That said united are only a couple of really good signings away from being decent side again.

So what you're saying is next year is our year? 

Was this lad not absolutely terrible as Cardiff manager?
Best case scenario for ABUs is that he gets United to the CL again and maybe makes the semi finals before getting the job full time

[screenexile]

Not quite sure what this is . . . he goes on an intellectual meander throughout the middle of it and the point he makes is good but I don't really know judge for yourselves!

Cardiff were bottom of the table when he took over in January. They were a mess and it was a surprise he took that job. They had off the field problems at the time too, with the previous manager and the owner.

Ole worked with United before as reserve manager for 3 years.

Mourinhos gone, we don't care about him anymore

Even though it is a link, boycey, it is very good

I can see why they've gone with OGS, I have no idea what will happen and don't know a lot about the style of football he'll play but I'd take him all day long over Blanc.

Ole is just filling in like giggs did and the results will be mixed. if does well then he should be given it full time but I don't expect that to happen as Jose has left the season in a mess and too much to fix in a short space of time. I take it you haven't read up of watched much of Blanc teams going back to the time that he took unfashionable club to a French league title to how he was able to manage the huge egos at PSG. He is a more long term option and a type of manager that can get the club moving in the right direction IMO and his style of football will be far more pleasing on the eye than the last 3 full time United managers.

I'm hoping to see to some good football the next 6 months as a minimum, top 4 is gone barring a miracle but we're still in 2 cup competitions so there's trophies to be won.

Spurs have no chance of winning the league in the next few years as they won't back Pochettino, the club's revenue will increase but that will be eaten up by debt repayments. Then you've the likes of Alderweireld who'll leave this summer and possibly Eriksen who's out of contract in 18 months. Pochettino will earn a lot more at OT and with transfers fee and wages will have the opportunity to attract a lot more players than Spurs are capable off;

City aren't even the biggest club in their own City and Liverpool have won one trophy in 13 years, was only last season United finished ahead of Liverpool. Revenue wise United are a mile ahead of the likes of Liverpool, United's turnover is £225m more than Liverpool's in the last annual accounts.

Define big?

As far as attracting players goes, the two clubs appear to have completely swapped positions from about 10 years ago. United think just throwing massive transfer fees and wages at decent players will pay off. I'm thinking the likes of City signing Robinho etc.

Liverpool are easily the 2nd biggest club in England yet haven't won a championship in 28 years and have won one trophy in 13 years. United are gigantic in every department apart from results on the pitch this season.

Yes it's a one season anomaly 

[Boycey]

One season, five seasons whatever the song remains the same..

[Boycey]

The thought that enters my head the most today is that there are several players and a CEO or whatever the fcuk he is that have nowhere left to hide. The comfort blanket of blaming Mourinho has disappeared

It's put up or shut up time..

A point made by Gary Neville last night. Players have no excuses now, if Mourinho was their issue.
