We're always one or two games away from being in a 'crisis'. Comes with the territory of being the biggest football club in the land and one of the biggest in the world.
Things are pretty bleak at the club though. The sale situation, the two players with serious off the field issues, the club being unable to shift out all the players they want due to their own contract negotiation incompetence, mounting injury list etc.
Never a dull day in the life of a Utd fan. In our best moments and worse ones too we are still the biggest news story in town.
Genuinely think if and when the club is sold we will see a Domino of positivity though like Newcastle did. Trying to operate under a huge black cloud of uncertainty will eventually take its toll.
Glazers out! Glazers for Strangeways!
finally looking at the squad most fans would agree there is not a single player in the whole squad who would be a United player should the club "get back to where they belong"
---------------
Sounds like most fans are thick as pig shhhite then
We need the Glazers and the cronies in the club to go.
Do we really see a single United player in a Pep team?
————-
Probably quite a few, Man City don’t field a team of world class individuals, Pep gets an extra 20-30% out of most players
Dooooomed!
Where’s Rishi we Win when you need him?

The reason Pep is so successful and why he can take seemingly non superstars (but very very good footballers) and but them into his team is the simplicity of what he asks. People over complicate what Pep does by using new terms like ‘inverted fullbacks’ etc…but the basics of what he does is simple.
In possession it’s old school pass and move, rotations, working in triangles etc… always ensuring that the person in possession has an option. How often to city play long range or complicated passes? It’s all short medium term rotations and overloads. He then has a sprinkling of wonderful players who add the xfactor to the base setup.
Out of possession again it’s pretty simple, clog the middle, attempt to win the ball back within so many seconds of losing it and if not foul if you can.
Am not saying there isn’t more to it, of course there is, but fundamentally it’s simplicity. The problem is, it’s very difficult for supremely talented individuals to keep it simple, and this is where Pep is a master, he works with intelligent players and gets them to buy into what he wants completely. But fundamentally the majority of United players, and any top level players could play in a Pep team…with varying degrees of success obviously.
United have a lot of really chit so called fans most who have never been to Manchester spend most of the time telling people on the internet that almost every player who plays for the club is either crap, a complete waste on money, and generally not good enoug. Im not surprised that neutral observers anf of course the abu haters think that United are always a club in crisis.
On one side im like "its utd, she spotlight is always on the club" on the other side I think out of the last 30 games i've seen of utd, they've been poor in 26/27 of them, they got an easy draw in the cup last year until the final, and scraped through loads of games in the league (once again this season with wolves and then forest).
Can't keep getting away with poor perfomances, the results will then follow.
We are a critically mismanaged team. I dont understand why its shocking to our fans considering ownership. Do you think it can be solved magically?
We are lucky for 2 things. Ole and Ten Hag. They've made a lot of the rubbish we had and still have able to get us a top 4. Never mind they were involved in bringing in some of the rubbish.
