No doubt Fulham will get an apology!

Maresca is free, I don’t think Pep is leaving any time soon, and Jorge Mendes will be on the blower doing his bidding.

I am actually a bit worried United will pick up a competent manager in Xavi now.

Expecting Utd to do something sensible is like expecting our current owners to do something sensible. Not a chance.

I would honestly rather see United back at the top than Arsenal and City or Liverpool

It will be interesting to see who gets the better manager, I think we will know after this coming weekend.

Xavi would be very interesting for the neutral though a pragmatic manager might be better.

Zidane is looking for a role too will one of us go for him?

Xavi made is pretty clear he wanted the United job previously so it shouldn't take much effort from either side to get it done.

I know it’ll be an unpopular opinion but the Utd situation just emphasises how much FFP/PSR/Whatever the f**k they call it now is ruining football.

Every manager that goes there will fail due to how many different players from different systems under different managers regimes they have.

Without the restrictions a club that size (They are still the biggest by a mile in this country) would be able to ‘splash the cash’ and form a competitive squad in 1-2 transfer windows under whoever they appoints mould. Bringing another competitive side to the league.

Instead whoever comes in will have to juggle round pegs into square holes to try and make things work, ultimately fail and the whole process will start again.

Does piss me off cos it’s all contributing to the Premier Leagues degeneration into its worst iteration in my (memorable) lifetime.

Maresca is a great manager, I really hope they don't get him.

They will go for Maresca I think!!

In other words in the same situation as us.

Nah, the problem is the scattergun approach Utd has had, and very much like us, we can’t complain about FFP when we’ve splashed £2.5b (more or less) in kids and players that do not show any quality above average.

If they're appointing a caretaker manager until the end of the season it suggests that the person they actually want isn't available until the summer, which theoretically rules out Xavi, Maresca, Southgate, etc. One could infer from this that Glasner is their intended target.

Alternatively Ratcliffe could just be a f**king idiot who has no idea what he's doing.

I've been waiting patiently for the Southgate appointment, it would bring me great joy and I would give my brothers and mum the most sh*t-eating grin 🤣

And now Nancy has gone at Celtic LOL

Was hoping he would stay longer so Celtic would worsen even more but not to be. Let's hope the Chelsea board doesn't appoint him.

Come on Rangers!

The Glazer's have been responsible for money flowing out of the club to themselves and for interest on the debt.

"S

ince the acquisition, approximately £1.2 billion has been spent on debt interest, repayments, dividends, and fees to the Glazer family. This includes £815 milion in debt interest and £166 million in dividends paid out to shareholders. Such financial outflows have led to ongoing protests from fans who argue that the club’s resources should be devoted to strengthening the team rather than servicing debt and enriching the owners"

Manchester United have announced record revenues of £666.5m for the 2024/25 season - but still made an overall loss of £33m.

Not really, because they are the biggest, PSR should be good for them.

United problem is simple. They were developing an interesting team under Ole until they decided to nuke it by signing Ronaldo.

Then they hired ten hag who was trying to send as much money to Dutch/A**x.

Then they decided to hire a manager who only want to play 343.

So many bizzare decision. All united need to do is do simple thing and they will at least be in top 4 every season

Slot might be next on the scrap heap. All these coaches are nuts, there is a reason they are appointed as “head coach”. No one in European football is allowed to sign who he wants, not even Pep. The closest to having that kind of power is Eddie Howe at Newcastle.
