One team has no stadium, failed to sign any players for the manager in the summer and wont be signing anybody in winter If Diego Simeone or Antoine Griezmann had a choice tomorrow of United or Spurs. Who would they really pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. This is nonsense. By almost every measure they are still a vastly bigger club. Spurs have surpassed them how exactly? Even on the playing side United have actually won trophies recently, Spurs haven't. United even finished above them last season. No one in football sees Spurs as a bigger club or as a better job than the United job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted December 18, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2018 Never the right fit for Man United so I too was surprised he lasted this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Who's next on the Man Utd 'You'll never live up to Ferguson' merry-go-round?! I just asked Skybet for odds on Zidane to get the job in the summer, but then to lose the job within 2 years of being appointed. They refused to give me odds on it.

villa4europe Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 18 minutes ago, Demitri_C said: But how can we argue we are bigger if we have been a championship club for 5 years or so if that were to happen and wolves were in the premier league for those years? Your point doesn't make sense though as spurs are a cl side not a league below us spending 5 years in the championship and baggies / wolves spending 5 years in the PL does make them a bigger team than villa it either takes decades or lots and lots of success, wolves and baggies have done neither spurs have done neither in comparison to utd, simply finishing above them for a couple of years doesnt make them a bigger club, they have to win a lot of stuff to get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the absolute must when he was appointed was to get them back in the CL which he did. It wasn't pretty but they couldn't afford to be out of it for another year for a number of reasons.

ozvillafan Posted December 18, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2018 I'm so disappointed. I was enjoying watching ManUre struggle under Mourinho. Any chance of Sherwood getting the job? That'd cheer me up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
