Agree. But, we all knew that Mou was going to do max of 3 years. And I think he performed, he won some trophies. Fact is, it will be tough to have him perform well for more than 3 years.

Woody should target young managers doing well in top leagues, not managers from countries like Norway. Also, he should be looking to sack when we dont see what we like. Forget DNA abeg, continue to sack until we find success. It's working for all the big clubs.

it didn't work for Liverpool, it hasn't worked for Arsenal and it certainly didn't work for Manchester United.

True.

But the same Kovac was doing well at Eintracht Frankfurt, just like this Leipzig coach.

You obviously don't follow the Bundesliga. This your statement is the greatest of untruths.

eph12:

Only City has outspent us in the last 5 years. This is not on Woodward

How many of the players we've signed are still playing for the team today? How many have really established themselves as top players the club can rely on.

We lost 8 first team players last summer. We've only replaced like 3 of them. Squad depth and quality is a hot mess.

Maybe na Ole no dey request for players sha. Fûck him and fûck Woodward too.

Nezzjnr:

Na Semedo and him bunch of fellow legbere defenders dey make us Hype this Bayern team

Even Chelsea never had it this bad

Hype? Are you saying a team that destroyed Barca is hyped?

Na Barcelona lose but na Man united fans dey worry



We go dey alright

True.

Kovac finished 11th and 8th with Frankfurt while playing diabolical football.

Nagelsmann took Hoffenheim within one season from relegation survivors to 4th and 3rd in the league, and Leipzig to Champion's League semifinalists while playing exciting football.

He won the DFB-Pokal for Eintracht Frankfurt and I don't think Bayern Munich will recruit a coach that is dropping below average performance.

Kovac was not highly rated. His appointment was not welcomed by everyone. He did an okay/decent job at Frankfurt that is all.
There is no comparison between the hype of AVB and the hype of Kovac, exactly because Kovac had no hype.
Maybe you should ask A40 and Dayo or anybody who follows the league closely.

P.S And how does his performance at Frankfurt change my original statement which was that he was clueless at Bayern?

He needs to request. But if I was Ed, I have to look at the current squad we have assembled and ask some questions if the likes of Copenhagen have a better squad

So Woodie should be blamed for our performances? What are you smoking brah?

See below Woodie's signings since 2014. 1 billion pounds spent on players since 2013/2014. Most of the players were performing really well before they joined United. So, why are you blaming him for the club's failures, he is trying o, abeg.

Paul Pogba, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ángel Di María, Luke Shaw, Ander Herrera, Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind, Falcao, Juan Mata, Romelu Lukaku, Nemanja Matic, Victor Lindelöf, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Daniel James, Anthony Martial, Morgan Schneiderlin, Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Sergio Romero, Alexis Sanchez, Fred, Diogo Dalot, Lee Grant, Marouane Fellaini, Bruno Fernandes

Oga learn to process information before spewing out garbage.

That's my only response to you.

Since Fegie left 7 years ago, United finished in the top 4 3 times only.
Where did all those largely misfits signings take us to and who sanctioned them?
Most of those names transverse more than a manager. Can you blame the managers for their inability to deliver?
Who hired the managers since Fergie left?
Who sanctioned the Sanchez deal that made him earn 500k a week to score 3 premier league goals throughout his tenure at United?

Oga change your name to helium because na inert gas you dey reason like.

timay:


The bolded is the best solution for Woodward. Continue sacking and hiring managers depending on performance. Let's forget this Fergie's era of a single manager, that era is gone. If the club wants to continue to remain relevant and successful, then this should be the next course of action.

They can start by giving Ole an Europa league trophy ultimatum. If he doesn't deliver , sack his ass, afterall, they gave him all his transfer targets in the season.

Look at the Bayern team for instance, the difference between this invisible team and the shitty one at the beginning of the season was the coach. Sometimes a change in the coaching staff brings in fresh ideas and focus for players to follow

What you guys fail to understand is that the United board is with Ole for an overhaul and a rebuild. Ole has said it countless times and even Mike Phelan just reiterated the stance about them gradually building a team and that they are slightly ahead of the projected curve. So you guys should calm down, Ole is not going anywhere soon cos he's planning long term for the team. The board has tried short term fixes and it didn't work out so they're trying out long term now. Unless there's a drastic lose of form and defeats Ole isn't going anywhere soon.

Any thing like L tomorrow.....Sack straight abeg

Una go sack am from this thread then. Lol

Wait. Why do you keep bringing up that Copenhagen game? Did we lose? Didn't we outplay them? Was it not bar, their goalkeeper and some poor finishing that took the game to extra time? Do you expect us to be winning every game 5-0 with 70% possession with this set of players?

Leemao!!

You look like a club like Bayern and u see how well the club is being run.
They get good players for cheap prices and they don't have time to pamper players. If u dey play rubbish, u're gone.

See how fast they replaced their old players. Schweinsteiger, Robben, Ribbery. But United still dey rebuild for 7 years.

Fück the day these Glazers took over United. United's debt has increased to half a billion over the last 9 months. Numbers like that cant be good for any top club's finances.
No wonder they put their lackey and money man in charge so that he can keep helping them squeeze money out of the club as they can keep driving the club into even more debt.

I just wonder how we got to where we are right now.

Their strategy is to appease the fanbase with a few big money signings,whether or not they actually help the side or plug visible loopholes. Then the mostly gullible fan base will shift attention to the manager who takes the heat for the owners/board ineptitude and incompetence.

Then instead of us directing our attention to the appropriate quarters we start attacking and blaming mostly figurehead managers who have little or no say in signings.

Bayern is run like a machine. Their transfer targets are not just random folks. They do proper scouting of players before pursuing them rapidly. How many times do you hear Bayern being linked with players for years like United? Common Sancho we dey do hide and seek,just like with Fernandes. We almost didnt sign him if it wasnt obvious we needed him and he really wanted to come.

We can never be satisfied

United beat Man City and Chelsea home and away last season.

Does United have a better squad than Man City?

It’s very okay to criticize, but pls be objective in your criticism.

Even when we criticized Mou, there were times it was clear that a rebellion was around the corner rather than just the man’s tactics.

Bayern played against Barca, and folks have turned it into a topic about sacking OGS pfft...

I can't be mentioning all the club I want to mention. I'll only refer to our performance since the restart. We've always had poor first half, which any half decent team will take advantage of. I can see that coming soon if we don't switch it up. Scoreline don't fool me, I know when the team is sitting on a time bomb. Because it's only a matter of time that such performance fetch us unnecessary L from a club that has no business giving us L. I look out for our attacking plays and just know that we don't know what we're doing yet most of the time

What if I tell you that we had a better squad than Chelsea this season and our squad is closer to City than you think? You won't agree na.

United brought in Moyes, based on Fergie’s preference. Man thought he could sign Messi because he’s United’s manager.
Successfully convinced Kroos to join next season but didn’t live to see next season as a United coach.

Brought in Van Gaal after the man took Holland to 3rd place in World Cup. Van Gaal cancelled the Kroos transfer. Brought his own crop.
Sacked after winning FA Cup.

Brought in Mourinho (with his CV). Man went for mercenaries. Won the UEL. Rebellion.
Sacked him.


Board gets tired of running in circles, and decides to go with a relatively new strategy, but you still expect them to go back to their previous strategy BeCauSe iT wOrKs fOr oThEr cLuBs..

it is fairly easy to forget the journey so far. if for nothing, Ole has made big strides in sanitizing the quality of playing staff for Manchester United. he has laid off 9 first team players in less than 2 years, the same players many fans wanted gone. that's almost a full squad and we still see there's quality yet needed. the few left are perhaps Jones (perhaps unbuyable) and Pereira because I suspect Mata will join coaching staff in some capacity.
the management lost their way, it will take some time and patience and there's probably still need for a director of football to make some processes seamless.
Ole ultimately may or may not be the guy to return the titles, yet I don't think he's getting the credit he deserves from the press, and especially from fans of the club.

Yes, our squad is close to City. That’s why we keep playing the same XI week in week out, while Guardiola is out there giving FPL managers selection headache.

Maybe when City beats Lyon 5-0 tonight, we can converge and talk about sacking OGS because Lyon lost to Man City.

Or maybe Lyon miraculously wins, then we converge and talk about sacking OGS because United should be the one representing England in UCL, not City.

And possibly hiring the Lyon manager.

Thomas Partey might join Juventus...na wa o


My own is Degea shouldn't start tomorrow.

Nobody has mentioned sacking OGS yet, but if it happens, it's his fault.
