BBC reporting that the club hope to appoint an interim manager until the end of the season and then appoint a full time manager. They state it won’t be fletcher but that he’s in charge for Burnley. Any ideas?

Tim_99

1.) 05 Jan 2026 12:49:35
Michael Carrick maybe, or someone connected to the club, with some sort of history.


2.) 05 Jan 2026 12:53:53
Big Sam will make sure we stay up.


3.) 05 Jan 2026 13:08:01
If they are waiting until end of season then Tuchel comes to mind.


4.) 05 Jan 2026 13:10:59
Rathcliffe, Omar and Wilcox clearly made this decision based on emotion as we clearly had no plan in place.

Binning this season off in January to focus on next year is absolutely ludicrous from the board considering Ashworth left because of his concerns for Amorim and his 3-4-3.

I'm not saying Amorim was the right man, but surely you have more of a plan than "give it to Ole for the rest of the season".

Onto that, Ole (PTSD incoming) Carrick, Ruud or Blanc. Maybe Fletcher wins the next 2 and gets some joy at City and Arsenal and stays. We've seen this movie before and it doesn't end well.

I hope you're all doing well considering.


5.) 05 Jan 2026 13:18:17
Tuchel? ????
Noooo!


6.) 05 Jan 2026 13:22:53
OGS will do again.


7.) 05 Jan 2026 13:25:33
End of season I agreed red man, he will be no.1 choice. Poch maybe a close second.

If they move now, Glasner.

My choice, would be Emery.


8.) 05 Jan 2026 13:37:34
Bring Keano in…that would be pure cinema ?.


9.) 05 Jan 2026 13:38:50
Can only imagine that would go down swell with the rest of Ingerland if Tuchel took some time off preparing for the world cup to take charge of Manchester United on an interim basis lol.


10.) 05 Jan 2026 13:41:08
Southgate to enter through the OT gate.


11.) 05 Jan 2026 14:03:11
Tichel after World Cup is a good shout.


12.) 05 Jan 2026 14:05:42
Is it not Fletcher until the end of the season?


13.) 05 Jan 2026 14:18:24
I think it’ll be Tuchel after the Word cup too. The club needs a big personality and figurehead to be in charge.

That or they go to Xavi.


14.) 05 Jan 2026 15:50:37
Maresca as interim is probably what they're exploring.


15.) 05 Jan 2026 16:16:04
Tuchel left Chelsea because he clashed with the management over transfers and squad formation, sound familiar.

Wilcox going to sit down and have a Friday afternoon chat with Tuchel and tell him about formations, not a chance.

It just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.


16.) 05 Jan 2026 16:56:35
Klopp. Would piss the scousers off even more than us winning the league!
Yes I know it won’t happen.


17.) 05 Jan 2026 19:11:16
First of all I couldn’t disagree more with the club sacking Amorim. I believe he was the man to change us given time and getting in players he wanted. For the club to ignore the need for a dm in the summer over an Additional number 10 was baffling and also predictable.
Knowing how our club is run they will look to make an appointment on the interim that will in their eyes silence any possible backlash and will get someone in the fans would support and also more importantly someone the media won’t go after ie Gary Neville.

We know how silent he was when OGS was in the hot seat.


18.) 05 Jan 2026 19:31:05
twenty, if they got Neville in, I think I’d turn my back on the club and never attend another match. Can’t stand the snivelling little worm.


19.) 05 Jan 2026 20:22:14
Hope it’s not tuchel, plays such boring football.

Needs to be someone that plays attacking football. I’m not an expert on the manager market so no clue who they will go for.

Glasner seems to be the favourite for the summer. But that’s more 3 at the back football. So not my choice.

I’d try and get Emery from Villla. Or maybe Xavi.


20.) 05 Jan 2026 21:23:28
2toms he’s a rat ?
No I wasn’t suggesting that but they will prob get someone in who g Neville won’t say anything against as it will be an ex team mate. Amorim said in his last press conference that if people can’t handle gnev criticism we need to change club.

It was clearly affecting the Wilcox’s and berradas.
Gnev is happy to spout on about Amorim but never the owners strange that.


21.) 06 Jan 2026 12:54:31
Wilcox will be next out the door.


22.) 06 Jan 2026 18:10:45
I hope so Eric, well actually I hope it is Mainoo, then Wilcox then.

Shaw
Maguire
Casemiro
Dalot
Ugarte
Dorgu
Bayindir
Sesko
Amass
Mount
Etc etc

This squad needs tearing apart.

Anyone seen the post by Turki alalshikh? Seems to be saying United are close to selling to a new investor. Whether that's full sale or just extra funding who knows. Might also just be bs for publicity. What do we think?

Tim_99

1.) 09 Oct 2025 13:49:50
Believe there was a clause in the Ratcliffe deal that after a certain period allowed the Glazers to sell and Ratcliffe would be forced to sell his holding for the price per share the Glazers agreed.

Anything that gets the Glazers out and debt paid off in full will mean popping Champagne corks

The next question is whether the prospective buyer has enough money or is it just the Glazers want to raise more money by selling more shares but not concede control. Not completely sure on the company structure but think if Ratcliffe were to buy more shares that took him over 30% he may be required to offer to all shareholders the same price per share in a full takeover. Hence why he sits at below 30%. Unless there is a clause saying they can’t, then as long as they retain overall 51% the Glazers may sell shares above that level to someone else and pocket the next load of cash. The club won’t benefit until they and the debt are gone completely. A happy day.


2.) 09 Oct 2025 15:25:30
The freeze period ended around mid August RedMan. The 1958 were planning a protest before the Arsenal game but cancelled due to some positive feedback from fans regarding signings and the new training centre. I found it interesting the SJR would put so much money into a project when potentially he could be forced sell his shares. Apparently he gets the opportunity to match any offer the Glazers recieve. I posted that it felt like something was in the pipeline. It’s interesting an individual like Turki Alalshikh would post something like this but no idea if it has any substance. I also, perhaps reading too much into it, found the wording of ‘investors’ rather than buyers/ owners interesting and maybe deliberate?

There has also been no movement from the 1958 recently who have been so vocal and active in their protests to the Glazers. You do wonder if they have been briefed that something is happening?!

OR this could all be nonsense and we are getting excited about the Glazers being gone for nothing ?.


3.) 10 Oct 2025 08:46:58
Probably linked to investment in the stadium.


4.) 10 Oct 2025 11:12:21
Someone buying up all the seat licences?


5.) 10 Oct 2025 14:15:39
turki says a lot of stuff. would not spend too much on what he says. He likes the attention.


6.) 10 Oct 2025 15:50:24
If only this were true….


7.) 10 Oct 2025 21:09:52
redseven are you for real? The Glazers are awful, but wanting to be a pawn in a sportswashing operation isn't something I'd like to see happen.


8.) 11 Oct 2025 11:16:09
I'll be very happy to see the back of the Glasers. They have offered nothing to our club but have taken plenty from us.

That said I am cautious over who it is who eventually buys them out. I'm overall pleased with how INEOS have managed things since they bought into the club. I wouldn't want any new ownership to rock the boat with that. Ideally a change in ownership would either see a total buyout by INEOS, or they at least own the controlling stake in the club so as to not complicate the running of the club.

We have to remember that anyone prepared to pay the eye watering costs of buying us will be doing so with their own agenda, and that may or may not be in our best interests.

Be that sports washing or merely for financial gain. The last thing we need is a power struggle with billionaires squaring off against eachother across the board room.

Personally, what would be my ideal situation is for INEOS to increase their stake to around 70% or more, then maybe a minority stakeholder comes in with around 30% stake. Meaning we are shot of the Glasers, but there isn't going to be a power struggle, or change in how the club is currently being run. INEOS owning a significant majority over anyone else makes things far more secure.

I have a feeling that Sir Jim might set things up and in place for some kind of partial fan ownership held in trust for after he dies. Meaning his legacy will be rebuilding the club and then giving it back to the fans. INEOS is suspect will still own a majority and controlling stake, but the rest being fan owned.


9.) 11 Oct 2025 12:44:51
Nothing could be worse than the Glazers and the debt they have saddled the club with.

If somebody agrees a deal with the Glazers, Ratcliffe will have the opportunity to match it. I’m still not completely sold on INEOS, though, so whether he does or he doesn’t, I’ll be glad to see the back of the yanks.


10.) 11 Oct 2025 14:30:01
You mention sportswashing but conveniently forget to mention the awful history of the glazer family in American politics DonRed?

Extremely large contributors to the Bush presidental campaign, which eventually led to an illegal war that killed millions?

Its only fair to mention both, two cheeks of the same arse as far as I care, but you must be fair. Again, I absolutely do not agree with sport washing nor would I endorse for any of these c**** to own the club, who are undoubtedly involved in atrocities across planet. No to both!


11.) 11 Oct 2025 15:36:56
One is some prats I don't like. The other is a government funded operation to detract from horrific acts. You are equating direct involvement with indirect. That is whataboutism. I'm also not sure about your analysis of this. The Glazers give money to anyone that'll suit them. They funded a lot to both the Trump and Harris campaigns last time. You are stretching very much imo to put those two on the same footing.


12.) 11 Oct 2025 16:14:38
"Some prats I don’t like" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there and i’m not saying the UAE investors and the Glazers are identical, one’s a state trying to polish its image. But let’s not act like the Glazers are some neutral ‘just business’ owners either. Their money’s been tied up in nasty sh1t

If the point is moral high ground, there isn’t one. It’s picking between a sportswashing operation and parasites who’ve bled the club dry while funding war-mongers. Different flavours of the same ? sandwich. I just don’t want either anywhere near United. ”.


13.) 11 Oct 2025 16:18:45
And no, that’s not whataboutism, that’s just called having a memory. You don’t get to downplay one set of rotten politics just because it’s wrapped in a different flag.

If we’re talking morals, the Glazers have happily bankrolled people who create the mess, while the other lot are using football to cover theirs. One’s direct, one’s indirect, both are still rotten to the core.

One stinks less loud, that’s all. Still stinks.


14.) 12 Oct 2025 14:53:04
Saying that I shouldn't take sportswashing seriously because of some other indirect involvement via funding a politician before they took an action is pretty much the archetypical example of whataboutism.


15.) 12 Oct 2025 17:38:34
That’s not what I said at all. I never told you not to take sportswashing seriously, I said don’t act like the Glazers are some moral alternative. And no, that’s not whataboutism, pointing out that both sides are rotten isn’t deflection, it’s context.


16.) 12 Oct 2025 21:54:03
Scholes, Unless you are talking about something other than funding a political campaign you are equating two very different things. It is common - expected in fact - for rich people in the US to heavily donate to campaigns.

The Glazers as I said above heavily funded both Trump and Harris! It feels like you are searching for a reason to put them on equal footing with direct and actual evidence of human rights abuses by the groups funding these sports washing operations. I just don't see the equivalence you do. This, one is bad and the other is bad so why split hairs logic just isn't something I'm ever going to agree on.


17.) 20 Oct 2025 13:58:18
And let’s not be so naive to think Ineos and SJR are not in it for themselves either, like some are suggesting.


18.) 23 Oct 2025 05:07:01
Reality is, if whoever comes in will be skeletons in the cupboard but if they injecting money and United winning you same bunch will turn a blind eye…hypocrites.

Southgate rumours have begun. ??‍♂️.

Tim_99

1.) 28 Sep 2025 13:26:51
I don't want Southgate anywhere near the club, but I can't help but know deep down that he would of got results for us with this team.


2.) 28 Sep 2025 16:55:39
Not a fan either -but he would come in insist on 2 big centre halves, 2 decent full backs,3 in midfield. maybe 4-4-2 . but we would be a lot more solid and maybe start to look like a well coached team. At this point i'm just Amorim out full stop.


3.) 28 Sep 2025 20:32:49
Southgate's only relevant experience is the Premier League where his record reads: got Middlesborough relegated.

We will go down if we appoint Southgate. Regardless what the Atomic Kitten song said he really isn't the one.


4.) 28 Sep 2025 23:05:29
He would probably put his hands round the shoulders of the players and maybe get a better spirit and short term might see an improvement in results but I don't think he is an elite manager who would get us back the top. Let's take the pain now to get to a brighter future.

{Ed025's Note - maybe he should put his hands around their necks Salford?..


5.) 28 Sep 2025 23:33:54
I’d rather give it back to OGS for a go over Southgate.


6.) 29 Sep 2025 07:51:32
And have us see Maguire start every game? Along with Shaw? No thanks.


7.) 29 Sep 2025 11:26:18
How’s it any different to now Trumours?


8.) 29 Sep 2025 13:24:29
Eric79 I think that's exactly the point. So many people are fixated with formation. The issue is the personnel being chosen. Against Brentford we played 5 players that I would say are either not good enough or just not ready - Bayindir, Maguire, Dalot, Dorgu and Ugarte. That's almost half the team. We can get away with one off games where those players play, or even where just one or two of those are playing. The issue is that when we need a lift in our play, those players are just not good enough. Amorim really made a huge mistake with that line up. But he compounded it by not making a change.


9.) 29 Sep 2025 14:43:25
Also Glasner interview, not sure of details but think in German rag. (Not drag) . Although still not sure it’s the best long term if it changes focus away from the leadership team.


 

 

01 Sep 2025 06:45:00
Ornstein reporting Betis have agreed to sign Antony for £22m plus 50% sell on. No payoff on wages. Well done to the club for not caving on this after the stunt they pulled. Another Pratt gone. sancho please!

Tim_99

1.) 01 Sep 2025 07:47:54
Celebrations galore as it turns out Betis did have the money but were trying it on.

Is this the most satisfying deal of the transfer window, or will it be Sancho going to Villa for a something similar

And then Malacia, not heard much but I suspect he will go, then if we sign a GK, which of our GK will move on?

Busy day of outgoings.


2.) 01 Sep 2025 12:30:14
Glad we stood our ground.


3.) 01 Sep 2025 15:13:50
Tim why is he a prat.

I don't think he was good enough, but I never seen him not trying or giving his best.

Not his fault to be honest.


 

 

28 Aug 2025 17:39:51
Galatasary sniffing round lammens and had talks with him today. If we lose out on him then who? because we simply cannot continue with Onana and bayindir.

Tim_99

1.) 28 Aug 2025 17:56:19
You’re putting a lot of faith in a young, untested keeper. No guarantee he’s any good or ready to be first choice.

There are some videos around of good saves he's made. But have a look for the videos on his mistakes. In some clips he looks no better than Onana.


2.) 28 Aug 2025 18:06:03
Why haven’t we gone all in for Donnarumma? The last thing we need is an untested GK. Yes Donnarumma hasn’t played in the PL but surely if available we got to rival City after the rubbish show yesterday.


3.) 28 Aug 2025 18:10:58
Fall guy I’m not saying he’s the messiah just that he’s the only credible gk link we have so if we don’t get him do we have any other options. Continuing with what we have just can’t be an idea, I’d honestly start heaton if we don’t sign anyone.


4.) 28 Aug 2025 19:00:04
Singh,

Because he wants £300k a week and would be coming for the money, have we not learnt?


5.) 28 Aug 2025 20:40:35
Donnarumma isn’t the answer in my opinion. I don’t think he’s any better at crosses into the box. Although he is a better shop stopper. But he will want a ridiculous salary.

I’d look at Costa from Porto. Or just go and get Emi Martinez.


6.) 29 Aug 2025 08:25:51
We should sign Ederson from City. €15-20m for a keeper of his caliber is a steal. Can’t think of too many players who are better with their feet.


7.) 29 Aug 2025 09:28:53
Redseven, if we still had EtH as manager then Ederson might make some sense. Or if we had a manager who puts a lot of focus on playing out from the back with the keeper.

Yet that's not really Amorim's style, he doesn't need a playmaker keeper. He needs a good shot stopper who is strong in the air and commands his box.
The 343 shape should force teams to attack the wide areas with the middle of the pitch congested. That tends to lead to his team's facing more crosses than teams that play with a back four.

The problems we have with Onana and Bayindir is that both are weak in the air and tend to flap at crosses, and neither command their box well or communicate with their defence. Both can be reasonable shop stoppers (although Onana makes a lot of saves he had a tendency to push the ball back into danger, but does at least make the initial save) .

Ederson doesn't solve any of our problems with the keeper while adding a strength that isn't needed and wouldn't be made the most of.


8.) 29 Aug 2025 14:24:31
Maybe on paper, Shappy, but in reality, our current formation just leads to teams running straight through our midfield and attacking us head on. Our vulnerability from corners comes more from the poor positioning of our defenders than our keeper (although, dgmr, our keepers do suck) .

Ederson is a better shot stopper than any of current keepers and could walk right into the starting 11. Maybe Lammens will become an elite keeper, but Ederson is already at that level, and would cost around the same.

Wow what a game and result. That took me back to Arsenal v United fixtures of old, fully if attacking flair and excitement. I’m absolutely buzzing with that and to do it with a late winner is ? not even the most optimistic of us would have saw 6 points against city and Arsenal so to do that is brilliant.

Long may it continue. Have a great week fellow reds ??.

Tim_99

1.) 25 Jan 2026 19:31:55
I never thought Dorgu would be the player that made me so happy. When that one went in, I jumped up and shouted "TONY YEBOAHHHH" and I hope that all of South Liverpool heard me!


2.) 25 Jan 2026 20:29:46
He’s been really good In the last few games since he’s been moved further forward. Even in the Burnley game he did well. Fair play to him he’s taking a lot of stick but has been excellent.


 

 

20 Jan 2026 08:49:33
I love our ex players, but honestly can they just button it for a bit. All this constant negativity and biting against the current players isn’t helping. Obviously they have the right to an opinion but all this is doing is creating clickbait for the media.

Anything anti United will get blown out of proportion by certain outlets and tv so giving them extra fuel is silly. Am I being too harsh?

Tim_99

1.) 20 Jan 2026 11:17:46
Sadly Tim, IMO, Manchester United being poor suits the ex-players because the club’s struggles gives constant fuel to their outspoken punditry, validating their criticisms and keeping their opinions relevant and in the spotlight. Britain has a culture of thriving off of negative media.

Yesterday on Sky News, the main focus from the game was Dalot's challenge on Doku rather than acknowledging a great performance.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Ports..


2.) 20 Jan 2026 12:17:51
And that prxccckk Scholes and Butt have nothing better to do then talk trashhhh. Just because he was a good player it doesn't mean the guy can talk trash and Butt is worse then him in spoutin trash. If they were really big supporters or fans of the club thenthey should shut up and not talk trash as it does impact players now a days. Back in their days there weren't any social media and stuff and now is different.

Anyways they only go on their channel and say stuff to make money and be more popular.

Sad leeches the pair of them.


3.) 20 Jan 2026 12:34:13
Tim just out of curiosity.
Do you think there is more negativity on these pages about players coaches and owners than spoken about on sky?
Id say its much more negative on here every day and the irony of people giving out about pundits negativity when they are worse themselves should not be lost on any of us.


4.) 20 Jan 2026 15:06:07
Have to agree with Ken. 24 hour news, 24 hour radio, infinite number of podcasts, opinion pieces galore. This isn't anything new and everyone involved is just trying to secure a bag.

Having a neutral opinion won't get these lads in the news. Its the same principal about online discussions. Nobody is taking the time to post about something they don't feel strongly about, so you're left with people posting polar opposite opinions with the neutral stance being extinct.

As for the class of 92, their views are no worse than the man/woman in the street, they just have a platform. Negativity sells but you don't have to buy it. Plenty of media to consume if you're not happy with someone's point of view.

Also worth pointing out. Footballers are genuinely as thick as pig you know what. I wouldn't put credence into what they say.


5.) 20 Jan 2026 15:34:43
The difference being that posters on here, whether you agree or not are giving an opinion in a private space not doing it to create clicks, garner views etc. nor is anyone doing it to settle scores or because they have an axe to grind. Maybe some of our ex players don’t, but it comes across that way quite a bit. Just my opinion.


6.) 20 Jan 2026 16:32:25
It doesn't matter where they say it, if your doing and saying the same things or similar.
. (not you in particular Tim) but the posters in general
Read daily here most people have nothing good to say about anything most of the time and the irony is that' despite them being very opinionated most of the opinions are come to work zero practical knowledge or experience to draw from.


Just because you watch a load of movies all your life doesn't mean you know how to direct one. But you get people on here every day telling you how to pick a team or run a company having never done it.
If you want negativity read here you don't have to turn on sky.
Also why moan about them. Just Don't read or watch them. Problem solved and then you'll have one less thing to moan about. ?.


7.) 20 Jan 2026 16:33:10
Tim the Internet is not a private place. In fact it could not be less private.


8.) 20 Jan 2026 18:09:58
I observe with my eyes the game of football and not my ears.


9.) 20 Jan 2026 19:57:35
Not sure you can categorise Scholes and Butt as leeches. Glazers yes, but they are just voicing an opinion not leeching off the club.


 

 

16 Jan 2026 14:20:41
Lots of news out of palace today. Guehi joining city (sigh) glasner leaving at end of the season, mateta will be sold. So would glasner and/or mateta appeal to anyone on here? I think if I asked that 6 months ago the answer might be different to now, seems his stock has fallen lately but he’s a very good manager with a record of success at both palace and Frankfurt.

To have 2 trophies for palace in the last 12 months is fantastic by any metric.

Tim_99

1.) 16 Jan 2026 14:57:13
I would say no and no, but what do I know? Glassener I don't really know enough about, but my preference would be Tuchel, I've warmed to him since he started with England.

Mateta doesn't inspire me, very hit and miss.


2.) 16 Jan 2026 15:09:37
It amazes me these so called pundits laud the glasners and iraola’s. Last 2 seasons crystal palace have finished 10/12 and bornemouth last 3 seasons 15/12/9 they are mid table managers.
We should not be looking at these types of managers. I can’t see it inspiring the squad or future players.


We need someone who has been there and done it consistently.
Glasner has won a europa league in Germany that’s it and some would say it’s a weak league. His league finishes in those 2 seasons 11/7. Mid table manager.


3.) 16 Jan 2026 15:10:00
No to glasner for me a poor manager and worse person.
Mateta would be good option to have with sesko for the right price we need another striker next year if we are serious about challenging on all fronts.


Somebody suggested ilyman ndiaye yesterday too which I thought was a great shout for the left wing.
Murillo from forest is also being linked who I wouldn't be against either.


4.) 16 Jan 2026 15:46:53
All about opinions ajh, I’m not sure I know what type of manager we need if I’m honest. We’ve tried all sorts and for the most part it hasn’t worked. Anyways it’s INEOS ideas that matter and I don’t think any of us could guess what they’ll do next.


5.) 16 Jan 2026 17:51:35
There are many better managers out there then Glasner, he done extremely well with no budget at palace, but we should not be entertaining him, but SJR done stupid things from day one up to now appointment of Carrick being the latest stupid idea, so he probably will continue to do so, it’s a tough team to support atm from top to bottom, mind you the way Ineos are losing money is it any wonder…You can buy Nice FC now for a few Francs as that’s the era Jim lives in.

I think it's a bit rich to suggest that Glasner is a poor manager, and without knowing the guy personally and only going off of hearsay I'm not really in a position to judge him as a person.

However, as good a job as he has done at his previous clubs, I'm just not a fan of how his teams play. Far to reductive and pragmatic.

Semenyo already looking a poor signing for city…? hope he takes the day off on Saturday!

There was a reason everybody wanted him. He's top class. We can’t compete with City et al just yet. We will be back I am sure, just not yet.


2.) 14 Jan 2026 11:08:45
I’m sure we will Eric, does look a great player though. Has the lot.

Reading some of the reports from when Amorim was sacked, Amorim made a big push to sign Semenyo but the price (£70m) was deemed excessive so the club went for Mbuemo who ironically ended up costing the club around £70m after rounds of negotiations.

Mbeumo has performed well and really liked that we signed him. Cunha was an easy deal for the club to do hence why it was done so early.

I guess we could have signed semenyo instead of sesko and played cunha/mbeumo/semenyo as a fluid front three. Now that we look to be going back to playing with wingers, i bet the club deeply regret not signing him in summer.

If we moved fernandes on on the summer and played Cunha in the 10 role behind sesko with mbeumbo on the right semenyo would of been perfect on the left. Cunha could be well capable on the 10 if he had creativity behind him.

Cunha keeps hold of the ball for way too long.


6.) 14 Jan 2026 16:14:42
Hes really good when he moves it quick singh like the ball for dalot at the weekend.


7.) 14 Jan 2026 16:41:39
I reckon we might go for Iliman Ndiaye in the summer. He's about the right age and proven in the Prem, which are both factors that the club seem to be paying more attention to at the moment. Plus he's strong on both feet and he can play on both flanks. I also suspect he wouldn't cost any more than Cunha did last summer.


8.) 14 Jan 2026 23:44:11
Cunha is nowhere near as creative as Bruno. Whilst I like Mbwuemo he has taken Amads position and I don't think we are that much better off. I worry that Amad might seek a move elsewhere.


9.) 16 Jan 2026 14:16:17
Cunha nowhere near as good or as influential as Bruno and numbers nowhere near, Cunha is ok but shown nothing to say he is of the standard required, he is ok for where we are at this time, but would get nowhere near city, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool 1st team
He lacks pace, holds the ball far too long and spends lot of time on the floor. Looked great at Wolves, less so at United….


Sesko same ok for where we are currently but nowhere near good enough…. Mbuemo is our best recent signing by a country mile
I said before the season started the defence is a shambles and that’s where the money should have been spent, build a team in the correct manner, the way RA and Co gone about this is diabolical.

Saw that online earlier. Didn’t he say secret midfielder? One with epl experience but not currently playing there. The inference was then that it’s neves as Jacob’s is the Middle East football guy. Wouldn’t be against it as it’s an extra body but I think we need more of a defensive minded player.

I wouldn’t be shocked if all 3 get in Ken, LB is a problem area and shaw does well for England. Mainoo played well in the Euros so if he keeps up his current form then I think he goes and as for Maguire.

He plays well for England, has experience, is a leader in the group and also he scores goals and takes pens. Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if they are all on the plane.

Morning Ken, I think the hojlund deal has an obligation in it that Napoli have to buy him as long as they qualify for UCL. Correct me if I’m wrong on that. As for rashford, Barcelona will be a nightmare and will probably try for another loan.

Put it this way if rashford can’t succeed at the team of his dreams then I’m not sure he will anywhere.

He’s been really good In the last few games since he’s been moved further forward. Even in the Burnley game he did well. Fair play to him he’s taking a lot of stick but has been excellent.

Think that was the idea, maybe a bit of forward planning for once. Excellent player and at that price a no brainer.
