Seems like groundhog day here, but such an overhaul of that squad is needed.  The same old problem persists though.  Who is gonna want to pay money for, or even match the wages, of these "stars".

The club seems to be all out of good ideas, from the top down.

PSR beginning to nip in here too.

This is it

There's a raft of people lining their pocket, where it could and should have been a money printing machine, its become a vehicle for transfer of wealth, from the fans/broadcasters to the players/moguls

Ferguson managed to keep winning when the glazers were  seemingly taking money out of  the club.

While I agree theres  a bunch of cowboys running the circus , that doesn't excuse the  state of the teams performances. Successive managers  have spend probably close to a billion  pounds  in recent years, yet the performances have been brutal for a long time , and there's hardly  a player  you'd seriously consider keeping.

Teams like Palace , Bournemouth, Brighton have  better setups and managers are getting a  tune out of  seemingly "lesser" players

Has to be a failure in due diligence buying that many lemons

Utd are a selling club now

To have a league season the same as any of those teams wouldn't change a lot in the terms of criticism right now.

Bournemouth 10th 45 points
Brighton 9th 48 points
Palace 12th 43 points


How and why they have allowed themselves to fall to 14th in the table is the main question and what can be done to at least do as they did under Ten Hag,Solskjaer,Mourinho where they finished 2nd or 3rd in the league and win trophies. 
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Man United v Athletic Bilbao
Tottenham v Lazio or Bodo Glimt. That's gone to penalties
