Yeah Kompany was a terrible manager for Burnley in the PL. Maybe they know something we don’t but that seems the most bizarre one of the lot Lucky

Who do you think would be good though Sean? There’s nobody obvious. McKenna looks like a crazy option, he really does. But don’t forget Utd know him really well already. So this wouldn’t just be on the back of back to back promotions. It would be based on what they know from his time at Utd as a coach and he was rated extremely highly. I genuinely can’t think of a manager aside from Tuchel or Poch who Utd could go for.

Yeah it’s important here to differentiate between just terrible signings and which have been the biggest waste of money. Pogba, for instance, wasn’t a terrible signing. He just didn’t live up to the hype or his fee. But he was excellent at times. We’ve signed far, far worse players, that’s for sure.

Yeah really good to see you back Lucky and hope you’re well. Antony and Enzo both good shouts but there’s probably a lot of recency bias going on there. I’m sure there have been some worse ones going further back. Pepe was a shocker for Arsenal. Keita an awful signing for Liverpool. Grealish at £100mil still looks crazy to me, albeit he’s been decent enough at times. Mudryk has to be in with a shout too. Caicedo I still think can come good but he’s looked very average at times this season.

Yeah Klopp will be missed in the league for sure. Was a big character and made me hate Liverpool again 😁, which usually means they’re doing things right.
He had no right to compete with City and helped ensure the league didn’t quite become like the German league albeit we’re getting there anyway now.

Player of the season: Odegaard
Signing of the season: Torn between Cole Palmer and Rice. Macallister worth a shout too. Will go for Rice
Worst signing of the season: Mount has to be in the debate based on how little he’s contributed. Caicedo has been very disappointing.
Best breakthrough season: Cole Palmer. Kobbie Mainoo worth a shout but he’s not been as consistent as Palmer
Manager of the season: Unai Emery_____________________________

Bollocks on social media Paul? Far from it. Have a read of this. It’s bizarre how it’s allowed to happen. Should be a massive conflict of interest

All that nonsense about Utd is completely missing the point Paul and a very weak attempt at insinuating it’s not uncommon. You must see how him being paid by City’s owners is a blatant conflict of interest. It would be great if you could answer the point without resorting to whataboutery. It surely can’t even be in City’s interest to have that conflict of interest?

I meant on VAR duty Paul. It’s a disgrace that it’s not considered a conflict of interest. He should never be allowed to officiate City matches, surely?

Absolutely no surprise that Michael Oliver, already on the payroll of City’s owners through his stints in the UAE, is chosen to referee the FA Cup final.
Re the charges, there’s absolutely no way City are getting any kind of real punishment. They’ll get off with a small fine IMO. They no doubt have the best legal team money can buy so will find some way to get off.

It’s just awful now. There’s an argument for removing him tomorrow morning.

That has to be it now for Ten Hag. Injuries are one thing but there’s just no plan.

Completely agree Chucky. Henderson has to be stronger there.

Looked very soft that Alfie. No way that’s a foul at the other end.

It’s silly CM. There’s seemingly no topic which doesn’t end in “but look at Utd, though”. I wouldn’t mind but we’re our own club’s biggest critics so I’m not sure of the point which is attempting to be proven.
“Fulham weren’t great last night”
“Yeah but Utd were even worse 3 weeks ago!” 😅._____________________________

Ed I only quoted what ETH had spent after CM quoted what Ange had spent.
No I understand what you did Paul. I’m just struggling to understand the relevance of what Ten Hag has spent when Ange was the topic being discussed 😁. Why Ten Hag? Why not Poch for example?

Ed, difference with Ange is that you can at least see a plan with him and a style of play that the players have bought into, even if he can be rather naive at the back. And whether he’s being too insistent on playing it out at the back as he did vs us yesterday, or the players are to blame I don’t know.
But with Ten Hag, it’s very hard to discern what the plan is bar just trying to be a good counter attacking team. One might argue Ten Hag is just playing the cards he’s been given but the problem is he’s signed quite a few of these players over a few seasons and they haven’t really delivered.
Again, I don’t understand what the whole Ange debate has to do with Ten Hag? 😄. Why must everything be compared to Ten Hag? Sure, Ange has a plan. So did Bielsa and we used to expose it every time we played his teams. Used to love playing his sides. Me having a go at Ange doesn’t mean I think Ten Hag is better or particularly good. This is about Ange though, not Ten Hag.

Look at how Ten Hag was brought in to do an interview with Carragher and Neville after that awful start last season and again now with Neville. When will Poch or Ange get that treatment? Yes, the pressure is always going to be bigger on a Utd manager and you know that when you take the job but some kind of equal treatment in the media would be nice.

Are you forgetting ETH has spent between £400-500M since he’s been there and are imo in a worse position since Ole got sacked.Only a freak season from Rashford with his goals last season
have papered over the cracksWhat made you think anyone had forgotten that Paul? Utd fans have been extremely critical of Ten Hag’s transfer dealings. Not sure what that’s got to do with Spurs though 😁. CM is spot on re Ange. He gets an easy ride in the media because he says “mate” after every sentence and because he manages Spurs. Same goes for Poch. Ten Hag has been hammered by the media and rightly so.
