Talldarkandransome Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Got totally battered by Brentford yesterday, lucky to get a point in the end. I'll be amazed if Ten Hag lasts the season, they are utter crap and I have no idea how we managed to get beat twice by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 31 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31 The brand of football that ETH is playing is clearly not sustainable. It doesn't seem to be something that gets mentioned by people like Neville and Keane from what i've seen. If it was Moyes playing this way for them he would have been sacked a long time ago. Not sure how ETH keeps getting away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 The players don’t appear to be playing for ETH - there’s rarely any effort or desire shown during their matches. I imagine ETH will be shown the door in June and some other poor sap will inherit that basket case of a squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I'm thinking tuchel Which is great because I also think he's blagging his top table manager status, players don't play for him which is a recipe for disaster at utd Hoping they don't go flick or nagelsmann who would both make sense and have something about them and need a bounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) 4 hours ago, HKP90 said: Can't believe how jammy Man U are. Commentators commending Toney. Man if my team created 29 shots on goal and scored 1 I'd have frigging sacked my entire forward line, their children, their children's children, and anyone who even so much as served a bacon sandwich to the attacking coaches. We must've had 20 + shots against them at VP. Can remember Diaby making some ridiculous decisions on the counter against them late on. Edit: 23 with 10 on target, 56% possession aswell.

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted April 2 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted April 2 Assuming they don't make it this season, United will have finished in the top four on four occasions in the last nine years. Even for a club as big they are, that's got to start eating into that global fanbase of theirs sooner or later hasn't it? They're becoming irrelevant. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool had a similar down time for many years between their 80s success and their recent resurgence under Klopp but retained a massive fan base. I don’t see Man U going away as a ‘brand’ anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young children aren't supporting Man United out of choice anymore. It'll be because their parents support them. It's majority Man City for the glory hunting kids near us, with a bit of Liverpool and slightly less Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not irrelevant as Liverpool didn't do much for about 15 years yet still had millions of fans in Asia. The one to watch is the kit deals they sign as there are penalty clauses in some of those contracts that they get reduced payment if they don't make CL for two successive seasons so they need to get there next season otherwise that will start biting into their FFP.

lapal_fan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I went to haden hill park with my kids on Monday and there was an Indian family of about 12 (cousins etc I suspect) and every single one of them (mom's, dad's, kids) had this years man united shirt on! It was literally a squad! Shame it's United, not villa! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it's United, not villa! To give some context around that… Indians who emigrated to the Uk in the last 50 years had no affiliation to any PL club. As they got into football, they ended up gravitating to the teams that were on TV the most and played the best football. That was inevitably Liverpool and Man Utd (depending on which decade they got into football). Once they became die-hard fans, they passed on their team to their kids, siblings, nieces and nephews… so now you have a whole generation of younger fans following their parents teams which is Man Utd or Liverpool (with a sprinkling of Arsenal).
