Cometh the hour..

We need different players, a different manager, different coaches/coaching, a different structure, a different CEO and different owners.

The stadium could to with a new lick of paint too. Groundsmen seem to be doing okay though.

 

[tommers]

Time for the silver fox.

Poch still favourite with the bookies, I see.

Ole only third on the list for most likely to leave

If you were Pochettino would you take the Utd job?

Madrid?

Not bad odds

Perhaps a passing mod might remove the final three words from the thread title to make it more accurate

 

[Badgers]

The last time Man Utd had a midfield as poor as their current one, Margaret Thatcher was PM, Black Box were at the top of the charts with 'Ride on Time', Bryan Robson was injured and Sir Alex Ferguson was under increasing pressure as manager.

When was this?

1988

Robson and Strachan played a lot, as did Ralph Milne (no idea). Young Lee Sharpe was there, crocked Norman Whiteside, plus Jesper Olsen

Since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed permanently on March 28th, Manchester United have won just 17 points in 16 Premier League matches (W4 D5 L7), the fourth-worst tally among the 17 ever-present teams in that time.

Its not just the manager although he is a very bad appointment in that his tactical acumen is so limited. The youth arent good enough, the old heads arent pulling their weight and the recruitment under Woodward is too hit and miss. They did right in clearing out the dissidents but the club meeds an overall restructure if it wants to achieve anything on the pitch and thats going to take a few years.

Ralph Milne was a great player. Sadly, by the time he got to United, he'd lost his way.

 

[Badgers]

Solskjaer's win ratio now is 47.5% - the worst of any United manager since Dave Sexton, who was in charge from 1977-81

It shouldn’t be forgot Solskjear was appointed after a run of wins against teams exclusively from the bottom half of the table (except for a lucky 1-0 over Tottenham IIRC). It was such a bullshit appointment for that reason alone, a real indictment of the way Man Utd are run.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

No, not at all. I’m enjoying the schadenfreude.

 

[steveo87]

I genuinely can't believe they've not sacked him yet.
I had every belief he'd be gone by yesterday afternoon.

But then again I guess you could say the same about Pochetino (sp.) at Spurs.

 

[The39thStep]

I see no reason to sack the Spurs manager tbh they’ve got problems at full back and possibly centre half but they can be resolved.

 

[Badgers]

The last Premier League game that Manchester United won away was a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on 27 February.

Bury beat Stevenage in League Two on 9 March.

Chevrolet pulling out as a sponsor (£450m or approx £50-60m per season) due to poor form.

 

[Badgers]

Manchester United are prepared to pay £130m Leicester City's English midfielder James Maddison and defender Ben Chilwell, both 22.

May be a more frantic January transfer window than usual. Man Utd and Spurs seem likely to be selling and buying a lot (or planning to) and Chelsea may get a reprieve too? City and Arsenal possibly looking for a defender or two

Read that Pogba is almost certainly out for the Liverpool game and likely out till end of the month.

Would it make any difference?
