Someone's having a laugh - they Rang Nick and got Ralf

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Obviously I want him to fall on his arse, but it's a pretty decent appointment all things considered.

 

It's only taken them a decade of has beens, sex-pest ex-players, a troll-faced prematurely aged YTS boy, the Moyesiah and king shitcunt himself to realise this may be the more prudent route.

They got Ten - but they need a new eleven.

They should also put Overmars in as Director of Football. 

Funny.

 

I’m surprised Van Der Sar isn’t coming as well.

[Harry Squatter]

Anyone starting the new thread?

 

Erik tenner for a Bag?

 

Hope he fucks up and they replace him with Mark Hughes or Steve Bruce.

I mean it. They've missed an opportunity there. It's who he works best with. 

[cloggypop]

He misses him every day. 

 

This is the first non pay walled link I found. It's still in Dutch.

He'll set them up for a better manager to come in, I reckon.

 

Klopp never had to deal with a poisonous culture on and off the pitch.

 

Ten Hag will need 3 years just to change that.

 

Another 5 or 6 years before they properly challenge again.

[Scott_M]

Fucking hell, Ten Hag looks fucked already.

No but we were fundamentally a broken set of losers.

No doubt.

 

But we had a proper structure from the top, and a decent set of players, all willing to work hard and learn.

 

We also had his first full season out of Europe.

If you want the most profound insights, you need to turn to the BBC.

They were an honest bunch and their attitude was better than their quality.

 

At least our players rolled up their sleeves and had some fight when Klopp came in.

 

Which is more than can be said for the mancs this season. I don’t know if they have the balls for the fight whoever is in charge.

The internet has been a much more pleasant place since I found that site

[Scott_M]

These players contracts expire this summer…

 

 

These expire in 2023…

 

 

Is there anybody they would want to keep?

 

De Gea I assume but he’s not a modern day keeper. Great shot stopper but he’s not Alisson or Ederson in getting attacks started. 

Rashford is obviously a good player but completely lost his way. Shaw is wildly inconsistent.
 

They could easily lose 10 players this summer and still be left with shite like Lindelof & McGuire.

 

I see they are talking about spending £200m. Get the green and gold scarves out again, looks like another summer of underfunding.

[TheHowieLama]

If Ronaldo does not leave this summer - they are fucked no matter what.

[Tj hooker]

Getting the out of contract players off the wage bill will certainly help but shifting the shite they have on 3-4 Year contracts on big wages will certainly take some doing especially if they don't make the top 4 .

Ten Hag has his work cut out to say the least , if they get off to an iffy start will they start moaning like they usually do and start throwing the toys out of the pram .

Good luck lad you're definitely going to need it 

 

 

I don't really wish him luck I hope they are mid table by Christmas wishful thinking I know 

[sir roger]

I imagine the bottom 4 on the list will get new deals and probably De Gea, as the defenders United will have on hand won't desperately require a footballing goalie in the first instance.

 

Shola Shoretire sounds like a cut price option at Kwik Fit

I was thinking about this today. To get from where they are now to a side that can challenge is, City and Chelsea for the title, they're basically going to need to replace everyone. Can you actually envisage any one of their current squad lifting the trophy any time in the future?

 

We managed to go from a poor squad to title winners in just under 5 years, only by virtue of having the world's best manager and allowing him the time to do his stuff his way. It's asking a fuck of a lot for them to win it in the next 5 years. That would mean they will have gone at least 14 years without winning it. It's a lovely thought.

[polymerpunkah]

I hope he discovers new and entertaining ways to make the cunts suffer and me laugh.

Who is left from when Klopp took over? Henderson, Milner, Firmino, Origi? 
 

From a set of losers, rejuvenating the squad, England, European and World Champions in 5 years, is incredible.

 

As I said earlier, at least the squad Klopp inherited where an honest bunch and tried.  That’s half the battle. The mancs haven’t even shown that.

[Bobby Hundreds]

He can make them good but now he has to compete not only with us but Abu Dhabi and the leagues terminal disease that is Newcastle United. We need to enjoy this while we can because the bigger picture is this league becoming nothing more than a pissing contest between  cunt nation rulers.

[Anubis]

He's probably got one eye on the Newcastle job when they cut Howe loose.

I was down to Rashford before I realised the 1.72m figure was their height, as a value it looked about right.

We hadn't had a billion pound spent on the squad though, there's enough talent in the club to be able to massively improve the results with just an improvement in coaching and man management.

 

There's nothing to stop them doing what Arsenal did and stripping back the squad to a core of the better professionals and the best young players with the added bonus of having greater pull and resources than Arsenal to get the players they need in key positions once that's achieved.
