Alex Ferguson left Man U a decade ago. Have there been periods in football where one of the top three richest sides in world football have been so shit for a decade? Shit by their own standards and the standards of their riches that is

IK Start from Norway were supposed to play their first qualifying game for promotion to the top division on saturday, but the board gambled on not heating the ground before the game (to save money), and they lost on walkover due to the frozen ground.[emoji38]

They blamed the weather forecast, but it seems like the weather turned out to be just as the forecast was telling us. Who knows what they were thinking, the CEO resigned after it was known that they lost on walkover.

Playing Evans - Maguire over him for "tactical reasons" didn't go down well with him.[emoji38]

 

Only seeing this now too. This one has been hard to take for fans as Varane is our best centre back by a mile and is really, really well liked.

How does his popularity with your fanbase compare with Martinez's?

Any noise as to why?

 

Only the same as what you see. We were utterly convinced he just wasn't fit. Dropping him for Evans is pure and utter madness.

Martinez is a character so has a lot of fans because of that. Gets stuck in, plays for the badge and is a good footballer. Varane is a Rolls Royce though. Head and shoulders above any other centre back for us. When Martinez was injured last season Varane still held the defence together. When Varane isn't there it's usually a shambles.

 

At the same time Evans has been above expectations (which were low to be fair). Varane struggled with fitness, so there could be something there that Ten Hag wasn't happy with. I just hate that whenever there's a decision made at the club that it's always leaked and blown up in the press. It's pretty embarassing at this point.
