FullLeatherJacket posted:That's probably not true either, but people are busy trying to convince themselves that United are the new Leeds and why would any manager even want to take the top job at one of the most famous and prestigious clubs in the world? £260k a week offered to Kroos when he's already at Bayern lol

Jose posted:Its funny how quickly its turned to players signing for Man Utd because of the money and nothing else though United don't need to sign any new players, that's a title winning squad and it is all down to Moyes that they didn't retain the title.

If they'd brought in Guus Hiddink in January they'd be top of the league and in the CL semis imo

Pissflaps posted:Robert Martinez Hmm, I'd take it. Yes, in large part just to upset Everton fans, but that's almost like a trophy in and of itself. Pissflaps posted:The problem is getting United fans to understand that their club of choice is literally like any other. The only thing that marked them out as 'special' was having the once-in-a-generation talent of Alex Ferguson fall in their lap at the beginning of the Sky money. I'm glad you've come around to the belief that football started in 1992 and was invented by Clayton Blackmore. It's been a long time coming.

Paperhouse posted:It isn't that Moyes hasn't won anything though, it's that he's looked utterly out of his depth and done virtually nothing right and made the team play some of the worst football in the league. If we had a manager that actually seemed to have a plan and if you could see signs of progressing and improving then he'd probably be given time, like Moyes was supposed to be. There's now clearly no sense giving Moyes time, but there could be for someone else You could say the same thing about every manager Chelsea have sacked

FullLeatherJacket posted:On the 17th August, Moyes will be the first manager other than Ferguson to take charge of United in a competitive game since Ron Atkinson lost 4-1 to Southampton in the League Cup on the 4th November 1986. This has caused a bunch of people to start hooting like handicapped bonobos that United are going to finish midtable or some such nonsense, despite the fact that they have a far better squad than anyone below third.

FullLeatherJacket posted:United went looking for somebody who was going to carry on in the manner that it was built, somebody who had the right work ethic and who would be able to show the right commitment to the club. It was very clear what they wanted, and why the chose the person they did, in the same way that Liverpool didn't go out and sign Rodgers purely because no-one else was available. They wanted him as part of the long-term project for the club. I don't think that was necessarily the wrong thing to do. Maybe in retrospect you do what Barcelona did and give Mike Phelan the opportunity to run the club full-time, but considering Brian Kidd and Carlos Queiroz, that may not have worked out brilliantly. Moyes and Phelan, the only realistic options to manage one of the richest clubs in the world. Duncan Sperguson posted:Your team is poo poo and is exactly where it deserves to be. Write 10,000 more words about it. I disagree, with a decent manager they could easily beat spurs to that last Europa league place.

Companies announce major business changes during trading hours all of the time. Sometimes companies strategize not to in order to allow the information to sink in while trading is halted but that just makes for a gap up/down the following morning. I do not believe that there is a legal/contractual requirement as such though. Source: not a loving lawyer or market expert by any stretch; American City Plastic

One time he explained how racism is bad because now you can order all kinds of food in London. He also doesn’t seem to understand the Bosman rule or why it was brought in. I’m not going to explain the Bosman rule to you, but the basic gist is that you’re not allowed to charge money for Belgian things anymore because of trading standards.

FullLeatherJacket posted:There was no real obligation on Moyes to win anything this year, and more than likely the next couple of years as well. Will this still be the case for his successor? Paperhouse posted:Attracting players is more about money than anything else though. City paid their way from mediocrity to the top, signing players like Aguero, Toure and Silva before winning anything iirc and it didn't really take them very long. United won't have any trouble getting good players in if they're willing to pay what the other teams do. They'll have no trouble attracting the players that teams offering money, champions league football and the chance of trophies don't want for whatever reason.
