Rooney, Lampard and Ferguson favourites for the job full time. Martinez next closest at 10/1 (I.e no chance surely). No money to spend, big relegation battle ahead (if we are to beat them). I think we’ll drag them into it. Has Ferguson got any real managerial experience? It might be a bit like Shearer with us. A big name but didn’t have the player’s buy in to turn it around.

She’s right. We don’t know how to sing a song. It’s a 100mpj. I honestly think it’s because people don’t know the lyrics. It’s the same with Who’s that Team we call United. Isn’t it funny how the only line you can never hear is ‘And they play in black and white’ (as it’s all mumbled and sped up). Because people don’t know the words man!

Get him in as coach like Keegan did with Cox.

Bruce had 20 years of management to compare to (as he kept telling us). Howe’s 10 years in the game give me much more faith than Bruce.

This is arguably our worst ever Premier League squad. Worse than 2009 and 2016. We’ve improved the squad with two players this window (more than we ever have when previously relegated) and it’s still not enough. It took Keegan ten games to reverse what Allardyce had done and that was with superior players to what we have now. This isn’t football manager. It’s real life. The squad is dreadful, we all know how many of them played with us FIVE years ago in the Championship, and yet they’re still playing. There’s also the added bonus of turkeys not voting for Christmas. I’m sure there will be some players who are acutely aware that if we stay up - they’ll be shipped out. He’s got a huge job on his hands and I’m not sure who else we would have got in that would be doing any better. Howe wouldn’t have been top of the list and the fact it took weeks to confirm him shows that. Yes we’ve thrown away leads - but how much is that down to the manager? Perhaps Watford at home? If we stay up it’s a bloody miracle and the fact we’re only a few points off 17th and 10 days left in the window to get a couple more bodies in (I’m sure we’d have been happy with four at the start of the window, and I’m sure we’ll get them) shows we’re not dead and buried yet. If we go down, I’ve every faith he’ll get us back up. I remember saying I’d happily get rid of Ashley if it meant going down to L1. So a season in the Championship is a bonus as far as I’m concerned.

Something stupid like 30 or 40 clubs.

Nobs man. What you going to do with it at home like?

How many tickets you got? ?

I and others on here, may remember being told Hughton was going to be sacked a few days after we beat Sunderland 5-1. We couldn’t believe it. I think we beat Arsenal away not long after. It was obvious they were waiting for a poor run of form to get rid of him. I’m convinced Pardew owed him a debt.

I must admit to being shocked by only having 2 days to register a vote. I’ve not read all the detail and I wasn’t aware the vote had to be held at an AGM. Having been heavily involved in a voluntary role for a ‘Private company limited by guarantee without share capital’ I’d be incandescent if the Board didn’t do things by the book. Indeed, I’d be calling for a vote of no confidence in the board as it would go against the Articles of Association. If the money goes to charity, then that’s great. But you have to do things properly! And if that means calling an EGM or waiting until the AGM, then so be it. I can’t really get my head around not doing things properly, especially if they ever want to be taken seriously by the new owners. Sort it out please lads. Thank you.

Are you yolking or being serious? (Scrambled)

Nowt wrong with RGS or rugby

He can barely speak properly. Bless him. Clearly not a full shilling

That’s a ridiculous set of demands. If it was on purpose, to keep him, then well done to them in all honesty. If it’s their idea of them trying to squeeze more out of us to get him to sign in January? It’s dreadful negotiating. As we’ll now just walk away.

It’s funny like. The mood in the camp after the game wasn’t as apocalyptic as some are in here. We go again this week. We’ve got this. HTL

Just have to hope this is a massive kick up the arse. If we beat Watford all will be forgotten no doubt.

Oh have they? Shows how little football I’ve watched over the last few years because of Ashley

Yes

HBA was leagues ahead of this lad

Hopefully this means we never have to hear about Ronnie Radford ever again.

I thought it was a pen and a red personally

He keeps us up and he’s done his first job. The first few months of KK’s first spell were pretty bad as well. The following season was when we kicked on

Must say I was disappointed that he didn’t start or bring on Anderson and the other kids. I’m sure they’d have put up a better fight

Willock. Shit
