Like others I think letting Cooper go is a daft decision, but Nuno did well at Wolves. His time at Tottenham was admittedly a car crash but there's more to Nuno than that.
It's nonsensical it really is, especially when it's the same guy responsible for bringing in the 4 before him. People like this don't really belong in football but they are. The Watford owner is another one.
I thought he took the Riyal in Saudi?
[edit] Bloody hell, he did and got sacked! Add that to Spurs and why the fuck would you hire him when YOU KNOW the fans are going to be pissed you sacked their guy
He was at Al-Ittihad but got canned last month. I wouldn't attach much significance to that personally though.
Dan Ashworth - will be a coup for Man Utd and quite a loss for Newcastle, if the move happens.
I asked the same a few weeks back with no answer on here.
Even without any money for the window we still need to sort out loans / outgoings. Nat will be returning unless we find him another six month loan (Celtic not interested) and it looks like we'll recall Carvalho
If the Mancs fetch Ashworth in, that could well be a huge step forward for them. They've had no-one comparable behind the scenes since David Gill left, which IMO was as serious a blow for them as losing Ginsoak. Hopefully the Toon will make Ashworth an offer he can't refuse - not that I'm particularly happy he's there, but rather there than at Old Toilet.
He also got binned in Saudiland pretty fast too. But yes, he did quite well at Wolves for a bit. Had actually forgotten about Spurs tbh
The Saudi league's basically a freak show though. I wouldn't pay any more attention to success than to supposed failure in that Mickey Mouse set-up.
United's slow descent into oblivion on all fronts gaining a little more momentum
So @Beamrider or anyone else that gets this. How are the Man U shares being bought by Trawlers PLC? I get that INEOS will fund the purchase of 25% of the Glazer/woodward stash of Class B but how are they guaranteeing they can by 25% of the Class A shares? How do they control the price and sale of these as the Glazers don’t own them?
I understand the end goal will be 17% of total class B and 8% total of class A to make 25% overall. I just don’t understand how they can control the class A sale

Not seen the paperwork but I expect they will have made an offer to buy the shares at a fixed price (and the current listing price will reflect that offer).
I believe the shares are listed on NYSE so I expect there will be rules about pricing. In an equivalent offer in the UK, there are rules (City Code) about the minimum price that must be paid, but I'm pretty sure they will control the price by dictating what they're prepared to pay, take it or leave it.
And they'll have had advice on the minimum price they'll need to pay to secure 8%. In practice, there'll probably be more willing sellers than they need and they'll either go first come first served or reduce the buy pro rata.
Its sweet and adorable that they think the match with Everton means something when compared to the NW Derby with Man U. Beating Man U has always meant more.
Lavia would have kept Thiago accompany if he joined us 😛
A lot to be said for Endo starting the last 5 games (only outfield player to do so) and apart from looking knackered in the second half against Burnley he’s come through with flying colours.
