One thing I noticed today was the United players who put the Runners-up medals around their necks.
These players showed they are not mentally or emotionally good enough for United.

Will we put photos of teams that have runners up medals on and call them mentally and emotionally not good enough?

Don't look back at the photos of Uniteds 09 UCL final boss.. You'll be looking very silly

1st in the Rumbelows Cup
2nd in the FA Cup
3rd in the League

It's a sign of how far they've fallen that this is seen as success

No team stays on top indefinitely. City will experience bumps in the road too when Pep leaves. Who would have predicted the season Chelsea just had? The lost decade Milan had? The mess Barca got into? The money will insulate City somewhat, but it doesn't guarantee anything, at least at the level Pep delivers.

I'd be very pleased with Ten Haag if I was a United fan. You have to start from where you're at and, to me anyway, he's putting in solid foundations. Doesn't mean he'll win a league title given what he's up against (Klopp has performed miracles and still only got one), but if in a year or two he gets them challenging and in a position to win if City do have an off-season or Pep leaves would have to be seen as a success, if he can achieve that.

Zlatan has announced his retirement. What a player. One of a kind.

A lot of noise coming from the Qatari's last night seemingly confident that they have the deal done.

Who would know though in this never ending shambles of a process.

It's weird that there is no European money involved. Maybe people think the prices are nuts.

Why would there be European money involved? When was the last time there was significant investment in the EPL from a European group?

Not that I don't agree with you that the money involved is crazy.

There is more money in Europe. There is no history of soccer in the Gulf.

But now there are people willing to fork out billions to spend their money on something that they want

Manchester United have ended their interest in signing Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, feeling that the money it will take to lure the England striker to Old Trafford is unrealistic.

Have a few mates giving it big about Qatari's coming in and transforming Utd.

Am I missing something? Is their money going to make that much difference? It's not like United haven't been able to buy any player they want the last 10 years. The problem is they've all been shite!

Don't forget Chelsea have been spending big, Newcastle will be spending big, City will be spending big. That is 4 clubs expecting to spend their way to titles. It is not like when Abramovic bought titles at Chelsea and he was the only big spender in town.

Main lads in charge of transfers and players contract for Man United over the last decade has been clueless business men buddies of the Glazers the likes of Ed Woodward, Matt Judge and the current fella Richard Arnold who's been there for years an accountant and promoted once Woodward stepped aside.

Once competent people are brought in it will make a world of difference on transfers business in the seasons ahead. Right now the Glazers are still hanging around like a like a bad smell and halting what should be a very busy summer transfer window.
