    Why do you post such shite?

    Much better than The dross served up against Liverpool, City and Watford. Shame we couldn't hold out for the win. Still, not a "United" performance; we should never expect to be under the cosh like that.

    Premier League 2021/22: Chelsea Vs Man Utd ~ Sun 28th 4.30pm KO

    So you want to go to the home of the in- form team and deserved league leaders with two inexperienced academy lads whilst dropping our two most effective performers?

    Or Donny/McT. I think Pogba's off. McT will be much better when not being a DM.

    De Gea's still world class. AWB and Maguire are both good enough. Both need better coaching. CMs. I'll give you that one.

    King Ralf The Interim Manager

    With Fletcher and Murtugh being relatively new in their posts, to have someone as knowledgeable as Ralph come in to advise should be invaluable. Like JSP intimated, Conte would bring immediate improvement, given the quality of our squad. However, that may be worth sacrificing for longer term...

    Premier League 2021/22: Chelsea Vs Man Utd ~ Sun 28th 4.30pm KO

    I'd be tempted to start Rashford on the left. Use the pace of Rashford and Sancho and the ball over the top to make the Chelsea fullbacks weary of pressing too high.

    Best get started then. Rangdick out!

    If not Solskjaer, then who?

    Interesting. The two year consultancy could be more useful than his stint as manager, though he needs to do a pretty great job at that if we're to finish top four. Would be great though if he could once and for all put in place a proper management structure.

    Champions League 2021/22

    Ajax have a 100% record in a group that contains Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon. They're capable of beating the top boys. However, we're still in it, so there's only going to be one winner.....

    If not Solskjaer, then who?

    His reputation was mainly built by building the foundations for all the Red Bull football stable, not just in terms of sporting achievement, but in corporate structures as well. The guy is probably one of the best footballing business brains out there.

    Anthony Martial | Match Discussion Thread 2021/22

    Not at all. When he joined us, he was such an exciting prospect. Such a let down.
  13. O-Dog

    If not Solskjaer, then who?

    It could be the case that United know who they want and can get them at the end of the season, hence the interim approach. Maybe it's Poch, maybe Ten Hag. Both would be positive appointments. Ten Hag would be the more left field given his lack of coaching outside of Ajax. Plus he's supported in...

    Has it been stated that he'll only get the job if he resigns? If not, your point is moot.

    If not Solskjaer, then who?

    He'd be stupid, especially being a family man, to leave his job without an almost certainty of another to take its place We don't know what's being said or to whom. We are assuming that United are interested. Big assumption. Don't let your anti-Pochness get in the way.

    It's not unfeasible that Poch will move now and PSG will bring in ZZ. Top move.

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/nov/11/aston-villa-confirm-steven-gerrard-as-new-manager-as-he-leaves-rangers Big risk for both parties. I think Gerrard will need to be on the top of his game just to match Dean Smith.

    I recall you being equally hostile toward Poch. Me thinks its a Spurs thing; you really hate Spurs so whomever manages them must be a cnut.

    If not Solskjaer, then who?

    I think he's a very good manager who would be a big step up from Ole. Not convinced he'd get us to the very top. Mixed feelings, I guess.

    If not Solskjaer, then who?

    Quite a few outlets running the story. Rogers verbally agreed and wants to come at end of season, United want him now. Who knows, could all be nonsense.

    How long do we give Solskjaer?

    Sorry, I didn't understand your first point. Are you referring to Murtough and Fletcher? I'm not sure we're organised enough currently to have a distinct style. What I'd hope is that it's being worked on in the background so we don't have to rely solely on the next coach to work things out.

    How long do we give Solskjaer?

    To build continuity, essentially. Clubs like Barca, Bayern, Dortmund, Ajax and City to a lesser extent, have had protracted periods of relative success and a distinct style of play even though they've worked through squads and managers. The DoF should help foster a vision of play and the...

    Rangnick would've made a great Director of Football (unfortunately he wasn't at Ed's uni), but his record shows he's not an elite manager.

    Depressing. Not the scoreline so much, but the dog's dinner of a performance. If Ole still thinks "we're close" he's seriously deluded.

    Cricket 2021

    Always got the feeling YCCC associated itself more with the Yorkshire golden triangle (the wealthy, pastoral area between north Leeds, York and Harrogate) than glance back over its shoulder towards Bradford.

    Coronavirus

    That may well be true, but also consider many homes are still occupied during the working day so still heated. Also, many offices are continually air conditioned, which I suspect is energy intensive. Especially in the warmer months.

    Likewise, having more people work from home would help build local businesses and communities. Plus, surely a policy to eradicate unnecessary commuting has great green credentials.

    How long do we give Solskjaer?

    Why more time? If Ole was going to show any tactical acumen, it would've happened by now. Doesn't matter who comes and goes if the coaching team struggle with the basics.

    Paul Pogba | Match Discussion thread 2021/22

    It's a shame because on his day he's truly world class. Those days, at least under this regime, are few and far between and as JSP intimated, when he's not on it, he's a liability. I don't think you build a team around Pogba; you drop him into an already well functioning team to take it up that...

    Champions League 2021/22: Atalanta vs Man Utd ~ Tue 2nd Nov 8pm KO

    Pogba starts alongside Bruno and McT. Three CBs again. Rashford and Ronaldo up top. McT needs a big game.

    Champions League 2021/22: Atalanta vs Man Utd ~ Tue 2nd Nov 8pm KO

    No. It's hard to be confident with this team as their form varies so much. At least Pogba should be fresh. Let's hope he's interested.
