We have been left behind folks, the infrastructure and workings of other clubs has now overtaken us. Our top brass got lazy and counted the cash whilst others got smart and thought long term. We are where we belong to be due to short sightedness at the top level.

Until there's a change up top then we will continue to languish I feel. That families only wish is to keep milking us dry.
I know what to ask santa for!

A new owner so we can be called Manchester United Arab Emirates?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Dec 2019 15:58:38
The Arab owners aren't the worst idea.
They will very likely give the job to people who manage a club, a dof and actually spend money.
City have improved massively under a similar thing.

If new owners don’t saddle us with debt, don’t take dividends and consultancy fees, are ambitious and do what City’s owners have done, put football people who know what they are doing to protect their asset, then its a football club get on with it. We don’t pontificate over where petrol came from when putting fuel in our cars.

There is a huge difference between the need to buy petrol and the need to have such owners for United. As a radio presenter said tonight do we really want United to be used basically as a marketing ploy to gloss over the bad image and awful deeds of certain individuals / countries.

Yes City are doing well and yes their owners have poured lot of money into the club and community but I would maintain their primary aim has been to improve their public image. Frankly as much as City's owners have put in its a drop in the ocean for them. City did indeed sell their soul. One consequence of them doing so has been the huge question marks about their transfer expenditure and financial fair play. Also about alleged payments to players and their families to sign for them.

Whether the allegations are true or not it is not something our club should be involved with. I don't want our club to be just another plaything for oil barons. It has been bad enough with the Glazers. Let's get some proper owners in who have morals and actually care about the game and more importantly about us fans.

So shappy Arab are evil and what exactly is everyone else? Most of this site is made up of british folk, do people really need a history lesson in how the empire made its money?

And it's not just the empire, how many illegal wars have US and their allies started in recent times? Who sells weapons to Arab nations for a lot of profit?

I love the some people act all holy and whatnot.

Why do you think you're clean? What makes you better than the "Arabs"?

You built your nations pillaging and destroying others because you had technology and advancements to your aid.

Killed well over a hundred million through slavery.

Stole their natural resources, colonized their wealth and territories. Lorded over their affairs like gods.

Built your nations and economies on the backs of their blood sweat and tears.

The same people whose descendants living in your country majority of you still look down upon with disgust.

You're still the same people riding on your high horses saying "Arab blood money".

And I don't want to hear "but it was then" because most of you supported and still support wars in other countries which is leading to millions of deaths, destruction and poverty while we know the real reasons for the war. Most of which is for resource control (oil from wars in Middle East, Blood diamonds from Congo Zimbabwe and Central African Republic etc), drug control (Afghanistan, Pakistan, South American countries etc), lucrative weapons and arms trade and not to forget the threat of any leadership who refuses to dance to the tunes of the western world will be overthrown in usually a bloody takeover/ coup funded and supported by your nations to "liberate" the people from a "monster" or "dictator" which will not only lead to loss of lives but also thro the countries into chaos, destabilize the economy and plunge the people into decades of untold hardship.

But go on about the Saudis, let this not stop you.

Well said CSM. I look forward to Shappy's reply on that one.

Red man, another great line 'We don’t pontificate over where petrol came from when putting fuel in our cars'.

I don't care where the money comes from as long as the clubs ran properly. Which it hasn't been for 15 years. But let's leave the other stuff out of it.

Quite. Do you know how hugely insulting it is to suggest anyone from the Middle East who has made a few quid is a murderer and has blood on their hands. Incredible - quick recap on history, read about the British Empire.

No offence, but it's a totally fatuous comparison, comparing fuel, which society needs to function, and a football team that kick a ball around.

Noucamp spot on. Also yes Britain and other nations did plunder ignorant poorer countries in years gone by and yes selling arms to other nations especially those with irresponsible or despotic leaders is terrible. That said Britain and other countries were not a totally malign force. More importantly if anything we should learn from history and therefore it is wrong to accept money from anyone who has made wealth which is frankly beyond our comprehension whilst at the same time they have exploited their own people and often subjugated or even killed them. As one of the biggest clubs in the world with over a billion followers we are ideally placed to take a stand and promote decency. Money is the root of all evil say some and although not necessarily true it makes people often look the other way when bad things are happening. I really hope we show some spirit and reject such an approach. Michael Douglas was wrong. Greed is NOT good. Unless its us being greedy to win trophies.

We can't change the past unfortunately but we can do something about the present and influence the future. Surely nobody thinks it's acceptable to turn a blind eye to the abuse of human rights currently and publicly happening in Saudi, and, we know their ownership of our Club would simply be used for reputation laundering. If we thought getting rid of the Glazers is difficult can you imagine how hard it would be to remove someone who could afford to buy them out! I love our Club and would never want to see it used for political gain and to deflect from abusing human rights. Selling our souls for pieces of silver (ware) .?

Salford if we are giving tyrants a pass, surely arabs too get the same. If providing enslaved people some non malign stuff absolves the west they are providing you most of the fuel world needs, shouldn't that count too.

Nikh you do know that usa is the biggest human rights abuser in the world and our current owners are good friends and donors to the guy who currently runs it?

Now is the time to anounce Poch.
Ole is out his depth. Were playing poor football, his tactics etc are awful 20 odd % win proves the point. Need to act now before to late.

It's a huge job, top managers will have interest.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Dec 2019 10:13:40
Most may have reservations as the fans have shown they have absolutely no patience whatsoever, a few bad results and they would be on his back, and any manager coming in with this squad would get bad results. We all complained in the summer that we didn't get the players we needed, we all knew we were short, so I am not sure why people were expecting us to be amazing.

I don't think Ole is the right man going forward, but he might be the right man to make some calls now, ship out the rest of the bad apples and leave the next manager with a better chance. A new manager coming in now would have the exact same issues as Ole.

Agree11 Disagree0

02 Dec 2019 12:33:40
Wonder if Florentino Perez also thinks the same before a sacking. What if my next manager thinks that fans will have issues.

Man Utd will be a lucrative job for any manager provided he has the balls to do it.

Agree2 Disagree0

Stop listening to the biased reporting, Ole's win rate is NOT 20 odd % it is 48%.

He won the first 10 games so he's only won 14 of the last 40 games. that's a pretty poor statistic.

Although, I am for him staying a bit longer things really need to improve. Midfield needs an overhaul. Same issue since before Scholes retired.

02 Dec 2019 18:31:52
Midfield is the key to progress.

If we’re backing a manager to take on a five year project we need to back someone who’s achieved something worthwhile in the past. Our manager hasn’t. There is no evidence that he can turn things around. We’re better off cutting our losses now and appointing someone who has a proven track record in delivering the change we want to see.

Also, any manager who thought we could deliver this season with this squad is clueless. I’ve not spoken to anyone who didn’t see this coming in Aug.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Dec 2019 23:51:28
If we had a decent midfield we would concede less and score more. We are scoring twos and threes as it is. Imagine if our strikers had a proper supply line from midfielders who also chopped in with a few goals.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Dec 2019 16:04:40
he puts Maguire as captain. I was there sumday he never talks. Never organises the degence and he certainly does not have leadership skills.

Has hour defence really improved? Were conceding every game.

Midfield was our biggest problem we needed two top CMs and he sigms another LW oppsed to Martial amd Rashford we already had.

He then gets rid a proven goalscorer albeit not the best in Solsjkaers tactics.

His playing legacy is papering over his inabiltu managerial flaws.
