A sad day for football, a great day for United. Funny how often one comes with the other.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

It's been coming, but I'm also surprised it didn't take longer for the board to react.

 

[mase]

Wenger till the end of the season.

As USUAL when something regarding United happens when I have a moment over, I visit redcafe. And I love how they're all finding a million different ways of saying "win and we'll back you, lose and we won't".

All the bullshit about philosophy and identity and bla bla bla means jack shit, if the results are below par none of that matters.

 

[AndyAVFC]

Good. Hopefully we will never see him manage in England again. I cannot stand the bloke.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Reportedly a nice little £24m pay-off for Jose, just in time for Christmas.

 

[AndyAVFC]

Interim boss the end of the season - Steve Bruce is available

I simply cannot believe this.

Am I surprised by this decision? The answer is no.

You see, 'All they can do is reprimand'chester United have finally accepted that they're nothing more than a bottom-half team, and their 'fans' have started moving away in masses to 'support' teams that can actually win a game. But in true 'A laughing stock across the land'chester United fashion, they're trying to fix the problem by throwing money at it. When the rest of the footballing world uses passion, and love of the game to fuel them through troubled times, 'Cash in hand'chester United whip out their chequebook in a last act of desperation.

My question to the last few 'Wouldn't win the league if they were in Kazakhstan'chester United 'fans' is this: Are you happy that your squad treats itself like nothing more than a brand? That football and passion is dead within Old Trafford for the sake of yearly returns and fat director bonuses? Does it upset you that 'Have no plan'chester United are only doing something now that their bank balance is being hurt?

Anyone else think Spurs are going to be looking for a new manager soon...

[smat]

hi guys been away for a while but just thought i'd drop in

 

[Bobbin']

Nah, will be Zidane.

Even the lowest of the low (Daily Mail) are only suggesting a £22.5m payout, I daren't imagine another source is challenging them on exaggeration...

I'm sure figures will vary, fwiw The Sun and The Mirror put it at 24m. Whatever the exact figure, its nice if you can get it!

Let's keep tabs on this, we can go higher if we look lower.

 

[Bilo]

I'm hearing 30 million me.

 

[Stevencc]

The Daily Saltire suggests it is closer to £40m.

 

[WhiteRussian]

Am I the only one suprised while they are still in the Champions league? If they haven't got someone lined up, why not leave himin place till they are out?

 

[Super_horns]

Big Sam and Mark Hughes free if they want a stop gap till the end of the season .

 

[Blitzballer]

Wheres Paul Jewell these days?

 

[Bilo]

Seen Mick McCarthy mentioned. Expect the odds to the slashed, I’d get on it now.

 

[Bilo]

Apologies to everyone but Rafa would be perfect.

 

[HarvSFC]

I thought Manchester United were a club who didn’t sack their manager?

 

[Red]

Truly sad news.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Christmas has come 7 days early then. Great news. The temporary manager needs to have connections to Man Utd.

 

[SALTIRE]

The Daily Saltire suggests it is closer to £40m.

A week.

Spurs fans better start fretting. Think Poch will be your #1 target.

Yep, the fervent manner in which Tommy Werner whipped out his chequebook to splash a mere £130m on VVD and Alisson was indeed burning football passion personified.

Remember guys...

We are Liverpool. This means more.
