ChristineC: The Glazers need to spend their own money on the club. They used equity and debt to buy the club, so, the equity is not their money abi? They bough the club for 800m, debt used was about 500m, so 300m no be investment? Yes, they spend heavily when we dont make top 4, but, it's rational to only build on what you have by making few additions after making top 4.....it shows that there is a thought process. You dont do overhauls every year. you guys whant Utd to be spending heavily every year, the higher/bigger spenders have only spent a few hundred million pounds more than us. 6 Likes 1 Share |

After how last season ended, it’s very easy to see that reinforcement should be brought in. This isn’t rocket science. The club is about to go on a basic 46 matches next season, any progress can potentially increase that number to 60. These guys might overwhelm teams with massive attacking football for the first 10 to 15 matches, but what happens after that? Bruno doesn’t even have a deputy, Greenwood does not. One injury to any of them, and the team slides back automatically. 1 Like |

You dont neglect your Corolla because you have a Bugatti, one day your Buggati will breakdown because it's tired, and then your Corolla will refuse to start. Giroud, Abraham, Mount are not fantastic players, but Frank did not discard them and play the same starting 11 throughout last season. It's not rocket science! 5 Likes |

The Glazers are not in charge of that. Blame the manager(s), scouts and those in charge of negotiations. Why not go to small leagues/clubs, buy relatively unknown players for cheap, and get them to become the best players in the league. 4 Likes |

How many of them turned out to be hits? Na ur type go complain say we spent money on Mkhitaryan despite the guy dropping disasterClass after disasterClass. Ole has lost Valencia, Smalling, Rojo, Darmian, Herera, Fellaini, Sanchez, Lukaku. Eight players.

nitrogen:let's be reasonable, when has the board spent £200m before ever?? when have they spent that twice in a role? let's forget the past and all it's conjectures. let's even look at it since Ole's appointment so when next you shout sack sack sack, you'd realise how you sound. the man has been on the job for a season and half. when he came in, the team just got battered 3-0 at Anfield and had absolutely no direction. now look at the hard facts: in that time he's lost nine first team players and I'd list them for those with a short memory 1. Mourane Fellaini 2. Ander Herrera 3. Matteo Darmian 4. Chris Smalling 5. Marcos Rojo 6. Romelu Lukaku 7. Ashley Young 8. Alexis Sanchez 9. Anthony Valencia the ins 1. Aaron wan Bissaka 2. Harry Maguire 3. Dan James 4. Bruno Fernandes 5. Odion Ighalo now on the balance of things, Ole needs about 4 players to level. if we look at the commitment to youth development and say Mason Greenwood and Brandon Williams have come through, we still need at least two players because thrusting such youth into the deep end as starting 11 players for the whole season is unreasonable. Ole finished third, made the semis of all competitions he played, tell us how you want the team to go further when we finished 33 points behind Liverpool. you have been quick to bring up Chelsea and their businesses, why should that be a benchmark for Man Utd? even if we look at the facts again, how many players have left Chelsea since Lampard's appointment and how many have come in? let's count the numbers are see the truth. we are some way off the top teams, there's no doubt that the board lacks ambition if Ole is not backed this season. sacking him or not will not directly impact the fortune of this club if same business model is kept. it's as simple as that. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

How sensible is release or lose 8 players in a single transfer window/season, when you dont have replacements lined up?

The Glazers are a big part of the problem. It’s not a crime to take money out of your investment but when you do that at the detriment of that investment, there’ll be consequences. Plus it’s really dumb to support a manager up to a point when he seems to be getting somewhere with the team and then suddenly yank the ladder out from under him. Pep Guardiola overhauled his defense a few seasons ago and they’ve already spent 40m on Ake this season. This, after they found out last season they were leaking goals. Juventus has a plethora of players in their team and still keeps on buying players. They have a good second team. Liverpool bought Mané, Wijnaldum and a few others for Kop in his first season. And years later when Kopp got somewhere with the team and identified a gaping hole in his defense they went out of their way to get VVD for him. The Glazers are not interested in Manchester United. They don’t give a fvck about the team. Else they won’t put an inexperienced mofo in charge of things. That single decision is ruining the club. The failed to land any real player for Nwoyes. They penny-pinched and bought a bunch of averages for LvG and during Mourinho’s time they spent big bucks but didn’t think long term. And when things became tough they yanked the ladder out from under Mourinho. With Olé they’ve started well but now that the team is showing promise they’re dragging their legs. How many players have been sold with no replacements brought in? Matt Judge and his band of buffoons, apart from their ineptitude at making transfers happen, are awarding contracts with huge sums to players who hardly merit them. That’s why we can’t sell these players, not because fans criticize them. I don’t know why Matic should get 3 years. Why did Sanchez get that much? DDG? Rashford? Etc. The Glazers, if they care about the club, can run a tight ship and still rake in profits. The success on the pitch will definitely reflect in their accounts. What they’ve done is turn their cash cow (the Fergie era) into a question mark. And things probably won’t change for United until the ownership changes- and that may happen after they’ve ran the club into the ground and ruined the future of many talented players. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

SIRcumalot: Been a while I saw this monicker. The crisis brought you back? Lol We actually need just about two signings, I don't think it's too much an ask. If dem no sign, we'll have to play catch up all season. Anyone with eyes and brain knows this first team needs reinforcement. We've steadily released/sold players these past two windows. If we fail to sign, Ole would most likely fail, then gets sacked, new manager comes in, gets a solid transfer, then is left hanging again. Wash, rinse, repeat. 6 Likes 1 Share |

nitrogen: 1-2 quality additions is what’s needed. I won’t cry if another 1 -2 squad options are added but that’s for the next season. We have about 5CBs and 3 full backs and about 1 or 2 CBs who can slot in the fullback position when fixtures become hectic. Things are not 100% fine there but we can still manage- heck we had one of the nest defences last season and a lot of the goals we conceded were due to individual errors. The midfield needs depth. We’ve only got Matic, Fred, McTom n Pogba. Only Pogba and Matic are the first choice here, and there’s no guarantee that they can offer top performances when things become hectic. Fred and McTom can step up but it’s a disaster when they play together. A quality addition here won’t be bad. Doesn’t need to be expensive too. Now, it’s glaring from last season that scoring goals is one of our biggest problems. We create loads of chances and just fail to bury them in the back of the net. Before Bruno arrived in January we were parading Lingard and Tikitaka legend Perreira in that attack. Imagine! Lord knows how we coped during that time. We couldn’t create chances and there was a time we scored just one goal in about 3 or 4 games. It was horrible. It’s obvious we need at least one quality addition in attack. Rashford, Martial and Greenwood are a deadly force when played together. But body no be firewood. Even Bruno sef, when things got hectic, his performance dropped. We just need quality additions that will take over when one player is injured, fatigued due to fixture congestion, or going through a bad spell. 2 Likes |

nitrogen:The other day, I pointed out that you can as well say we have wasted money buying players suited to a coach and not the way we want to play (Philosophy) you dismissed my point and I left it there. Bayern tried Kovac which pattern of play is quite different from what is associated with Bayern and it backfired but once Flick came in, we saw the Bayern of old. The big question is; why can't we build on from last season? The defense improved, our midfield is one player away from getting ready and our attack, one or two...In defense, we can do with one more player but no, we can't keep spending... I won't be surprised if the clueless board opt for Simeone after Ole just so we are back to square one... 4 Likes 1 Share |
