Stevo985 Posted May 6, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2019 Nobody is not good enough for Celtic. Eric Black could be appointed and they’d still walk the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Neil Lennon as manager. Jose could give Lennon his pre-season trophies and Lennon would be delighted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Last time I saw a Mourinho team play was United against West Ham in the Premier League.. Completely uninspired. West Ham scored within minutes and United just had nothing on offer. I switched off, went to bed. In the morning I saw that the scoreline had got worse for Mourinho. Mourinho has broken records (for the better) with Madrid, won the treble with Inter, won the Champions League as an underdog with Porto. Of course it doesn't end there.. But I'm not here to get my nose brown kissing ass.. I'm curious to know what went so wrong for him at United. I am open to the idea it was Pogba alone.. We had an import who had played in the NBA for the Washington Wizards come over and join the team I was playing for at the time.. This import and the head coach didn't see eye-to-eye, and because of the caliber of this import, having NBA experience and everything, the club sided with the import. This coach had brought unprecedented success to the club and had been a member for at least 20 years. He was demoted to a lesser role within the club due to the fallout. The toxicity between the two saw multiple players boycott training. It was a mess. All because these two grown ass men couldn't learn to work together.. Obviously whatever happened at United would be different. But Mourinho leaves and all of a sudden they look like European elite again. Doesn't make sense.

The bounce was real, but they have been found out pretty quickly. I do think Pogba is incredibly disruptive, to the point I wouldn't want him at Villa in the Championship never mind the Premier League. But above all that, I think their squad is just a bit shit. They should have signed more 'Mourinho players', if you're going to appoint a manager like that you have to give him free reign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the 4-0 to Everton and the losses to Wolves, they have only lost Europe's elite. City, Arsenal, Barcelona etc. Hardly condemning for a new manager who's had to turn a sh** show around, with a squad that's 'just a bit shit'.

You brushed off those losses to Everton and Wolves (twice) as if it is no big deal, I don't agree. All in all they have won 2 drawn 2 and lost 8 of their last 12. Yes, to some good teams, but this is Manchester United we are talking about here. Their squad cost something bonkers like £800m. I'm not putting it all on Ole. I am saying the squad isn't of the required quality for a club of that stature. I watched them a couple of weeks ago against Chelsea, utterly dreadful game devoid of any quality. Either the manager will pay for it and off we go again, or the squad has to. Either way next season could be very interesting indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see consecutive losses to a Wolves team that will join the European elite as of next year, due to this years efforts, as anything but disappointing United's people. Remember they have also taken some big scalps and recorded some hefty wins under Ole. I really don't see how they have been found out.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Well one theory might be that when Ole first came in it was shackles off, go do what you do. Insane run happened. Winning breeds confidence breeds momentum. New manager bounce in action, think Tim Sherwood. Plus Pogba looked like he could be arsed, for a bit. Then perhaps Ole's ideas start to take hold, Pogba loses interest too and drags the squad down with him, they have had no get up and go for a long time now. If they hadn't just appointed him, this would be enough to take down any United manager to be fair. As you say fair play to Wolves, they're a decent Premier League outfit. But I think we're in danger of downplaying Manchester United's downfall here if we start giving them a pass for losing to Wolves twice in a couple of weeks, followed by an absolute pumping by Everton and showing no signs of actually wanting to beat a top club either. It's systemic of a long term problem, a squad that isn't good enough as I said (IMO). Either way, the manager needs to earn his salt and find an answer and right now, he isn't doing that.

sne Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Ranieri stepping down at Roma after the season. It's one of the clubs that's been linked with Mourinho... Or will they rehire Spalletti and make room for Mourinho to return to Inter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Conte is going to Roma I think. Maybe Sarri aswell if Chelsea sack him although that seems less likely with them getting top 4. Just me surprised btw that Fulham gave Scott Parker the job full time? I know he picked up a few wins but would've thought they'd have got a more experienced manager in. Probably be the same as WBA, they'll float around the top 6 all year without ever looking convincing for top 2 and then they'll sack him in March.

Zatman Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Parker is quite a highly rated coach at Fulham think he worked on the youth setup and they have a few youngsters coming through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if they don't sack him in the summer. They kinda need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted May 13, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2019 I don't really see why that's so crazy. It's harsh, but they've narrowly scraped survival. Could easily have gone down and they have been on a pretty terrible run of form. I think they'd have been one of the favourites to go down next season so may as well try to get someone else in. Any team in the championship lacking a manager or thinking of changing manager would be crazy to not give serious consideration to Hughton. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
