Tbh I’m glad the board didn’t back Mourinho. God knows what our squad would of been like. Plus morale and atmosphere at the club/dressing room.

Also, just saying, the same defence is facing Mbappe and Neymar in the first CL match. That could be a potential massacre on the cards if we resemble anything like yesterday.

Two big game bottlers of the highest order imo. Neymar will spend more time on the floor than doing anything else.

PSG will destroy us if we play anything like we have so far... Leipzig will do us as well.

Maguire, he has no redeeming qualities as a player or captain.

He has a rather large, funny shaped head you could all sit on to watch a game.

That's some redeeming factor he gives Utd fans, right?

Apart from Ole, i believe not one manager we've had has had their own players signed, thanks to Ed cockward.

No manager ever truly gets their chosen first choices. It's all about having a contingency plan

Great signing for 13.4m!

Then why give him a new contract?

Its just been rinse and repeat from the board for years. Club is a shambles and finishes out of the CL places, get a new manager, back them with funds, scrape a CL place, expect them to do it again with little investment, fail and sack the manager, hire new manager and back them, scrape CL place, fail to back them properly again......rinse repeat

His head is big enough to be my beer table tbh

I agree mate. It was a joke!

Wasn't the case with LVG tbh. LVG was backed a little too much

Yeah but he said that some of his signings weren't even on his list so it's kind of irrelevant. If you get a manager a player like Falcao and he wasn't even on the list then it's as good as not being backed.

What time does the window shut?

Yes thats what I mean. Moyes, LVG, Mourinho and OGS. Apart from Moyes, all got backed in the first season when we needed it, but the second season we do next to nothing, get **** results then sack the manager. Its like the board are content with just getting CL then spending the minimum possible. We have turned into Arsenal towards the end of Wenger's reign.

11pm

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

So far 4 out with 5 in so far just less than 5 hrs to go.

11. Then Prem clubs can still sign championship players till the 16th.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

So far 4 out with 5 in so far just less than 5 hrs to go.

So 5 hours to get Sancho over the line.

There's still a chance!!!!!!

Come on man. Join hands and pray with me.

We can will this home!

KEEP BELIEVING!!!!!!

At least with Arsenal you knew the reasoning behing it with the new stadium. Even Spurs did it. But we have absolutely no excuse when even without CL football the club is telling anyone that will listen that we profit year on year.

They've met the Partey release clause apparently.

Even they now look far more of a threat to the top 4 than Utd now.
