Holmesy Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Constantly trying to reignite the glory years using short terms fixes, shit decisions, heart over head appointments and poor recruitment. With Rangnick and Ten Haag they'll have a team capable of developing and delivering a 5-10 year plan designed to take them back to the top - scouting and developing quality youth players and coaching a cohesive style from youth teams up, Ajax/Barcelon/Man City-style. If the plan was clearly communicated to the fans you'd hope they'd buy in and temper their immediate expectations. If they bring in Ten Haag expecting immediate success and challenging for the top 4 i think they'll be disappointed. There's a lot of rot to remove before that can happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaser's aren't really arsed if they win the league as long as they can make money out of it. This. Sod them...go 5 years without a trophy and they're 'long suffering'. Give them 14 years of Ashley and they'll know real suffering Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of rot to remove before that can happen That’s true, but Man Utd will always have to balance that with winning trophies or at least seriously challenging every year to appease fans, shareholders and the stock market and of course their sponsors. They need that 5 + year plan, but unlike Liverpool when they get Klopp or City when they were first taken over and now ourselves, those clubs were already in dire need of such direction to get them to the top. A place where Man Utd sat. Do Man Utd have the time to now play catch up? With ourselves now the competition for top players, major sponsors and challenging for trophies is only going to extend their problems right now and increase the pressure. They really are in a hard place at the moment on and off the pitch. For a club of their size and stature, it’s staggering just how badly they have gotten it all wrong since Fergie left. You have to wonder how much of a negative presence he still is on the whole club, maybe even through no direct fault of his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF to Man U they do seem to be 100% focused on building the club up from the foundations again, it looks like the years of ticking over and short term fixes of hired guns with good records are over. By the sounds of it there is a lot of rot to cut out first though and it will take a few seasons to sort it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Potters fine tbh. They've sold 2 of their best CBs this season and I think that has destabilised them at the back. Would help him if they signed a striker, as maupay is awful. Edited April 2, 2022 by neesy111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Aye. Maupay always seems to start the season where you think if he keeps it up, they’ve cracked it. Then the usual happens. Get a goalscorer and they’re a top 10 team but can they attract the sort of player who’d be that striker for what they can spend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Brighton have had something like over 100 efforts at goal since they last scored and then even that was a set piece scored by a CB. They've been comically bad in front of goal most of the time since they got promoted to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
