Are they renting a plane?

Getting the coach aren’t they? It’s only down the road.

I don't like the fucking jinxing posts on here.

that is an ordinary side. 

 

Agree to disagree, it is colossally lamentable pellet of excrement.

Not sure if this has been posted already but...

 

Done far more to achieve legendary status since he left us, bless him the crazy fucker.

Rumours that they want Graham Potter to replace Ten Hag.

Yes, yes, yes. After his brilliant stint at another completely unmanageable club, he'd be ideal.

All joking aside, they really should stick with the manager and clear out all the players.

Including the ones he's spent 450ml on?

He's probably the manager they've had since Ferguson who has been the most personally responsible for how bad they are.

 

Only Mourinho had more freedom to run the club than he has, and with Mourinho, the results were better.

As mentioned in here his approach to buying players is limited to buying those he's worked with.

Really? They're an awful bunch of players in a whole host of ways, but he's spent £400 million of the club's money to make them worse. A good chunk of that sum was spent on his old Ajax favourites. He sanctioned £90 million for Antony, that alone is a sacking offense.

 

£400 million and 18 months later and they look every bit as clueless as they did under Solksjaer's final months. When you see what Postecoglu, De Zerbi and even Dyche are doing, getting teams to play their way in very little time and improving former outcasts, it really shows what a bad job he has done.

But that would be the process of most managers if the supporting staff were unable to offer you any players you actually wanted - the previous manager told them it was all fucked. I've no idea if he's any good at the type of thing, because it seems to me he has to do more than what most managers are expected to do.

 

What is clear, is he's nothing more than a bully and he has no ability to do anything but shout and make the players run around. If you compare him to other managers who are working with less, then he looks pretty incompetent at coaching and preparing a team for the game ahead. 

 

Putting all that aside though, a little more than a year ago they got pumped by Brentford, he shouted a lot and they won their next game against us. So my only concern at the moment is making sure we're ready for a backlash, however unlikely that may seem.

Couldn't agree more. I also hope Klopp doesn't say anything stupid in support of baldy like he did last year when, out of the blue, got his knickers in a twist about Agbonlahor and decided to be a supporting voice for the baldy twat. I still don't understand why he did that before we were due to play them. 

 

I want him to use the press conference to say that we cannot be complacent etc. 

[A_S]

He needs another 5 years on the back of that performance. 

[BeefStroganoff]

Oh how the mighty have fallen. never seen such happiness at a dour draw. Even in the 80s when we won every pot going, United would give us a game and usually win. Their fans have become like Everton.

[Shitty Arse]

West Ham away then Villa for them next. They’ll probably revert back to getting their arses handed to them in them games. Really disappointing we couldn’t put the boot in yesterday. 

[Anubis]

At least we've kept him in a job for Christmas. Very thoughtful; of us.

[El Rojo]

I liked the look of Amrabat in the World Cup, which shows how much I know, or how deceptive international football can be (see also Granit Xhaka). 

 

A Championship level footballer.

Hopefully saved him for one more transfer window, at least.

The one positive we can take from yesterday is just how far down he's taken them. I've no issue with a defensive performance, but they offered nothing, did mourinho style "give the ball away rather than lose shape", time wasted from the 1st minute, they were all over the place and only luck and bad play from us saved them and if we had 1 outfield player had played to their normal level, we'd have won. And their fans celebrated that like they'd just won a massive game.

Many (most?) of the most successful managers have been guilty of being bullies at one point or other. I can’t think of an obvious example with Jurgen but boundless instances with Ferguson, Clough, Mourinho… (Klopp can be ruthless of course, but that’s not the same thing). 
But if you’re an unsuccessful bully then the players will down tools a lot faster. And the only thing you can resort to is bullying even more.

That was a different time though. If you want to succeed with the very best. And Ferguson softened his style by all accounts in the latter part of his career because the players were so precious. And of course I said he was nothing more than a bully. He seems to have no other skill set.
