That aged well. Mount signed on 8th July five days after we signed Dom Szoboszlai, Mac Allister had signed a month earlier.
Ratboy is almost bipolar in his appraisals of Man U
Anthony’s attacking stats are off the scale according to some …. Allegedly
nice that they have 3 players around 30 expecting to start in their midfield, keeps the churn and outlay going
the way ten gag has spent without the team improving is a thing of beauty
Sancho wasn’t his purchase to be fair.
Gah that was Ole wasnt it. Little statue for him too.
It’s almost as if everyone who’s managed Man Utd since Ferguson fucked off actually hates the club and has made it their mission to fuck them up.
It’s like taking them over in Football Manager, selling all their best players for peanuts, buying the biggest heap of vastly overpriced shite you can find and then watching the carnage.
Well Ten Hag, you legend.

Won’t get overexcited yet but it’s been beautiful to watch 😀
Is Rafa available to take over when ten Hag gets the sack?
I mean Chelsea, Everton, ....he's gonna want to add to his collection.
One thing which their ongoing struggles demonstrate in glorious Technicolor is the importance of doing your due diligence on the kind of individuals, off the field as well as on, whom you're trying to sign. Ten Hag is struggling to get them going this season, but IMO that has as much to do with the fact that (partly though not totally through his own fault) they've signed a barrelload of wasters as it does with his own shortcomings.

Agent Benitez would be outstanding.
As if said before, there’s loads on Redcafe that think Ole should get another go. That’d be awesome,
Most often mentioned are Ancelotti, Zinadine Zidane and the Brighton guy
Yeah, it's their personal fault that they've backed successive managers with big transfer kitties and netted:
1. Paul Pogba - £94.5m (from Juventus, 2016)
2. Antony - £86m (from Ajax, 2022)
3. Harry Maguire - £80m (from Leicester City, 2019)
4. Jadon Sancho - £76.5m (from Borussia Dortmund, 2021)
5. Romelu Lukaku - £76.2m (from Everton, 2017)
6. Angel Di Maria - £67.5m (from Real Madrid, 2014)
7. Rasmus Hojlund - £64m (from Atalanta, 2023)
8. Mason Mount - £60m (from Chelsea, 2023)
9. Casemiro - £60m (from Real Madrid, 2022)
10. Bruno Fernandes - £56.7m (Sporting Lisbon, 2020)
If you believe the inter web they are on the hook to pay Sancho £13m/year and Antony i£10m/year for the next 4 years, Casemiro £18m/year for the next 3 years. Mount is allegedly getting £13m/year for 5 years
Edit - Jesus! Onana is getting £6m/year (again for 5 years). They'll never shift them!!!

They definitely share a large part of the blame - but they’re not really doing anything differently than when they had Ferguson still winning things.
Point being - replacing them doesn’t fix the problem. They need an entire change to their footballing operation, their coaching staff and their playing staff. In fact changing ownership is probably the least necessary - with the caveat being that the owners must be willing to make the changes in ALL other areas - simply changing managers and buying more shite players while retaining the old shite won’t work.
