The Manchester United Thread

For what it's worth, as I alluded to a few pages back, a Utd shareholder mate who's always pretty clued up about what's going on there (gets a lot of his tickets through Charlton and few others he's connected to giventhe absolute ridiculous open balloting farce Utd run for aways that forces lads to every possible option). through his contacts, said after the 5-0 Rodgers was the ONLY person under consideration should they make a change.

Take that for that it's worth.

Yeah that’s what I’ve read from a couple of people normally spot on with Utd news. And there’s a couple of lads I know from going to watch academy matches that have kids there who know coaches.

Honest opinion mate as I can’t recall Liverpool matches under Rodgers. What was his style like. Leicester seem to play some structured forty with decent build up. But look Shakey on the counter.

Custis, Ramano, Whitwell, Wheatley have all mention it’s this week in different articles.

It wouldn’t honestly surprise us though lol with our lot incharge which is the bigger issue.

Rodgers is in absolutely no way the answer. But least we might have some semblance of playing style.

Can't find anything from any of them expect from Romano who's knows nothing anyways. Only one I can find is from Chris Wheeler.

People don’t like Ramano and rightly so as he’s gone way OTT with his here we go ****. But he’s actually a good journo. Also MEN have just put out a piece stating Rodgers is favourite if we sack Ole.

Nice. What season you on mate?

I’ve literally just started. I’m gonna go for Mpabbe and Kessié on frees. Then that should be good for me in wise the first couple windows.

I’m going to try getting rid of Mata, Jones, Lingard, Fred either on loan or sale. Just setting up player training at all levels atm. And seeing what youth I can focus on.

We had the sublime to the ridiculous under Brendan.

Most of it was superb to watch and he must be a players dream to play under. There's not many better coaches/ teachers than Brendan Rodgers. Free flowing, attacking football. He just lets players go out and play. Can't organise a defence for **** like which is his major downfall to success in the big league.(Just look at how he's thrown away the top four 2 seasons running in spectacular fashion.). But his brand of football is exhilarating in the main. 2013/14, which is £terlings (What's gone on there BTW with Pep? Utter madness to me the way he's seemingly fallen out with a lad who's been the best English player in the league for the past 3 or 4 years IMHO. But I digress ..... ), best ever time in his career to date when he just gave him a floating, free role behind Sturridge and Suarez, is the best football we've seen since Evans in the PL before Klopp tipped up.

All that said, the backend before Klopp was some of the worst football we've ever endured save for Hodgson's 6 month error. It was atrociously insipid, sterile ***** as he completely run out of ideas. The atmosphere at games was as bad as its ever been and we really sunk to a low ebb. So we had both ends of the spectrum under him.

And when he gets in front of a mic it's often cringe worthy *****. He tries to say what he thinks are the right things. But they come out embarrassing the living **** out of everyone. 🤦🏼‍♂️

His main issues come with having overall control. He's not a manager. Nowhere near strong enough to deal with big personalities and he gets overwhelmed with everything they have to do now when he just wants to be out on the training pitch teaching. Just a very good, players coach. What he should be.

But he's never stepping back to just coaching now.

IMHO, Utd wouldn't move forward with Rodgers. Certainly not to where Utd should be. He's just another perfect Glazer 'yes man.' Probably get the initial manager bounce like Solskjaer got. Then when that honeymoon ends, and it turns the other way, he runs out of ideas.

Yeah, it would doubtless be fun and exciting to watch. But the likes of Ronaldo would just end up taking the P out of him.

As superb as the Cup win was, he's bollocksed things up at Leicester. Utd is a WHOLE other level.

I like him. But he's not a manager. And don't be expecting a solid defence if he does replace Solskjaer. Even with better personnel and a DM. That's just not his thing.

Romano got caught with his pants down the other day making videos ahead of any reliable news and he would list them as "private" so if the news come out he would be first to "break it". He's a clown.

Also MEN is full of opinions, not facts. None of them know anything. All we got from some reliable people is that Glazers are aware that Ole is not doing well and he'll be judged in next few games.
 
I honestly get aneurysms just reading the Brendan Rodgers links. The worst part is a lot of United fans seems to be embracing it as well. Some even point to the fact that Matt Busby played for both Liverpool and City.

Ignoring the Liverpool connection, he's a bottler. I know he won the FA cup (he needed some VAR luck btw) but he's also bottled top 4 finishes in 2 seasons back to back. With him, we're basically getting Solskjaer 2.0. But ofc, he's the perfect yes man for the glazer who'd want to hide behind his record of youth players and masquerade it as "the United way". Such BS
