Think Mourinho won the league in his first season back with Chelsea but it didn't have that same charm as the first time around. It then went to complete shit after that. On the whole, I think returning to a previous job is always a bad idea. Edited May 27, 2021 by Robster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Are we going to start seeing more of a cycle where 2/3 of the promoted clubs are replaced by 2/3 of the relegated sides every season now? Think both have made sound appointments that’ll see them back up first time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think both have made sound appointments that’ll see them back up first time. I think Fulham could do quite well again next season too. So maybe 3/3 returns. Unlikely I would think though, there's normally at least one/two surprises (either one flop and one team coming from nowhere/previous mid table). Should be interesting league again though.

Scotty66 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I know he has a PL 2nd place and a europa league final but it feels like the wheels are just waiting to come off so badly for OGS. Admittedly I never watch Man Utd play unless it's against us but he seems to be so reliant on match winning players saving his arse...

toon25 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 They'll always be 'there or thereabouts' with the resources at their disposal, but I can't see them ever striving for anything beyond a second rate pastiche of the Fergie years under Solskjaer. A decent owner/CEO would boot him and throw the chequebook at Zidane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Constantly falling behind and miraculously coming back to win it is absolutely not sustainable either. They've winged it this year but they need a better manager to actually set the team up to go ahead and control the game rather than fall behind and frantically scramble it back in the second half. It can't continue to happen indefinitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 No way can they overtake Man City, Chelsea or Liverpool anytime soon. These 3 will just get stronger and stronger with the managers and players at their disposal. Ole has performed better than expected but doubt they can get in ahead of those 3. Both Liverpool and Chelsea had distractions this season allowing Man Utd to gain a slight advantage but expect normal service to resume next season. Even if they get Kane, think it won't be enough.
