Yeah, but people called this in August when United were giving it the whole "yes we ran out of time now but just you see the rebuilding will continue in January and this time we really mean it!" treatment. Nobody's coming in, the midfield will continue to be a travesty and nothing will improve.

It’s hard enough to get three players done in a transfer window. To get six or seven done is extremely difficult if you are getting proper talent.

I love how all the press are bending over backwards to write articles about how THIS TIME Mourinho's definitely going to get it right and they've won three games in a row and he's the man for Spurs and he's changed and THIS TIME it'll work out and Spurs are really the club for him.

Royalty is a continuous shitposting motion.
Mou has a fuckton of trophies. I think he's past it (based on his last couple stints and especially on how they've ended) but even then he won the Europa League and League Cup in his first year with United and won the league with Chelsea in 2015. And Tottenham should be better than they looked under the last days of Poch.

Still, I can't think of two worse matched people than Levy and Mou, and Mou has been burning his bridges more and more, so I can't wait to see Tottenham win the League Cup while finishing 7th and not getting past the round of 16 in the CL.

Yes, insane histrionics like saying it's ludicrous to write and publish articles about how Jose's going to be amazing at Spurs and is a perfect fit for the club, based on three games and ignoring literally his entire career until now.

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
Jose to new club fanbase progression:


Pre joining rumours: oh gently caress no

Actually signs: oh well at least he wins trophies

First year: gently caress yeah he's amazing and has turrned the club around. He's changed himself too.

Your fanbase may win some trophies at this point.

Second year: ah he's doing well still but he needs to tone it down in the media a bit

Third year: ah ffs he's done it again.

Of course they are because idiots are going to read it.

Football journalists write an article to be correct on the day it is published, that's it.

Fans are better off finding their own coverage from their fanbase that will be critical and objective than anything from a British paper or online sports site.

Soccernet have a pretty good article on how things fell apart at United, and shockingly enough a lot of fingers get pointed at one man in particular.

quote:

Heralded as the "Chosen One" after signing a six-year contract as Ferguson's successor, Moyes was led to believe that big moves were underway to sign Gareth Bale, Cesc Fabregas and Cristiano Ronaldo. Woodward even told him that the club were just waiting to press the button on whichever deal he wanted to do.

As the days ticked by, nobody arrived to boost the squad. Panic set in. But with three minutes to go before the August 31 transfer deadline, Fellaini arrived from Everton for £27.5m -- £4m more than his escape clause would have allowed him to leave for two weeks earlier.

It was a disastrous summer window and privately, Moyes and Woodward began to point the finger at each other.

quote:

"Ed [Woodward's] problem is that he doesn't know what he doesn't know. He means well and wants United to be Premier League and European champions again, but he thinks he has the solution to everything. He doesn't, United don't, and he needs to hire the right people in key positions."

Also some choice quotes about Moyes.

quote:

"Before games, [David Moyes] would say, 'we need to make 500 passes today.' What is all that about? 500 passes? We never had that kind of thing under Sir Alex [Ferguson]. Before we played Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinal at the Allianz Arena, he told us to try to win corners by kicking the ball off Bayern players' shins. It was laughable really."

And Van Gaal...

quote:

If a player shot and missed, he had to explain himself after the game. Louis hated players shooting with their first touch -- he basically ordered them to take a touch before shooting.

Van Gaal sent every player video clips via email of what they had done wrong. When they ignored him, the emails soon came with "read receipts". During team meetings, the manager would criticise players in front of their teammates for the most basic technical mistakes.

i can understand the entitlement of a man u to piss and moan and ask for change when things aren't going their way, even with someone like mourinho in charge, but giving that as a reason to want rid of a repeatedly successful manager joining your chronically unsuccessful team is utterly loving bizarre

i feel like i'm reasonably well placed to comment on this too because my similarly unsuccessful team recently employed steve loving bruce, and i actually find myself not hating it at the moment. give that a few hours tho
