Curtain comes down on our worst season in 50 years. Like a toad sitting in boiling water, we're naive in our surroundings. Too big to get relegated? Absolutely not.

There's blood in the water and we're a long way from shore.

I have little to no faith in Amorim. I'm sure he's a fine coach but since he's joined, the vast majority of our players have regressed. We're now looking at a summer where Garnacho and Mainoo will be heading out the door a little over a year after scoring the winning goals in a FA Cup final. Unfathomable to think two academy lads will be cast aside so easily.

You have to go all in with your manager but again, I have seen nothing to suggest he has any idea of how to rectify these issues.

Maybe a cull of the squad, no mid week games and an easier schedule will make his job easier in the short term, but a summer of Cunha, Delap and whomever else is lined up seems underwhelming, but maybe this is the type of transfer we should be aiming for.

Last but not least we have to talk about our home fans. They're very much culpable in where we find ourselves right now. We talk and sing about being the best/ biggest club in the world. Facts are, on Sunday, those season ticket holders will take their seats, sing a few a songs, a few boos at the end of the game and leave.

There should be riots on Sunday. They should either boycott the game entirely or have a mass exodus during it. Now is a time to stand up, but I have a feeling like our squad, the fans lack fight.

They say it's the hope that kills you. But what happens when there's no hope left?

Understand your point about the fans but as we have seen whatever we do carries little weight with the board.

I would hope that the team feel embarrassed enough after last night to have a real go on Sunday to say sorry to all who made the journey to Bilbao. not holding my breath though.

Its clear the squad lack confidence so us booing is not going to help them. The manager had been saying all season that he knows the team is not good enough so I think we just have to wait and see who he is able to bring in during the summer. Given that there won't be many takers for our players and that potential buyers will know of our poor finances it's going to be very tough to sell and sign anyone for decent money.

I would like RA to play the kids on Sunday. We have nothing to play for except pride and we might as well start the rebuild now.

Hahaha. your welcome to cunha, he is such a lazy player. yes he's performed good at a poor team, but he wasn't pulling up trees at atletico Madrid. Different pressure at Manchester than at wolves and he won't handle it, that's unless a club who can offer champions league football don't come in and pinch him. maybe spurs like the look of him.

Maybe in ten years we’ll be comparing this to the season where Fergie almost got the boot ?!
They believed in him and that seems to be the case here.
Football has changed drastically since then in terms of tactics/ fitness/ finances and the opposition is so much stronger across the board. He’s not going to be let go and has said he won’t quit, so all we can do I think is sit and watch the summer transfer window (hopefully) transform this squad, if not in what we would once call marquee signings but in the right signings, of which there is a B list for this eventuality.

Salford, genuine question. What have the match going fans actually done in regards to protesting the ownership?

Green and Gold until the club is sold. All that done was pay off a few mortgage payments for the lads selling scarfs.

Protest outside the ground and then pop into the megastore, buy a beer and a pie and then watch the game? No wonder the Glazers havnt left. The worst type of protesting. Its just grandstanding without any actual sacrifice.

If half the stadium left after the 10th minute of every home game the Glazers would be gone within a few months. The fact that fans will sit through this and do the bare minimum now means the blame is falling at their feet.

I'll be very interested in seeing the reaction on Sunday.

Mumbles the problem is that realistically it's never going to happen that half the fans will leave on 10mins every game

More fundamental are the Glazers really to blame for the dross we see on the pitch. They don't pick the team nor do they pick which new players are bought.

The managers decide who to buy and it's the managers who have bought badly wasting 100s of millions of pounds. In the last ten years there are a handful of players who have made a significant positive impact. That's where the real problem is.

If I was 'lucky' enough to get a Utd ticket, let alone a season ticket, I wouldn't go without two weeks shopping for my family just so I could turn up to a game and leave after 10 minutes lol.
