I think his demise at Arsenal showed that he struggled to relate to modern day footballers and have the influence he used to have. Needs to be someone like Conte / Poch / Zidane / Mancini etc (imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United are an infinitely bigger club than Spurs, he'd also earn a lot more money himself and have a lot more money to spend on players. I'm convinced he'd jump at the chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your still thinking like united are a big club the one in the 90s that use to win loads of trophies . They have been average since fergie left. Spurs have surpassed them, Liverpool have surpassed them hell even Chelsea have. Thats not evening including city. I would put united on same level as arsenal. United are not the force they once were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted December 18, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) This bigger club discussion makes me wonder...this is the third appointment that has broadly speaking been “wrong”. Hypothetically how many more appointments or how many more years would it take before Utd no longer hold their huge club status, are no longer the marketable global brand that they still are? Essentially get completely cut adrift from Liverpool, Man City etc and become like Everton. Five years? Ten years? Or is the size of the club so big that this isn’t a concern at all?

For me as much as I dislike spurs they are. United are on the decline and have a very poor squad when you compare to the teams of fergie. Back in the day players would laugh at going to spurs ahead of united. Now days spurs are seen as a more attractive option than united. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 saying spurs are bigger than utd is the same argument that baggies fans made when we got relegated...finishing above them 2/3 years doesnt make them bigger, utd are probably the 3rd biggest team in the world behind barca and real madrid, i think it will take years for them drop off from that perch, and i think edwood woodwood will ensure that they keep making off the field decisions that keep them up there rather than on the field decisions that see them deservedly be there with that in mind i think zidane will be the number 1 target, he's easier to get and he's got more of a global brand behind him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
