it would improve with Pogba leaving but no chance, Ronaldo is class but he clearly doesn't want another season there so he will be casting a cloud over the place. For them to improve they have to clear the dressing room out. | |||

He should have sufficient respect just because he's been appointed by the Club. He's won things with Ajax which should also contribute. | |||

"Maybe it's just time they had a huge clear out (I mean I always perform best after one) , turn to the academy squad and start afresh. As long as they remember those wise words .... "you'll win nowt with kids"." ^^^This. We've had some United academy players come on loan - why can't they get a chance at actual Man U? As is demonstrated across the Premier League, buying all the so called best players and shoving them together, does not necessarily work. Build a good squad from basics and they might have a fighting chance. In two or three years. | |||

"Nah, it’s cause Man Utd fans are entitled. I refer back to my first post that you took exception to Ok, in what way have United fans been entitled here? If you’re seriously searching for the answer to this question then you’re part of the problem that exists with the Man Utd fan base. Again, so vague. Do you only deal in sweeping statements or do you give examples once in a while to show you actually know something about football? Buying a packet of panini stickers once in 2015 doesn’t make you the Fab footballing font of all knowledge. I’ll try and be a little less vague so you can digest what’s going wrong with your club. Spending a £1 billion on a squad of players. Paying massive salaries for ‘big name superstars. Buying the most expensive players to make ‘a statement of intent’. Hiring the ‘best managers in the world’ at the time. Securing the most lucrative sponsorship deal in Footballing history. Building the biggest stadium in English club football. All to ensure you compete at the highest level of footballing competition and WIN THINGS. When this doesn’t happen and cracks start to appear you see mass walk outs during games by the deluded who think this will benefit the team playing in-front of an empty stadium. You’ve never had it so good and you’ve squandered it all away. You talk about how Man Utd fans are not being entitled, you had it all and lost it and you’re now living off the scraps of your past success. Just because the above bought you success in past doesn’t mean it will guarantee success in the future. But all we hear about is Man Utd being a ‘massive’ club and ‘should’ be competing at the highest level. If you can’t see this is entitlement then you’re part of the crumbling fabric that’s trying desperately to hold Old Trafford together You've completely contradicted yourself here. You mention all the investment made in ensuring Man United remain one of the biggest clubs in the world and yet you call the fans entitled for expecting them to act like it? The walkouts are because fans know the team doesn't care about the fans or the manager, hence getting 3 of them sacked and not showing fight or pride for the club. And it all starts at the top. We had one of the best stadiums in the world that's now rusting and leaking, we could sign the best players and not that allure is diminishing. If the club has the resources and riches it has, why shouldn't fans expect to compete at the very top? That is not entitlement. No, your fans are walking out cause they’re fed up of being torn a new arsehole by teams like feel Brighton (insert any other team). Why are they fed up? It’s because YOU STILL THINK YOURE A BIG CLUB because of the things I’ve mentioned above. This is entitlement. As for your owners. It’s not your owners getting turned over week in and week out.

"In the mid to latter years of SAF’s reign he had a coaching staff that developed players. Woodward allowed that staff to be discarded by Moyes and replaced by nonentities. Since then, each incoming manager got to do the same. Is it any wonder that there isn’t a cohesive style in the squad? Is it any wonder that I can’t think of a player that has come to United in the past five years and improved? Is it any wonder that the club that produced the Class of ‘92 is stagnant? Individual players can be blamed for their attitude and performance, but the root cause is the failures of successive managers to address the coaching issues. " That's one of the issues. There are a litany of issues all as big as eachother and have been ignored due to fergies last few years dragging results out. | |||

"The worrying facts haven’t changed - other clubs are leaving them behind and there simply is not the same infrastructure as elite level clubs and facilities etc. Jose Mourinho was right when he said one of his biggest achievements was 2nd place and winning a trophy there." Almost as good as SAF winning the title in his final season. | |||

"What does everyone make of the Casemiro signing? Think it will help but still need another 2 decent players." Another 2 decent players?! Hmmm... Probably need another 8 decent players. But that aside. Not sure he is a fit for united or ten haags stated development strategy.not of the right temperament for the prem. That said... Hes an improvement on mcfred. They'd have been better off giving Jack Wilshire a call though. | |||

"I've just read that Newcastle United and West Ham United are interested in signing Scott McTominay " McT is another of the enigma players. Loads of potential and commitment and then just fizzled out over the last two seasons. Wan Bisaka, not a scrap of improvement. Bruno, a shadow of the player he was when he arrived. Rashford, wtf happened? Maguire. The player whose name we won’t mention due to the ongoing police investigations. Tony Marshall, maybe this is his year but he should have delivered far more over the past two seasons. The list goes on and on. | |||

"The issues at Manchester United run deeper than 11 blokes running around the pitch. The owners are business people. When SAF retired the onus should of been to replace him with the next best manager, Pep. They didn’t do that and this is the result. Yes there has been bad performances but when you’ve had 4 different coaches in 5 years, all with different ideas, all with different styles, of course you will be slightly confused about how to do your job. The club needs a takeover, massive investment and it needs to find itself again. Manchester United hold the record for the most consecutive appearances but an academy player in the first team, and that is something to be proud of, they promote youth, does that hinder us, sometimes yes. But it’s our footballing philosophy " The academy doesn't seem to produce the type of players it used to. It's as if it'd have lost their identity of fast intense okay SAF created for the club. Imo pep would have been a bad choice. You'd be trying to create a very different style. A club should be bigger than the manager and you should get a manger to suit the club. | |||

But as a player he feels like another slower player who won't create energy. Perhaps it's to add cover in front of McGuire. Aka Kante. | |||
