Spring Moderator November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 Arsenal couldn't get the win which would have gotten them top spot but nevertheless they together with City and Leicester qualified for the k/o stages of the UCL, well done This season's UCL not necessary getting top spot is better as Bayern will finish 2nd and likely Real as well so only Barca the team to fear amongst the likely group winners. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooblack Supercharged November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 Jose Mourinho has confirmed Manchester United will take up the option to extend Zlatan Ibrahimovic's contract for another season. I can imagine how Rashford is feeling now no surprises... i can hardly think of a star player which Mourinho grooms from a young player... no wonder that Rashford looks like running out of steam lately.. including the likes of Martial etc. Mourinho always favours quick fixes, usually through expensive buys, rather than build for the long term. any wonder why he dun seems to hold on to a job for > 5 years?

Never more than 3 years actually. You add up his 2 stints at Chelsea, then can get 5 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ins1dious Turbocharged November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 it seem every manager that take over man u , must spend over 200m and it seem to every manager that take over, man u , the team is broken until jia lat jia lat no few years and few hundred M. cannot fix and it seem. the board is very willing to give any manager that take over at least 200m to spend. This is only a problem for small clubs. ManU can't be bothered about such small change 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osprey23 Turbocharged November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 Greatest upset in the history of UCL? Team Squad value: Rostov - £37m Bayern - £495m FT: Rostov 3-2 Bayern. Rostov have claimed their first EVER Champions League victory! What an opponent to claim that as well.

Spring Moderator November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 JM's employers also birds of same feather who like quickie fix. And then part company with each other when the medicine stop working. Fair is fair. To be fair to Man U board, they have a track record of giving Mgr time ie Fergie. Moyes was out of his depth n LvG divided opinions n perhaps losing his touch. United were out of UCL n nowhere near their usual standards n hence they had to act n JM based on past records almost guarantees success hence the appointment. The only fault I would find with United Board is 1) why appoint Moyes in the first place n 2) they should know what they getting when appointing JM and have to take him as a package ie his track record plus his penchant for controversy. Aren't they better than Roman at Chelsea who can sack Ancelotti for finishing second after winning the title in his first season, that takes the cake! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they all qualify. Maybe maybe, Man Utd can qualify for UCL if they win europa, like what LFC tried to do last season. Better option than no option, given that this season top 4 may be out of MU's grasp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic November 25, 2016 Share November 25, 2016 Former Manchester United manager David Moyes feels Jose Mourinho's struggles at Old Trafford prove that his time in charge of United was not as bad as many have made it out to be. Mourinho can't match Moyes so far at UnitedJose Mourinho has endured a mixed start to life at Manchester United and his record after 10 Premier League games finds him worse off than David Moyes over the same period. David says he is better than Jose and the stats prove him right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board that SAF served under is not the same as what they have now. The entire operating model has changed over the years. SAF worked under this current board and he basically can't be moved because of his achievement. Why they appoint Moyes? SAF recommended if I am not wrong, hence the Chosen One. With their most decorated and successful manager stepping down and recommended his successor, can the board say No? They know what they are getting from JM. It was fiercely debated in the boardroom. I am pretty sure that it wasn't a unanimous decision. The pro JM camp willing to take the risks on him in return of glories.

Wyfitms Twincharged November 25, 2016 Share November 25, 2016 i've said it n i will say it agn....whats the point of calling a manager a good manager when all he needs is a group of superstars?? is he incapable of nurturing his own stars? is all that he knows is putting this group of superstars n let them "do their thing"? n before any man u fans start saying that ppl of other clubs are sour that they can afford these stars...let me just point them out to their real great manager, fergie. look at how many stars he nurtured.I support Man U to continue buying more super stars ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
