Wonder if they give him a chance to spend some cash in the transfer window before he goes.
It is now coming home to roost that Man United weren't really a big team after all - they were just lucky that they had one of the best managers on the planet at the helm for so long.
Gonna be a long road back for them but they don't seem interested in getting even the basics right, just a money making organisation at present.
I reckon we could get £80m off them for Alfie in the summer
I think Ole is to soft for the job at old Trafford
They are a big club obviously, but they did get lucky as their success came just as football became ‘trendy’ in the 90s and all the casual/ Chinese fans started supporting them...if it had happened 10 years earlier Liverpool would have got that.I'll disagree with you here.
They are a major football institution.
Whether it became such an institution as such after, or because of Munich, 58, I couldn't say. But they are a massive club.
But what's happening here is history repeating itself.
They threw money and managers to try and maintain what Matt Busby gave them. That only happened when a certain Alex Ferguson became manager, and his jaikit was on the proverbial shoogly nail in 1989/90 in particular. I could be wrong but I reckon he'd have been binned if they didn't win an FA Cup tie v Notts Forest that season.
Now of course, they've had a few managers and umpteen millions spent trying to replace Alex Ferguson.
What's added more grist to the red mill is the team across the city matching anything they have ever produced football wise, at least domestically, and of course that lot up the road on Merseyside, skooshing the league this season, and look like being top of the heap for a wee while to come.
Just my take on something I couldn't give two fc_ks about.
Bet he’s quite happy...worse they get better his legacy looks...Alex Ferguson is not daft. They can dress it up as retirement but he knew the end to their domination was coming. Since his departure they have made mistake after mistake trying to restore that domination.
OLE'S AT THE WHEEL MAN. GIVE HIM AS MUCH MONEY AS HE WANTS. MAN U ARE BACK!
Don't think your completely wrongAlex Ferguson is not daft. They can dress it up as retirement but he knew the end to their domination was coming. Since his departure they have made mistake after mistake trying to restore that domination.
Exactly mate. They spend big but it gets them nowhere. Money is part of their problem.The premier league is utter dross this year apart from Liverpool. United are 5th with only 34 points after 22 matches. The gap between 5th and 14th is only 4 points, even City aren't up to their standard of the last couple of seasons. Ole should have been sacked a couple of months ago but it's not just him, United need to completely rip it up, sack everyone, bin plenty of the squad and just completely start fresh, might mean their struggle continues for a couple more seasons but there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Right now United dont show any signs of improving and will fall deeper and deeper into mediocrity the longer they keep spending big thinking a few signings will change everything
At least they've got an excuse for leaving early. Cant say the same at IbroxBurnley's second goal was an excellent strike.
Haven't seen Old Trafford look that empty before the end of a match before.
Must be time for a change for them.
Good mate at work in China is a Burnley man, he slept through the game, called him and woke him up.
Our EL form would make us favourites in my eyes.I'd love to draw them if we get by Braga.

UTD are poor, I had a treble on Burnley, Motherwell and Killie last night.
Pity the last never won.
The way Liverpool, City and the rest are going/buying UTD are at least 5 seasons away from catching up, if they ever will.
