British Politics not your strong point, Robb?

If the last few PMs are anything to go buy (and the comparison is accurate which, yeah right), we are truly screwed.

I said in the summer that Moyes was a "Bruce Rioch" type appointment. I am sure United have someone lined up but couldn't get them in the summer, so pulled in a stop-gap.

After going so close in the CL Klopp probably didn't want to leave Dortmund, but after the season they have had so far it isn't impossible he will leave, along with a fair few players, next summer.

Robb, Thatcher + Major = Conservative
Blair = Labour

Unless you were suggesting Klopp is off to City.

As opposed to the vile right wing rag known as the Daily Mail? The Guardian is still a better paper than that.

You reckon Klopp will be United manager after Moyes?

But surely the article is suggesting that following a successful leader, the following one came in and found it tough to maintain the levels of his predecessor leading to rivals taking advantage.
In the political one it was Thatcher putting the Cons in control, only for Major to lose out to Tony Blair and Labour.

What a wast of column space utter drivel, Moyes is his own person and we all thought the best time to take over UTD would be the person after Moyes not to follow Fergie, coz his records would be the stick to beat you with.

I don't think the board or the manager needs to change it's the fans and their expectations that need adjusting.

At the beginning of the season most utd fans on here still thought they would win the league , and maybe the CL at a push, on the other hand other supporters could see this wasn't a great team, put a constant winning machine under Fergie, I can only see this continuing for another few years yet?

Rubbish. Very few United fans said we would win the league. Possibly though, because Robb posts so often, you confused one serial poster with many fans,

"PS if saying that Moyes = Major, does that mean that Ferguson = Thatcher?"

I imagine for most scousers it would be a toss-up as to who they dislike most, so the comparison is quite apt.
However, SAF was a big supporter of new Labour and did communicate quite a bit with Alastair Campbell and Tony Blair, so arguably both Blair and Ferguson are the heirs to Thatcher having taken a lot of what made her successful and used it themselves....
which is why many people find all three of them to be rather disagreeable

well, i study media and communication here in germany, and the guardian is regularly cited as the best newspaper in the western world.
maybe tied with the new york times.

-----------------------------------------------

I'd certainly argue that the Guardian is the best newspaper in Britain, although i rarely read it as i get most of my news via watching the news or the internet.

Just a shame it sold out to the Lib Dems at the last election.

I've said since day 1 that Arsenal will win the league and that this will be a transitional season.

I might be optimistic but i'm not stupid
